Racism Quiz


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

There is very little question, in my mind, that those of us who are not a minority see the world with very different eyes.

We should be respectful of Warren Moon's perspective. that is in my opinion. He has lived a life we have not, both inside the NFL and outside.

Years ago, when working in DC, I had lunch with one of my peers who is an African Amercian.

The TV was on in the restaurant and it happened to be yet another time when DC's former mayor, Marion Berry, was being arrested.

i asked my peer what she thought of this situation, and she gave me a totally unexpected answer.

She said: 'it is difficult to be part of a race that is consistently judged by it's lowest element'.

This Lady was immaculate in dress, in professionalism, in kindness, has a Master's degree, and she was telling me, in her way, that none of those things mattered.

The conversation has stayed with me all my life.

It does not hurt anyone to see the world through others eyes and to open your own eyes to what they see and experience.

I heard many things said, for example, about Ben R. One thing that was not said, was that he was a 'thug'. For Cam Newton, a very young man, with no history of violence, that word seems to gets used quite a bit. Why? Think about it.

I understand what you want to say here. But sorry, there's nothing worthy of respect about accusing a guy of racism without good reason.

Just the opposite in fact. In doing this, Moon is practicing the very ignorance he's accusing Nawrocki of.

I ave loads of respect for Warren Moon and everything that he accomplished, but not for this. This is wrong.

I'm gonna say something that is going to sound like a joke (and it kinda is) but there is a point I'm trying to make...why cant we just hate everyone equally??? What the hell do I mean by this? If you are walking down the street and see a group of black kids being loud and obnoxious and say, "Damn I cant stand those kids". Someone would look at you and say OMG what a racist thing to say? Now, same guy walks down the street and sees a group of white kids being loud and obnoxious and says, "damn I can't stand those kids" someone would look at you at say OMG your right!!!

The problem in this country isn't that we hate one race or another but that we aren't allowed to hate everybody equally. Or a better word would be to judge them equally. This is obviously because there are still racist people in the world, and not just Warren moon racist but like hill Billy KKK racist. I heard a guy on playstation network say some stuff that made me cringe. Back to my original point...Mr Scott is right...if someone doesn't like Newton they say hr may be racist but if they say the same or worse about Ryan Mallet it's just brushed off as correct. What's the difference here? No one gets all up in arms about Mallet comments.

Why can't we hate everyone the same?

Oh and to the point made about stereotypes and black QB's being compared to each other...what about every white receiver being compared to other white receivers. Like Eric Decker last year, everyone kept saying wow he reminds me of Ricky proel...or a smaller slot receiver reminds everyone of Wes welker. But nobody cries, nobody cares...nobody wants to say anything about it. Why can't we live in a world that isn't afraid to offend someone based on a honest opinion.

:yesnod:

That is called a fact, not a race card.

It may be a fact, but that doesn't change anything. Something happened to you because you are white. Pointing out that race was the primary reason for what happened is playing the race card.

2, 5, 7, 12, and 13 are my picks for the black players. I can't tell which one is the Mexican, as there was no mention of taking a siesta, nor Home Depot...

I'm racist against the human race... lol

You're also a bad guesser :lol:

Only one of those you pegged is correct, so eight misses.

We now have a three way tie for the worst performance.
