[quote=Article]

“A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States, regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination. (This does not deny the existence of such prejudices, hostilities, acts of rage or discrimination.)" - Page 3

-----

“REVERSE RACISM: A term created and used by white people to deny their white privilege. Those in denial use the term reverse racism to refer to hostile behavior by people of color toward whites, and to affirmative action policies, which allegedly give 'preferential treatment' to people of color over whites. In the U.S., there is no such thing as 'reverse racism.'" - Page 3

-----

“A NON-RACIST: A non-term. The term was created by whites to deny responsibility for systemic racism, to maintain an aura of innocence in the face of racial oppression, and to shift responsibility for that oppression from whites to people of color (called "blaming the victim"). Responsibility for perpetuating and legitimizing a racist system rests both on those who actively maintain it, and on those who refuse to challenge it. Silence is consent." - Page 3

-----

"Have you ever heard a well-meaning white person say, 'I'm not a member of any race except the human race?' What she usually means by this statement is that she doesn't want to perpetuate racial categories by acknowledging that she is white. This is an evasion of responsibility for her participation in a system based on supremacy for white people." - Page 8

"The notion of indigenous people as more akin to animals than human beings is at the basis of U.S. policy toward Native Americans. In 1784 George Washington, famous Indian fighter, large landholder and slave owner, advised the Continental Congress that it would be cheaper for the new nation to buy up Indian land than to make war on Indian people for the land. If you make war, Washington cautioned, 'the savage as the wolf' - both wild beasts of the forest - will retreat for awhile and then come back to attack you. Washington's metaphor stuck. The young U.S. nation-state, and all sectors of European- American; began to view the Native American as a wild animal." - Page 10[/quote]

This is unbelieveable. I grew up 10 minutes from the University of Delaware, it's in Newark. This writing is a complete oxymoron of racism in general (i.e. taking responsibility for your actions).

Kevin M 10-31-2007 02:34 PM

There is no "policy" contained in that document.

FW Motorsports 10-31-2007 02:52 PM

That's all you got?

Wow.

Kevin M 10-31-2007 03:07 PM

I don't get up in arms when stupid people do stupid things. If the University comes out and wastes resources defedning this, then I will have issues.

"By this definition, people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system, they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of discrimination."


I guess getting charged with a hate crime will come to an end, due to not passing 14th Amendment snuff.

Wow.[/QUOTE]

They do things differently on the east then we do in the west, the same can be said with the south. The best I can do is to just stay the F' away, and be glad that Sacramento was voted the best city in American for race relations and culture diversity. (Time 2002)

Got to love the tone when about Washington.

[quote]In 1784 George Washington, famous Indian fighter, large landholder and slave owner, advised the Continental Congress...[/quote]

More like “George Washington, Commander in Chief of the Continental Army against Britain, the first President of the United States, driving force of our US Constitution...”

Part of the problem with America. :(

People these say have less respect than ever. I’m only young so it must be in their upbringing. Off topic but I actually had to tell a prior service Sailor that his old BDUs weren’t meant to serve as a convenient costume. He had no clue.

FW Motorsports 11-01-2007 03:44 PM

C'mon Salty...I know dang well put your BDUs on every now & then and "ambush" the neighborhood kids.

Then again, maybe I'm projecting.
