    Default Family members and race survey...

    Most people here I suspect would say they are not racist.

    And mmm I don't think she'll mind but Perrianne has self identified as having racist views. So I'd like a to take a survey of the boards ideas on their own families.

    So here's the survey question:
    How many people in your extended family do you know of that have ideas about race that are similar to or more extreme than Perriannes?

    Tailfins has already mentioned that a few family are/were klan members. so that'd count as more extreme pretty much.

    In my family I really don't know of anyone who has a set negative attitude or harsh negative stereotyped views towards whites. Or thinks whites "have to prove themselves" etc..

    One of my good friends wives though does a have a negative attitude towards whites. Her default position is that whites are racist. And white men are especially so and generally arrogant. Those are the 2 stereotypes of whites that she carries around. Nothing else. known her for years. I saw some random racist attacks as a kid/teen but know people who grew out of the teen stupidity.

    But my family, i can't think of anyone whose known for generally disliking or general negative talk about whites. Or saying that all/most whites are fill in the blank, or who wish whites harm or that they would go away etc..


    Anyway. seriously i'm not trying to start anything. love peace and soul everyone.
    just wondering if other families here have that stray uncle or aunt...


    Perrianne my apologies if this offends you.

    Far more racism is alive and flourishing in the black community now than there is in the white community my friend.

    Everybody in my family pretty much sees the race issue as I do, two of my sisters choose to be far more tolerant and blinded to reality but I forgive them of their ignorance in the matter.
    My take is color doesn't matter--be a decent person I'll treat ya decently--choose to be scum I'll treat ya like scum. I am not usually gentle at all with how I treat scum and skin color doesn't have a damn thing to do with it , because I treat white scum exactly the same damn way. And with exactly the same amount of harshness.

    I can't think of anyone in my family that's racist.

    People get judged on an individual basis. And sometimes that happens quickly - if I see a kid walking around with his ass hanging out of his pants or looking like he fell face-first into my tacklebox, I'll write them off as a punk. Doesn't matter what race they are, punks are punks.

    I am offended by you misspelling my name!! Only one "r". Perianne.
    Joking, no offense.

    About the "racism" talk. I think you have done an appropriate thing by starting this talk. I don't consider myself a "stray aunt" by any means. Most of my friends fell the same way about some blacks. We also feel the same way about some whites.

    Maybe it's just the part of the country I live in, but I find MANY whites who feel the same as I do: give the blacks a chance, but have low expectations. Example: Obama.

    You might also notice, Rev, that my worse disgust is not for blacks. My worst is for Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and the like.

    My cousin Clayton was the leader of a KKK wing awhile back

    He's done some youtube vids..

    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Can't say I've family members, immediate or extended that are racists.

    Wait, my mother's brother married my aunt on LA, he became sorta racist, but we only saw him once. My parents were not happy with his talk.

    A former boyfriend's family would throw around the N word at dinner. I found it shocking and unsettling. I started staying away. We were not raised that way. No cursing either, btw.

    My own black "daddy" used the word regularly. Maybe it is where one is brought up.

    I'd say more "how" one is brought up, than where.

    I don't see why it matter if anyone has racist views. It's their own personal opinion. Some DP members are racist and sexist. Not to mention homophobic.
    I see no reason to castigate or "out" anyone for their viewpoints.
