The major thing that's been bothering me is how many race related comments I see on these forums and elsewhere. I'm completely sick of ALL of the stereotypes, against all races, that I hear every fucking day. The most sad part is, none of that is ever going to change.
Will someone please answer this question for me: What does being black, Asian or Mexican have to do with how you act or preform on an INTERNET FORUM. Seriously. The internet has evolved into a place where you can be anonymous, where your real life has no bearing.
Then, of course, there came people that use their race as an excuse for certain "privileges.." E.G. I'm black, so I can say n*gger. fucking lame forum censors.
WHOA, DID THAT WHITE GUY JUST SAY THE N WORD?
Fuck yeah I did, asshole, because what is stopping me? I didn't say that in an insulting manner, I didn't use it as a derogatory term. I just spit it out, and holy shit, here comes Al Sharpton to bust my ass right now.
If that didn't prove a point, I don't know how else to say it - race, in a perfect world, should have no effect on anything, on how people perceive you or how you present yourself. The latter seems to be a noticeable issue recently. It's great to take pride in your race but to be an arrogant cock in public and act like whatever your race is gives you special rights.. well, isn't that one of the basic principles of racism?
I'm done for now, might add more later, but my rants are more like angry rambles so who knows.

I honestly believe racism could be ended very easily, for good, if everyone did this one thing: Simply forget that there are different skin tones, different cultures, et cetera. Instead of saying "That black guy" you should just say "That guy", just as you would a white person and visa versa. The same would go for any "race". However, this will never happen simply because most people don't have the capacity for such self control.

We should poke everyone's eye out, then replace them with electronic eyes that ignores skin colour.

Maybe because the people who keep mentioning they are black are actually whitey from the mid-West United States?

Comments of race will never go away until we all mix together some time in the future. And even this will not stop bigoted opinions of the differences of peoples. Rome, for example had a large slave class in many ways like our own in the 19th century, but there were a large amount of differences, the main being that slaves were not slaves based on race but on other factors, mainly wars and poverty. That being said the main prejudices that would arise in a culture like this would be based on culture and creed, not strictly on race. All people could become Roman citizens if they acted....Roman(religion, dress, etc.) I think this came about because of the position of the Roman state to other different races(Africa and Asia Minor), something very similar to our own state(the U.S.) but with very different results.
I agree there exists a double standard in our society when referring to black and white relations. For example on this forum, when you try to post the dreaded "N" word, it replaces it with "mean black person", but when you try to post "cracker" it lets it through, also the trend of calling blacks "African American" when referring to their race...yet whites are called "white" instead of "European American" (I actually prefer white and black...very simple, I am just putting the example forward).
We as a society will not get over the differences in our race if we keep "pouring salt on the wound" so to speak, by placing people of different races into stereotypical groups. Referring to a "Black" or "White" person should mean absolutely nothing other than their skin tone. It should not reflect their character or their culture. Treating people as individuals instead of groups will very much hamper the ignorance that has crept into the minds of Americans of all ethnicities.
