Nabbagad Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 This isn't racist, the skit is not about them being black - The face paint was just part of the costume. Nobody would understand what was going on if they didn't have proper costumes. The morons suggesting that this is racist single out the Jackson 5 for being black, YOU'RE the racist.Exactly that's the way I see it. The fact that they can see something racist about it means they thought of something to make it racist, meaning they are the ones thinking the racist thoughts (hard to explain what I mean but I think I made my point). Next thing you'll know it'll be racist to wear a beret and talk in a french accent...

mlclm Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I understand why its unfair in the literal sense that you can't make a college fund for whites. But the reasoning behind why funds go to underprivileged hispanic or black students is because... they're underprivileged. If population A has better schools, supplies, teachers, and campus safety than population B, wouldn't some funds be better of in population B? And its not even like its given randomly. The college funds are for students who come from poor homes who made it through the crap that they live through but wouldn't have enough money to make it out anyways. So you say some poor white students could benefit from those funds too? Yea, but as a majority whole, white students are helluva better off.But that reasoning is reliant on (false) assumptions. Not all blacks/hispanics are underprivileged. Not all white families have money coming out the [wagon]. Assuming population A is made up of whites and population B is made up of blacks is just as racist as telling a black guy to go home to his purple drank and watermelons. I agree people should be given funds for college if they're underprivileged, but assuming that because someone is black, they're underprivileged, is wrong. As is the idea behind foundations like the United Negro College Fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
