Being Prejudice On White Men?

[Anonymous]

I totally agree. I think affirmative action should really be based on circumstance, not purely on race. Affirmative action aside though, it really is hard to just let the past go and say ok we can start over because these things aren't going on anymore. Reality is though there is still alot of racism out there and there's alot of race bashing from all sides. Nonetheless things are getting better in the U.S. as far as race relations go, and we just happen to be part of the post civil-rights movement generations that's stuck between the intense racism of the past and hopeful equality in the future. Alot of it has persisted because we encourage it with stereotypes, racial jokes, movies, etc. That, and we have to stop being so damn afraid of eachother, acting like just because somebody is different than you. Just because he's black, mexican, white, chinese, japanese, korean, eskimo, w/e doesn't mean he can't appreciate and enjoy the same music, sports, movies, books, etc. that you do and vice versa, that goes for everybody.

Just to finish things off, I noticed somebody metioned that line of equality between men and women. It really is rediculous how sensitive these laws against sexual harassment are getting. Men, do you realize how much power women have just because they're women. Just the other day a girl in my class was like "Girl's can just say he raped me, that's power." Then she gave us an example of what she'd say and I have to admit, it sounded pretty damn convincing. Over here in California there was a story of a group of girls that came forward after accusing a man of rape, getting him convicted, and then after he served eight months in jail they come forward saying it was all made up. You know why they made it up? Because one of the girls broke curfew and she didnt want her mom to know she was with her boyfriend so she tears up her clothes and says a man tried to rape her. Holy shit. One more thing, guys have you noticed the declining men's role in the media? Just to site one example, in family sitcoms who's always the dumbass of the family? Is it the dad or the mom? I rest my case.
