tokyo Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by Topaze If I have to define eduation then we're really in trouble. Education of what??? That white men have to date black women otherwise they are racists? You know, you should have more pride and walk away when someone doesn't want to date you. There are plenty of others who will do and appreciate you. Are you aware that no other member of any ethnic minority here on LS is supporting your case? Link to post Share on other sites
GirlDown Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Originally posted by Topaze No it's not my belief it's at the core of the definition of racial discrimination treating people differently and excluding them based on race....PERIOD!! One more time...are we allowed to post links on here and quotes from other sites with links as there are MANY articles that will prove that this is not just MY definition and I would love to share them. dating is not an equal opportunity event because it is personal. definitions and articles don't prove how individuals should feel. treating people differently comes with the territory of all people. save it. the only one to discriminate here so far is you. apparently you are superior to all other people who are different from you in any and all ways since, according to you, it is okay to discriminate against anything as long as it isn't race. it doesn't count if it's not the colour of SKIN. i hate when people say this, but you really are just wrong. i am unsure why you insist on keeping this going. you still didn't answer the question "i don't date men, does that mean i discriminate against men?" or "what if i don't like blondes" or "what if i just freaking am attracted to something and NOT ATTRACTED TO SOMETHING ELSE?" you ignore things that prove you're just not getting it (in other words, things that make sense) and continue to think that you have the right to infringe on other's preferences. notice i said preferences, not prejudices. just because you say someone's a racist doesn't mean they are. some of these people said "i don't date blacks because i am not attracted to them." have you asked in return if they would reconsider that, if they meet a black person that they are attracted to? perhaps the answer would change, disproving your racist theory. no one is saying "I will never do this because it's wrong." They are saying they don't seek it out because it's not an interest. and even if the answer is different, who are you to give a shyt about it? you might make employers equal opportunity, but you're not going to do it with people. i do not date black men. i do not date redheads. i don't date women. if i was in a situation where i met one of these people and was attracted to him, of course i might give it a shot. but that has not happened, and i am not looking for it. i don't have any lesbians pissed off at me for not being "fair" yet...or redheads...or black men. just you. i would rather be mistakenly deemed a racist than compromise my right to decide what i want for own life just to soothe a wannabe martyr's ego.

Beth Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 http://www.loveshack.org/forums/guidelines/ http://www.loveshack.org/forums/guidelines/#external This is one of a couple of threads you have started on the same topic, and as always you have received the same, invariant feedback, to which you apparently do not agree. That is all right, of course, you must live your life as you see fit, and make the choices that seem right to you. But there is no further point in continuing a discussion where everyone is posting their same opinion multiple times and attracting negative posts from frustrated members who don't understand why you don't seem to be able to understand what they are saying, nor they understand what you are saying. This thread is closed. Above are links to our Guidelines which should answer your questions about posting external links. Link to post Share on other sites
