Flagrant prejudice towards black men being permitted on TSR.

Here's a quote from one of thousands of threads which are just filled to the brim with prejudice towards black men.
Original post by AbsoluteAnarchy
There are many things I've come to dislike about the majority of black guys...1. They act immature and irresponsible.2. They have bad grammar and lack of knowledge/poor grades.3. Their thoughts are only ever about sex/sports/trainers/alcohol.4. They have that hairstyle that looks like a topknot with shaved sides.5. Violent. Sometimes scarily so.There are others, but I thought I'd leave it there. Again, I'm not saying all black guys act like this; I'm just speaking from experience... :smile:

How is this acceptable? It's a blatant prejudice.

Ah, wait, no...I get it. It's because that's not what she said.

The difference is practical, not moral. The addition of one word would send some progressives into an apoplectic fit, yet the omission of that one word has a number of progressives gathering around eager to agree with every single word of her prejudicial rant.

How can these people justify such an inconsistent and hypocritical application of morality?

Of course, it doesn't end there. Their hypocrisy is endemic.

Men who want to see their daughters or female loved ones would be able to go and visit, or take them out like a library book, and then bring them back." Julie Bindel, Guardian author.

I could literally be here all day. Every single day I read or hear what would, in any other context, be labelled the worst type of prejudice, or be all over the front pages of the BBC.

So, your point is you want to personalise the thread and make it all about me rather than address what's on display?

Meh, whats on display is the hypocrisy of femenists who cry misogny all the time but are the leading party in the acts of sexism in which they not only victimise themselves but also show a great level of misandry.
Everybody knows it but not many care i guess.
It's only TSR, who actually cares what the keyboard warriors on here think? My black ass sure doesn't
I've been on here for years and have come across a fair share of ignorant stereotypes about black men. I myself will never judge a race on a whole based on fallacious stereotypes. We're all individuals who act differently at the end of the day.

You did read the whole post, right?
I can't for the life of me remember the name of the woman who said this, but this felt relateable:

*situation is feminists protesting and holding banners/screaming men are the enemy etc. etc. and the woman approaches the police who are doing nothing*

"if those posters/signs said black/gay/jewish you would arrest those people, how come you won't now?"

I have no idea what's going on here... I keep getting notifications from you. What are you saying? Why are you involving me in this thread? I don't remember posting anything here in particular...

Hi. I'm highlighting your prejudice for what it is.

He's quoting you and calling you out on what you said being sexist, in the same way that if you changed "men" to "black people" it would be considered racist

Ahh. I get it. Thank you very much. :smile:
I suppose I should point out a couple of things here:
1. I was relentlessly bullied by people like those I've described.
2. I didn't say all men were like that; just the majority of those I've encountered.
3. I don't have much faith in my own gender either. You should see some of the girls at my college...

I don't really think what you're saying is particularly bad, it's a bit ignorant but I don't think you actually believe that most men are like that. It's just that if you say the exact same thing about other groups, such as women, it's seen as much worse. It's the hypocrisy of society's views at the moment that bugs me, when some groups are seen to be entitled to more then others simply because of the way they were born.

I've probably had bad luck when it comes to meeting people and making friends. I know not all guys are like that; one was very sweet and helped save me from my depression.
Then again, it's hard for me not to hold a grudge. I put up with years of being laughed at and being called horrible names; those boys shattered my self-confidence and they made me cry. Is it surprising that I hold such views?

If you disliked women because a group of them made your life miserable, then I'd understand your reluctance.

It's when people hate others without a good reason; that's what upsets me.

So, now you hate men?
In gist, what you're justifying is racism. If I happen to have a bad experience with a group of black men, and that bad experience is consistent, according to your logic I have a free pass to extrapolate my hatred for those men to the entire black population.

Let's just take everything you've just typed, and switch the context. Hopefully it will highlight how insanely prejudicial you are. I've genuinely got no idea how you can't see it.

You're justifying your 'hate' (your word) towards a massive group of people following an experience with a tiny minority of those people.

How can people still get away with this in this day and age? The immensely ironic part is that progressives tell us we're moving into a progressive age. In reality, we're just reversing prejudices and behaving as deplorably as we always have. In the same way racism was socially acceptable when expressed towards black people before the 1960's, it's now socially acceptable to express hatred towards the all-encompassing label 'men.'
