So...what do YOU think?

He IS African and American more so than anyone I went to school with (In the City not rural).
He is African -American and anyone says "no" is the "Raceist" & all the other names, etc....
I am considered Scottish-Am. and I am "white".
The majority of the present "Grant Clan"/Family is Jamaican but, they are just as much Scottish as I am.
A friend of mine, also "Grant" moved up to the U.S. and he is black and is as Scottish-American as I am.
(that maybe a reason for me to accept things quicker="a sense of Family" I guess

Reverse racism at it's finest.

Gotta love an expression that inplies that white on black racism is "forward" and therefore normal.

I'd say more on that but I don't think you meant anything by it just didn't think about what that means.

but why is the school holding an african american award thinger anyway? Isn't that racist all in itself?

I don't believe that it is "racist" as you say but I do agree that there are many double standards around issues like this in both American and Canadian Societies.

Though I may seem biased I look at it like this. If I am a Jewish Philanthopist and decide to give money for an award to a school I may want to help out other lesser fortunate jews. Since it is my money and my award I think that I should have a say in who gets it. Scholarships are done like this a lot in Uni. And of course there are Scholarships for all races creeds religions and ultimately people availible.

I don't agree that he should be in trouble for applying though. I think that the term african-american is a terrible one for what it was meant to mean (hope that makes sense). And Yes.. That student is African American to me.

Of course I didn't mean anything by it. When the word "racist" is used, it usually depicts caucasions disliking blacks due to race. That is just a given based on history. Jesse Jackson, the NAACP, Martin Luther the King (Coming to America - Excellent movie!!) use the term "Racist" against the white man. If I were to say the word "racist" you would automatically think of an anglo disliking another race.

Reverse racism, you automatically know what I am referring to.

Again, no I didn't mean anything by it, but you know what I was referring to.

dude,

I know that you didn't mean anything. Just wanted people to think about that term. You happened to be the first to use it

I don't. And I try to encourage people not to think like that. Thus my original post. Racism can come from anywhere. To give you an example I recently started hanging out with a serbian girl. She and her father got into a fight over something and he in a fit of anger asked "if she needed a little black in her" referring to her hanging out with me.

History and In the box thinking is what has that poor SA kid suspended.

By the way. Thanks for responding and still supporting your position. It might seem strange to you but generally if I get involved in a race conversation it involves a lot of wide eyes, silence and backing up on the part of others. It's cool to actually have someone not feel like they need to apologize when they haven't done anything worth apologizing for.

I hear ya, and I feel the same. I have my viewpoints and opinions and am not silenced by the possibility of offending others....

I agree with you. Racism is just that, descriminating one due to race.

This is one topic that will never die. Be nice if it would....

No shit!!! I grew up in the South (Georgia) and I can tell you that there was plenty on both sides. I got "stabbed in the back" by many "friends" growing up. If it was "Reverse Racism" it would be NOT descriminating against anyone.

(am I allowed to say whomped?? Is that offensive?? Oh my...)

Now you've gone and done it. Nothing about this thread have I found offensive. Then you go and say whomped.

Now I am thoroughly pissed. How un PC can you possibly be? I mean honestly, who says whomped anyway? What is wrong you? You should be whomped. And when you are done being whomped you should be whomped some more. And just for poops and snorts I think your dog should be whomped and if you do not have a dog you should be whomped again. And then the closest dog to you should be whomped, unless of course the dog has eaten a cat in the last three days, then it should be rewarded, then whomped.

Let the whompings begin!

Offensive. Truly Offensive. I am astounded. Now I must let out my frustration by whomping my wife! Oh wait, now that would be humping. Got my verbs mixed up.

I'll add to that: Be nice if it could.

Though we think we are almost done with it the North American society isn't done with it. We have simply moved it into the dark.

All that I am going to say is that I wrote two posts and deleted them

I can't seem to get through posting about this subject without getting emotional. What I will say is that I DO think that this is unfair to the child being suspended.

"Don't you know by now? You can say or do anything you want to White Anglo-Saxon Males and it is NOT discrimination. In fact in many areas (such as this article proves) it is encouraged. "

Dude, you left out Jews. It's perfectly acceptable to trash them too, in fact it seems to be quite in vogue in many circles these days.

Oops, you're right. sorry, "them" too!

Only if you're a fat white male person. Fat people of other genders and races fall under the PC protection program.

You only have to be fat and white..
because I promise you that fat white females are subjected to much much more than fat white males (who often appear to fall under the protection program...fat white males often have no problems.)
