You say you don't respect black people...Robert<br /><br />You say you don't respect black people but your actions go aganist your claims. The fact that you talk about us so much shows to me that you do respect black people. I dare say your obsessed with us. <br /><br />Why are you on this blog ?<br /><br />The fact is like it or not, we are on your radar, in your thoughts, in your feelings.<br /><br />We have got into your head.<br /><br />You go to great efforts writing essay after essay about us.<br /><br />You don't do that to someone who you don't respect.<br /><br />I have no respect for rats therefore I would not even waste my breath on them. The fact that you spend so much time talking about us, in my opinion, makes me think that you feel inferior to black people. As most white people do.Petehttp://www.sportinglife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4337699893139533392.post-32704232937250328912010-01-31T12:01:26.188-08:002010-01-31T12:01:26.188-08:00You comment is immature and shouldn't be even ...You comment is immature and shouldn't be even published.

I really enjoyed this comment of yours.
A...Thanks! I really enjoyed this comment of yours.<br /><br />A few things. First of all, why do you need our respect. I will be dead in 30 years, and I'm sure we still won't respect you then. Why fight for what's not coming? Lately, I have seen some Blacks on the Net saying, "I don't care WHAT White people think of us!" Indeed. At some level, who cares! Why must Blacks supplicate themselves at our feet, as a slave to his master, of all things? How will Whites respond to this? The same way that an overlord responds to the obsequiousness of a servant. Will respect be forthcoming? Dubious.<br /><br />When I said we don't disrespect the other races, well, we are racist towards them, sure. But do we disrespect them deeply, at an absolute racial level? I don't really think so. White can be racist towards even races we respect. It's a dog eat dog world out there, and we ain't sharing with no one. About the Indians, they are seen as pitiful and Whites do typically profess guilt and regret for our treatment of them. But do we hate them? No more than a straight man hates lesbians. Amerindians are not relevant to our world, so we neither hate nor love them. We are simply indifferent towards them, and do some extent, we even cater to them to make up for the past - see the casinos. <br /><br />It's hard to hate a pitiful race. How can you? Also, I think that Amerindians are very close to us racially. Of all the major races, Amerindians are closest to Whites. We like the races who are closest to us familially. Also, many Indians are quiet, inoffensive people. It's hard for Whites to hate someone like that.<br /><br /><br />Hispanics, well? They have LOTS of White in them. Many of them look like White people to one degree or another. So they are part of our racial family. They also act like us. In the Hispanic city I live in now, the Hispanics have formed exact correlatives of all of the White subgroups - bikers, hippies, punkers, emos, heavy metalers, Goths, you name it, all the way down the line. They even replicate our very sociological formations! I don't know why this is, but I think the fact that they have so much White in them might be part of it. They are like us racially, so they act like us too.<br /><br />You don't see this in Blacks. You go to a Black city and you don't see Blacks replicating all of the White sociological formations. <br /><br />Part of the problem has to be the great genetic distance between Blacks and Whites. Blacks just don't seem like they are like us at all. They're not part of our family. They are so distant, a lot of us almost struggle to see them as fully human. This must be part of it.<br /><br />But as I said in my piece, I don't care why we disrespect you at such a primal level. The debate is not about WHY. Otherwise, Whites will deny it or turn it back around and say Blacks don't deserve respect. Blacks will say yes we do. On and on, this debate will never end.<br /><br />So to me that's sidelining it. We should we respect Blacks? Because Blacks are human, hence deserving of respect. End of story. There's nothing more to discuss.<br /><br />But I would like to see this discussed more. I would like to see Barack stand up and say, "You know, Whites don't really respect Blacks." (If he could say it politically.) That would be a cool conversation! I'd love to see it in Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Obama says Whites don't respect Blacks! What would they say? The whole nation would swing into the debate. What would White people say? Deny it? Admit it and say here's why? <br /><br />This is the conversation we ought to be having, because so much of White-Black relations flows out from this simple point - we don't respect you. If we respected you, I think race relations would be so much better.Robert Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16213140951444357431noreply@blogger.com
