But seriously though, white dudes get offended over "whitey?" For reals?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
This white dude gets just as offended when he hears anything even mildly racist about people who are NOT white. So if one of my white friends said something about Latinos, for example, he would be checked.
b/w
I am NOT representive of ALL white people, Herm. So no, "white dudes" don't get offended. Just me in this case.
So hard being white. I mean omg sometimes I get called whitey and it's times like this I think how much easier life would be if I were anything but white. It's like... Minority people think it's ok to call names and like, doesn't my sadness mean anything to them?
Why do you suppose nobody but you gives a shit that batman said whitey?
Why do you suppose nobody cares that you're offended?
How no white people are rushing to your defense right now? How come no non white people are sticking up for you and saying "yeah that's racist!"
Why do you suppose that is?
A few things.
1) I'm not waiting for people to rush to my defense. I am not representative of ALL white people (cue "you can say THAT again!"). I know most (if not all) whites on this board are not offended by "whitey".
2) I'm keenly aware of the social capital I inherited for simply being white, and I'm not comfortable with it because I know the history behind it.
3) I wish the world was post-racial, and my part in seeing that is by being anti-racist. You can't get beyond racism by excluding any "race", including whites. Yes, I understand the colonial history and attending misery that white people foisted upon the world. So how do we move past that? By staying in the past? I prefer to live out in my actions the future I wish to see while honouring the realities occupied by others...just not at the expense of excluding groups.
It wasn't that long ago that "no homo" was acceptable and funny. Why do you think, Gary, that term went away as passable and has in some measure brought us all closer? How about "retard": Why did that go away, and how has it brought people closer?
I respectfully challenge ALL Strutters to move beyond using racial descriptors to see how your perspective shifts. It can't be anything but positive.
All that said, you certainly have a right to hold an opinion and a philosophy that is counter to mine. But again, I challenge you to lose your tolerance for racial descriptors, particularly when they're derogatory.
I can chime in to say that Batmon has more than once referred to me in reference to my screen name as "whitey" when it's clearly a reference to the beverage visÔÇô├áÔÇôvis a tip of the cap to the favored shirt of many in the warmer months. Dude is a provocateur! However, if this website was a "white tee," it'd definitely be tattered, yellow-stained armpits. Perhaps it's time?
Didn't parallax used to sign off each of his posts with "kindly"? We've come so far!

an unarmed 17 year old in Missouri was gunned down in the street by police earlier today and left for four hours. Then the police came in with k9 and riot gear to control the "angry mob"

Smiling Young White People Make App for Avoiding Black Neighborhoods
Talk about White People Problems.
At it's very meanest this place is about as grim as a supervised Montessori playground when there's a missing cookie.
It's just words and silliness. No one is losing any teeth, even when they get imaginary kicks to the head.
I've gone from darkie to White People Problems
:-P
(sorry, couldn't resist, tongue firmly in cheek)

I'm glad you have decided to stay.
TRY HARDER
PS your girl looks like Curtis Mayfield.
Then you have clearly done enough. The planet thanks you for your efforts.
guess what race.
The bar has been infiltrtated by newjacks who dont get the game.
They can only work off the the distintergrating ideals built here, but they cant make any improvements.
These new kids dont have the imagination to draw their peers to build on the conversations that SS built.
Shut this shit down......get out before your brand is tainted.
Thank U.
And what exactly do you do, my bald hipster friend, that makes you superior?
PS your girl looks like Dennis Eckersley.
PS your girl looks like Walter Cronkite.
ps. your girl looks like clint howard
It works!
