I think people are oversensitive when it comes to racism towards black people, while at the same anti-white racism goes unnoticed. And it does exist, SRK is a good exemple. Hence why I rarely come into these threads it makes me mad as fuck.
After reading the article this is all bad. I’ve heard nigga-rig from black people and jerry-rig from white people. The term is supposed to mean to make something that’s functional but not up to proper standards, where’d he get “AfroAmercian-ized” from? Am I the only person that pictures Black Dynamite when I see that word(AfroAmercian-ized)?
What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me I just can’t walk up to random black people and discuss video games, comic books, cartoons and anime? That SRK houses a mystical breed of black people who’ve kept the same hobbies since they were 7 years old? Lies. Lies and slander.
So hes racist and bad with his money? Sounds like he works in the right sector. Now that he’s been clued in to his racism I bet hes regretting the time/resources spent on those ‘charity’ projects. What a sucker.
I do not take issue with the phrase ‘nigger-rigging it’ because I take it as an idiom or synonym in the lines of ‘white trash repairs’ (blasphemy!). But his replies of “Afro-Americanized” and “I have black friends” are a different story.
True. If there’s anything we white people hate, it’s the suggestion that we are not the awesomest thing going. Case in point: the white chick who published an editorial in the Wall Street Journal condemning affirmative action programs because she was unable to get into the school of her choice.
Our primary source of cognitive dissonance–outside of the conflict between how much we care about humanitarian causes and the utter decadence of the social circumstances we cheerfully immerse ourselves in–is the knowledge of our flaws versus the deeply internalized idea that our problems couldn’t possibly be our own fault.
Now, I’m not suggesting that this is an exclusively white thing. I’m just saying that we’re the ones who cultivated it into high art.
