Well, I go by the saying...if you don't want people being racist to you then don't be racist to them.  |

What is your point in all this? Racism isn't okay period. You take a few posts by some people on Facebook then all of a discussion on "anti-white" is somehow national. You have had systems placed for centuries that have abused minorities for centuries. The day you find people of color doing the same with whites across the world then we can talk about double standards, until then, these "anti-white" rants are just the ramblings of misguided individuals.

Racism is behavioral and learned, it is not like a curse word that you use when you're mad at someone. If you have to be racist towards someone you've learned it and have adopted it in your own life. You don't always have to respond to people in like manner. If you have to return the favor and be racist back towards someone then perhaps you are a racist yourself. This is not how mature adults think, I suggest rearranging that thought process of yours.  |

In politics all those cliches were invented by Marxists in their possessing Russian Empire during 20's XX.
It's a common attorney strategy to find a clue about a bad habit of your opponent's victim and start beating this point. This is how leftists get rid of alt-rights, far-rights and the other ones.

True but taking posts from Facebook and highlighting one known editor for a newspaper company is not symptomatic of a larger problem. |

The day you find people of color doing the same with whites across the world then we can talk about double standards, until then, these "anti-white" rants are just the ramblings of misguided individuals. I think this may be one of those strange/odd/double standards you spoke about If racism isn’t okay period, then why is it not okay to talk about racism against white people? You said “You have had systems placed for centuries that have abused minorities for centuries.” Can you give just one example of this today? And can you explain why white people should be held responsible for said systems they had nothing to do with? And can you also explain what you would like to see happen? Where is the claim of anti-white being a national issue? You said “The day you find people of color doing the same with whites across the world then we can talk about double standards”, so it doesn’t need to be a national issue, but an international one before we can begin talking about racism against white people? But didn’t you just say racism isn’t okay, period? But now you’re saying it’s okay until it happens on an international level and only against white people? If racism isn’t okay, then why when talking about racism against white people(as insignificant as you seem to think it is) is it considered ramblings? |

True but taking posts from Facebook and highlighting one known editor for a newspaper company is not symptomatic of a larger problem. Well, I can agree on it, but having been discussing for some time with young fellas and the other people I see that now the situation about news and facts has changed. Even fake news could be constructive, and true straight ones might bring bring a little destruction to relations... Anyway, the situation has to be ruled speculating about the particular info in more detailed way. I meant that it wouldn't wrong to discuss the matter in general, not in particular, taking the video in the topic. |

Yeah you said racism is learned that's why I said don't be racist to others if you don't want people to be racist to you. Key is to learn not to be racist since that leads to problems and sometimes life threatening ones. Like right now in my state they're trying to find a serial killer who's killing black girls/women. Hopefully, he gets locked up soon so no one else dies. |

Yeah you said racism is learned that's why I said don't be racist to others if you don't want people to be racist to you. If someone is racist towards you, then that person is automatically racist to everyone of your race. If you are being racist in response, then you are simply being racist as well. Because of the actions of one individual you are becoming hostile to everyone else of that race. This simply means you are racist, just like the person whom you despise for being racist. It reminds me of one situation from TA when Serbs were arguing with Albanians, and one Albanian lady jumped into the battle bashing the Slavs. I critisized her approach, and suddenly she said that she's talking about the Serbs. But she attacked all the Slavs, including those who were fine with her and did not participate in this circus - but she insulted the whole group. Even if she wanted to only insult the Serbs, she was still insulting the whole nation. What she should have done instead, if she was so focused on insulting someone, was attacking directly those who attacked her. You can call them morons, you can point out their intellectual disabilities, but when you complain that someone is against "your kin" and generalizes, then by generalization you are becoming a person whom you critisize for exactly same thing. |

Hopefully, he gets locked up soon so no one else dies. What does a serial killer who is black have to do with this discussion? SMH again, racism is learned as you affirm, however I'm getting the vibe from you that as long as nobody makes any remarks about your heritage you won't make remarks about theirs. The problem I have is, if your mind is absolved from having racist thoughts you wouldn't make those thoughts apparent regardless if someone made pejorative remarks towards you. |

There isn't a black serial killer. Just a racist one who targets black girls/women. Someone needs to teach him a lesson. People like him don't belong in this world. That's all I was saying. |
