No, it depends on the context. A single word is rarely enough to know the opinion.Therefore everybody who says the word nigger is racist.
It would be racism to believe black people are racially unable to be racist.Even the black people who say it.
Explain me the funny in that joke.I've used the term "nigger" before in the past just a sort of joke without even knowing what it meant.
To eradicate some words is not to eradicate racism. Words in themselves can be used for good or for bad. It's the way you use them.I never use the word seriously any more because I understand how wrong it is.
But you just said you treat non english people living in england different from english people!I treat any race of people the same as anybody else. I am in no way a racist.
England is being invaded. In some years time, there will be more non-english people in England than english people and there's plenty of data to prove it.
You keep on defending racist ideas, that does make you a racist.Again, I once said something racist, that doesn't make me a racist.

Well, maybe not joke. More of just rhetorical impersonation. Aka: "Wazz'up nigger!?". It's not meant to be offensive, it's just typical 'gangsta speak'.zwzsg wrote:Explain me the funny in that joke.
The word itself is a evolved form of "nergo" and so on and dates back to the slave trade era where it was used as a derogatory term for slaves. I never knew the history behind it then and why people called each other that.zwzsg wrote:If a single word is enough to make you laugh, it's either because it pronunciation sounds funny, or because you have attached to it meanings that makes you giggle (such as the word penis). Henceforth, you lie when pretending you didn't know what it meant.

Indeed. But using racial slur makes people think you're racist which I don't want people to think.zwzsg wrote:To eradicate some words is not to eradicate racism. Words in themselves can be used for good or for bad. It's the way you use them.

I'm not defending racist ideas. I'm defending the legitimate policies the BNP have. If you find anything racist in the BNP's policies, point it out and I'll be happy to accuse it instead of defending it.zwzsg wrote:You keep on defending racist ideas, that does make you a racist.
Islam is not a race, it is a religion.forest_devil wrote: deporting people of the Islamic race is racist
If there was no decent reason, the BNP wouldn't care would they. There are many reasons why I and the BNP are against Islam, as are many people.forest_devil wrote: either way its still discriminating and hating people for no decent reason
Racism is the discrimination against a certain race. That's why it's called racism. Discrimination isn't always a bad thing.Peet wrote:That is a really dumb argument. Discrimination based on religion, nationality, and ethnicity are usually all called racism. Even if it technically doesn't fit the dictionary definition of racism it is still a form of discrimination very similar to that based upon racism, and is still invariably immoral.
Now what does that have to do with immigration?SpikedHelmet wrote:If you're really against immigration then do us a favour, go around your house and chuck out every single piece item you can find that wasn't made in Britain, and see how easy your life is without the rest of the world.
I'm not even going to read the rest because now you're just making up your own statements and beliefs. I couldn't care less about the number of black people in my country. People seem to think the reason I vote for the BNP is because of immigration alone. As I said, I don't support the BNP because of their stance on immigration. I support them because I agree with 90% of their policies which nobody seems to be arguing against?SpikedHelmet wrote:Now you claim you're not racist, but you and the BNP seem to have based your politics on the fact that there are more brown people around than you'd like.

Ok, so there's a few definitions of "discrimination".Peet wrote:Sums up your point of view nicely. You can stop talking now.Jazcash wrote:Discrimination isn't always a bad thing.
People shouldn't associate religion with a particular race definitively. Agreed that some religions are based mainly upon a particular race. However, most religions can apply to any race and therefore, anybody of any race can belong to one of those religions.Neddie wrote: TL;DR - People use racial, that is to say ethnic, prejudice to establish grounds for the practice of religious prejudice. This is particularly evident in the rhetoric and activities of those aligned against Islam and Judaism.

Maybe if you'd read the rest you'd know.I'm not even going to read the rest
More accurately, a trait that is perceived to belong only to that group, which is the crux of prejudism. You don't hate brown people because they're brown, but because you believe all brown people act a certain way (are terrorists/criminals/thugs/terk yer jerb/etc), which ultimately results in the same thing, which you're trying to avoid by playing semantics with definitions.When I talk about discriminating, I mean treating an individual or group of people differently because of trait that belongs only to that group or individual.
Very much so. But only because that's the way the mind works.Neddie wrote:Jazcash wrote:Neddie wrote: The point of my earlier statement is to clarify that while an anti-Islam stance is ostensibly an expression of religious prejudice, in practice it usually manifests in ethnic prejudice at a lower level.
