Racism rant.

[bo$$]

no you can't. i dont know how it works in your country, but if you're arrested for being racist, that's oppression. like it or not, it's freedom of speech.

Can't get arrested for being a racist but you can get arrested for performing hate crimes. (obviously)

hate crimes dont equal racism. there's no law that says "you cant b racist LOZL"

You'd have to be racist to perform the hate crimes to begin with...

[FlyingJesus]

Yes but what he's saying is that being racist is not a crime; only acts of racism are illegal.

you also have to have hands in order to punch someone. you can have murderous thoughts, but not murder people. it's not what you think, it's what you do. you can be racist and never speak a racist word.

Which is exactly why I said you can't get arrested for being a racist? :S

All racists become racist from another racist. Either they've had a bad experience with a race or just have copied what they've seen someone else do. I think it's wrong & some people don't do enough to stop it. It can be stopped but we have to at least try. & like someone said something about Runescape, that was wrong. It's Habbo too. They just tell you click ignore but this isn't going to make the person learn from what they've done wrong. They don't even get a warning.

and this is why i hate PC. who gives a **** bout racism? it's never going to go. deal with it.

That's a ******** quote! What a stupid thing to say anyway! Terrorism is "never going to go away" so why just say "deal with it" then? Terrorism isn't gonna just stop, and I don't think we should ignore that! I just find most racists are bloody hypocritical, whether it be the extreme racists who support football teams with black players & applaud their players, or whether they make derogitory comments to, the race they hate, yet wear clothing/eat food which was probably manufactured by a person of that ethnicity. I must laugh at racist people who are homosexuals aswell, that's a joke and a half!!

Have to agree with that

And agree with that.

I am a racist, by the way. But know how to control myself. I didn't get my feelings for it from my parents, I got it from the media, from films and television. If you want to get rid of racism, get rid of it from the public viewing eye first; then you might stand a glimmer of hope so others don't continue.

Yeah I know the media plays a part on your opinion Smiddy. I just don't see how you can be racist and listen to music that comes from a person of ethnicity that you're racist about. Or anything like that. It totally contradicts the point of racism.

The kind of racism I'm talking about is people who kill someone else because they're a different race or just hate an entire race, e.g. the KKK. In a lot of cases I think racism is used because it's an easy insult, not because they literally believe that race to be inferior or the work of some anti-God.

Racism doesn't have to be extreme to be racism, hence how you could listen to black music and still be a racist - racism is simply a preference of one race over another, not even in regard to anything specifically.
