Why Are White People So Touchy About Being Called Racist?

Now, why would Scot Nakagawa be worried one way or the other? Would it be conferring racial advantage upon himself at the expense of someone else? Why, I do believe it is. Self-interest. Perfectly fine and even regarded as somehow noble, among all but white people.

Maybe that has something to do with it, Scot. It’s tantamount to ethic teabagging.

I know that I'm racist. I notice the color of someone’s skin, and most of the time have a preconceived notion of what they are like. I try not to though, but it is hard. And obviously once I get to know them that goes away.

I agree completely.....there are far more black racist(proportionately)than white....this includes almost all of the so called black leadership. From Collin Powell to Al Sharpton the racist term is thrown about just to end the discussion or their actions lay truth to their words!!!!!!!

Doesn’t bother me a bit.

Lets put some numbers to it. When it come to racism, 1 being a Yankee white guilt priest and 10 being Jeremiah Wright , where are you?

I am about a 5, I suppose.
Obama is a 10. His wife a 10.

So who is the most racist??

It aint me son.

.... I think this kinda sums it up quite nicely ....

Why are black people so touchy about being called a n****er?

Come on, I really hate libs, too, but this is just juvenile and stupid and just as damaging as 0bummer’s race separation...

Moderator, please moderate this...with an eraser.

Can’t say ‘niggardly’ either, can we?!

It means the liberal has lost the argument.

If you are intellectually bankrupt and unable to make an intelligent argument for your position, then you play the race card, in hopes of disarming your opponent.

My response is to the effect:

“It is the racist who pigeon holes a group of people as being incapable of making it, without the government’s help.”

“It is the racist who condemns legal immigrants to slave wages, by promoting amnesty for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.”

Here in Hollywood, I sometimes get into an argument with idiotic white liberals and their liberal white guilt.

the best part is when I bring one of my closest friends, a right-wing Filipino guy, and he blasts these idiots. I try to take a quick pic with my smartphone the look on their faces, but the more they get pissed off.

racism is ultimately kept in place by violence and the threat of violence

True, but now what passes for racism is kept in the forefront by implied threats of violence or personal & financial retaliation by "aggrieved" minorities, promoted by the usual race-hustlers and complicit Media...

My reaction is immediate and aggressive. Attack back. “Racist” is the worst insult on the street. They win when you boast of black friend, relatives and good works.

My inspiration is an English professor friend in the CA university system. He's thoroughly conservative and dukes it out with radicals every day. His stories would be hilarious if they weren't so sad; so many young minds have been polluted in K-12.

“Racist” is one of those emotion-laden terms that have cropped up in the language, used to frighten or intimidate people, or label them unfairly.

“Racist.” You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Why are some so touchy about the N-word?

Why are some so touchy about the NFL Washington Redskins?

Why can’t non-whites function in society without using race as a crutch?
