If you look at my highschool class picture with everybody in it,asians, whites, blacks, hispanics, arabs, Indians, etc, you'll just see a  sea of brown.(not brown as in "black") So really, we'll all the same color, just different shades.Plus we'll all HUMAN. So this whole "racist" thing is stupid since we're technically the same race.

[Craigbe]

@MuffinGirl94 - Same species, not the same race. And do you really believe we're all brown..?

Speak for yourself..!

I'm not sure the word association technique is "tricking" the students. The angry reaction by the teachers perhaps was unnecessary. But the concept of deep-seated, prejudicial associations is important to root out. Was this the best way to do it- probably not.

[Craigbe]

@jagrmeister721 Sorry but you're way off.

Public schools were never designed to "root out deep-rooted prejudicial associations" whatever the hell that means...

NIGGER would have been a great one... i saw this little game in MALCOLM X...

its appropriate... blacks have the highest crime rates, even white collar crime rates are higher among blacks... they have the highest disease rates (behavioral and genetic)... smallest brains, lowest IQ and all in a package of highest self esteem of the three main races and the lowest suicide rates... reminds me of the dumbest having the most babies, like the first part of the movie IDIOCRACY showing this trend...

[Craigbe]

You didn't get my point.

There is no such thing as "racism." It's a fake word, and concept....! Ask yourself, What is "reverse-racism", and you'll quickly grasp what the construct REALLY means....It means whites treating non-whites poorly.

Blacks rape or sexually white women 100 times each day in America - (US Justice Dept. 2005). But I'm NOT supposed to see THAT as hatred! NO! Hatred is thinking bad thoughts! Not the daily rapes and murders of whites done by blacks!

Wake-up!

@Craigbe Wow, I guess somehow whites raping other whites is somehow less of a crime. You're fucking ridiculous.

[shaddowmoses91]

@MrTorchya21 Thats just ANOTHER FALSE steretype you have about white people. White women are weak? hahaha...Do I really need to list examples? White men raped black women during slavery as a sign of dominance and power; just like MOST rapes. Do blacks really think that badly of whites? There is so much resentment in the black community towards whites its INSANE> If I was a white woman right now, I would have a permit to carry. Which I do anyway!

[shaddowmoses91]

@LotrFanboy5 Well Put. You always hear people "come back" with "my slave ancestors were raped by white men"! Very true, but how is that still relevant? By arguing that your implying that two wrongs ALWAYS make a right. Especially when they are white. White men raped black slaves as a sign of power and dominance, like all rapes. What does this stat show about black on white resentment? ALOT...Think about it....

[LotrFanboy5]

@MrTorchya21

The "why" isn't nearly as important as many make it out to be. We can theorize all day about "why" black-on-white rapes are so prevalent 100 per day in U.S.), particular when compared to white-on-black rapes (virtually non-existent, statistical speaking). The important thing is that these rapes are happening. But instead of warning white women about these dangers, we hide them, because it would be "racist" to shine a negative light on black behavior.

[MrTorchya21]

@Craigbe So when a black man rapes a black woman is that hate of the skin or the gender? So what about when a black man rapes a black man? To classify one raping or sexually abusing another as hate toward their skin it has to be able to encompass all situations. Maybe one reason black men rap white women is because they are seen as meek, non-fighters. Because of the belief amongst blacks that the white man beats and rapes them daily as a form of control and she accepts it. So he thinks I can 2

@Craigbe

Word games and buzzwords, that's why liberals are winning, Craig.

The average American doesn't wanna hear the truth no matter how grossly obvious it is, just what sounds pleasing to the ear.

[unfad1ng]

how can they be a social construct ?

why does black people have black skin... because they belong to the african race and its in their genes to have dark skin
