Black people 'should get over' slavery? Comment stuns lawmakers in Virginia

[Cap]

I am looking at the BIG picture.

Atlantic city.  How can you have a multibillion dollar casinos and homeless people sleeping outside your door?
The judicial/legislature system that we have  in place now is not working. 
It is all about pay to play from the local government all the way up to the federal government, The whole American voting process has to change.
If you aren't a multimillionaire or have contacts with wealthy backers, you are NOT getting into office, local, state or federal.
Then you have to pay back all of your supporters.

It is up to us, as the VOTERS to get out and VOTE!

That is the only thing that politicians realize is when their asses are on the line.

Politicians don't f**k with seniors because they vote
Politicians don't f**k with gays because the vote
People that earn 100k or more, they vote
The Jewish block?
Tobacco industry...Money to sponser a politicians campaign
Same thing with NRA
same thing with the Insurance industry
Same thing with the technology/cable
etc, etc, etc

But it all begins with us.

The peanut gallery who vote.

This last election made "THEM" realize that we are sick of their shit and we are not gullible sheep.

Listen, learn, vote.

You guys have some high ass taxes to have so many problems.  Maybe guys like Schiano shouldn't have gotten a raise.  I'm surprised with all the tolls things aren't better

Everyone in this thread is a racist if you believe that being particularly prejudiced means you are a hate monger. I'm not a John Rocker type of talker or a Mark Fuhrman extremist.

I think having an opinion does not make anyone prejudiced or racist.  If I think homosexuality is wrong, it doesn't make me a hate monger, homophobe or prejudice.  It means I have an opinion on an issue or group just like some have their opinions about me.

O Rly?     Depends on who you talk to (or who is talking to you).  I've been called a homophobe for voicing objections to the lifestyle.

Yes, really....

O really heir doctor....?

Yes, really....

Lol...I coould give two shits about what people think.  I know people and don't agree with their lifestyle but it is their life.  I don't like it but it doesn't make me a bigot.  If I beat the shit out of gay people, then I would be a bigot.

  If I beat the shit out of gay people, then I would be a bigot.

only if you beat the shit out of them for being gay

if you beat the shit out of them for being assholes, are you still a bigot?

ps: everyone should get over racism, fucking crybabies

Only if I say, you buttfucking homo, I'll kill you, you DA lovign son of a bitch.  Die Bluto!  But I digress...BTW, just kiddin Bluto

I am in this thread too so I am also a racist. I was just making a stupid statement which I had no intentions of passing off as a serious comment, I am all about getting people to shut the fuck up about racsim and telling them to get over it...

Exactly...people need to get over racism and rasist people. You are always going to have racist people. Just learn to deal with their stupidity. Just like you see stupid people around youll see racist people around. Just deal with it.

I actually like racist people because i know im at least smarter than that percent of the population. And it is so easy to argue against a racist because they never have a valid argument

Not true.  Calling someone a racial slur doesn't make you smarter, it just means you hold different values and aren't prejudicial.  Saying you hate asians doesn't make you dumber than me.

No thats exactly what it means. Like if you say..."______'s  are dumb" that premise is already debunked and it shows a lack of rational thinking because to say ________'s are dumb but there are many extremely ________'s on this planet means your argument or comment is wrong. Your intelligence shows in comments also. Now to hold prejudices against a certian group means you are ignorant. Because it means to "pre-judge" without information. To make an uninformed judgement on someone is ignorant. Ignorance means to not know.

[Cap]

Ignorance does mean "not to know", not that one prejudges.  I could know everything about blacks and still hate them, it still doesn't make me ignorant or less intelligent. 

[MikeThaMachine]

Most true Racist lack all if any ability to conceive rational thoughts, Hitler was in some ways a genius but his lack of rational thinking (that the Germans were superior and unbeatable) was a big part of his downfall. You can def be very intelligent yet lack the ability to work with or work against someone because your close mindedness keeps you from seeing the whole picture by generalizing something to assume it's something it clearly is not (i think that makes sense ). Basically a true racist lacks the ability to see whats right in front of them based on pre-determined generalizations which tend to be false and missleading.

[Cap]

Again, I don't think that anyone is a rational being.  Some people just take it extremes, like Hitler.  I think you can be intelligent, racist and not kill 6 million Jews. 

[Option D]

Thats exactly what it does. Beecause to say "i know everything about black's" thats assuming all blacks are the same. Like me saying i know everything about whites, that basically puts a rational man and jeffery domer in the same boat. Or saying every white person thinks like hitler. Dude its irrational and to think you can know everything there is to know about a group made up of different people And if so. Say you know everything there is to know about blacks and everything there is to know about whites. And what you know about blacks is bad and what you know about whites is good. there is a kid that is hald black and half white...does that make him half good and half bad? See what im saying. To be a racist is to be ignorant.

Intelligence and ignorance are difference.  Pick one and stick with it.  I think we might be thinking some similar thoughts but you really can be a smart person and be racist.  They can co-exist.  You can say you are stupid and your beliefs show little thought or are dismissive but I would hardly say ignorant.

Sure a person can be a "smart" racist.  But the racist is just dumb in some areas.

True.  I think it exists in logical thinking, which can be confused/exchanged with rational.  I think it is a stupid stance to take but I don't know too many racists.

I know plenty.  The overwhelming majority of them were either raised that way or make huge assumptions about entire classes of people.

I wrote it wrong.  I meant to say that racism is a stupid stance to take.  It is especially dumb considering the diversity of America today.  It would be like hating Mexicans in CA or asians in Hawaii.  It just doesn't make sense because you would walk around hating the majority.  Illogical is all.  Hope that clarifies.

I think it's illogical regardless of the percentage of the population you're dealing with.  Don King (a black racist) is as ignorant as David Duke (a white racist).  A person cannot logically make an assumption about ALL whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc.  Plus, with the dilution of the races in this country, it really makes no sense.  Obama, for example, is half white.  I know tons of mixed race people.  Huge population of mixed race people in Hawaii.

Like I said.  It is based on logical thinking.  I know who I do hate though, internet tough guys aka Shadow and DA.

Point well taken.
I  spoke with DA at a Christmas party.  He was all gung ho for the fight with Adonis.
The fight didn't happen, not because of DA.

So, I give him the benefit of the doubt as to taking his talk into Real life.
