Racism In Peoples Lives

[Mike Smith]

So i searched the forum and didnt see anything about this subject and wanted to see what people thought.

I've come across plenty of racists in my life, racists towards blacks, mexicans, everything really. Some kids were in gangs and hated other colored gangs, some people were part of the KKK and hated blacks. I mean you name it and i've met them(NOT intentionally)

Some of my friends are even racist. They think that others are below them because whites are the "superior" race.(They have a hitler mentality which is NOT good). Those people aren't REALLY my friends though.

This thread is really for anyone who wants to talk about racism they've experienced in their lives, or seen happen to people. It can be about anything. Tell a story you remember happening, tell something about a friend or family member if they've been racist, or if you're racist yourself tell us and why and stuff.

This is not meant to stir up controversy but i'm almost 100% sure it will.

Sorry for spelling errors people.

And yeah i hate racists, i mean one of my friends is a bad one and i always try to convince him not to be, so im thinking i might stop being friends with him soon.

Racism is the most ridiculous thing the world. I can never, ever respect anyone who is a racist.

[limepomegranate]

[Mike Smith]

Why? I feel this is a very worthy thread. Are you racist and just dont wanna see this or something?

please stop making threads.

THIS x 100,000!
Stop making useless threads, dude. Just chat it up in ones made by people who start actually interesting conversations and get a feel for what people like to talk about on here.

Then go fuck yourself.

If you feel that a thread about racism is useless then you really aren't a good person. And i have posted a few threads that have been interesting and sparked good conversation thank you very much.

Plus i was told to ignore people who try to act like assholes on here by someone pretty important here on AP. So i'm going to follow their advice for the time being.

[MarsEatWorld]

just stop making threads. Is it that hard to comprehend?

Don't make the same mistake you made with football just STFU.

No it doesn't. I don't need to have the same conversation 100 times in my life. The racism conversation lasts like 45 seconds because most people have enough tact and common sense not to be racist anyways. And those who are usually don't go around bragging like it.

No you haven't. Worst new poster of '09.

If you think I am impressed by any hierarchy that may exist on this website you're wrong. Just seriously stop making lame threads - thats all anyone is asking.

[MarsEatWorld]

1. Ok i guess i can see your point about the racism thing. It's just a big thing up here where i live in Maine. Especially at my school since theres only like 4 black kids in the whole school. My school is 98% white. So i thought it might be worthwhile to talk about

2. The label of worst poster on '09 cant even begin to be given out yet as its only february.

3. Never said you had to be impressed haha, im just saying that someone high up on the AP website told me to ignore people like you if you were just going to be assholes...Simple as that.

He isn't an asshole. Nobody cares about your 98% white school. You are the worst poster so far and it will be VERY hard for someone to be worse, semi-pro wannabe.

[chicagogirll04]

There is racism in the world.
Talking about it is not going to fix anything.
Simple as that.
There will be prejudice no matter what. It is the way people were raised.
Yes, it's not right, but don't make stupid threads about it.

Well if people can make threads about fucking their girls up the ass and have people care about that, then why wouldn't they care about something that actually matters?

And i dont just talk about it on here. I happen to be in talks with some senators on ways we can stop things such as racism, and bullying and shit in schools.

Well aren't you Mr. Big Man!
Talking to senators on ways to stop racism!

[ActionActionFan]

The America First Party is unalterably opposed to all so-called ' hate crime ' laws whether they are federal, state, county, or municipal. The elusive element of ' hate ' as a significant factor in the commission of a particular crime is something that can best be determined by God; not by Man.

http://www.americafirstparty.org/docs/platform.shtml

I thought this was an interesting stance. I'm not saying that I agree with it though, so don't bitch to me if you don't agree with it.

[Mike Smith]

Well aren't you Mr. Big Man!

I'm doing more than just that. But at least i'm trying to make this world a better place for assholes like you to live in.

sweet brag.
but our world will never be racist free. the racist people dont get that they are doing anything wrong.

there will always be bad things happening. even with the possibilty of a death sentence, people still murder other people.

