Having a parade dedicated to a certain race is retarded. You might as well have a "We Were Born With a Birthmark On Our Right Hip" parade. Coming out of someone's twat is not an accomplishment. No matter what race it belonged to. Enough with the racial pride, already.

@IncredibleStan

yea.. i know what you mean i only started focusing on my background.. AFTER i moved to the states.. before i didn't know what racism was it was just a word.. but here it is very different.. i mean i guess it is.. from the news and stuff..

also it is strange because west indian people mostly.. say where they are from and identify with a territory than to say what race they are.. so

its very strange in all i think here in the STATES focuses WAY more on it.

@blackkakari It's a celebration of our cultural diversity in America...which IS an accomplishment. What's wrong with that?!

[TheChainsOFMisery]

if they were talking about those pieces of shit almost fuckin each other while dancing in the middle of the street then i agree...those are filthy animals.garbage without any pride or modesty.a truly disgusting spectacle(race has nothing to do with it)

and im not some damaged,repressed idiot who hates sex like some republicans do...im all for freedom of expression...but that was just distasteful...fuckin' animals.if thats their "culture"(which it isnt) they dont get to have a parade

[coltsrule5150]

who the fuck still calls other's "savages"

the only time i can remember someone caling others savages are in movies and shit

[InTheHouse1000]

@blackkakari I don't think they're saying we're awesome cause of our race they just want to celebrate the culture.

Nigger parade. Thank god its in brooklyn where nobody cares.

There was an awful smell at that parade. Its a cops nightmare, at least for white cops.

You could say let them kill each other without being racist. But in the context of those comments, just racist.

I know that guy on this show would agree with the unscheduling of the parade. He dislikes parades. 

[TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

@RepublicAgent So if I'm white and I call a white person an "animal" I'm racist? Parade went on because it was scheduled to? Ok, well maybe they should unschedule it. I'm not prejudice. The West Indians at this parade are stabbing other West Indians. If I were a racist, I would say "let them kill each other."

@TheGodYouWishYouKnew

Firstly, calling people filth, animals, and savages is racist, no rationalizing that bull.

Blanket statements, eh? They talk about racist cops, but that doesn't lead me to think that's a blanket statement about the NYPD or cops in generals. They mention the racist tendencies of cops across the US, but I don't make the connection with that meaning all cops are racist pigs. You seem to think so, but whatever.

Parade went on b/c its scheduled to. Your prejudices get 2 you

[TheGodYouWishYouKnew]

@RepublicAgent so it's ok to make blanket statements about NYPD being racist but not about the violent revelers at the W.I. Parade.
