White people being the victims of racism!? That's impossible...

shut up

5 bucks says the white guy gets off.

I'm not sure what a man's sexual climax has to do with anything, Mono.

But I'll take that bet.

People are realising they don't want to be controlled anymore. The generations before us are too obedient to the chairmen and do not understand why the violence and outburst?

Currency and religion is ruining the world. Prepare for self-destruct.

If anything, people are more controllable than ever. Our political system is proof of that.

Might be different for you folks down under; if so, power to you. We're lazy, apathetic nihilists who refuse to change our situation.

Quote:

Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.

The Unquiet Grave
Cyril Connolly (1903-1974)

I only know that quote because I read it from the SC2K manual.

You know, that was back when games had manuals and you would, like, read them, and stuff, and they said cool things in a conversational tone.

This is also why the FF VII Versus guide goes for $100.

Cute quote, but here's one that's horribly credited that applies to your last line:

"There's a sucker born every minute"

Tell me what you do for a living again.

Tehra · **Posted:** Sat Aug 13, 2011 7:27 pm

I don't have a title right now. there was a promotion in april, and yesterday my review came down the pipe. i've done support, implementation, qa, system design and redesign while maintaining compatibility, restructuring organizational process flows, datamining design, client communications, etc.

or, simply put, "Difficult problem?" "Ask Greg".

for example, SysAdmin speaks to CTO on Wednesday about a need for a new method of tracking database manipulation between versions now that releases are being developed concurrently. CTO: "Ask Greg". SA comes to my desk, asks, and 5 minutes later has a napkin with a diagram and process flow. CTO: "Sigh, he had an answer already? Ok, I'm signing off on that, but I need it on something other than a napkin."

so what do I do for a living? Design and fix things.

I was referring to your professional background as a guy who sells people really expensive clothing as opposed to $40 outfits.

Poor comparison. I actually deliver on what I promise for minimal expense, time and with existing tools.

There also seems to be some confusion, since I got IM'd overnight about this misinformed comment.

I have worked as a salesperson, in high school & college. I also didn't "sell" when I was a salesperson. I don't convince people to buy things they don't need, I help people with their questions. Two different mentalities, especially if I'm telling people to go elsewhere.

The closest thing I've done related to clothing was working for a company that manufactured and sourced shoes and handbags in China. I was their Director of IS/IT.

racism on one side does not discount racism on the other.

Ya. I just figured I'd drop the link since there are some knuckle-draggers around here that think white people (or the majority) can't be targets of racism.

I reiterate

Quote:

Racism extends considerably beyond prejudiced beliefs. The essential feature of racism is not hostility or misperception, but rather the defense of a system from which advantage is derived on the basis of race. The manner in which the defense is articulated - either with hostility or subtlety - is not nearly as important as the fact that it insures the continuation of a privileged relationship. Thus it is necessary to broaden the definition of racism beyond prejudice to include sentiments that in their consequence, if not in their intent, support the racial status quo.

Racism is a process whereby one group (vaguely defined) has oppressed all those not in that group. This functional definition is careful to avoid describing any specific belief or thought. Racism is a sociological process. It is defined (if that is the proper term) as the entirety of what allows one group to dominate another. It also avoids the word race entirely in describing racism.

Racism CANNOT exist in a Black-on-white setting in a White-principled based society like ours. It might be bigotry or prejudice, but it sure as hell ain't racism.