True, but at least people who murder someone usually get convicted and either spend life in jail or get euthanized for it.

You know nothing about me.

I know that you are an ass to a lot of people on here, and that you seem to only care about threads that have to do with sex, or other things you think are "worthwhile" and when you see a thread that other people dont like you attack the person for the sheer fact that someone else didnt like it.

[Brett3]

It's all over the place where I live.

That sucks. Where are you from?

This is the internet. You know NOTHING about me.

Ok true, but like i said i know enough to know your an ass to people on here for absolutely no reason other than the fact you feel like being one.

When have you ever posted anything worthwhile on here? I havent seen you post a thread on here since i've been a member, i've only seen you bitch about everyone elses threads you have seen being posted lately.

I have a life outside of AP thank you very much.
The reason I am being an ass is because you still haven't realized that you are making pointless threads and you don't know shit about what you want to pursue and about where you are posting. It isn't that hard to go into the noob thread or just go around reading threads before posting one.
There is no need to post a thread every time you have an issue. Also, lately tons of new members have been creating pointless threads, you included. Which is VERY annoying. Maybe one day you will realize yet another mistake you have made.

Ok you could have just said this all along. I would have been less inclined to get pissed if you had said something like this all along.

I now realize that you're right, a lot of new people, including myself have been posting wayy to many threads about random shit on here.

I will delete this thread and continue to post, but i will post more in the lyrics section than in here, unless i find something good to talk about. I will just continue to post in threads that have already been made on here instead of posting random shit ok?

Sorry i was an ass to you, i realize you're just trying to get people to stop posting dumbass shit and you're only acting semi-rude because its a necessity now.

Hey, I have to do a school project on racism, and i have to interview someone who has experienced racial discrimination in their life, so could someone make up a story about a time where you've experienced racial discrimination and how you dealt with it? Make it interesting, but believable. True stories are even more welcome.

I posted this in an old thread to avoid being a jerk and starting a new thread.

[abusedcat]

I work at Old Navy, and our return policy is 90 days, which is much longer than most stores I know of. After 90 days you can still return an item, but all we can give you is whatever price it's currently at now, which is usually a clearance price. An African-American woman the other day called me an "ignorant racist cracker" because I couldn't give her full price for an item that she bought in August.
I really hate when people play the race card in situations like that.

[teaahnuh]

well I went to Italy once with a student group of all white people who were extremely racist. When we were in Venice on a boat, someone yelled out, "Oh my god, we're going to get killed by a shark!" And then someone responded, "Sharks don't kill people, black people do!" And everyone started hysterically laughing but me. I was just in shock. Then later on, whenever they would see someone that is African American they would shout out KFC, or a random number (they were counting the lack of African Americans in Italy). I was just so disgusted with them, and it kind of ruined my trip.

[Deadbolt23]

One day, I was really angry with my teacher, so I pretended to be asleep. So when this asshat of a man noticed that I was 'asleep'. He ran up to my desk, and banged his fist down, straight next to my head. Now, what I haven't already told you, is that I am a black belt in karate. So, using my lightening quick reaction, I grabbed his fist, and threw him onto the floor. At this point everyone in the class was clapping, even the headmaster had come in to cheer me on. That's how much of a douchelord this teacher was. I decided I'd had enough education for today, and I walked out of the school.
I began walking home from school, and I decided that, since it was a really hot day, I would love a nice, cold drink. So, walking into the nearest shop, I bought a can of Coke. Leaving the shop, I bumped into my sister, and she asked me why I wasn't in school. I threw her a bullshit excuse about the supply teacher not turning up, and we began chatting. As the conversation went on, I began to realise that something was not quite right with my sister. She kept twitching nervously, and talking about this honey she's just bought. I continued the conversation while trying to figure out what it was that was different about her. I looked her up and down. And then I looked in her eyes. Her eyes. Of course, there was something weird about her eyes. There were no whites. And that's when I realised it...she was a fucking bear!
The bear saw the look of recognition on my face, and I immediately turned and ran back into the shop. Thankfully, the bear was momentarily stunned, so I ran up to the man behind the counter. "Help!" I shouted at the man. "There is a bear outside, and it's going to kill me." On saying those words, the cashier jumped over the counter, clawing at my face. Ducking just in time, I realised that he was also a fucking bear! I looked around to see that the rest of the people in the shop were bears, and advancing on me.
The bear that had previously posed as my sister charged through the door, and growled at the other bears. I was his kill. He prowled over to the corner where I was cowering, taking his time, clearly enjoying every moment. As he got closer, there was nothing I could do. I tried to shield my face with my arms, but the humongous bear just ripped them clean off. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! My arms! I began to weep as the bear's face grew so close to mine I could smell the rotting stench from his teeth. Then he bit my face off.

