racism is the default state of all organizations that involve white people, unless that organization is perpetually apologizing for something and spending money on sensitivity training. Even that isn't guaranteed insurance against the self-righteous, victimhood-seekers.
The idiot BLM people and their militantly naive student offspring have ruined any serious discussion about race relations. Refusing to engage in rational behavior tends to do that.
As disgusting as Trump is, the race-baiters have a lot of blame in his ascension. People are so sick of it they are willing to support a clear douchelake.

that's why their can't be a discussion. And Donald Trump is doing good in the primary, because for the past 25 years right wing radio and then Fox News has been spewing racist drivel, that certain white people who can't deal with changing demographics have been brainwashed to fear people who look different from them.

Unlike you, I believe everybody in this world is equal. I'm not drawing conclusions, I'm basing it off of this post and many others like it by you. I'm just pointing out the obvious issue you have with people of different ethnicity. I would point it out no matter what ethnic group it is. And where did I say I'm a civil rights hero? I never will be one anyway, just an average person expressing my opinion

You asked what you said was racist.... It's certainly the closest thing to racism in this thread.
"White people like you who don't acknowledge racism..."
Listen clown, you don't know me. You don't know what I look like, who my family is, what my job is, what my struggles are, what my social activities are... but you run your loud mouth anyway. Why? Because you are a self-righteous martyr wanna-be who is more interested in feeling good about yourself than you are thinking critically. You made it personal by bringing the other person's race into the discussion and attaching it to a certain negative behavior. I am merely talking about ideas about race relations and certain specific political movements. I didn't say "black people do this" or "black people act like this" or even "blacks who do this" because I'm not bigoted. I don't have the weird need to bring someone's race into the picture because it doesn't matter.
Unlike you, I believe everybody in this world is equal.
What a completely idiotic thing for you to say. You are like a FoxNews propagandist by randomly assuming something negative about another person, with zero evidence, and then moving on to your facile argument. I have a problem with self-rightoues morons, like YOU. People like that have every color skin on Earth. Stop using a discussion about group identity to shield yourself from realizing that a lot of people think you, as an individual, suck. I can handle knowing a ton of people don't like me on here. I tend to think it's because of what I post, not because of some bigoted systematic oppression.
You are a racist because you are obsessed with race and use it as a weapon frequently on this message board against people you have decided are white. Find one thing I have ever said about a particular race that is negative. BLM is not a race, it's a specific political movement which has people of all races.
Get. Over. Yourself.

And I have seen you plenty of times make negative comments about different ethnic groups. And please explain how is saying a person won't acknowledge racism, is close to racism? And tell me what ethnic group I'm racist against? What ethnic group have I made hateful comments about? Like I said before I don't claim to be anything than an average person. So I don't know what your obsession is with this hero and martyr stuff is. You seem to have some deep seated emotional issues, which have led you to hating people different from you. Please go seek some help from a medical professional and get medicated. There is help out there to get rid of all that deep seated anger.

Not capable of seeing that you have nothing specific to back up your serious, psychotic accusations, and yet you are still annoying enough to keep on spewing out garbage.
I can see right through you. Ultimate hypocrite with no hope of self-awareness. Keep on rattling off and humiliating yourself. You're still not a social justice hero, even though you pretend you don't see yourself as one on here. Just a village idiot who can't reason your way through arguments without losing your sh*t, so you crap your pants and scream "racist!" No pride.
Last word is your's.

Don't project either your or someone else's hate onto me. I haven't said a hateful thing about any ethnic group or demographic. CSO stated black lives matter participants are idiots. Tell me what's idiotic about standing up for yourself so cops won't shoot you just because of the color of your skin?

TK, you should stay away from any racial discussion because every single time one comes up you seem to tick off most every person on this bored. Never fails. When I read anything racially related by someone I immediately wonder which post below is gonna be yours cause we all know it's coming and we all know you accuse everybody of being a racist. It gets old dude.

Like the original poster I responded to, I'm going to call it out. Just put it this way I want to see Completely Solid Orange and any other posters like him go up to the players on the football team and make the statements he made in the post I responded too. If you share CSO's sentiments I want to see you do the same. Then let's see how the football players react towards that. Since you approve of the banana incident

Ah yes a defender of BLM a group born from hatred that preaches hatred. A group who's cofounder posted on Twitter about killing white people.
A group who is currently protesting a shooting in which the CRIMINAL was seen pointing his weapon at police.
A group born from the LIES that was "hands up don't shoot" which was total fabricated BS. Let me guess you still think that actually happened.
Your homophobic bigotry on this site is known you are nothing more than a hypocrite

of two people hanging bananas from an African-American history banner and now, all of a sudden, the entire University isn't diverse or inclusive enough?
The students involved in the sit-in say they want to see changes that make the campus more inclusive but I have yet to hear anyone specifically identify what types of changes they want.
