Members Songman68 Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 You are a friggin idiot. Why don't you do some background investigation on the where the name came from before you post stupid {censored} like this. The city was named after a man with the last name white you fool.

Members telephant Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Exactly. So many of you are so fast to call anything and everything racist. The word got burned out a long time ago.Oh come on, you see a town down South called "Whiteville," its not that big of a stretch to think, "Hmm, it wouldnt suprise me if this was named by a bunch of slave owning rednecks." Its not like its never happened before. you know talking doesnt make you seem smart....You are horrible at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pickinatit Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 You know that roll eyes doesnt make you seem smart, but congrats on taking the time to google. Im actually suprised it really is named after someone named "White." Down south you see all sorts of blatantly racist stuff. I have to admit that I've met my fair share of racists down south in and around the Shreveport & Baton Rouge areas (haven't really travelled the south very extensively outside those areas)but I also have to wonder whether it isn't a case of YOUseeing "all sorts of blatantly racist stuff" that really isn't.

Members Ãœberschall Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 Why is that racist? Is it racist to say something is white?I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeathMonkey Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's an assumption based on your own prejudice though. I would say that it was a fair question based on his sensitivity to racism. There is plenty of historic anecdotal evidence to merit such a thought. Ascribing any question of racism to "reverse racism" is ridiculous. Punishing people for asking questions about racism on either side is exactly what both the PC Nazis AND those who profit from racism (on all sides) want. Telephant asked a question, got an answer. Walk it off. Throwing around accusations of prejudice because someone raises an issue is simply bull{censored}. If we cannot ask questions, how are we to gain the knowledge that will dispel our ingrained ignorance and bias? It's not the person that challenges the status quo that is to be vilified, but the person who, in command of the facts, refuses to change their thinking. I think we've all learned a valuable lesson.

Members Ãœberschall Posted September 17, 2007 Members Share Posted September 17, 2007 I had a Negro tell me pool was a racist game. The table is green representing th earth, the white ball knocks all the colored balls into the holes and saves the black ball for last. He really believed that too. He was a pretty cool guy but man did he think whitey was out to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice wordy retort, however it is a reflection of one's own prejudice to cast aspersions on the origin of a towns name without first doing research into the matter. Assuming it was born out of racism simply because you experienced racism yourself is the same thing as assuming all black people are criminals because you were mugged by one. Besides, It's not like I'm calling him a reverse bigot for stating his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a pretty cool guy but man did he think whitey was out to get him.I went pretty deep into studying a lot of Racial Studies in college, and after. I will certainly not deny that there is some ridiculous {censored} out there. I think people forget that we are only three generations removed from Jim Crow, two generations from dogs and firehoses in the streets. Just as White xenophobia gets handed down, anti-White sentiments do as well. Some of the stuff concocted during the Black Panther/ Nation of Islam era is just hysterical - on one hand you have some very sane and real social, economic and political criticism. And then you have stuff like not wearing bleached cotton because it is a symbol of the White Man trying to bleach color form the world. Playing cards - the Blacks are Spades and Clubs (working tools), while the others get Diamonds and Hearts - also racist :freak:. There's a ton of these. The people that use this as a tool to mirror White ignorance unfortunately cloud real issues, and allow dismissing of more real issues and problems because of their own craptastic foolishness.Honestly, the only answer for this {censored} is education and discourse.