[Jennurna Gray]

Why? I feel this is a very worthy thread. Are you racist and just dont wanna see this or something?
It is indeed a worthy thread, but it belongs (And I'm assuming there are a ton) in the Politics forum. But I'll continue the idea, anyway:

I'm semi-racist-ish. I don't mean to be (usually), but I just get really annoyed at ghetto people, whites and blacks. I know that that isn't actually racism, since it's intended toward a a culture rather than an ethnicity (Or a 'swagga' rather than a skin color), but I classify it as racist because I tend to pull the 'N' bomb to descibe these people. However, I have a fair amount of black friends and don't feel as if the amount of melanin in the skin is a fair judgement of a person. It's how they act.

I'm curious as to whether or not you guys perceive this as racism. And I'm not looking for one word answers. Why or why not?

I don't ever think it is right to use the n-word but I don't think you are racist. You discriminate against people based on their values and not their race thus it's not racism.
I'd try and stop using the n-word, it's my personal opinion but I think it's pretty disgusting for it to be thrown around like it's a nickname.

I don't ever think it is right to use the n-word but I don't think you are racist. You discriminate against people based on their values and not their race thus it's not racism.

I was about to defend myself and say that it's really no worse than calling someone a 'slut' or a 'bitch', but then I realized that it is.

[FueledByRock]

One day, I was really angry with my teacher, so I pretended to be asleep. So when this asshat of a man noticed that I was 'asleep'. He ran up to my desk, and banged his fist down, straight next to my head. Now, what I haven't already told you, is that I am a black belt in karate. So, using my lightening quick reaction, I grabbed his fist, and threw him onto the floor. At this point everyone in the class was clapping, even the headmaster had come in to cheer me on. That's how much of a douchelord this teacher was. I decided I'd had enough education for today, and I walked out of the school.
I began walking home from school, and I decided that, since it was a really hot day, I would love a nice, cold drink. So, walking into the nearest shop, I bought a can of Coke. Leaving the shop, I bumped into my sister, and she asked me why I wasn't in school. I threw her a bullshit excuse about the supply teacher not turning up, and we began chatting. As the conversation went on, I began to realise that something was not quite right with my sister. She kept twitching nervously, and talking about this honey she's just bought. I continued the conversation while trying to figure out what it was that was different about her. I looked her up and down. And then I looked in her eyes. Her eyes. Of course, there was something weird about her eyes. There were no whites. And that's when I realised it...she was a fucking bear!
The bear saw the look of recognition on my face, and I immediately turned and ran back into the shop. Thankfully, the bear was momentarily stunned, so I ran up to the man behind the counter. "Help!" I shouted at the man. "There is a bear outside, and it's going to kill me." On saying those words, the cashier jumped over the counter, clawing at my face. Ducking just in time, I realised that he was also a fucking bear! I looked around to see that the rest of the people in the shop were bears, and advancing on me.
The bear that had previously posed as my sister charged through the door, and growled at the other bears. I was his kill. He prowled over to the corner where I was cowering, taking his time, clearly enjoying every moment. As he got closer, there was nothing I could do. I tried to shield my face with my arms, but the humongous bear just ripped them clean off. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! My arms! I began to weep as the bear's face grew so close to mine I could smell the rotting stench from his teeth. Then he bit my face off.
I lol'd.

