RACIST...nowadays?...i dont understand....i almost ran into someone ( and she was black) and i said "excuse me im sorry" and she said "u should be"...

i really daont know why people r like that....

i thought we were supposed to love everyone no amtter what color u r..

what happened to all created equal...

and plus slavery happened a long time ago they werent even around so why r some people holding grudges?...

i just dont know and maybe i never will....

any imput would be nice..

no im not being racist either so dont think that im as far as from being racist as the amn on the moon...(and we all know there is no man on the moon)

I agree. I don't get it either.
Oh well....I just try to be nice to them anyway.

Some people are just rude.....doesnt matter what colour they are....

Them as in rude people right ? lol

Wait how was that racist?

Might not have been racist at all may have been just a b*tchy person, did she say "because you are white?" There are just cranky people in the world too. Maybe she didn't like you on site, people are funny. I don't know. Do you live in the south? There are issues down there.

As a white guy from a small town I would not say her comment was racist. Perhaps not appropriate, but not racist.

I don't understand either. And I really don't understand why they can call each other the N word and white people cannot. For one thing did thay not bury that word last year so it had no racial connection.

well from what i hear im not the only person she has "assaulted" like that...but i just thought i would ask...im sorry treneesiu if i offended u.... take a flower from me to show u....



that is all i have to say ..im sorry

I don't feel her commnt had anything to do with race. IMHO, it would appear that if you took it that way, maybe you do have a little closet racism in you that you may want to confront.

Well, it just shows people are people regardless of color. Some blacks are racist just as some whites are. As far as history, there were black tribes selling other captured tribesmen to slave dealers in Africa. The potential for evil (and good) is in people across the board and has nothing to do with color. Just let it roll off your back and have a good day anyway! :)

It doesn't matter what color ones skin is
you will find racist people of every color and creed

But we just have to excuse the rude ones, and is by NO means always easy to do so..
Sometimes i think people are rude, because they don't know any better.
And some people just like to be rude, it is a game to them.
Other people were raised with it and do not know how to change. Is very hard sometimes to change things that one does not know about or have good people to learn from.
I just smile and be nice, because sooner or later most do come around. Or at least the ones i see on regular basis have..

Thats why they call it "LIFE"

What I say is grow a pair. Life is not fair. Indians were slaves as well and we killed them and took their land you don't see them holding a big grudge. To me they had it worse then the african american group. And most people have black in their family. Not all americans are american we are all from somewhere else. And beond that what about the Jews. Come on get over it. It did not happen to you. Who the hell cares.

I have had to go over and over this subject, the n word as you call it not used in the same context or with the same infliction when black folks use it to each other, There is no comparison and only a prejudice white person would want to use it in reference to black folks anyway. That word should NOT be used ever by white folks even when given permission by black folks, as I have, to use it, it is disrespectful, there is not way around it.

Oh and by the way there were white slaves aswell.

Issues in the South? It's a dangerous stereotype to think the South houses more issues.Having lived in both Chicago and NY for years, I can tell you racism exists everywhere in equal measures...just served up with a different accent!

It is not for you to judge the suffering of others. I have seen for myself the racism perpetrated against black folks to this day. I would be one pissed off black person if I had to suffer through what I have seen and yet they are the bigger person and blow it off. I don't know how they do it.

Actually, I think the insanity with the political correctness has made people insane. I think... it made people MORE racist. In fact, I think it created racism where there was none...because, now you have to look at someone and think what's appropriate to say, when maybe before the conversation flowed natural and true. When someone calls me "SPIC" I say, yeah, b*tch, I speak TWO languages, while you can barely manage ONE. Gets 'em every time...
Racist remarks sting for like a second. Then I'm over it. Knowing the other person has to remain in the "dark" while they're bigoted, brings a smile to my face....

there is no getting away from it in my opinion...people's feelings of racial imbalance one of the last remaining prejusism in this world...like take my town of pincourt for example...a town that my grandfather was mayor of and helped to put on the map....too long ago this was not a city of diversified people..it was french and english..then like a tital wave there was a building boom here..and more people of different races began to live here...when i saw the first black family moving in here..i thought to myself that this was wonderful..finally this town is changing..then more black families started to move in..once again,wonderful..but one day i was in the mall and i heard a french lady talking about this and in not to much of a possitive way either,,in fact i would describe it as very insulting..in french i told her that she should have more compassion for others..and walked away...

the point to all this is that i really thought that my liile town was very excepting to everyone..but i know that racism is everywhere..but you cant hold everyone accountable for the acts of a few ignorant a-holes..

keep it real,,
kol..
