IMI, perhaps the offense here with EVERYONE, not just one race, was that you were defending someone "with the race card" that clearly offended others with her "kelly bundy" statements. Why defend ignorance with something that should be used when it is absolutely necessary?
Respectfully speaking, no one should be stereotyped; but as I have stated before she made it easy. Even for me!
Perhaps she came on these boards to do just what she did! Start sh*t! Let it go IMI, go vote! That will make a difference!!!
Didn't you say "nigga please" on page 3 of this thread? Actually you should call the whole HIP HOP generation; Classless, ignorant, and racist. If you find the word "nigga" offensive....
What does the hip hop generation have to do with moon saying "nigga"? Its not flygirls fault that she said that, its not my fault or the hip hop generations fault. Moon should be held accountable for her words and actions.
Food for thought: If someone is aggravating you and you lash out at that person in a racist way, that makes you look just as ignorant as the person you are talking to. No one makes you do anything. There is always a choice within yourself. You have to make the final decision as to how you respond to ignorance.
Accountability, people, learn it.
Lol@ go vote. Does anyone have anything to say to moon? That's the amazing part about this whole discussion. Again, accountability, people, learn it. Class, people, get some.
And on that note, I've spoken my piece. This is getting remedial at this point. I'm done here.
Ms. P. : I know that Flyg. is not considered a racist in regard to her statements of the different signs...but the point was that IMI was saying that I was a racist when I was making comments in regard to her ignorant Black A** and Imi was stating that I was a racist on statements alone. I was making a point and Imi. missed the mark terribly and remains in the dark. A very basic thinker is what I suspect.
I do not need to look up the definition and I know that I am far from being racist or prejudiced- you really have to have 1/2 a brain to figure out my numerous posts in regard to the point I was trying to make. Or Imi. is very young.
the point I was making and apparently it hit nerves was that if Flyg. was going to make ignorant statements about individual people based on their sun signs it IS the same thing as a white chick (no i never said I was white, I made a statement that the MOVIE "White Chicks" was all about 2 black guys (comedians) dressing up as, and stereotyping white people and no one sits there and throws a tantrum- they laugh)...it is a similar concept as me making comments about her ethnicity. In a lite hearted manner...which IMI took to a whole new level. why? (small minded...one way thinker...ooohhh. I said govt. Cheese..."oh no she didnt" !!
Imi. and her little tantrum on and on and on tantrum is really a superficial thinker and cannot seem to grasp the point i was trying to make. Repeatedly she wants to say i am racist (i'm not) and/or prejudiced (neither) based upon ignorant statements that I made toward an ignorant poster that continually started crap with everyone.
Nigga's please. Imi thought that by saying ohhh- pointing finger- and calling me a racist was supposed to shame me in some way or whatever...nah, if the shoe fit the little ignorant Flyg. than oh well. maybe next time she will think twice (maybe realizing what it is like to come from a minority background, or what was considered one...and keep her mouth shut when it comes to ranting about a persons SUN SIGN which some people take seriously in regard to the general make up of a person...)
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this I said heaven ain't close in a place like this Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight
Well somebody told me You had a boyfriend Who looks like a girlfriend That I had in February of last year It's not confidential I've got potential
IMI - when will you get the piont that just because notsoflygirl is black DOESN'T mean the comments are racist?? YOU are the one who associates negativity with black people... a
and ms pisces, just because you call someone ignorant doesn't make you refined or the authority on ignorance.... YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
oh and contrary to your unfounded moronic belief, the fact that you are half and half does NOT automatically mean you are not biased...you very clearly.
I'm not offended that a black person [or anyone else] says something was racist -IF IT ACTUALLY OS - I'm offended that EVERYTHING is racist to SOME black people...hence my comment about calling me a bitch - it is ENTIRELY relevant, and a perfect parallel.
oha nad one more thing - you want to accuse me of only posting about racism? Bitch - go check my history and read my THOUSANDS of comments.....get it straight before you run your dumb mouth.
I call you a bitch because it's what you are - not because I can't think of anything better.
And I did not say IMI said EVERYTHING....you made a comment about me being offended if black people talk about racism.
The simple fact is YES racism happens to EVERYONE and it IS just as bad for white people these days. I don't consider EVERYTHING racism, but I don't expect to have things that ARE racism swept under the rug.
THIS is not about racism, because as many of us have pointed out moonmadness could have said the exact same things about people of OTHER races. AND I did not attack this little girl for ANYTHING let alone her comments about star signs. Like I said, know what you're talking about before you run you dumb mouth.......
For some reason you want to pin EVERY negative thing that gets said on ME whether it's in THIS thread or any other. I don't have deep seeded issues with black people, but you seem to have some deep seeded issue with ME whther it's because I'm white or for some other reason.
