Twitter Racists React to

[oh the horror]

In case you were hopeful that Obama winning a second term was some kind of indication that racism doesn't really exist anymore, check out Twitter. The amount of hate speech, referring to the president as a "n*gger," a "monkey," calling for violence and for the south to "rise again" was depressing

Not saying it's purely an American thing, I'm sure there would be a bunch of people like that here if we ended up with a black or Asian president.

Just disappointing to see. I'm sure it's better than it was a few decades ago. Guess you can only hope it gets better generation to generation.

I wouldn't say it is changing that much. This election was pretty close with the Republicans banging their heads on the ceiling. They just need to throw out the polarizing non issues and diversify their voter base. There is an overall mood shift to the right in this election and staying with conservative values. Republicans just need a moderate fiscal conservative candidate in 2016 and they will probably win.

Yes, just one percent.

Your insecurity is blatant on topics like these.

[MavsSuperFan]

It's not 1%, but I dont think its the majority anymore.

Racism isn't gone of course, but I honestly think its diminishing. Very few young white people even consider race all that important in my experience. The majority of blatant racists like that walken guy are middle aged or older. These people will die out naturally over the next decades.

I personally don't care very much about a persons race. If you're a nice person and we have similar interests I would be just as likely to associate with you regardless of your race, ethnicity, orientation or religion. I don't have the numbers but, 40% of the white vote went to Obama, I'm going to assume at least 80% of that were people under 35.

Most racists I have meant are losers who live in the woods and make their own soap, hunt for food, etc. Maybe its cause I am white, but I don't think I have met any racists in the professional world (I'm an accountant, specifically work for an audit firm). Racists of course exist, but they have relatively little power and ability to influence the lives of the people they hate.

I think in a generation or 2 racism will basically be gone in America.

[stallionaire]

racism will never be gone in this country. history is too ****ing crazy.

maybe only until whites are the minorty and they can't push blacks/hispanics/asians around anymore

I just meant that it would become so socially unpopular that racists would have to hide it. It wouldn't be able to affect the economic prospects of any minority group eventually.

Said this before once and I'll say it again.

All minorities (except for a scarce minority of peaceful chaps) would never be as humane or apologetic as White people have, if they had committed the same atrocities upon others.

It's a harsh reality and sounds "traitorous" but it's true.

And additionally, blacks are not in a position to systematically and economically subjugate whites.

Most blacks are racist because they are scared of whites....HISTORY has taught our parents who in turn taught us that white people (a large amount) do not like us for whatever reasons.

Modern day whites cling to the melodrama of angry blacks being out to get them when in reality most blacks live in America live in 5 cities and commit crimes on other blacks.

*Mind you, I tell my friends in the hood that the biggest enemy of the hood is US because WE do all (well, the lion's share of) the killing, degradation of women, and property damage, etc...

I'm not looking to blame whites for anything, I just think that young white men have a skewed view of the world. The country was basically handed to entitled baby boomers (who got a ridiculous head start on the rest of the country) who are now in turn complaining about immigrants, hand outs, and leeches.

But wouldn't you say racism against black people has diminished a lot in this country. I don't think being black is a huge disadvantage anymore. In 2012 if a person doesn't have a good job and makes under 50k a year that is largely due to circumstances other than race imo. I think being poor is a much greater disadvantage than being black. In the modern corporate world most offices dislike being 100% white male and will go to some effort to try to find qualified minority employees and females, if for no other reason than to be PC.

If I was give the choice of being born in a poor family of any race, or a rich black family I would choose being born in the rich black family any day of the week. Being poor imo is a great disadvantage than being in a minority group.

A white child in a trailer park in the south has much less chance of being successful than a black child born to middle class parents.

No, black on white racism s not as prevalent. Blacks do not wield the power that white people do. NOt saying that if blacks weren't the majority in the US that we would behave any better but it is what it is.

When Bush got elected the second time black people were not out threatening to kill him or making racial epithets towards the POTUS. Most black people are too scared of the gov't to get down like that.

Voting for Obama because he is black is IGNORANT, not necessarily RACIST.

1. I do agree that race is not as big of a factor as it used to be. Even in a white bread state like Utah people are much more understanding and kind than they are given credit for. (I'm speaking on Mormons here specifically).

2. It's not about being rich or poor, it's mostly who you know, the circles you're plugged into. The advantages that white gleaned while non-whites could not compete with them are immeasurable. There is no way we are going back in time and giving back prime land, docs, and tourist attractions to the people that deserve them....there is no way that families that were swindled out of generations of natural resources and m anual labor are getting that back.

