Online Racism

edited June 2005 in Strut Central
So I've been lurking on some other message boards lately, and I was shocked to discover the virulent racism espoused by some people, even when they are aware that ethnic minorities are present...It's bad enough to make a war-weary veteran like me cringe. FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://soulstrut.com/ubbthreads/dopoll.php">INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pollname" VALUE="1119385006coselmed">

How does SoulStrut rank compared to some of the other online communities you participate in?[/b]"SoulStrut represents a new paradigm in racial tolerance.""Despite the occasional ignorant comment and abuse of Ebonics, SoulStrut is pretty cool.""Thanks to SoulStrut, I now have some black friends to discuss my love affair with African American cultural production. Who cares if I only speak to them through the internet?""Not a day goes by without someone saying something about race on SoulStrut that I find objectionable.""Racist? Nah...The only thing this place is guilty of is being a hotbed of sexism and homophobia!" INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Submit VALUE="Submit vote" class="buttons">

    "Not a day goes by without someone saying something about race on SoulStrut that I find objectionable."

    I only think less of people based on the whiteness of their skin when it comes to their opinions on issues of/or related to Blackness.

    4 pages by 7pm EST, easy.

    I only think less of people based on the whiteness of their skin when it comes to their opinions on issues of/or related to Blackness.

    Yeah, because white people can't possibly have valid opinions on black culture.

    without a doubt... This site has taught me that people who claim to be against racism make more of a point of pointing out skin color in non-joking ways than anyone else.



    file under: the new and improved "you wouldn't understand its a eskimo thing"



    or

    Yup.

    I'm especially enjoying reading the doozies on this thread while checking in on the Edgar Ray Killen thread now and then.

    Why are you getting your crust in a ruffle over white people being made to feel guilty, poptart?

    Haven't you expended tremendous effort in attempting to convince the forum to share in your delusion that you're not white?

    Hi new Asian-American friend! Isn't African American cultural production neat! Hey, speaking as a "honky" (it's ok to call me that - I can take it, and probably deserve it), I want to know - are you able to enjoy black genius music even without the self-hating Anglo liberal guilt that makes it so fun for me? Just curious!

    funny how you get angry about this, almost as if I touched a nerve. Your right I still don't view myself as white and considering the anti-semitism I've had to face that many wasps don't I'll continue to claim that.



    I just find it disgusting that white dudes somehow think they are more understanding or down with equality when they bash the white race; Shits pathetic.

    Young Guz:

    You're my e-woadie and all but maybe it was directed at you. I've read so many SUPREMELY SUSPECT responses by so many soulstrutters that I can't even keep track.I've seen so many threads in the past 2-3 weeks alone that I sit and say to myself "are these dudes for real? am in the twilight fucking zone?"

    White ain't a race. And dare I say, neither is Jewish.

    You're the only one that's in a tizzy here, Guzzle.

    I just asked you a couple of questions, and have yet to really assert a perspective of my own in this thread.

    I will say that I don't think I've ever encountered any bashing of white people on here, though.

    But a hacky sack is obviously the first sign of an impending apocalypse.
