CanadaIn NIC User ID: 61820321 Nicaragua 08/19/2014 12:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been called racist for many years.. I live in an offshore country, married a local, my daughter was born here... Yep.. I'm Racist... Don't let it get to you.. Ultimately, YOU are responsible for how YOU feel. YOU manifest your own destiny. No one but YOU can decide your label.. Is it hurtful.. At first yes, but see point one. They cannot hurt me if I DO NOT let them... I pity them, but then too much pity leads to more hurt, which leads back around to point one... Delicate balance.. Good luck... And don't give up... "Carpe Diem" |
Redgotdead User ID: 59507854 United States 08/19/2014 12:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doesn't make you a bad person. It's fine. The meaning has changed. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you didn't physically harm someone because of their race. I'll bet you didn't even deny someone their civil rights based on race. By today's standards, discussing race or culture while simultaneously being white.. is racist. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being racist. It's probably just a someone taking the easy way out. Don't worry. "Das racist" is the Game Genie for American life. They say that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. They also say that history is written by the victorious. What I have learned from history is that the recorded accounts of humanity's past are nearly always manipulated for the benefit of the current ruling power's agenda. Put faith in your own personal history, or submit to the future of another's. |