3. As a group blacks in America depend on white people, not the other way around, it is what it is....which is why black being racist doesn't matter on a grand scale. Of course on a personal level there are racists in every group. The only thing is blacks, especially older blacks, can point to why they fear and hate whites. (even though hatred is not a healthy way to deal with the issues)

4. would you rahter be poor and white with blond hair and blue eyes in America or be a black man? Which life would you think, all things being equal, would be more difficult?

What is reverse racism?

Black on white racism is not as common as white-on-black racism from what I've seen, and tat's all Go Getter is saying.

Racism is the belief that your race is inherently and genetically superior to another race.

Reverse racism is the belief by a minority (black, asian, hispanic, etc) that their race is inherently and genetically superior to whites. (in terms of academics, intelligence, athleticism, social skills, family unity, creativeness, kindness, etc).

If someone believes their race is inherently and genetically superior to another race, in whatever category they are racists imo.

1. I agree, most mormons are nice people, few kind of bad for them how everyone rags on them.

2. Being poor is what limits your social networking the most. Anyone that went to private school will tell you the connections made are the greatest advantage. Most jobs aren't ever advertised. Bosses ask employees to make recommendations. I got my start in the auditing profession because of family, and chose to pursue my CPA designation because I knew i was well connected in the industry. Poor kids in a trail park dont have any of these advantages. Rich black kids probably do.

3. I think this problem will evaporate over time.

4. honestly I would rather be a black middle class person than a poor white person. To be fair I am white and come from a fairly privileged background so maybe im ignorant of how hard it is for black people.

Just in my social circles and the corporate environments I have been in, I haven't heard open disdain for minorities and frequently hear people comment on the poor with if not outright hostility at least disdain. You should hear what people say about white trash and people living in trailer parks openly. Even during corporate meetings, it is completely socially acceptable to mock the poor.

White folk have this superiority complex that they are not necessarily taught with but raised up watching and experiencing as they get older.. I don't see this changing in the near future but I do see it slowly getting better eventually.. the only thing that white men have is their women.. I hate to admit it but DAYUM!

I appreciate you sharing your perspective, its always enlightening to me to learn about points of view different from my own.

I just feel that my life wouldn't really be different if I wasn't white all other things held the same, but I do feel my life would have been different had I been born in a poor family, and had to go to bad public schools.

Hopefully someday, everyone feels that they have an equal chance of success, regardless of ethnicity, religion, orientation, gender or economic class. my general point is America is moving in the right direction in this regard. Years ago no matter how talent you were if you weren't white you could almost never be rich. A lot has changed, I now firmly believe economic class limits people more than any other factor.

I have had bosses ask me to recommend a candidate for a position and strongly hinted that they desired a qualified minority candidate, because it looks bad to have your office be too white nowadays. Especially if you're in a diverse area. Similar requests for female candidates also happen. I am not saying this proves that there is no racism, only that it shows that public opinion has shifted and it is now impossible to have all white males in a corporate environment and not look bad.

Romney's binder full of women was a similar phenomena. I understand he was just trying to look good, but the fact that he had to hire women to look good proves a positive change in America. And no matter how you get into a position if you aren't good enough you will be removed, and if you are good enough you will keep your job. It's a way into the door.

EDIT: no one has ever asked me to recommend a candidate from a poor economic background.

Honestly, unless your cops, or election monitors approved by both parties you really shouldn't stand around places of elections. This goes for white militia groups or the black panthers.

I don't know if they intimidated anyone, but the possibility that someone might be intimidated out of vote offends me to the core. A bunch of big guys of one race standing outside of a voting station, in the same uniforms acting as "guards" is wrong. Besides to the best of my knowledge election monitors have to be approved by both the state democratic party and the state republican party.

EDIT: the point im trying to make is its hard to prove the intention of a group of men standing outside of a polling station, thus it should be prohibited, because of the chance of infringing on the right to vote of citizens.

Two wrongs don't make a right, the fact that racist white groups do this should be condemned along with what the black panthers are doing.

[MavsSuperFan]

When the black panthers start hanging white people, burning crosses in yards, and using their police connections to ruin the lives of innocent white people then we can make comparisons.

Black on white violence motivated by racism isn't non-existent.

I understand that black on black violence is much more prevalent just saying it isn't non-existent. The rapes (including the guy), torture, mutilation (I believe the castrated they guy while alive), and murders of the young white couple in Tennessee in 2007 were at least partially racially motivated. That level of violence on two people that you didn't even know suggests to me that the attackers were racially motivated.

