Out of all the words there are in the english language I can't stand the N word especially when refering to blacks! To me the N word doesn't apply to race, to me the N word is an "attitude" word. Me I'm far from an N but you know any race can be an N skin color doesn't have nothing to do with it! I will admit though I do get tired of blacks whenever they see a confederate flag that they are in a racist area. No matter WHERE you go you will ALWAYS encounter racism and honestly I love the confederate flag to me it means southern pride and I'm not afraid to go around wearing a shirt with a confederate flag on it. I'm not into all that saggy pant crap with my pants below my knees thats not me give me a pair of boots some jeans that fit tight around my waist and a plain tshirt and I'm happy! You know I learned alot by traveling on the road, I learned that you'll meet ALOT of interesting and very good people. You also meet some bad people but I've meet more good people than bad people so I'm taking this as a sign the world is changing but you still got the racist idiots and people who prejudge before they get to know them and that is one thing I hate! People around here where I live look at me like I'm crazy cause I sometimes listen to country or rock cause I get tired of listening to rap after awhile, I just grin and wave at them. :lol: I get along with ANYONE and another thing I find funny is someone asked me "I never seen a black person wear a racing shirt before" It was a Tony Stewart shirt, yeah I'm a big NASCAR fan and drag racing fan! I told him "well there is a first time for everything!" Also one other thing that really ticks me off is hearing people say that blacks are lazy and don't want to work or are bad people! WRONG WRONG WRONG, no matter what race you are you will have lazy people and bad people! That is pretty much my view on racism, why I decided to start this type of topic, I'm not sure why I just felt like expressing my feelings and talk about something other than trucking for a change. You all be safe out there and God Bless!!! 8)

 

Have to say I agree with you about N being an attitude and not a color. That's how I was taught! That attitude comes in all colors and both sexes.

Racism, on both sides, is nothing more than ignorance. There is good and bad in all Races, all Nationalities, all Religions, all Humankind. We all should try to see each other as Individuals, and take the time to get to know someone without pre-judging them based on what they look like. I've never understood why that is so hard for some people.

I say this on a side, but 'racism' is a word which is normally misused. Like any other which ends in '-ism', it simply implies the promotion of something, so racism would be the promotion of a race (meaning that organizations such as the NAACP are, indeed, racist organizations), just as... say, Buddhism is the promotion of the spiritual beliefs surrounding a certain deity (Buddha). The correct term to what you're referring to would be bigotry.
Regarding the matter, I've noticed that everybody's a nigger, a faggot, a honkey, a wetback, etc. out on the open road, but we all sit down at the TA or Flying J to watch movies without much issue arising from it. I hear things on the radio all the time which annoy me, but if I went out on a crusade against every moron with a CB mic, I'd never have time for anything else.

 

One of my best friends is black...as a matter of fact, he looks a lot like an older version of Double L.

Anyway, he made the comment one time that there are n***rs and white trash and both colors have the same issues. There are stupid lowlifes (like KKKers and gang-bangers) that makes the rest of us, regardless of color, look bad.

 

If only everyone would see racism as a 2 way street. I'm tired of the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who want it to be a 1 way street all in favor of them. But I also know the same stuff goes on on the other side in the south still. It doesn't make much news but it does happen on both sides. Got to be a 2 way street.

 

I thought I was the only one who was tired of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Glad to know I'm not alone!

 

The media is the biggest problem in this country.Shut off the boob tube and go meet your neighbor. 8)

 

Well, I did what you said. I grabbed the remote and hit the off button and ran across the street to say hi to the neighbor. He asked if I could come back another time as he was watching TV.

 

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do more to hurt the Black Community than anyone else. By perpetuating the belief that they are "owed" something just for being born just reinforces the "slave" mentality, only now the Government is the Master that they expect to take care of them. There are generations that know nothing but Welfare and all you hear from these so-called leaders of the Black community is that their rights are being violated. Reality is that they are the ones cheating the people they pretend to help, they are the ones that are keeping them from getting ahead. They, and people like them, have turned MLK's "Dream" into a Nightmare!

If they truly cared about more than getting their own name in the Press all the time, they would be teaching that with Rights come Responsibilities. And to be given Respect, you first have to have Self-Respect.

When I was a young child I watched my Great Grandmother chase Jesse Jackson out of her store with a broom. He was a neighborhood "hoodlum" who, with his friends would shake down the old people for money. IMHO he's still a thief!



Ok off my !
