Anonymous Coward User ID: 4902345 United States 02/19/2012 04:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | .....sooooooo, let me get this straight...... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11103255 Blacks want to be referred to as "African American" while still referring to us as "Whitey", yet when a child that knows nothing of geography or world continents innocently asks another child if he is brown because he is from Africa, the racist shit bag parent immediately accuses the innocent child of racism? Can you BLACKS see wherein you create racism where it didn't even exist? BLACKS have created Black History Month, Black Magazines, Black Colleges, Black Entertainment Television, Black Music, yet we aren't permitted to point out their color difference, nor are we permitted to have all-White colleges, White History Month, etc. Who are the real racists here? Are you BLACKS hearing me? . You should refrain from speaking about things that you don't understand He shouldn't, because he's spot on. Black Power is the movement emphasizing racial pride and the creation of black political and cultural institutions to nurture and promote black collective interests whereas White Power is taboo. I am tired of the imbalances. I have to agree with the first post and the third. The guy in the middle saying not to comment, is a moran. Any time white people organize, it is considered racist. Any other ethnicity is allowed to do as they please regarding racial organizing. It is unfairly biased against whites, based on us supposedly being domineering. We are not so on a societal basis, it may be so in TPTB. But whites are affected the same as all others when it comes to TPTB's choices for us. The percentage of people living in the US, that are not US-born citizens has to be lower than the opposite. So aren't we all just Americans now? Unless you are foreign born, you cannot be, African American, Italian American, Irish American...We are Americans once we are born here. Real Americans, are many, many colors. |

Quoting: APOLLO ILLUMINATI Yes. It's time to end the monopoly blacks and browns have on outrage. We whites need to be permanently outraged as well. If the only color pen available is black, be outraged. If the highways are 100% with only a little token white or yellow line thrown in, be outraged. If the sky is black at night without enough token stars to even read by, queue the outrage. |

live by the sword User ID: 7069132 United States 02/19/2012 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My three year old daughter and I were in a pizza place and these two black men next to us kept using the "N" word back and forth with each other. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10117829 We had to get up and move because when my three year old comes out with the "N" word, then I am a racist, right? I didn't even mention race to my children, but one day when we went to pick up my nephew from football practice, we were waiting in the car and I was reading and suddenly my kid says, "Mom, where are all of the peach people?" When I looked up, all of the football players were coming out of the school and they were all black until my nephew came out. Kids notice color and are curious, that is all. NHS = national health service. As in British health sevice. As in Britain, a small island off the west coast of europe. Mr America, the world no longer revolves around you. And the government of the UK is the American equivalent of the republican party, so the liberal comments are way off. |

Quoting: APOLLO ILLUMINATI In Indonesia they call White people "bule" which means "without pigments". I wasn't offended. 'bule' That's quite interesting the way Indonesians deem that...hmmmm..when you think about it? Are they referring to how much 'dark' we have in our skin, or 'lack of'? When I look at other whites, I see different shades of pink, dark, and what not. I remember reading about how 'BLACK' a person was when they came over to America back in the 1700's from Africa. Don't get me wrong, but when I heard the statement: "Blacker than Toby's arse." What the hell did that mean? And who was Toby? I also heard the statement: "He/she is so black in the dark, that if it wasn't for them SMILING their pearly whites, we'd lose track of them." Good Lord! How dark in the skin does one have to be before that happens!?!?!? One thing I've noticed, ever since the Blacks have come to live here in the last so many hundreds of years, is that each generation of Blacks is getting 'paler'. Is that ONLY because of 'inter-marriage', as well as the fact that each individual's skin is adapting to the 'colder climate'? We have to remember, that the original Black peoples came from a VERY HOT CLIMATE. I often wonder that if....after a another couple of hundred years living in North America, will these very same individuals (or rather their descendants) - TURN WHITER in color after awhile? Genetics will be having a hay-day when that happens. |

Is like giving a band aide for cancer. We live in a system built on institutionalized racism. Do you know that we base prison sizes for the future on 3rd grader test scores from low income communities. If we put a third of that money toward improving the schools we wouldn't need those prisons in the first place. But that is not what is in the cards and don't for a second believe that it is not intentional because it is. It's easy to sit on the outside and judge away. After all that is what the system wants.
