Arabs And How They Are Viewed By Western Culture

[GetInTheTruck]

TBH I was kind of sympathetic to them how they were treated post-911 but now it's like whatever because a lot of North-Africans I've known in Belgium are racist (towards blacks and whites) as f*ck themselves. I didn't see the documentary but there's one thing that is hard to deny, it's the bullshyt that DOES happen in Arab and Muslim countries (extreme examples include the stonnings, cutting off hands for bs, riots because of cartoons , terrorism...) as I once told some north-african dude in Brussels, I was like people will stop portraying you guys as "fouteurs de merde" (people who just end up starting shyt where they go) when you'll stop doing it. Unfortunately it ain't Polish people or Asian messing up parties in bars in Brussels. And about Muslims complaining about "the West" going against "Islam"...when Saudi Arabia is transforming Mecca in damn near Las Vegas...it wasn't Westerners or "infidels" who were burning down...mosques in Mali. So whatever, I try to keep it civil like with any other people but there is no "solidarity" towards them because we're supposedly "cousins" or "allies" against "Whitey"

These are the same kind of arguments people use in defense of their prejudice towards black people.

"it aint white people packing prisons, it aint white people killing each other in the streets...etc;"

Why should I care, I mean it's not like they care about our struggle, especially seeing as how they treat darker skinned arabs/africans.

Hi I live in saudi. I'm arab. So please explain this, cause while racism does exist here its not as bad as even in the US. So please enlighten me.

What a ton of bullshyt.

First of all thanks for basing an entire race over a anecdotal evidence, it is the equivalent to "those c00ns want to rape our women and steal our things you see them like that on the news all the time"

As for the extremes, you don't realize how a lot of it is either bullshyt, exaggerated or almost non existant. I could base everything in the US on all the murders, pharmacy bombings, rapists, lynching and whatnot but I don't cause that's stupid, and you should realize that the vast majority of us don't pull that shyt or believe in it. You used terrorism as an example? You do realize that not all arabs are terrorists right?

An organized religion is attempting to make more money out of the people of their faith? that happens everywhere.

Breh, all shyt happens for a reason, whether we like it or not. Notice how I spoke about the situation in Brussels, not elsewhere. Blacks are much less victim of this reasoning THERE because most just...don't start shyt where they go. It's a sorry situation, but when I was there and some bs started happening in the metro, I didn't even have to turn around to know that it was some north-africans starting it. does that mean that ALL of them are like that, of course not, but I'm not gonna lie for some PC hypocrisy either. There's a reason why Black people in general are better accepted NOW in Belgium and in France than North-Africans, now we can discuss on socio-econimcal and cultural reasons, but one of the reasons is also that black people, in Brussels, just don't go out "to start shyt" (I wish I were inventing this, but I'm not).

Na, you obviously have a clear bias. You're supporting the generalization of an entire group based off the actions of a few. If somebody hears or reads a story about an unwed mother on welfare with 8 kids with 3 different fathers all in jail and automatically assumes they are black that would be racist right? Please.

First of all, I'm not in the US, I'm in Paris, so don't adress any gripes you may or may not have with the US towards me.

Second, where did you get my "entire view of a race"? I said that in my experience, what I've seen doesn't make me sympathetic to their/your "plight" or whatever, how does that equate into "an entire view of a race" to you? Based on MY experience, I stopped caring/defending for North-africans when I realized that A LOT are racist themselves IN BELGIUM (again, miss me with "in the US..."). Mfers crying over racism up there and then saying "fukk them belgians "


And breh, I've heard enough of the tired tactic of "oh, so you're saying all arabs are terrorists huh", that's the same tactic Israel uses to stop people from criticizing them ("what, you're against the colonies? You hate Jews!!!").

I don't know about those hypothetical stories, but what I am supposed to tell you breh? Lie and be PC about it, or say that there clearly is wrong out there? I don't live in that fairy-tale world where all is good and well, as I said earlier we can talk about socio-economical and cultural reasons that lead to this result, but this is the result we have to deal with. And how is it a bias when it's based on what I used to see there almost every day? Again, what I'm saying is that I'm no longer sympathetic with their/your "plight" because quite a lot I've met in Belgium are racists themselves (just like some Black people by the way, on some "fukk cacs" shyt that is applauded on this very site).

My comment for the US still stands. I was saying that you could list all the bullshyt and extremes of any country. Just because you live in france doesn't mean it isn't true. We can comment on the increasing islamophobia in france or the entire racism there towards blacks and arabs(which are hardly th majority or the norm, I guess you can see where i'm getting at here.)

There's a difference between my comment and Israel's. Israel are saying anyone against what they do hate jews, you clearly stated that you stopped caring about arab's plight and sighted terrorism as one of the reasons why. You brought up terrorism, not me.

You talk about arabs pulling shyt then you provide examples from Mali and Pakistan? The fukk? Oh let me guess Arabs and Muslims are the same thing right?

As for the whole Saudi's turning Mecca into Vegas, I said yeah but what organized religion doesn't exploit their followers for money. In no way did i condone it or debunk it.

Seriously dude, you're pulling some "all this shyt I say is ok cause some of my best friends are north africans/arabs/whatever". Walk away son.

 

[Colilluminati]

Arabs need to take a number and get in line.

This.

 

[CASHAPP]

This.

Why do black folks always have this mindset for any other race than them?

 

[gho3st]

It began by saying "Arabs are the most maligned group in the history of Hollywood" that's when I hit stop

I kno right. What about the racial cleansing ARabs be doing to black africans??

 

[B-Rock Odrama]

IDGAF about Arabs. 'White people' been throwing 'Black' people in the bushes since photographs were invented......

Ayrabs racism is kinda underrated ...pound for pound they give cacs a run for the money when it comes to shytting on blacks.and have been doing it for just as long..Even today African orign people are still considered a slave caste and untouchables in many Middle Eastern countries..

Have you forgot about ayrabs working with whitey(NATO)to lynch blacks during the Libyan war a couple years ago?

[ame=http://youtu.be/fj9gs3OphWQ]Ethnic Cleansing Of Blacks Libyan.NATO-Backed Libya "Rebels"Are Clearly Terrorists And Racist - YouTube[/ame]

The clowns whom compare racist yrabs Imperalist plight to the black struggle are either igorant of history or have an agenda.

 

[Robbie3000]

Good documentary. Well I think Arabs are looked at more negatively since 9/11 I mean every political thriller has us fighting some sort of Arab monster, really since Sleeper Cell. Come to think of it, very few shows have Arabs in a positive light so yes after Blacks I would say Arabs are the worst portrayed but then again who are the main people running these outlets?

What about Russians? We still have Iron Man fighting Sovietesque Ivan decades after the fall of communism.

Yea, but even that is vague, Russians are not really that represented in general relative to their population the way Arabs are.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Arabs are just as bad as whitey. So fukk em.

 

[Luken]

Tell them to man up, its just their turn to be the '******s'. been there, done that.
