A while ago, I was watching some TV show, and a commercial came on for the "NAACP Awards Show" which would include only black people. Why? Aren't we past the differences? I can bet all my money that if a Whites Only award show was presented, it would cause an absolute from everyone, not just blacks.

So, the question is, why does the NAACP awards ceremony still exist? It just shows that blacks want to be in a different category.

Actually, when can people stop dividing people with skin colour? When all the people is colourblind


Well you could still see the darker tone and separate blacks from whites if you're colour-blind...

Anyway it will be a while before that happens.

That shouldn't happen. We need to embrace our ethnicity and be proud of ourselves. We need to get over judging others by race and feeling sorry for ourselves due to our skin color. I love the diversity of people. It's what makes us different. We can't view race as a hindrance.

Huh?
You're saying we shouldn't stop dividing people by skin colour and then saying that we should? xD

And one more thing.

I feel similar to NoName on the issues raised in this thread


Me too.
I'm really not good at wording things, because I don't know many facts either D=
but I agree 100% with what NoName said.

Embracing diversity will encourage racism. By creating individuality in groups, people will always be excluded because they were born the wrong skin tone. For every person appreciating a unique culture, another person will looking down on it. By destroying racial diversity, racism will be eradicated.

Isn't that rather like killing all the women to eradicate sexism?

So you're one of those who wouldn't mind living in a world of clones, eh? I think Asians are cute looking. Should I not be allowed to think they are cute merely for being Asian? What about hair color? Should we all dye our hair so we can't be judged for being blond or brunette?

There's no such thing as a perfect world. Even without diversity problems would be had. Might as well embrace diversity than fear it, feeding those who wish to take our diversity away along with our individual rights.

Blackv, there are 2 ways you can take "Black People < White People"
Just wanted to see which one he picked.

Not fair.

How about: Just not care. That's a brilliant solution.

WHITE POWER! (in a good way )

Oh yes but then people get terribly offended and start mumbling about 'acceptable use', 'human rights' and 'olitical correctness'.

That's what I'm saying. You can't eradicate racism.

As surprising as it may seem, I do not wish to live in a world full of clones. I'm just stating the only way to completely purge racism. For example, after three-thousand years, Jews still hate Egyptians. You'd think it would get old, but apparently nothing excites a Jew like good Egyptian bashing.

Is this what you mean?


Yes. Yes it is.

Kirby, why the fuck do you even care that you can't use that word? Is it the reason why equality between the races cannot be achieved?
Sure the use of that word has a double standard, but who the fuck cares?

Actually, it's a symbol of racism. He made a perfectly valid point. They want equality but then they have words only they can use.

Agree its proven every day. And they get mad when we use certain words like cracker I guess.
