Race Hate ?

It is the truth and don’t be sorry. I live here (not in indiana) and I know.

I never said what race I said people thank you

Quote from your original question:

all of the white people were mad angry.

So you did say which race which makes you sound racist.

I highly doubt ALL people were like that - you paint with a very wide brush !

White people down south also think “The south will rise again”. To be honest I think its just hate that has been passed down from generation to generation. I don’t think white kids are born hating blacks but they are told from family members that they should.

PERLEASE GET OVER IT! IF THEY WERE TO CALL YOU THE and WORD THEN YOU SHOULD BE WRITING ON HERE OR TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER MOVE ON, NO MATTER WHAT your GET PEOPLE IN LIFE LIKE THAT YOU GOT TO ACCEPT IT IT AINT A BUNCH OF PRETTY ROSES IN THIS WORLD YA NO

they’re stupid and its the way they where raised

its all tradition

ignore it, they only thing that really matters is how smart you are anyway

I live in Memphis, which is quite close to the Mississippi state line. While not all people reacted in that manner, many did. I found that most of those reacting in a racist way were older. While most of those reacting in a conservative way (Obama will ruin the country) were those in their 30s and 40s. The really young (teens) that reacted with such idiotic views were usually parroting their parents. Hey, we live in the South with quite a few ignorant rednecks and many uneducated idiots.

I speak the truth as well… my condolences to Memphis… it has really become a dystopia.

well im sry if its the truth ?? and sry if I offend

I never said what race I said people thank you

hey I’m not from “down south” USA, but personally I think the word “N…” should be outlawed…the actual word when spoken is a racial slurr and I agree 100% with you its 2009 !!

In australia most ignorant people tend to use the word “coon” to call native australians (aborgines), which is another derogatory term similar to the word n—.

I’m caucasian and my friends are all a mixture of multicultural fruit salads :)

PS: BO is one hell of a cool president, his wife is a smart woman and his kids are so well mannered and cute

I’ve met my share of racist people up North and I’ve lots of open minded people in the South. Like the blessed one says, you paint with too broad a bush.

While there are many things that worry me about the future one encouraging thing I see is that every new generation seems to be less bigoted than the last. When I was a lad most people still used the and word and I even heard college educated people make claims that blacks were less intelligent or less evolved than white people.

its just a southern traditan

Why should I not be offended by anyone’s slander of the ethnic group I belong to? Because it is done at whim without the fear of being politically incorrect to do so? Why should I show anyone respect with due diligence when others show nothing but contempt for my own heritage? Is this the way we expect mutual respect to be achieved?… by constantly berating my culture as ignorant… mean spirited… hateful… and still expecting me to hold my tongue.

How much of this cultural bashing by… “rednecks”…”hillbillies”… “crackers”… “inbreds”… “poor white trash”… is the culmination of their own condemnation by the better sort the rest of you belong to? You’re no more philanthropists than you are hatemongers simply directing your hatred towards those not protected by social mores.

Climb aboard the great southern trend kill train… of seemingly limitless capacity and boarded by all manner of never-do-wells that find solace from their own shortcomings by hurling rotting goods at those pilloried by virtue of birthplace and kept there through the haughty self righteousness that seems to be merited only by the distance one was cultivated away from southern culture. Pompous is a word that may be hurled back but only in regards to the nature of the slur in hand waiting to be lobbed in my direction in the first place… no longer equivocating…that libel is actually too good for some of the rabble brood nesting like plague rats in the urban areas.

But I will stay my tongue… for now… just as with glory…all power is fleeting and the social hammers of today will be tomorrow’s scrap iron.

Social pressure? lol, that would not have ended slavery.

The ENTIRE economic structure of the south was based on not paying for labor. The plantations and farms were not designed to function without slave labor. No matter how or when slavery ended, the south was going to crumble.

If the government had “bought” the freedom of every slave…that would have been agreeing that slaves are property to be “bought”. Humans are NOT commodity.

There are people who like to group others by race, and discriminate because of it, all over. It isn’t just the South. I have met some of the most wonderful and loving people in the south. I would speculate that it was the civil war which makes them remain more racist. First is that the South use to own more slaves than other states, and even though this was wrong, in places like Britian there was a more diplomatic way to ending it, but in the South there was war, and so much of the south was ravaged, and so many people killed, they might hold resentment towards blacks because they feel they lost much of their state’s rights in the civil war, because of them.

Or in other words, if rather than forcibly have the terrible practice of slavery ended through war, the government would’ve bought the freedom of every slave, and then outlawed it, the Souths way of life wouldn’t have been so drastically changed so quickly, and they would be less likely to hold resentment at being forced to change through war. What’s more is social pressure from other states probably would’ve been great enough to force them to end slavery on their own terms, rather than through war.
