This is one of those forwarded email you recieve,, it doesnt matter if it happened or not.. but it is different..

i thought racism was over in this world. i see no point in it.

that was the right thing to do (move the man and not the women (oh god not in a sexist way))

classic , now that would be a kodak moment to see that womans face.

thats good stuff

im not against Racism im not saying im racist but Racism i think is part of what you believe in and its your right to free speech Black people take racism over the top sometimes like if they dont get something there way they always say " youll do that for a white person but now for a black man" many black people say that and onto ther other hand of racism how come we say " you F***** black B*sted"   we can get sued for that but then if a black man says to a white man "you F***** white B*sted" why dont they get sued. My point is im not against racism i think you can express your self anyway.

We are all inherently racist. It is in our nature.



joelm your point on sueing is most inaccurate. Any individual can inititae legal action within the Civil Law System for anything they like. A white man has every right to sue for damages under anti-discrimination legeslation"if a black man says to a white man "you F***** white B*sted" The same applies for the opposite situation. However like any legal complaint, going to court is one thing, recieveing damages by proving loss is another.

On the freedom of speech issue, i suggest you read Mary McAleese's speech "In the defense of freedom". (She is the President of Ireland)  In the speech she raises the issue of how far is too far, and what limits should be on the freedom of speech to maintain social cohension and harmony.

ROFL that women should be kicked
good email though

Very good.

It's horrible that racism is still present in many countries...

I don't know about racism, all I know is I barely see these days.

In my school, black people tell us "Just cause your white!" if we did something bad and got in trouble, but that isn't racism, it's simply a joke.

But, I haven't heared anyone say they are "black" or refer to them by the nword.  I think we can't really do it for them because they were victims, we weren't.

Anyhow, I have alot of black friends and i'm cool with that, they're great guys.

ive been discriminated against heaps of times in many contexts and it pisses me off. there is a reason why it is against the law. it hurts and there is a difference between expressing your opinion and being a dickface. most of the time people are being dickfaces. 99% of the time i mean.