I understand these criminals aren't the majority of black people, I just want to point out that white militias and the KKK don't represent the majority of white people in 2012. Those white supremacist that dragged that black guy (his surname was bird i believe) behind their truck in Texas offended me just as much as the murder of the white couple in Tennessee. Nobody should have violence committed against them because of their race.

I guess my point is groups like the KKK and the Black Panthers are both unproductive and even counter productive and lead to animosity and IMO both groups should be discouraged (obviously the first amendment protects them so you can't ban them, but they should be denounced).

[MavsSuperFan]

Just the fact that the Black panthers( and other such Black empowerment groups) were forced underground while the KKK were/are allowed to practice their philosophies in the open proves how screwed up the world is.

I'm uneducated on this topic. How has the black panthers been forced underground to a greater extent than white supremacist groups.

Wouldn't the first amendment protect both of their rights to gather in public and say offensive things?

If you mean socially forced underground, by political correctness (i consider being PC a positive overall) and social pressure, then I understand what you mean about the black panthers being marginalized. I just argue that white supremacist groups are also socially stigmatized and marginalized in 2012.

right... there is no comparison..

I think new black panthers have a contract with Fox or something because Fox has helped these dudes get nationwide exposure.

nobody had heard of these guys until Fox became infatuated with them.

I live in Philly and have never heard of these clowns :oldlol:

The real Black Panthers had never heard of them either.

These dudes are powerless. The only power they have is given to them by Fox news.. power to scare ignorant white viewers.

Fox should be ashamed of themselves. They have ripped off their public with fear mongering and lies... People who watch Fox are shocked Obama won.. They never saw it coming.. They were certain (thanks to karl rove and them) that Romney had this in the bag......

We gonna act like you people wouldn't be losing your shit if the KKK showed up at a voting center?

Exactly. No one gives a shit about what the Black Panthers do, but care so much more about the KKK

[Math2]

And the GOP only believes there is only reverse racism.

Look we all know there are still bigots out there.
And we know where most of them are....those red states.

Why is it not racist to give benefits to everyone except whites?

Fox is the biased one? Go back to your MSNBC and actually watch it and see what they are saying. They are so obviously covering for Obama. Libya gets government fed coverage, etc. No one dares to make fun of him like they would on previous presidents (like on SNL and the like shows) just because they would be considered racist.

you sound butthurt as usual.lol


secondly....YES Fox is the biased one.... Did I stutter?

Everybody in the GOP is soo shell-shocked because they bought into their own lies and delusion..

They started to actually believe that they had this thing in the bag... Mofos was talking about a landslide :oldlol:

they got a landslide alright :applause:

now their viewers are depressed, and in denial..

Fox and the romney campaign laughed at the polls and the trends that were being reported. They decided to only respect the polls that favored their point of view... BAD IDEA...

Romney never considered the fact that he could lose... Yet he did lose.. BIG..

You know why? Because his team was too arrogant to examine ALL the data.

Fox viewers are dumber than people that watch no TV at all, and its easy to see why. :hammerhead: Godddddddddaammmmmmmnn

If you hate MSNBC? Cool with me... I dont know why I would care about that..

But at least MSNBC stays in reality.... Fox is on some fantasy BS, and this time they really did their viewers a disservice.

In the interest of fairness, Sheed, the Black Panthers have their own history of violence. Huey Newton proudly admitted to murder of a police officer. Angela Davis owned the guns that resulted in a courtroom takeover, hostage situation and murder. Bobby Hutton (? not sure about the name) and Eldridge Cleaver set up an ambush of Oakland police. Most historians trace the evolution of the gun violence by young black men in Oakland to the influence of the Panthers.

I'm not taking sides. I find nothing more abhorrent than the KKK. But if there's going to be a debate on the topic, facts have to be presented about both parties.

I believe racially based militia groups probably should be marginalized

maybe point me to articles that paint them in a better light?

The Ten Point Program (original Black Panthers)
Points 2 and 8 are crazy.


2. We want full employment for our people.

We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.


8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.

We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.

Although the new black panthers might not have scared anyone into not voting, I don't think anyone not approved by both the state's democratic and republican parties should act as election observers.


On January 7, 2009, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a civil suit against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members alleging violations of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 over the incident at the Philadelphia polling place. The suit accused members King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson of being outside a polling location wearing the uniform of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, and said "that Shabazz repeatedly brandished a police-style baton weapon

Thats not ok imo, I am a liberal and would object to conservative groups doint something similar.

