mel25 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Only majorities can be racist.~Bang i heard that somewhere. is that some philosophical stuff, or do they that mean by definition people misuse the word? for example, by definition ignorant means not knowing, so since nobody knows everything, everybody is ignorant to a degree.

Bang Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 i heard that somewhere. is that some philosophical stuff, or do they that mean by definition people misuse the word? for example, by definition ignorant means not knowing, so since nobody knows everything, everybody is ignorant to a degree. Based on what I've read, some believe that only majorities can be racist because they hold power. Folks I've argued with over this tell me this is what they were taught in college. Somehow people who don't hold power cannot hate another race for the color of their skin, or think their race is superior for the same reason. Ive argued with a number of people on this board over this perception, and frankly, I don't see what one has to do with the other regardless of all the jargon that the defenders of this idea spit out. I could point you all to a few chatrooms in which you'd be appalled at the racism and hate being spewed. Violence advocated, anger to the extreme, and if you'd care to go in, I'd recommend you make a username that can't be construed as being "white', or they'll toss you right out. Racism definitely exists, and it exists among every race there is. Those who believe it does not, or that it can be classified as something else due to minority or majority status are seriously deluded, and enabling the racists. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I hate the phrase "Square Peg in a Round Hole" after this past week with all the talk of switching to the 3-4 I came to absolutely deplore that term. Another one that I've learned to hate, from seeing a multitude of ES'ers use is: "They pockets straight", it rubs me the wrong way every time I read it.

I was open minded to the possibility that I misunderstood the definition or racism. And if some one could have showed me that by the true definition, or the origin of the word or something stated that the majority mattered then cool. But it sounds like some new (or maybe just new to me) theory/opinion gaining popularity. My apologies for the little sidebar people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 About Playoff birth I apologize I misunderstood the question. It's a common internet mistype thrown around One thing I can't stand being SAID though is the odd play-by-play phrase of Rich Waltz of Marlins TV. "AND HIS NAME IS DAN UGGLAAAA" every time he hits a home run. WTF that mean? We know his name is Dan Uggla. Don't state the obvious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmonkforHOF Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 "guns don't kill people, people kill people." well true, but if they didn't have guns then killing would require more effort that squeezing your trigger finger. That might result in people actually thinking before they decide to fight or kill somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 binge drinking. I seriously hate that term. It implies that drinking with the goal to get drunk is some new thing or problem. Folks it's no secret that alcohol is consumed in large part because it is a drug and because it gives you a buzz. There is no demand for non-alcoholic wine or vodka.
