Default Racism Problems?



So I was on youtube and I totally forgot how many scumbag, in the closet racist there are. Its funny because to them, black people are racist to white people, so they have the right to be racist. When I asked them how so, here are the responses.

Black people expect whites to know their history
Black people think the world owes them something
Black people call themselves the "N" word, so why can't we?
Black people always pull the race card.
Black people think every white is a descendant of a slave master.
I don't even see racism today.
etc.

Does anyone else have any of these problems? Its crazy how people twist **** around to make it seem like racism is none existent, which it isn't. I just wanted to know have any of you had any types of these problems and how you dealt with it. Oh and let me shoot down those pathetic arguments by the way.

Black people don't expect you to "know our history" but we expect you not to believe those stupid stereotypes . But I guess its pretty sinister of us to ask that. What black people think the world owes them something? I know some do, but I, and many others don't. The "N" word, heres where we get into something that most racists think they know everything about it. The "N" word has two different variations, one with an ending ER sound and the other with an ending AH sound. Calling someone the one with the ER is intended to be demeaning and racist. Calling someone the one with the AH sound is like saying " What up bro?" So remember this if you ever think saying it
ER for error
AH for aha!
Next lesson, the race card thing. Most blacks really don't pull the race card thing, we don't. But there are things that whites( and other races) do that IS racist, they just don't realize it. I've had times at school( earlier this year) where kids would call me "blacky" and make very snide comments when they thought I couldn't hear them. When I confronted them about it, they wanted to say " Oh, you're just pulling the race card!"

I had to fight the urge to savagely attack each of those kids.

And now at my new school, I have more white kids saying something is racist than I do. Its quite funny actually; kids will say stuff and another kid will say "that's racist" and look at me expectantly. I just give them a blank stare and slowly explain to them how it isn't racist. XD Anyways, if someone says you are pulling the race card, its most likely to cover them.
There were very few slave masters in the South, like wallstreet numbers. 99 to 1%. Somehow though, people in the South still fought for slavery, a dying cause. Won't go into the details.
If you don't see slavery nowadays, good for you. But keep in mind, that's you. I live in a town where the majority are whites, and you would not believe the ignorance and racism I encounter. One kid walked up to me and said " I'm so glad that you don't say "whats up homie" like other blacks." So yeah, racism still exist in many ways today.

Ugh.

So if a white person came up to you in the streets and called you his "AH", would you be okay with it?

I live in a small town in the south so yaaaaaaa there's a lot of closet and a few full on racist people here. There's even been incedents were state troopers bust up a moonshine place or something, and they find kkk stuff O.O Even my parents are a little racist, (trashed all my manga as a kid, make race jokes, etc) but don't discriminate or anything.

Personally I'm as white as a q-ball, but racism makes me really pissed off, like break somebodie's face pissed off. Its stupid and ignorent, people shouldn't discriminate based on what's the outside its their character that matters. Growing up around racism I've come to hate racist people with a passion, they tend to be pretty stupid people most of the time.

@baroque Its no biggie here man all us whities say it, why you trippn my *****? :P

The door swings both ways, Szayel. The term "reverse racism" is, in and of itself, a justification when you think about it. The way I see it, racism is racism, no matter which side of the fence you sit on. I'll happily include all other forms of discrimination in that, too. Point is, before you start pointing fingers at any one group of people and what they think, know that there are plenty of bad apples on your own side that makes the other side think the same thing.

Oh, and the lesson to be learned here is to not let anonymous cowards on the Internet form your opinion on any greater race or creed in general. Internet assholes are just that: Internet assholes. Pay them no mind. They're the lowest form of life.

As for stereotypes and how people perceive you, well....NONE OF US can win there. Pessimistic, yes, but true. Ya just have to face palm and shrug it off.

Why'd they trash the manga, I mean there's nothing that would wreck it for that reason so why. Was it the scant amount of clothing that the girls sport in the books cause that seems like more of a reason to me to why they threw out your manga.

Okay you live in a white town, that's why you feel that way. You should visit Greenspoint Tx, then your mind will change really really ****ing quick. God I wish you could see it.


And as for those "stereotypes" like gospel music watermelon and chicken...I didn't even know those were a thing until i saw Richard Prior, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Kat Williams talking about them. All of the stereotypes about African Americans that I know of come or came straight from an African American.

Oh and I could write 12 pages on how Tyler Perry has single handedly reversed civil acceptance of the African American and black races.

Hey I don't even like the term racism... (Never really understood why we call people with black/ white skin a race we're all apart of the human race. Besides what if someone is 1/4th white, Asian, black and Hispanic... what is their "race.")

Is there prejudice still in the world... Of course! Everyone is prejudice as it's how we are raised. Now I'm not saying everyone is a downright"racist" but we all see things a certain way and view things based on factors like where we were born, are parents, friends, community, etc.

I think a simple example is what we eat. For example we may eat a pig because it's meat, but yet cats and dogs are friends. This is a form of prejudice as in other countries dogs are perfectly fine to eat, but yet sometimes other animals such as cows would be considered offensive. There are plenty of other examples, but I think this is a pretty obvious one and also relates to different cultures. (You could even talk about things like religious views and such as well, but I'm obviously not going to get into that on these forums.)

To pretend there is no prejudice (Which includes racism) is just foolish. Everyone is prejudice to some extent.

Hmmm, I had a black kid come up to me and say "I'm so glad that you don't say 'You guys' like other white boys." Never thought that he was being a racist though. Whats the difference between that and 'Whats up homie'?
