First thing's first: KEEP. THIS. SHIT. CIVIL. If you can't talk about race without resorting to childish insults and rude generalizations or getting angry at people who don't see it your way, leave the thread.
With that said, I bring you to what can hopefully be the general thread about race.
First, a few starter questions.
- How, if at all, do you feel your race affects your everyday life?
- Do you believe that white people (or whatever the majority race in your area is) receive privileges simply because of the color of their skin. How much?
- Do you believe minorities are discriminated against for the same reason? How much?
- Do you believe that assimilation of cultures is better than people trying to keep their own?
- Affirmative Action. Yea, Nay? Why or why not?
Also, a personal question from me.
- Why (in my experience, not trying to generalize) do white people often try to insist that they aren't white? I can't count the number of times I've heard "I'm not white, I'm 1/4th English, 1/4th German, 1/4th Scandinavian 1/8th Cherokee, and 1/8th Russian," as though 4 of 5 of those things aren't considered "white" by the masses. Is it because you have pride for your ancestry, or an attempt to try and differentiate yourself from all those "other" white people? Or something else altogether?

Curious how all his thoughts (if you can call them thoughts) about blacks come in sexual situations.

What, you think it's odd that Hulk Hogan thinks about black men during sex? Every straight guy does that, it's normal!

Speaking of Hogan and his situation, many believe that if Hogan can get kicked out of the WWE like this, perhaps to the point of him being removed from the Hall of Fame, why not Donald Trump (who's also come under fire recently for his words against certain immigrants)? Sure, Hogan's the face of the WWE, but Trump's words were just as controversial, especially considering he's running for president.

Because Trump has shit tons of money and a pretty big following.
Forcibly removing him from the running because of his hateful comments is how you get church bombings.
Oh really when?
A procrastination in of itself
Trump is in the WWE?

Yeah Trump is in the wrestling stuff cuz he has given them a shitton of money. From what I understand he has also participated, not as a wrestler tho.

Okay then. At a guess I'd say it's because Trump is being racist against Hispanics, not blacks, so they see it as okay.

Instead of kicking Trump out, I say put him in the ring.
You know you'd watch that.

Make him walk 100 meters in Ciudad Juárez or San Salvador.

@Nettaki NBC let Donald Trump go after his remarks so he kind of already has been "kicked out".
The problem is that Trump is deliberately trying to pander to racists and he's finding surprising amount of success with his approach.

It's distressing to know that people can actually be politically successful on a "F*ck you, I'm white," campaign platform.

Well, a majority of Americans are white. And like all countries, a substantial amount are assholes or idiots.

Bringing back the Hogan story, more details have emerged - in addition to having a go at Jamie Foxx
and indulging in some casual homophobia
during the sex tape, he also expressed concern that he and his son might reincarnate as black guys in a 2008 prison phonecall
. It's like he's trying to hit bigot bingo.
What's precedent ever done for us?
