Your statement quoted a Councilwoman as saying "black people can not be racist".\n\nThis is a statement of arrogance and overzealous pride.  This is an opinoionated statement, not one based on fact.\n\nAfrican Americans can be racist, however it's a little complicated and all revolves around the definition of the word that is used in context with how it is intended.  In our society, it is called Reverse Racism.  Racism is the act of a majority putting down a minority (any minority...black, brown, red blue, green...you name it us human's have a colorful rainbow name for it, whatever it is)  Where as an African American can not be racist they can be guilty of Reverse Racism...which is a lesser crime in the eyes of the Federal Courts.  "No one really has time for that silly kind of argument", as one federal judge said about 10 years ago.  I happen to believe that racism is racism, let's not candy coat it here.  If it's good one its good for all.--sorry there went my Social political views, how dare I think about Socialism.\n\nNow a "white boy cop" as you refered a quote that was said, that is a definitive example of Reverse Racism, Gender Specific Slander and Job Title Related Slander.  One, it defines the --offender's--ethnic origin...two, boy denotes that male is not a man and therefore unable to properly do his job...three, cop is a derogitory term of police officer.  Cop is slang and is not proper.  While not every officer in America will take offense to the term, there are a select few who will, as they are not cops-they are Trained Police Officials who are employed by the city.  (Police are city, Deputies are county)  If this Councilwoman wishes to continue to be taken seriously by her fellow coworkers, not just the underlings below her that restore order and patrol crime, this Councilwoman needs to realize the error of her words and how she is counter productive to the movement she wishes to  better for the next generation.  If she is a Councilwoman, she is there because she was elected and represents the people of her area, which may or may not include those "white boy cops" as she so eloquently put it.\n\nThis Councilwoman needs to seriously take a look at what it is she is doing and why.  Please do me a favor and post some sort of contact for this Councilwoman's office and the local News Paper for this Councilwoman's area so that I might write her office a letter of complaint.  The squeaky wheel always gets the oil first before the quiet ones.\n\nAnd to state a response to another posters "very strange" report.  It is not very strange for an Officer to do their job, even if it means doing their job at 2 am.  If a vehicle is not in proper street condition, by that I mean legal so that it would pass an inspection, then the officer has the right to pull the offender over, state the nature of his involvement and has the ability and jurisdiction to give a ticket for the offense.  A single headlight on a vehicle that requires two by model specification is an infraction of the street legal law.and gives the Officer the jurisdiction and opportunity to pull a malfunctioning vehicle over.  It does not matter how the Officer saw the single headlight, it matters that it was seen.  Had the Officer seen the single headlight and not pulled the vehicle over, the Police Officer would be guilty of not properly doing his job.

I would be offended.I admit I find it funny,and sometimes I cringe.We shouldn't support it.If it was my race I would feel like everyone was laughing at me.It would feel the same as being bullied.

Well the simple fact that you actually feel the need to state your family race mixture is ridiculous, Why can we not ask valid questions in a mature and rational way without having to worry about "offending" anyone. The mere fact that you need to write a paragraph stating that you are not racist and merely asking a question, is racism on their part...A white person should be able to ask a simple question about another race and not been seen as a racist, but as of now everyone is racist to some extent. whether it be a good or bad assumption about a race. I have not seen any official lawsuits against an African American.vs.Caucasian but I am sure there are there...plenty of situations in my town would validate one.

to answer 1 and 3...if this joke involved ppl from london, italy, america...or any other presumable 'white' country...would you still say its a derogetory joke???  \nc'mon ppl...grow up and get a sense of humor.  just b/c someone is making a joke about a 'black' culture....does not mean that he's being derogatory or racist!

It's not offensive at all... They were not such a well-intended guys. Well, I'm from Romania and if someone asks me if i speak german.. i just say "no, i don't".

Sounds like someone pissed you off "alittle".I dont think like that and would never say any of those things-if you have a loud mouth then you just have a loud mouth isnt because your black thats ignorant!Whoever has got you feeling like this has accomplished their goal of pissin you off.And these type of questions actually promote more racism and problems ,you win by not letting it bother you in life(hard to do ,but once you do it you will never feel like this again because you are sure of yourself)By gettin upset and going off you are letting whoever is doing the hatin WIN!They want you to get upset ,mad and then hate and pass it on,and it goes on and on.Stop lettin them win ,and love no matter what and you are always going to com out on top.

Offensive.\n\nReported.

Absolutely.  I agree with the above answer that said that no where are you guaranteed the right to not be offended.  But to take it a step further, why does my doing, or not doing something get taken as an offense.  \nI think there is a serious epidemic outbreak of "Thin Skin," and the only cure is an injection of some good old-fashioned "Get Over It!"

that is a very racist thing to say\n\nI hope no one agrees with you...\n\nyou need to educate yourself before you start asking questions like this

No, you should never be offended. It just shows weakness and a lack of understanding on your part.

Here's a sincere answer:  No.  It has nothing to do with race.  Don't believe generalities like that when you hear them.

I'll be honest... putting a quote in the support to your argument where the source admits it was wrong is laughable.  And I'll also admit, I couldn't stay focused on the whole article, but you are aware that nothing in there indicates he was black?  \n\nI mean the issue is irrelevant to me, but i really just want to see if you're aware that you failed to make your point.  By raising this issue at all you point out that A) you are racist and B) you really don't get the teachings of Jesus.\n\nColor and race were issues that Jesus never would have focused on, but rather loving and understanding each other are.  And I think you'll find that if you don't use quotes from a radical organization with a defined, set agenda to support your case you may win over some people.

That's a rather racist statement in and of itself, don't you think? Don't make generalizations unless you are prepared to face this charge.
