Originally posted by ZivaDomini Honestly, I get tired of seeing A black guy in a group of white people. It makes me feel like it's so fake. Like he's there solely so they aren't called racists.
Isn't that the term they use called "token black guy"
Originally posted by Rikimaru_X Originally posted by 8hammer8 One of my favorite stretches I have recently heard is why is black history month in February? Is it because it is the shortest month of the yeat with 28 days or 29 days every four years. So even the month celebrating blacks is seen as racist. Technically it's not seen as racist if you look at it though another point of view. (I'll try to put this in good words being that I just woke up). Every day, every month is a white day, a white history. You really have to learn about the history of black history. They basicly got the month to have time where the ways, thoughts and ideas of blacks can be learned and . . . .damn I'm sleepy. My main point is it's not seen as racist if you look it though yourself. If you passed grade school, I don't think you would see it that way. (not an offence)
Riki....you are absolutely killing me here, I know you were sleepy and all, but before you decide to post something, make sure you read what is wrote again before insulting someones intelligence (no offense taken). If you read what I wrote, you will notice I said, " One of my favorite STRETCHES (as in grasping at straws, leaps in logic, just general B.S.) ...." I was just stating something that I heard brought up on the radio the previous evening by a black talkshow host. Never did I say "I believe...."
I hope you understand the overall theme of what I wrote (1st post on page 3 if you need to look again), I was just saying people often try to blow things out of proportion just to get their name in lights which ties into people screaming that King Kong is racist just to get their "voice" heard.
So as I see it; get some more rest, have a good day and don't make assumptions.

I didn't mean too assume that you believed it... I was just explaining why in my eyes I don't agree with the opinion (if it was from you or not). Now I don't know why you didn't tell me it came from a black talkhost in the first place, that would really change some things in my post.

In a way my point is, it should not matter what color the person was that decided to voice that opinion. I think it is silly. If it was a white person = silly. If it was a black person = still silly. If it was a brown, yellow, pink, purple person still = silly. I totally agree with you in the fact that I disagree with the statement and think it is false. So know that we are arguing the same point, this little banter between us is over. Back to the point of the thread:
King Kong is not racist...those that believe it is are reading too much into something that is nt there or are just blowing this subject up because they love the sound of their own voice.