The only thing I have an issue with is black people using their race as an excuse to get anything they want - and I did NOT say that was all black people - I'm only refering to the ones who DO and YES there are plenty of them.
nice way to pick and choose what you pull from my comments....
yuou are UNBELIEVABLE and proving how truly biased you are.
I don't see YOU or anyone else chastising flygirl for HER racist comments towards me... thanks for proving my point....apparently it's okay for her to make racist comments towards a white person......
u seem to be the one with the issues ms.P....thats all your whole defense or problems is that we just dont *sniff,sniff* understand what black folk has to go through and how hard it is......grow up, lifes tough no matter what color u are. but to u life as a white person is so easy so we should be concerned with your issues since we have none of our own to deal with.
I really didn't find flygirl's post to insulting. I agree with anyone who said she could have been talking about any low class person. The only people who would be insulted by her comments would be a person who truly, deep down inside had low self esteem. A
Any woman (any color) babies daddy could drink 40 ounces and anyone could wear weave, it is just how you project the situation. I am black and it didn't offend me, I thought it was funny.
no...thats the attitude u take.....defender of the black struggle. thats what that whole other thread was about to. u need to get in touch with your inner issues.......
your self importance is clouding your vision and trust me....u have no idea of the deep seeded issues i have inside me, racism isnt one of them 😉
""If Obama gets in, just watch this country deteriorate due to the ignorance of both blacks & whites who refuse to put century old history where it belongs.....IN THE PAST......""
This reminds me of a snippet taken from a discussion in one of my high school philosophy classes.
caucasian girl: "black ppl need to get over it."
african-american boy: "how can you tell someone to get over something, when you remind them of it every day?"
what comfort zone...what box?? u guys make this sheeite up or what? u never think your the idiot right....your on the side of the rightous right?? grow up and take that chip off your shoulder.
And did you know that quotas, despite being illegal, still exist?
One of my best friends, who is a white man (in case anyone was wondering, lol) has studied race relations and the social infrastructure of America inside and out. He believes that many white ppl (as a whole, not individually) fear an overturning of the status quo. He feels that this is why segregration, for the most part, is still heavily enforced. For fear of retribution...
well as soon as the lightning strikes the clock tower and i can get the deloren up to 88 miles an hour i will go back in time and stop not just slavery but every single instance of wrong doing anyone has ever done to anyone in the whole existance of man.
what does income have to do with it?? i make more than most people with a masters degree.
u do have a victim mentality. i wont agree with u just as u wont agree with me because we both feel just as passionate about our respective opinions so this will be like a pointless arguement till the end of time........
Honestly, I think it would really be beneficial if there was more of an open dialogue. We act like it is taboo to discuss race.
Explore your feelings. Say what your initial reaction to a person is, and whatever expectations you may have had of that person or group. If we do this more with ppl who are different from us, we might come to realize that we are more alike than we think. We are so afraid that maybe we might discover that we aren't what we thought we were. But it's okay, b/c what if you learned that you're MORE than that? That your potential is greater?
There's no need for a gathering to sing Kumbaya....especially when the comradery is insincere. Just real, straight-talk, is all.
yes.....im so scared of black people. retribution......ohhh yeah thats what im afraid of.
My ancestors where in italy f-ing picking olives when slavery was going on........why dont u dig up some old slave owners and dance around thier skeletons if u want retribution, dont come stepping to me with that shit.
I didn't even know that Italians were considered white. The ones I know usually just refer to themselves as purely Italian, or Meditteranean, unless compelled to identify themselves by color.
When they first came over here, they were treated just as the blacks were- like scum of the earth.
They tend to be dark, as well. Weren't they conquered by the North African Moors? Many believe the dark skin of many Italians is attributed to this mixing.
u guys love that word ignorant dont ya. u have seen nothing but your own nose and point of view ms. pisces....your so full of crap. you dont care about anyone elses opinion unless it aligns with your own agenda.
thaty would be sicilians my dear.....sicily is an island at the southern tip of italy across the water from africa. no italians arent like english white people but that doesnt make any difference to ms. pisces how anyone else was treated....she is only concerned with the black struggle.
i think despite astro signs, or so-called spirituality, most folks just simply cannot accept, or have no willingness to acknowledge something that doesn't directly relate to them. why should they? it doesn't affect them! they aren't the ones who have to deal with it!
it takes a special person to be open and honest enough to do this. to reach beyond themselves, and see that there's more than just "ME ME ME".
Didn't you say "nigga please" on page 3 of this thread?
Classless, ignorant, and racist is what you are.
