the problem is that people that believe this will never be able to change and they teach their kids the same things by their comments and attitudes.

Exactly. It is a cycle.

When I operated the sales dept for my family business, I used to hear things that made me cringe inside, but I moved past it because I am not going to blow a sale or piss off a client because he is ignorant about race. Some of my friends, guys that I have known since I was 5 years old, feel that they are superior to blacks. Are they bad folks because of the manner in which they were raised? I say no. These are good people who care for their families, donate time and $ to the community, and are regular guys like us....well, at least like me.

Being raised a bigot does not make you a bad person, it just makes you a bigot.
Sorry Cie, that explanation just doesn't wash anymore.

It's 2010. There's no excuse for racial intolerance or any feelings of racial superiority, regardless of a person's birthplace or upbringing. I lived in the South for 10 years and I didn't suffer fools or bigots any more there than I do here.

this is where the trouble starts. And I can just about guarantee that Dogs and Mags both feel they are superior to blacks.

Its a attitude of never giving a black person a chance and its wrong.

Now if I meet a black person and he is a moron I dont say hey that n....... is lower than dog shit.

I just say that guy was nuts and move on.

:facepalm:

the problem is that people that believe this will never be able to change and they teach their kids the same things by their comments and attitudes.

Funny thing, Archie-Atlanta, I've never said anything about blacks. Only you do, you racist piece of dung.

Yes, you, 50+ year old white man living in GA with your confederate flag and bumper sticker on your truck.

Leave me out of your racist tirades - I don't discuss race in my posts (unless I'm responding to your racist dribble), so leave me out of them.

Come on Mags... no one's buying your "I know you are but what am I?" routine. You know as well as everyone else in this forum that Scotty's anything but a racist.

I commented on Dogs being a good guy based on my brief encounter with him. I do not condone any form of bigotry, and I have called out Dogs in the past for racist comments far more severe than what is going on in this thread.

I live in the south. I don't know how it is in your area, but here racist and simple-minded thoughts on race are common from the uneducated masses, to high level executives, and everyone in between. The reason I thought Obama could not win an election was because of my thoughts on the prevalence of racism throughout the country. In fact, this cost me a couple of hundred bucks that I layed on McCain at +160:mj07: I thought that it was the same way everywhere:shrug:

Being raised a bigot does not make you a bad person, it just makes you a bigot.

Cie would you (or anyone else) please bring back any deemed "racist comment" I've made. I am curious what they would be.

Most post that have been contrued as racist have merely been statistical data. Now if one being statisically predjudice to facts is racist--then guilty as charged--but I can assure I treat everyone I meet the same--the reason I am not dropping a bunch of kids off on tenth street to go trick or treating on halloween--is not be cause I'm racist but because I am statisically prudent.

I can think of a few dozen off the top of my head

so would the kids you were dropping off on 10th street be black ?

explain that and maybe we can come to a understanding.

Well they say "Dogs" don't possess self-awareness. That's why a Chihuahua will try to back down an Irish Wolfhound... :shrug:

This is one of the most insulting posts that this board has ever seen.
