Why do some people say I am racist?

a reply to: TrueBrit

is to reduce every ridiculous element of terrirtorialism and bias, to one ape flinging scat at another, while complaining at the scat flinging of its target.

I find it extremely unfortunate at those who do not see it from that POV. Especially at those who feel the need to use violence to get their message across.
I appreciate your response. You are a most respected member.
How did your troubles go through with that accusation from a gay man...? if you don't mind my asking.

Your comment is racist; you are discriminating against entire races.

So I should have sex with someone I am not attracted to so as not to discriminate?

Really?

No.

I just object to the blanket statement and reserve my right to care in the future should I change my mind.

This IS racist.
You are saying Blacks or Asians are unattractive. That is an absurd and derogatory generalization based on race alone.

Were you being sarcastic?

If not, you need to re-evaluate your views. The OP says he is not attracted to black or asian women, NOT that black and asian women are not objectively attractive.

I do not find Serena Williams attractive. This does not mean she is objectively unattractive, just that I do not find her to be attractive myself.

Seriously, what is going on with this world...?

a reply to: NateTheAnimator

I appreciate your sentiments. Thank you.

Things went badly for us. The business we had was liquidated in the end, because the costs awarded to the fraudster were...a lot.

I have had to start my own business, to cover the loss of my mothers company, and continue to provide for myself and my people. Its all a little harrowing at the moment, because I am suffering symptoms of depression including, but in no way limited to mood swings, attention retention problems, bouts of extreme fatigue, hopelessness and the like. Pretty much the only reason why I have not turned myself over to the authorities to be placed under the care of psychiatric doctors until such time as I am not broken, is that I am utterly terrified of the consequences. I am looking at never being able to afford to retire as it is, and have had the last ten years of progress taken away from me. If I start taking time away from myself, I will not even be able to afford to damned well die.

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

When I say I am not sexually attracted to black or asian women I am considered by some people to be racist. I mean seriously, how the f**k is this considered to be racist? Its a sexual preference. I cant help it if I am not attracted to them. Its just ridiculous.

Or when black people sing songs about the glorious size of a woman's butt and how they dislike the small butts or, they call people in their songs 'n-word's but vote democrat.

That you don't find Black or Asian women attractive that's ok by me..i'll take em, I'll take all women in the kaleidoscope , U do U, but what could be racist is your insinuation that's all there is to "Black music" is 'n-word's and butts which I don't mind btw depending on a particular day or feeling or situation, but if that's all you listen to ,well that's just U! dude .. but to insinuate that's all there is well that's just ignant if not racist.

Nothing about Big butt or Nigs here.

And I know there are plenty of music like this around.

Just throw that ^ in for good measure..

lol explain how this is racist? He can't help what he is and isn't attracted to. Just because you aren't attracted to something doesn't mean you hate it.

I have no interest in listening to jazz; does that mean I hate it? No. It just means it doesn't excite me.

a reply to: TrueBrit

OMG!?

That's #ing terrible!
I seriously only wish the best in your future endeavors friend!
I suggest you take time to spend with family and friends. It will make all the difference for your overall mental health.
The fraudster will get his own consequence in life. You may not hear about it but he'll get his.

Good God almighty!! You lot really LOVE to throw around the words racist and hate to just about any post!
The whole meaning of these words is now lost in the mire of pc stupidity
The Op never said he "hated" black or asian women
The flower preference analogy is quite accurate its all about taste ffs!

a reply to: NateTheAnimator

Thank you for your kind words on the matter Nate.

I appreciate the thought immensely. And as you say, eventually consequence will find the fellow, as surely as lightning finds the ground. The certainty of that is one of the linchpins of my collapsing sanity at the moment!

Cheers!

Oh, TrueBrit!

I wanted to cry when I read that! The injustice of it all! I haven't been on ATS much lately & hadn't seen the outcome.
A pox on the buttocks of that lousy excuse for a human being!

That you already started another business is remarkable! You must have great determination!
That's a trait of a successful person!
You were swept up on a wave of misfortune & were able to grab onto some flotsam!
Is there some way to make sure you are protected now?

Have you ever written for profit? With your eloquence of the written word, you should do really well! Write a book about your experience!
Write some articles for magazines, start a blog...

I truly believe things happen for a reason.
I'm old as dirt & have seen it happen many times! Something so discouraging happens, but turns out to be the path to something so much better! We just can't always see the big picture.

And just to have some semblance of staying on topic...I find your writing style very attractive!
Reading your posts, is like relaxing on pillows in a canoe, with a good book, on a gentle lake. Carried away by the written word!
And I love your accent!

Good luck with everything & remember, success is the best revenge!

WOQ

Same here buddy. I can not watch porn with black people in it. Also, Asian American women irk the crap out of me. But, Asian women born and raised in an Asian country are totally hot.

But that's just me.

Really since when has failing to rise to the occasion been racist

The madness of political correctness

a reply to: TrueBrit

True Brit I have fallen and risen more than a couple of times, have to admit some of it is due to my own failings for not seeing it coming when I should have, sometimes we put trust in people with no honor, but I think that the warnings were always there, it might be a small tingle in your gut we chose to ignore in view of the reward to come.
Dust yourself off and bounce back True Brit focus on your next move without even thinking about him, that mfkr will get his, the overly greedy usually do.

I don't think that racist equates hate. One can be racist...adamant about it being segregated to one's own race preferentially, but not exhibit hatred.

I am just postulating...'could be completely wrong...

Hey! Me? I love every-damn-body! And ALL women!

Racist equates with hate, having a preference is not however racist or hateful, I prefer a certain bodylicious type , that do not however equate to race as any female who have that bodylicious type will be my first pick, still that don't mean that those who don't can't be buds and hangout..who knows too much of a good time getting drunk and we could wake up next to each other and be like....we didn't do anything right??:

Marcus is right, you are an idiot.

a reply to: Spider879

I have a thought to ponder.

What-say-you....if you were totally blind? Presented that way...looks wouldnt matter. Neither I'd imagine may be body type as well. How would that work?

"Hello. Can I feel your hips and your.....to see if youre my type?"

To all the woman in the world...and men...we shouldnt be so visual, but we are. And thats sad. It should be in a persons attitude and soul on the inside...and not on outward looks alone and "types".

I remember a game show called "The Dating Game" right? Behind a screen..ask a question or two...then pick one to date. Sight unseen...

Well off course my preferred body type is going to get my attention first , however the deeper stuff such as emotional maturity ,habits etc can be a deal maker or breaker, and yes I have dated women not in my bodylicious type because they were genuine, caring and fun loving.
I remember seeing the flick on Ray Charles who was blind as a bat but who would choose his female companion by feeling their wrist .

Indeed we are.

We are all shaven apes with delusions of grandeur. That's an over simplification, but its healthy to laugh at the stupidity of it all, and the best way I have found to do that, is to reduce every ridiculous element of terrirtorialism and bias, to one ape flinging scat at another, while complaining at the scat flinging of its target.

Too funny to even comment on at the moment
