    Default What is Racism?

    in light of don imus being fired

    people saying what he said is racist, which it is, then the black people who go after him for saying such things are also called racist. which in part it MAYBE racist, BUT nevertheless, they have a zero tolerance against negativity brought to the black community.

    so what is defined as racism?

    as said in many threads

    discuss

    I think racism is over rated... I have been spit in the fae before because of it, whooped somebody's ass over it, and had plenty of arguments pertaining to it. What I have come to realize is that people have their set thoughts and though they may be wrong in their thinking it is something that is uncontrolable by me, and I can only hope that they change.

    racism in my eyes as i see it is, anything a white person may say against someone of another race in a negative way can be called racist, but anybody can say anything they want about white people and its ok. and thats just plain bullshit. everybody needs to stop being soo fucking sensitive.

    in some ways its onesided and sometimes people are sensitive, but to not be 'disciplined' for making such a statement is crazy. he deserved discipline, i dont know about losing his job, losing his sponsors was just about good enough for me, but the 2weeks wasn't enough, he needed more time than that. i'm not sure if the firing was necessary, but 2weeks wasnt enough discipline

    What he said was not racist at all. Bigotry is often confused with racism; The "R" word is thrown around way too much. Look up the definition of racism and tell me how that applies to what Imus said. The guy is a tool. Guilty of saying something he shouldn't have, and looking like Lurch. The PMS-NBC have every right to pull his show for these comments or just because they feel like it. It's their station.

    so what would you call what he said, because that wasnt bigotry?

    Stupid? Not sure, but I also don't see how it falls under racism. Does he believe he is genetically superior to the "nappy headed hoes"? How is it not bigotry if the remarks were aimed to belittle them because of their color?

    in my opinion when i finally heard the clip, it seemed as a jokingly thing that was said, BUT i dont know that, noone really knows if it was meant to belittle, be racist, or what. either way it was uncalled for and reprucussions were severe/close to what was needed in this case.

    i mean it could have been a bigoted statement i guess, it could have been a racist remark, stupidity...i doubt very seriously MAYBE a joke, mocking the rappers who show no respect to women, thats why rap needs to be killed and hip hop needs to be revived.

    You might be right. I myself have not heard the clip, just read the transcript. Having read it, it's not much different than reading this. You can't tell sarcasm or inflection in their voice. Anyway, I think they were just looking for a reason to dump his show.

    i doubt that, it seems from what alot of people said that his show was pretty credible and had good ratings and created good income. also heard that he made many negative 'sly' remarks that were always brushed off until this incident. i always flipped by that channel trying to watch/listen to something in the morning to listen to while im getting ready for work.

    he's apologizing, yes, but i think sometimes apologizes aren't enough when something 'drastic' happens, if you know what im saying.

    its like apologizing for killing some ladies only child, you can apologize for days, but it doesnt take away the emotional hurt that has been inflicted, and i think this is what has happened in this predicament. there are many who probably think the same thing he does 'nappy headed hos' refers to all if not most black women, but like obama(i think thats his name) said, thats the stereotype that all black women have to overcome, because thats almost how society has made them. rap videos havent helped the 'ho' situation out either. so..there is alot to overcome

    racism is ignorance and narrow mindness running parallel to each other

    Basically people fear what they don't know, There will always be racism there just not getting rid of it, They only way we can get rid of it is if were all one race and nationality

    so you think imus was narrow minded in his 'statement?

    you're right, racism is here to stay, hate it or love it. to tell you teh truth, as much as i will say im not racist, i think we all have it in us, hate it or love it. i just know myself i give everyone a chance, im all about equal opportunity ya know. but i think racism lies in us all

    Racism = ignorance. You don't understand the fact that everyone is human. Regardless of how dumb they may be.

    Racism is the use of stereotypes as fact.

    so what is defined as racism?
