Considering that you are here trying to argue your "RIGHT" to be racist, and you seem convinced that ALL black people are evil thugs, I would guess that 99% of your issues stem from the way you act. In other words, if you feel that all black people are inferior to you (IE, ignorant trash), don't be shocked when they find opportunities to prove to you that you are right.
I agree there is a double-standard and while you should have every right to be as racist and as obnoxious as any person of color; as a female of the eugenically superior aryan race you are obligated to rise about these petty disputes and take your rightful place among the ranks of the mighty amazons. I bow to your superiority and pray to the goddess of fertilely that my soon-to-be-wife will produce offspring, not of the mud race from which I emerged but from the superior white race of gods and giants Hotwater
^^^I don't think she's saying that and that kind of racism really isn't so popular nowadays anyway. I think she's talking more about mistrust/fear/hatred of black people as opposed to feeling completely superior. Also, I think everyone should try to rise above any and all forms of racism whenever possible.
*ignores all the shitty white people in the world and focuses on the blacks to try to make a point* said point is basically: "argh, stop being intolerant of my intolerance!!!" If I was a black person in the US I'd probably be a bit jaded at white people too.
I have NEVER been treated by whites in a way that black people treat me. Never EVER! I've had minor disputes with other white people but I have never been outright bullied, trashed, harrassed, grabbed, molested, stolen from, or mugged by white people.
Well take it from me - as a resident of a city with around 90% white population - that they are just as capable of doing everything you claim was done to you, and worse. Or at least, some of them are. As I said earlier, a proportion of people are assholes, and it transcends colour, gender, religion, etc.
well said man. a group of people who are douches is just that. their race shouldn't have anything to do with it
You have every right to be racist, but with that right comes consequences, which you must also deal with.
Racism is wrong. If you want to be racist, be racist against someone for what the do, not how they look. A black and a white man can easilly be best of friends; but a redneck and a hood would not. I support rednecks hating hoods, and hoods hating rednecks, but hatred based solely on color is a stupid and inferior practice.
Please accept my humble apology for the way you’ve been treated I too find the behavior of my people appalling and I promise you I’ll uncover this mystery if I have to tear down every tenement in Shaker Heights to do it I’ll discover whose behind this and why you alone have been singled out for persecution while all other whites are left alone to pursue a life of religious freedom, happiness, and quiet penitence.

Seriously I am disgusted by the way people have made such a joke out of this thread. Do I agree with the reasoning of the Original Poster.....no...but I can see where the thinking comes from. In the US we are so trained to look at color and race as an excuse and explanation for behavior. And it's true there is hipocracy in what is acceptable and what is not acceptable to joke about. That doesnt mean that people dont have feelings. And seriously how does calling her bad names for asking for help (which is what she is doing) serve as any type of explanation for anything?? @ the original poster...I think it is good that you posted this link and are asking for opinions and input. To me that shows that you dont want to be racist but have had some really bad experiences with a particular race. My suggestion is to move if you can because it sounds like whatever cithy you are in has some race relation problems to begin with. Also, if you are walking down the street and somebody grabs your ass that is not ok no matter what race they are. That is assault and you can call the police. But for real, racism just fuels our own anger and doesnt accomplish anything. It is a senseless explanation for actions and behaviors that dont make sense and hurt us. People [of any race] are mean because they weren't raised to be respectful, have self, hatred, need to create situations in which they feel powerful because in reality they feel powerless etc. Does knowing that erase the sting of having pennies thrown at you or people violate your body? No, it doesnt. But if you turn around and hate them because they are black you are simply trying to make yourself feel better in the moment but in the end you will feel worse. Learn to let stuff go that ultimatley has nothing to do with your own happiness and personal goals. If that means moving to a new environment that is more diverse and has positive examples of people from other cultural backgrounds then maybe you should do it.
Following the recent comments by Jesse Jackson directed towards the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, one might suggest “waxangelwings is the personification of the slave master mentality” “she sees all-blacks as inferior and what right do we have to criticize her (a white person) or single her out for bullying and harassment” :toetap05: IMHO The Queen of Shaker Heights Plantation needs a reality check Hotwater
Yeah, I understand what you mean? Where do you live? I grew up in NY in a very diverse community, but people were just people. The Black people werent ghetto. I actually had quite a few african american friends growing up. Then after I graduated highschool, I moved to the great state state of Louisiana (thats a joke). Moving here has made me a racist. Dont get me wrong, I have met very nice, respectable black people in Louisiana, but they are few and far between. I would say 80% of the black people in my town, are "ghetto" they feel they are 1) above everyone and everything, and 2) they are entitled to stuff. I have even talked to black people who have moved from all of the country (North and West Coast) and they said the same thing. I can understand what you are saying, but just remember its not all black people who are like this. Sometimes I actually feel bad for black people, because they get grouped in with the "ghetto N*****s". These ghetto's make all black people look bad. Its quite sad.
