Helllllllllllllllloooooooooooooo sarcasm.

Your original comment makes more sense when read without the sarcasm.

What, since I live in NC I must be racist?

Or are you implying that NC is an extremely racist state?

Get a grip. NC is quickly becoming (and has been) one of the most progressive states south of the mason-dixon line.

Now if you have lived here in NC for a while, then feel free to give me your story. I'd like to hear it...otherwise, don't bash my state.

Well, since you brought it on with the mason-dixon line comment...being the most progressive state south of the mason-dixon line is like winning the special olympics...

No, I have not lived in NC. However, I'm still surprised at just how racist much of the South still is. People enjoy patting themselves on the back at the progress of the last 40 years, but there's still a LONG way to go.

And if that's not bad enough, the opposite is true in much of the country as well. Reverse racism is getting ridiculous in areas such as college admissions and in the workplace.

Finding an appropriate compromise shouldn't be as difficult as American society has made it.

America still has a LONG way to go before it comes close to competing with much of the DEVELOPED world regarding racism.

Is this the best you can come up with? You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. NC is far different from the deep south.

"No, I have not lived in NC. However, I'm still surprised at just how racist much of the South still is. People enjoy patting themselves on the back at the progress of the last 40 years, but there's still a LONG way to go. "

I love that last comment as well. Everyone seems to think that America is so far behind when it comes to racism. If anything we are ahead. Eitherway, racism exists EVERYWHERE. No one area is free from it. It will likely never dissapear and it is something that we have to live with.

I guess the public school system has done a number on you. Too bad.

I love how you managed to somehow work the phrase "south of the mason-dixon line" into a post about being not racist.

Just thought I'd add that the original purpose of the Mason-Dixon line had nothing to do with slavery.

"The Mason?Dixon line was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 in the resolution of a border dispute in colonial North America. Maryland and Pennsylvania both claimed the land between the 39th and 40th parallels according to the charters granted to each colony. In the meantime, 'Three Lower Counties' along Delaware Bay moved into the Penn sphere of settlement, and later became the Delaware Colony, a satellite of Pennsylvania."

You are just as bad as he is......

How is it different? What do you consider the deep south?

I've lived all over the south including NC and I don't really see a difference. I also find the Northeast and Midwest to be far more racist.....

Certainly not NC.

I was not aware that the rest of the south was currently being flooded by westerners and northerners. Maybe it is, I just had no idea.

IMO, it is becoming much more liberal than it used to be..and more liberal than the rest of the south.

Its a fact the public school system is a joke, and I assumed you were a product of it. Sorry if I did so incorrectly.

Moving on...do you have something else to add? Anything worthwhile? (other than "Says the man who lives in North Carolina." when you haven't even lived here nor have you given any examples of why you think NC is so racist (or moreso than the rest of the US).

 

[Pocatello]

I don't know why there are neo Nazis in Russia. If I remember correctly, the Nazis weren't too kind to the Slavic population. In fact, Hitler wanted to enslave or destroy the Slavs and turn Russia into a huge wheat field for the new Germanic empire.

Well I hate to tell you this but most people consider NC deep south.

What do you feel the influx of people from the rust belt has to do with racism.

Why do you equate liberalism with not being racist?

The south has "more" racism (both ways) for one reason..........because we have more people of color. It isn't some southern tradition to be racist.....as Ronstang said it is developed more through individual experience. It will always exist and obviously more so in places where interaction is more likely.

You are correct about my public high school education. However, the public high school I went to is no doubt leaps and bounds superior to whatever over-priced private school you went to, not to mention that it most likely got me into a much better college.

Public school quality is incredibly regional. I was lucky to attend one that, given its location in an wealthy suburb, is superior to most others, public and private.

This is all very off topic, so I digress. However, to tie it to the prior conversation...Stereotyping public schools across the board shows incredibly prejudice, similar to the prejudice your state is known for with regard to racism.

And again, no, I have not lived in NC, but I've seen enough of the South stick by my statement.

Your original comment dealt with comparing racism in the US and Europe. In this case, I have lived in both locations (lived, not just traveled), and can most definitely state that your comment insinuating racism is less prevalent in the US is an absolute joke.

wouldn't you think racism would happen more often with less interaction...less understanding of the "other group"?

If we were forced to live with each other, I'm sure we would find similarties and have better understanding of each other. We would try to find ties with one-another instead of finding as all differences.

It has nothing to do with me being racist or not.

If what you said were true the 'south' should be a racial utopia. Just because you think that is the way it should go down doesn't make it a reality.

It should be...but it's because they're racists down there...both whites and blacks.

 

[CanOWorms]

There is also a wave of racist violence in Germany going on right now. People have said that minorities will not be safe during the World Cup.

Racism is popular in Europe nowadays. Supremacist far-right parties are growing in strength or mainstream parties are adopting radical far-right ideals. Denmark has a far-right supremaicst party in its government. Switzerland's largest political party rode off in elections with slogans such as "The Swiss are becoming Negroes." Racist political parties have large support in UK, France, etc. in recent polls. The growth of racist political parties in Europe is very disturbing, especially given Europe's history.

lol

cause there is no racism in Albany.......:laugh: :roll: I'd be willing to bet that there is just as much racism/ as many racist in Albany as a city of similar demographics in the south.

It looks like there is just as much/ even more segregation of the races.

You're right- we should all bow down to your infinite wisdom...........

Can anyone point out a country founded on racial diversity that has succeeded throughout history? Please remember the USA was not- it is more diverse today than ever before and based on people's responses from this forum it looks like it will only go downhill from here (not referring to this topic specifically but this forum meaning ATOT in general).............Truth is- as others have mentioned- racial diversity will never work as it's against human nature......does anyone think people being Greedy will ever change? why would accepting diversity be any different........if you think there is racial equality in the US or any other country on this planet you are mistaken.............

My comment has nothing to do with being a biggot or a racist- only common sense and stating the truth..........

Unfortunately, I have no doubt us humans will ultimately destroy ourselves........

Fair enough, I'm obviously not going agree here, but I see your point.

I see some isolated incidents in Europe, but the consistency and culture of racism is not at the level in Europe as it is in the US. In addition, I find America's obsession with reverse racism to be much more damaging to innovation and cultural advancement than anything else.

I see some isolated incidents in Europe, but the consistency and culture of racism is not at the level in Europe as it is in the US. In addition, I find America's obsession with reverse racism to be much more damaging to innovation and cultural advancement than anything else.

Let me guess- you've benefitted from affirmative action or other similiar bs in the past..................racism goes both ways...............

Either I'm not picking up on your sarcasm or you misread my post. I believe reverse racism (i.e. AA) is a detriment to society.

If anything AA has harmed me. As an anecdotal example, I have a friend who just went through the law school admissions process with a LSAT/GPA combo that would have guaranteed him at least 1 top 5 school if he was black or hispanic. Instead he's going to a school outside of the top 20. That's hardly American meritocracy.

My point is that in America we take both issues to the extreme, racism and reverse racism such as AA. I find both equally repulsive.

In this case, I have lived in both locations (lived, not just traveled), and can most definitely state that your comment insinuating racism is less prevalent in the US is an absolute joke.

Sorry, I read it wrong........I guess I'm obsessed with thoughts against AA and reverse-racism so I figured you were referring to people like myself .........Since you were referring to those who encourage reverse racism have a :beer:
