Yeah someone change the title of this thread to Gravy is White Thread since that is now the most important topic here

White gravy gives me gas.

I'm afraid if the white guy had said the same thing, they'd have come unglued.

For the record, I feel exactly as you, Brahma. I only discriminate against dumb fucks. Stupidity doesn't have a color.


Edit: And for those who still don't know, there's been some confusion, I'm white. My avatar is Joe Delaney.

Gravy is actually Sausage Gravy?! We need a name change Amod.

Black from the waste down. Blame Tuco for my avatar.

The thing is, it's really not a complex issue.

There's a couple of different ways to see racism.

1> All races are inherently equal, treating races differently in any way is racism, and racism is fundamentally evil.
1a> But only prejudice + power = racism, if you lack social power you can't be racist.
2> All races are inherently equal and most of what we see as racial differences are cultural differences, and treating people differently based on race is stupidity in general
3> Races are not inherently equal, treating different races differently is ok

Thats basically the positions, everyone falls into one of them, and only 3 is really wrong, but 1a just makes you an sjw homo.

I always definedracismas number three. Like the KKK style of "the negro is biologically inferior to the master white race" approach to racism. Which is horrifying and dangerous and results in people getting lynched or curbstomped.

Everything else I think of as racial prejudice. Which is a bad thing and causes inequalities and injustices, but its not the same as "racism" to me. Its just profiling and disparities in treatment.

Maybe I'm too hopeful but I feel like both are fading away with generations, but the racism is disappearing much faster than the prejudice. Prejudices can be fueled by cultural and social forces and are therefore much harder to break down as they are an intrinsic part of the world around us. The idea that blacks (or anyone) are inherently inferior is simply dying off with generations IMO, to the point that most people's kids would probably find the concept to be unthinkably absurd.

I'm also not Ed Reed. I don't know if that needed to be said?

See, you're all a bunch of damned racists. Just because a guy loves BBQ and funk he's gotta be black?

I never denied or confirmed when people said I was black, simply for the fact that it didn't matter, and it was a fun ruse.

Khane bro and I had black avatars before it was cool. Brahma's is still the most badass, though.


Edit: And at least one guy from the board knew I was white, because we met up when he was in town to have some feasting, and he was looking for a black guy, too.

Maybe you identify as black and are trans-african-american?

Well, we were black Irish. I'm feeling repressed all over again. I might be triggered or something. Rape.
