So.. why is prejudice so bad when it's only a way to keep the community safe and happy and without delinquents? For example, a small village community bashing a man based on his one action and doing it because the man was grown there, in there conception of peaceful living, but now did an action transgressing those tacit rules and implying a great disobedience and an attack against those rules. And that extends to people of various colors and religions.

Xenophobia makes life really, really hard for the minorities who are discriminated against because of a tiny group of violent extremists. A little bit of prejudice is intelligent, but Donald Cerrone takes it to the next level where he's part of a bigger problem. And of course, fear breeds fear, and xenophobia makes both sides afraid of each other. Which in turn makes both sides more violent.

For example, it seems to me that the American public is (rightfully) terrified of the police, and the American police is (rightfully) terrified of the public. And it just seems to escalate, because both sides are increasingly afraid with each episode of violence, and thus increasingly prone to violence themselves.
 
No American terrorists?
How many presidents have we had..43, 44??

You generally can't take accusations of racism from black people seriously. I took Green's comments with a grain of salt and I like him far more than I do Cerrone.

makes sense. I mean what would black people know about racism? Only white people can tell if it's racist, I mean just ask them, hardly anything is racist, in fact racism barley excists. Except for racism against the hard working white man who has to overcome so many obsticles. (sarcasm)

On an unrelated topic, Glasgow is one of the worst cities I've ever visited. Edinburgh was nice, but there was a sort of tension in Glasgow I didn't like. All the bars we were in seemed like everyone had given up caring about life.

I love both cities, but you're absolutely right. An American accent in a Glasgow pub late night is not exactly seen as 'exotic,' or sexy, more like "I bet I could punch that poofda in the face and he won't do shiite" but don't let that discourage you from bar-hopping, just don't be a loudmouth when it gets into 2 am territory. Bar fights in Scotland get bloody faster than a UFC fight, and they almost never last 15 minutes.
 
I have gone through "cowboy country". Its like driving a Delorean into the clock tower and going back in time. So you cant blame him. Its just how that part of the country thinks. (for the most part) Doesn't make him a bad guy. I like cowboy. I LOVE how he fights!

Everyone is racist, it's human nature. And Cerrone is probably a good guy, he just doesn't think enough before he speaks sometimes.

Projecting much? Maybe you are a racist. But I'm not and a lot of the people I know are not.

100,000+ dead Iraqi citizens don't count...

We didn't want to kill them, we felt we owed it to them.

Tribe mentality kind of is. We as humans are expected to overcome it however many cannot.

Tribalism is different to racism, there's no innate human hatred of skin pigmentation, which was the point I ws refuting.

It's also pretty reasonable to attribute tribalism to socialization, but that's a whole different debate that I'm not willing to go into as it's not relevant to my original point.

Killing a bunch of people doesn't make you a terrorist. Terrorism is using violence to achieve a specific goal, based on motives that are based on politics, religion, economy and/or ideology.

Adam Lanza was just an insane person who killed a lot of people.

Now, if you go kill a bunch of black people in a church because you want black people out of America... you're a terrorist.

so then america invading iraq and killing people for the specific goal to control oil and politics in the region is a terrorist act? glad we can agree on that. I wish they would get rid of the term terrorist. It means to many different things to too many different people and most of the time its just used as a tool of political manipulation.
 
he wears a cowboy hat and has his name tattooed on his back. what did you expect?

What a silly comment. How is it human nature to be racist? Don't talk nonsense just because it makes you feel better about yourself.
 
Moral Victory said:
It's an instinct that used to serve us well early in history, to generalize is to protect yourself from repeating errors and similar threats, but racism has become more of a burden and isn't really meant for modern society.

Where in evolutionary history of the human species would racism have been beneficia (prior to imperialism)l? You can make an argument for tribalism and fear of outsiders because of possible danger from neighboring tribes, but skin pigmentation would not have factored in to this. During periods where any evolutionary developments to our behavior which you could argue still exists as tribalism, skin color amongst competing tribes would not have been a significant variable or contribution.

Islam isn't a race... being against the teachings of Islam does NOT make you racist.

retarded argument. i can make a random list of muslims who have been killed by U.S. soldiers or Blacks who have been killed by white Americans all of which would by significantly longer than yours. We really need to get this racist right wing element out of sherdog. it reduces the intelligence of and the intelligent discussions on this forum.
 
yeah w/e

just dont keep saying that cerrone
 
This is likely a perspective shared by many people who identify as cowboys.
 
those hosts are annoying as fuck but no the batman shooter wasn't a terrorist with political motivations.
 
I don't care. Even though I disagree with what Cowboy said, I just want to see him fight, why should we care about his views on islam ?
