- White comedians do make racist jokes, but it takes less for them to cross the line, because of the history of this country. Countries with different histories see it differently. By organizations I mean NAACP, La Raza (I know they changed their name), etc. They promote racism even if they have good intentions.Porn model fired as the face of German far-right party because she has sex with a

do you feel threatened when "minorities" have a sense of pride about who they are as a people? there is nothing wrong about being proud of who you are and then creating a group to share your pride with others who feels as strongly as you do. it is wrong however when certain groups claim to be superior to other races and or cultures. imo.

& Tazz - NAACP exists to help colored people, as in non-whites. La Raza the same. They imply that minorities have special needs so they group and exclude by race. This is racism even if it's not malicious. There are no groups that publicly advocate for white advancement on the scale of NAACP and La Raza. That would be seen as oppressive in this country.

As defined by Webster:
rac·ism
noun \ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm also -ˌshi-\
: poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race
: the belief that some races of people are better than others

if a certain group of people are being excluded due to the color of their skin, religious beliefs, sexual preference etc then yes. and thats why groups like la raza and naacp were formed.

@Rasan
& IPIM - It is exclusionary to provide a service or benefit to a group and not to those outside of the group. And exclusion based on race is racism. It doesn't matter the reason or intent. I don't see this as debatable. A better debate would be whether or not all forms of racism are bad. @Shea - Remember the swastika cuff links? Con called me a few days later. He called us both racists for that one.

Now if US taxpayers of all color and creed are having to shell out money disproportionately to advance one ethnicity further than the other, that should be looked into.

Funny story about Con, he got drunk (nothing new) at my ex's sons bday a few years back (family party) & proceeded to call all his friends to tell them there is a "Party at my brothers house" & pretty much everyone from KD's came over. I had no clue til they showed up & I had to turn everyone away & he proceeded to say it was because I am a racist even tho there was a mixture of folks at the party LOL ....stormed off & left.
@StillHustlin
- I agree that it goes both ways. But not on the scale of NAACP or La Raza. At least not with that as their publicly stated goal. Either way, I still find it racist by definition. Again, we can debate whether some racism is worthwhile or justified, but it doesn't change that you're excluding whites for the benefit of non-whites. Good intentions, I know. But still racist. Also, I had to look it up but Rhodes Scholars are not always white.
