White Men Can't Jump
Black Men Can't Swim
Which concept could possibly get made as a film...?:eek:
???
Eric the Eel went to the Olympics and won his heat (only because everyone else got disqualified so he had to swim on his own )
Still he's a winner :cool:

** Meant in good humour towards any white people on boards:eek:
When I was born, I was black,
When I grew up, I was black,
When I'm sick, I'm black,
When I go out in the sun, I'm black,
When I'm cold, I'm black,
When I die, I'll be black,
But you,
When you're born, you're pink,
When you grow up, you're white,
When you're sick, you're green,
When you go out in the sun, you go red,
When you're cold, you go blue,
When you die, you'll be purple,
And you have the nerve to call me colored!

In fairness I've seen black writers refer to actresses or singers and such as "women of colour".
Women of colour are black only? They've obviously never seen a traveler confirmation or wedding.0 -

And I have witnesses white people being racist to black people without any consequences.
This argument is the sort of whataboutery ****e that gets spouted over on Stormfront and other racist sites, tbh.
I don't really like the whole 'privilege' thing but it has its roots in common sense. If you feel victimised for being a white person in Ireland, that's probably about 0.00001% of what a non-white person experiences over the course of growing up in Ireland. I don't know anyone black or Asian who hasn't experienced some sort of racism on a regular basis, whether it's overt (people used to tell the Indian girl in my class in primary that her skin was covered in poo) or less obvious (being followed around by a security guard in a shop). I think a lot of white people seem clueless about this. I was volunteering in Africa and one of the group, who would be one of those 'racism goes both ways' types, was complaining about how self-conscious she felt as a white person in the village because she stuck out like a sore thumb. I said 'yeah, this is 4 weeks and you're whining. Imagine how a black person living in Ballyarseendofnowhere feels every day of his life?'
