More blithe racism - Page 6

Making special rules for people based upon their skin tone is racist.

If you want to follow the logic of your dumbass thinking then Obama is a racist against blacks and responsible for US slavery because his father's family were slave traders.

Wow! Does the 9th Circuit know about this?!

Maybe, if you're looking to be offended and see racism.

That will be a powerful retort when and if someone actually proffers such a line of thinking. I'm just glad that there are no black people and/or slaves left alive to witness this tortured squabbling.

In actuality, within the black community there is a stark demarcation based upon skin tone.

I don't understand why we don't have a goal post shift smilie.

Stephen Maturin · #**131** 10-05-2011, 11:57 PM

Non-native smilie alert :alarm:

Matlock, don't get me wrong, I have massive respect for you as a poster, as a legal professional, as a wit, and as an all around good guy. But maybe the smilies are not so much for you. This coming from the guy who made :leafguy:

It's no

, but it's a start. Someone more graphically talented than I am could take the idea and create something great with it.

Here.

Now let us never speak of that thing Maturin posted again.

Qingdai · #**136** 10-06-2011, 07:28 AM

That is a work of beauty, Matlock who? Did a what?

So, like a month ago or so, some ridiculous juicebox wrote a column for Forbes called "If I Wuz a Poor Black Kid," which helpfully explained all the stuff that an old white man would do to pull himself up by his bootstraps.

It was p. ridiculous, and you can follow the links to find it if you want to, but it was all the same stuff you see from teenaged lolberts all the time. The only things that are really even notable about it are 1) a grown assed man actually sat down and wrote that, and 2) a grown assed publication published it. I mean, I know it's Forbes, which is the magazine in which privileged old white men get their feelings hurt by things they don't understand, but it's tone-deaf even by their standards.

So yeah, boring. But this guy is p. good and I like him, and he fists Michael Douglas in the comments:

I was thinking 'wtf are gene marks' for a second there

And after having read it I'm thinking 'get your gene marks away from me!'

LadyShea · #**139** 12-22-2011, 04:09 PM

“Getting Gene Marksy all up in here!”

lol

Lisa you need to make me a moving avatar like that. :nod:

Jeroll · #**143** 12-23-2011, 01:10 AM

In actuality, within the black community there is a stark demarcation based upon skin tone. I know this because I'm black - see my avatar?

Besides even if I weren't black, I have some black friends.

I own a rap album, too.

And I watch Cosby. OK, I watched it twice.

Georgia School Math Assignment References Slavery, Beatings « CBS Atlanta

Quote:

The first asked, “Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?” The other said, “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?”

Georgia is presently challenging certain provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, in part because they are ". . . based upon discriminatory conditions that existed more than forty-seven years ago but have long since been remedied . . ."

Jerome · #**145** 01-10-2012, 01:40 AM

lol, that is the same argument used in arguments against the 2nd.

outdated, yet those dumbfucks would argue for using outdated if it s in their interest

For some reason this reminds me of the Mr. Sparkle commercial.

And most people ridicule the concept of "anti-racist math" when they first hear of it...

The nigger grandson of the writer of the text of that document says the same thing on 1090AM radio in Baltimore (Home of the NAACP).

When horozontial allignment goes horribly, horribly wrong. This is a big trend in teaching right now, taking the subject matter and using it in all classes. I am curious to see the other questions and how they were done for comparison.

It can make for some weird stuff. Many middle schools do this with the Holocuast and WWII.

"A train leaves Northern Italy traveling 25 miles per hour, with 27 boxcars each containing 88 Jews, bound for Dachau..."

Yeah, that will get kids excited about Math.
