Perez Hilton Possibly Racist? Gasp! What a Shock!

In an interview with The Advocate, Perez Hilton explains that he wanted to call Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas a "n*gger*, during an altercation he had with the singer.

But Perez tells me that, in the heat of the moment that night, he almost chose to use a different word. “I thought about calling him the n word,” he says over the phone a week after the incident, “but I thought the f word was even worse. I was so filled with hate at that moment because I was hated on so much, and I reacted in the worst way possible. Then I went on to make a bunch of other mistakes. I shouldn’t have made the video. I shouldn’t have released so many statements.

What? Oh, really Perez? I TOTALLY didn't know! Like, you SO don't come off racist AT ALL.

I knew he wanted to say that word when I saw the video because he's always been "suspect." Perez Hilton is an aversive racist, just from his close relationship with racist/celebutard Paris Hilton. He's made terrible comments about the FEW black celebrities he does cover. He's just not that into "us."

I wish that little idiot would stop thinking of us as dumb. Tell us something we DON'T know, Perez.

Christopher may as well join the League Of the Delusional because not only do his words and his logic do more harm than good, but according to Perez Hilton's site, more people have come forward decrying Chapman for years of racism and verbal abuse.

Dog's son may have actually shed light on what I was speaking about in my previous post with this particular comment:

"My dad's not a racist man, if he was, he would have no hair, he'd have swastikas on his body and he'd go around talking about Hitler."

But does this guy look like a racist?


He doesn't. If I were to see this man on the street I would think that he is a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and quite affluent. I would never think he was a racist but he is. His name is David Duke. Perhaps this picture will help explain just how racist and deviant he is:



Unfortunately Chris doesn't do much to help his father by using that example. What he does, however, is show all of us that racism and bigotry isn't a one-dimensional concept anymore.

Robert W. Grossman from the Psychology Department at Kalamazoo College and Thomas E. Ford of the Department of Sociology at Western Michigan University explain it in this form:

In contrast to old-fashioned racism, which is characterized by overt hatred for and discrimination against African-Americans or other minorities, aversive racism is characterized by more complex, ambivalent racial attitude. On the one hand, aversive racists are well-intentioned people who typically (1) avoid acting in a racist manner, (2) support public policies that promote racial equality, (3) sympathize with victims of past injustice, (4) identify with liberal political agendas, (5) possess strong egalitarian values, and (6) regard themselves as non-prejudiced. On the other hand, aversive racists almost unavoidably possess negative feelings and beliefs about African-Americans (it may be built into the social fabric of our minds). In contrast to the old-fashioned racist, however, the negative feelings experienced by aversive racists are not hatred and animosity toward African-Americans, but rather discomfort, uneasiness, or fear in the presence of African-Americans (which may be built on our biologically based fear of strangers). In addition, this negative affect is frequently unacknowledged or dissociated from the self because it conflicts with one’s egalitarian self-concept and value system.

Because aversive racists are concerned with maintaining an egalitarian self-concept, they typically do not consciously or intentionally discriminate against African-Americans. The negative affect underlying the racial attitude of aversive racists, then, is likely to influence behavior in subtle, unconscious, and unintentional ways. That is, the aversive racist is likely to discriminate against African-Americans only in situations in which discriminatory behavior can be easily rationalized, such as when the norms for what is appropriate (non-racist) behavior are unclear (Gaertner, 1973), or when there are nonracial justifications for one’s discriminatory behavior (Gaertner & Dovidio, 1977). People may unconsciously and unintentionally discriminate against African-Americans even while consciously making every effort to behave in a non-racist manner.

He could've been the nicest person and never thought, under most circumstances, that minorities were "scum." The issue isn't even what he said per se because he, for once, was honest with the world and with himself. The issue is he still doesn't understand the gravity of what he said and why what he said was wrong and neither do his apologists.

For any substance abuser, the first step is admitting something isn't right; admitting their problem. "Dog" Chapman, his family and his supporters need to admit that there indeed is something wrong, otherwise he is more of a detriment than a benefit to not only himself, but the very people he claims to help and care about.

What happens if a Hawaiian criminal, like those he detains on his show, is more aggressive than normal? Is he going to call he or she a "poi-slinger?" What if he cannot check his temper and seriously injures that person? Then what?
