Re: 7-Year-Old Accused of Racism For Asking "Are You Brown Because You Are From Africa?"
.....sooooooo, let me get this straight......

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?

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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10955299


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.

So their skin color is brown, When someone points out that my skin tone is white, or beige, I should be offended?
 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.

Re: 7-Year-Old Accused of Racism For Asking "Are You Brown Because You Are From Africa?"
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.

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.

In Indonesia they call White people "bule" which means "without pigments". I wasn't offended.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10955299


'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.

I think it would have been a good time for the younger kid's mother to get the other kid to come to their house, explain a bit about their cultural heritage, I bet the other kid would have been enthralled by it, and that's how to get different races to interact with each other.Or rather than making a fuss with the school, offer to hold a question and answer session with maps, etc.Even if they are fifth generation British, they have a cultural heritage stretching back.

I used to live in a community of immigrants abroad where I was the only white person in a whole town, and I loved to hear about their backgrounds, they cooked traditional food for me, they invited me to worship with them, and the small children looked at me strangely because they weren't sure why I looked so different, but we all got on together.

To add: all those things that your sooo upset over black history month,BET, etc.. 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. Keep us distracted with blaming the poor for our problems while the real criminals sit in their mansions laughing all the way to the bank while throwing you just enough bread crumbs so that you don't start asking the real questions.

How can you control everything a small child questions? Why would you want to? Is questioning your surroundings wrong? I thought that there was an age of responsibility - 16 years old. How can a tiny child know right from wrong on all counts? This takes time to learn!
