It's just used way too loosely. It's usually uneducated young people (and I mean like 7-14 year olds who's parents are awful and gave them iPads for their 5th birthday) who throw that word around/are quick to regurgitate it because it's a common term that's used nowadays

And I'm sorry but the media is getting the best of ALL of us. All the racist type-things that the news decides to publicize were happening just as much in 2009 as they are now. The media definitely has an agenda. They WANT us to get angry, we just need to accept the fact that racism will always exist and that EVERY race has racist/prejudiced people, and to all in all just treat others with respect and dignity no matter their skin color, sexual preference, etc.

Online especially, yes. Disliking a black person doesn't mean you're racist. Disliking them for [enter stereotype here] is.

It's becoming one of those unsolvable topics, and it's far worse now than ever before. I wasn't even online when I was teenager because I was far too busy enjoying life as a child. So few times have I been involved in any racial discussions, and if I'm honest, most of them are now perpetrated by me because I sign off atrl and discuss what I read on here to people. My black friends tell me to ignore everyone here (especially the black members) because you all sound incredibly ignorant. I have no choice but to agree since they have read these threads and are completely confused as to what your definition of racism is and how you're too sensitive about every minor issue. I however know not all members here are stupid but well..

Trent. This is in no way meant to defame you or hurt your feelings or whatever but just to set the record straight. You are a racist. Please stop spreading ignorance on this forum.

The thing is people here claim to be educated and extremely open-minded

Yet all I see are a bunch of hypocrites that will attack anyone who slightly disagrees with them.

So I don't really care what ATRL thinks about me, I'm just stating my point, I never directly insult anyone here, looking at this thread the amount of hate I got for asking one simple question.

Oh my God, shut up with your millenial priviledge.

This isn't about YOU! Stop belittling centuries of ongoing suffering just because you can't stand losing an argument. GET OVER IT and shut the hell up.

Are you really going to play the victim card when you have time and time again said ignorant things?

Don't get mad for being called out, either get a grip and reflect on your actions or stop complaining.

I'm sorry but I'm not racist, I remember saying awful things to some hive members here when I joined, but I was attacked in a 10x worse way being called mentally stable and ****.

Other than that I've been respectful and expressed my point of view. I know I troll but not when it comes to this.

Now get back to topic and stop talking about me.
