Are racists sexual perverts?

Ummmm...ok? Sure, we know racists are screwed up, and their racism is usually a symptom of larger mental issues. So, I guess that sexual hangups could also easliy be a part of it....*shrugs* Racists can't do nothin right!

 

Time not well spent

to look down at the corpse that was once I
and hear said
who went there did waste his time
time not well spent
and did die a loners death
without knowing love and being loved
and filled with emptiness of cups unfilled
and watch the feast of preceived lesser men
who
knew what life did mean and did spend
their days in knowing friends and love
and time without end...

Another case of generalizations gone wrong.. how about wrongfull stereotyping?

There are homophobes and homophòbes, as well as there are racists and ràcists.

 

And what's the difference, besides the accent?

 

You figure that one out :)

hint: Not all homophobes or racists are extremists (the ones with the accent are).

 

That doesn't make me one of the either though! ..little joke :P

 

I am a bit skeptical of generalisations, however...

If I recall correctly, of the thousands of racially motivated lynchings in the US, not a single one occurred without either a sexual assault on the victim, or mutilation of the victims genitals.

and you are talking about the extremists there.

 

No argument here.

Good, since the conclusion that should be made is: racist people who lynch also make sexual assaults, not racists make sexual assaults.

 

Who says the US holds such a special position? Didn't history teach you that the Dutch sailed all around the world, also bringing people home for slavery?

Nazis having sexual intercourse outside marriage in graveyards, Hitlers sexual deviations? No, never heard of those. I DO know that hitler is believed to have had a sexually transmitted disease (wasn't it syphilus?) which caused his madness (as some of the other big rulers have had).

Origin of racism is NOT distored sexuality and violence in the family. Tell me how that is linked to not liking other races?

I can tell you that racism is cultivated by perceived inequalities. From personal experience I have seen racism expressed in the form: "blacks are taking our jobs and should go home to their own country" or "blacks are criminals and should go find a job".

In the first example personal well being is endangered by the perceived invasion of other racial groups (by immigration) and in the second example by perceived criminal behaviour of other racial groups.

Doesn't have anything to do with sexual natures of any kind.

 

btw, blacks in the example aren't african americans for whoever would go against the use of the word black.

 

I think Booda's talking about the racist white males being afraid of the black male's mythological 'sexual prowess'...

 

It may be a particularly American idea, probably starting back in the days of slavery, when big muscular black men labored in the field, while the weak pasty white landowners sat around getting fat and lazy...that somehow there is a primal sexual something or other about black men(and their gigantic genitalia) that makes some white males feel sexually inferior.


Or something like that...

 

But black men don't walk around showing off their bananas, do they? Seriously, I am very surprised by that reasoning. It definately isn't an argument for racism here in Europe.

 

LOL< I don't really understand it myself...but you can see it in the (possibly stereotypical) behavior of many American racists...the need to protect the 'innocent white women' from being corrupted by the 'potent jungle sexuality' of black men.

 

I think I am going to stay away from black men myself jk ofcourse.. 'potent jungle sexuality of black men'

 

LMAO!!

I never said it was a sane or healthy viewpoint...just that it seems to exist.

I think another aspect of racism and sexuality is that some men only feel masculine when they can feel superior to others. They may beat their wives, or be rude to subordinates at work, or harbor racist attitudes in order to feel manly.
