Racism & the Presidential Election

**Fat Guy** · 11-02-2008, 09:07 PM

Here’s a video I found and thought it was funny but I think it brings up some real issues on this election.

I wonder how much racism will play a role in the election.

Aha I LOVE this guy, I agree 1000%.

I'm not trying to get this thread closed but its funny how the people pointing fingers at racism are usually the ones perpetuating it.

**BgMc31** · 11-02-2008, 11:19 PM

^^absolutely ridiculous statement. The guy in that video is a clown and completely misguided.

Muhammad Ali once said if you could get ten million white people in one stadium that would accept the black man, die for the black man, let his daughter marry the black man, and sit at the same dinner table as the black man.....there would be one white man that would blow the stadium up and kill every single one of them.

Best definition of why racism will never end I ever heard.

I would love to see it end. I still hold out hope for humanity. We all bleed red.

**zimmy** · 11-03-2008, 12:06 PM

The way things are going...it will end....so many kids are growing up with different races in them. Soon it will be a mute point. I hope for that day to come soon. I think all these groups that go out of there way to seperate and segregate their own people will make racism stay around for alot longer than it would have to without them. The NAACP , LULAC... if you want to have every one treat every one else like race doesn't matter, then quit purposely forming these groups to make sure you stand out.

**Skully44420** · 11-03-2008, 12:35 PM

i would like to see racism end as well. one of my roommates friends was over the other day and was like you're voting mccain right? the only reason he gave to voting mccain was because obama is black...i was just like dude thats fukking ridiculous. you don't know any of the facts other then that and thats why you're voting mccain...actually wanted to pound the annoying fukks face in. i was going to take a piss and was like when i get out i'm gonna go argue this with him...well he was already gone

Lol.... How can you promise something you have no control over?

Racism will never end... As sad as it is, it wont...

**j4ever41** · 11-03-2008, 08:21 PM

will it ever totally end i dont know but it does become less with each generation. People will always find a reson to be prejudice against another group if country was all black it be lite skins against dark skins if country was all white it would be blondes against brunette hair or blue eyes against brown eyes and if nothing alse we would have different religions against each other.

Racism is as strong as ever and as long as there are different people it will never end. Sad to say but this is what i see, western countries are probally the least racist countries there are, believe it or not

That's probably true, but certainly not through legislation. That would inevitably have the opposite effect of what was intented. Racism will only end when the human race becomes an amalgamation of all races, which will most likely happen at some point in our evolutio n. Thus, racism would have to end because there would be but one race. However, other forms of hate will no doubt replace it.

**Bojangles69** · 11-03-2008, 11:18 PM

racism has the same future as sexism.
it will become one of those hidden less pronounced but always existing drives in society.

Exactly. We're already on the road to this. Think of all of the mixed people you know right now. Last night I was hanging with a half japanese/half irish girl...what?!

**JiGGaMaN** · 11-04-2008, 02:40 AM

I agree.

Yep I sure agree with that.. Having lived in Asia for the last eight years its obvious Asian's are more racist than almost any one on the planet.

Racism will never end as long as we are all physically different !!!