Also dont like vigilantism

[gigantes]

main thing i'm concerned about at this point is that some of these redneck racists and bigots get serious about an assassination attempt or something along those lines. after all, if you manage to successfully bomb the president and the veep, john boehner suddenly becomes president. does that sound like a good idea to anyone?

when obama got elected the first time i read that he immediately started receiving around 4x the 'normal' amount of presidential death threats... and this was during a time when the secret service had suffered personnel cuts and was stretched pretty thin. not sure what the situation is these days, but i certainly hope those guys are ready.

offhand i seem to remember about six public cases of would-be assassins getting nabbed between 2008 - 2012. who knows if the private numbers were higher?

so... reasons for me to be a little nervous with all this mindless hate flowing around.

I totally agree.... I wouldnt say black panthers are angels, or they have no history at all. But when we put them up against the clan? :oldlol: You study world history of terrorist groups and the clan is profiled along with other historic terrorist organizations....

Black panthers are more of a militant 70s black power organization...If you study the 60s & 70s, this was the standard for leftist activism/terrorism.

If you study the clan? they have a history of lynchings... not just lynchings but lynching parties where they would have cut the genitals off the victim, and cut pieces of his body for the kids and families who attened the party to take with them....

that sh*t was on a whole different level... and its documented


and if we are talking about this "new black panther" group?

they havent done anything worth mentioning..especially not on a level that would warrant intense coverage like hannity is giving them...

one of them was ranting and raving at a black polling station (where nobody would be voting for McCain anyway) and this year i hear the guy shown in the Fox video is an official poll worker..

these guys are more valuable for their boogeyman factor than anything else.

& I would suppose that they love it


doesnt mean they are a legit terrorist organization on the level of the clan..

I still think it's disingenuous and callous to just shrug your shoulders and say "oh yeah they weren't the greatest guys BUT (insert list of excuses/rationale for them)." I'm not going to compare them to the Klan but you're clearly ignoring the gravity of that organization, what it was about, and what they did.

The purpose of asking you to read up on them is not to inspire sympathy to their cause. It was for you to ask yourself why the Panthers were basically condemned as threats to national security, while the KKK weren't considered threats for their own actions against minorities and allowed to march out in the open, unopposed by the same law enforcement agencies that branded the Panthers as outlaws.

The difference between the two groups is that the KKK are a white supremist group known historically for race hate crimes. The Panthers, regardless of whether you support their cause or agree with their methodology, were formed as a response to those hate crimes and for the progression of blacks and minorities in a segregated society where they were deemed inferior and treated as subhuman in many cases. Law enforcement officers were killed expressly because as far as the Panthers were concerned, they were part of the oppressive system and used their police powers to violate the rights of minorities.

Now saying that, some of their ideals were wayyyyy off the beaten path like the demands you highlighted. I'm not saying they were justified in their methods, but historically true social revolution often came from militant action. I'd tend to go more with Martin Luther Kings approach, as his philosophy was not only about the advancement of minorities but all in all a society of equal opportunity where color had no significance.

Another thing about the panthers that is important is the fact that their hardline militant stance came when they began promoting that black folks know their rights (mostly gun rights, and their rights when it comes to interaction with the police).. This is where you start seeing cops going down when dealing with them..

Panthers were like today's americans who tote guns like its going out of style.. It would be like the tea party, but young black men instead.

Black Panthers != New Black Panthers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Black_Panther_Party


The New Black Panther Party (NBPP), whose formal name is the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, is a U.S.-based black political organization founded in Dallas, Texas in 1989. Despite its name, NBPP is not an official successor to the Black Panther Party.[1] Members of the original Black Panther Party have insisted that the newer party is illegitimate and have firmly declared that "there is no new Black Panther Party".[1]


As guardian of the true history of the Black Panther Party, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which includes former leading members of the Party, denounces this group's exploitation of the Party's name and history. Failing to find its own legitimacy in the black community, this band would graft the Party's name upon itself, which we condemn... [T]hey denigrate the Party's name by promoting concepts absolutely counter to the revolutionary principles on which the Party was founded... The Black Panthers were never a group of angry young militants full of fury toward the "white establishment." The Party operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people.[42]

I actually found quite a bit of racism with Obama's supporters as well. I even saw a few saying if Romney was elected, they were going to go out and murder the first white person they see. So no side is really innocent.

I don't support Obama or Romney, but all this was completely messed up.

As far as the KKK/Black Panther stuff goes, in all honesty, for all the shit white people have done to black people throughout the history of this country I can't even get mad if some black dudes felt resentment and wanted to harm white people.
