Anybody who complains about racism against white people is an idiot. Do you really feel unprivileged? We deserve all the shit we get for being elitist assholes all of our existence. Racism without power is all retort. Are you really that butt-hurt by a song? Try being a few shades darker for a day (especially in the South) and let me know all about the real racism you experience. Then let's see how fond you are of white people (as a whole, in general).
Stop responding to the OP. The purpose of this thread now is to purposely ignore him.
No, the purpose of this thread is to discuss sleeping in the nude. How do you sleep, Mojo? In a tin man costume, perhaps?
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
The only reason I don't sleep naked at Roo, or any festival, is that I'm afraid I would forget and stumble out of my tent naked while still in the remnants of whatever had my brain when I went to sleep. On the other hand, why am I worried about this? next time I get hot I'm stripping down.

Wow! Just WOW! I don't think I have ever read anything as ignorant as this on a music forum! OK, you are saying that anyone with white skin deserves some sort of retaliatory racism?
I am first generation American from Italian immigrants. My family has had NOTHING to do with any slavery or racism. Not all white people are well off. I know because me and my family are not. we grew up in poverty.
For you to straight up say that "we deserve all the shit we get" is just mind boggling that anyone could possibly think that way.
I don't sleep naked at fests because I know at some point I'll be zipping open windows and doors and kicking off covers because I'll be too hot.. helloooooo naked booty in the air!

Let's redirect this convo back to nakedness, please. A lot more fun. All colors welcome.
I love neckidness as much as the next guy. But that was a really ignorant statement that needs to be addressed. I was personally offended by that. And I don't get offended easily.

No, I'm not saying it's right but it's not institutionalized. It's not something to complain or get sensitive about. If you're going to get up-in-arms about racism, let's talk about ACTUAL racism- not racism against whites. That's absolutely ridiculous and disgustingly ethnocentric. I consider myself white, but I'm definitely not ignorant.
Sorry to everyone else for continuing this, but I had to respond. Don't sleep in the nude, but I love hearing all about it

Honey, darling...all racism is bad mmmmkaaayyyyyy! Should we tell anyone who appears white, that travels here from another country that they must also pay for the sins for other people?

Both of you need to think more before you speak.
I can understand you saying that her for making such an statement, but why me?

Another thing about this statement, is that it assumes that all whites are rich, elitist and racist. Make sweeping generalizations much? Such a small mind to say something like that.
If you have white skin, you benefit from it every day, whether you recognize it or not, and whether you're rich or poor. To complain about racism directed at whites, given that, is completely asinine
For the love of god. rac·ism ?r??siz?m/Submit noun the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
People have prejudices. Almost everyone, and the key to being an adult is learning from your wrong assumptions. If I hear this being called racism one more time I'm just going to assume the person is an idiot.

I'm also a first generation American. My family was pretty damn poor when they got here from Ukraine in 1979. That doesn't mean I am absolved of the responsibility of being a member of American society. The fact of the matter is discrimination happens every day in every state (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). It's very easy to take your position that you shouldn't suffer a detriment for other people's discriminatory conduct. But that's an absolute cop out. You are choosing to ignore a true injustice and say "that's not my problem."
If you can't recognize that an injustice exists in our society that needs rectifying, then you need to wake up and smell the roses.

THANK YOU.
What is it like to hate your self? It must be so tiresome carrying the white mans burden all the time.
Now myself, I don't have that burden. Seeing as how I was not born from descendents of slave owners.
The idea of every white person benefiting every day from their "whiteness" it so totally laughable and naive.
Go live in a minority part of town and tell me how much you benefit from your "whiteness".

BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and fuck anyone any color who agrees or engages any anything racially driven. including the quoted post.
