Even the notion - voiced by a white person - that there is a rational set of criteria which do not include race for judging merit, performance, etc is seen, rightly or wrongly, as racist. The very state of being "white", which once meant that we were the only ones who got a vote on these things, now means that not only do we not get a vote but the very notion that we would feel entitled to an opinion on the subject is racist.

It doesn't actually preclude white people from *having* opinions, of course, since we obviously do - but it does affect what happens if we choose to voice them.

:rolleyes:  racist

How is it that Louis CK puts it? "I'm not saying that white people are better. I'm saying that BEING WHITE is better."

Sorry but I'd go further and say that if you are going to have opinions (even unvoiced) then your very existence is racist. :(

I hope to have died peacefully of natural causes before the tables are turned and white folks are on the receiving end.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'd like to know why the black people have white people noses.

Article says they're supposed to be Latinos.

It'll be naturalish.  How much Americium do you think you need to eat before you get cancer?  That's fairly natural.

Oh, please.  I've told you to go fuck yourself plenty of times.  You'll figure something out.