I don't understand, though, why if a white says n****r, it's racist, but blacks can call white's crackers as much as they desire.

[introduction]

Racism will be phased out over time, it's inevitable. There's really no point talking about it.

[terror_91]

I don't understand, though, why if a white says n****r, it's racist, but blacks can call white's crackers as much as they desire.
I'm not really sure if that's the case but also calling a white person a cracker, what does that even really mean? Calling a black person the n-word, that is a reference to dehumanizing them.

You do have a point about the double standards of racism but at the end of the day, for me personally, it doesn't bother me that much.

I'm not sure of the history or where-abouts of that word, but I just know that it allows blacks to be racist towards whites, consequence free, while if it happens the other way around, all hell breaks loose.

God, I have so much beef with this topic that I want to bring up.

[kwsqd]

I don't see what your beef is.

I completely understand your point. There is a definite acceptance of racism towards white people and it is not a two way street at all.

I just get over it, which you may not be able to do, because at the end of the day at least I'm not black.

Now this needs explaining because I could easily see that it could be construed as racism but that's not what I mean. I mean it in the sense that blacks are still discriminated on a day-to-day basis and that's not something that I would ever want to have to deal with. I have a lot of respect for black people who make because they make it when there is so much stacked against them. I hope this clarifies what I'm saying.

[kwsqd]

Um. What.
You seriously don't think that racism towards whites is less likely to be punished? I think that's naive. People go apeshit over racism towards non-whites but not the other way round.

I understand. Some [black] people think that white should suffer for all of the things that we did back in the 60's, but most of the people saying this weren't alive in the 60's. I don't even understand why they would have a thing like Black History month, damn, there is no defined White History month.

A bit. The majority of it is not serious but there have been a few times. Are you saying that you can't be racist to white people? That's what it sounds like you are suggesting.

I don't know how things are in the U.K, or really any of it's past, but all the segregation stuff that went on in the U.S 50 years ago is over.
The U.S claims to be all about equality, so they could at least make an effort to not favor blacks just because our generation's grandparents went through some stuff. Yeah, the 60's were some hard times, I wouldn't have wanted to live through that, but fact is, most of the people who went through all of that are dead now.

[terror_91]

Fair enough, my misinterpretation. Like I said, my experience is minimal but it does happen. I think the best example was being called a cracker by a black friend of mine. The teacher did nothing about it. What do you think would have happened to me if I had called him a racial slur? The teacher would have gone apeshit. I don't really care about it (I like to think that I have thick enough skin to get over it and appreciate my opportunities) but I helping jenna to prove a point.

This is all anecdotal though, it's pretty much meaningless.

You talk as if racism doesn't exist in society anymore. No one is favoring blacks in society. Posts like this make you seem either: uneducated, terribly misguided, or I don't know what... foolish?

Also, do you have no concept of time? A 20 year old person in 1960 would be 70 today. They aren't dead.

I agree that she's an idiot. I don't understand why you're comparing her to me, though. I get that you don't like me, that's been pretty obvious, and I don't really give a shit, I just really don't understand why someone who's never had a conversation with me would compare me to Zion, the biggest fail of an account on this site.

I guess it all depends on the context, and I'll partially agree with you that some racism towards whites goes on, but it is negligible compared to racism the other way... that's why it is pretty much ignored. Although I think the problem there has to do with your teacher not having balls more than anything. haha

Blacks have been consistently discriminated against. You look at George Bush's election in 2004 (possibly 2000) and there were a large number of black people who had their votes disqualified for something or other. At a pinnacle point in the country's running, blacks were discriminated against.
The majority of racism is just simple discrimination, which is why it is so disheartening. I can't imagine being turned down to a club or not being able to catch a taxi just because of the color of my skin.

The reason that Black History Month is there is not favouritism, it's just giving a fair chance.

Why should it be ignored though? That's my point. There is a double standard there but like I said, it doesn't bother me that much and you're right, it is very one way (but not completely ;-)).

Possibly, could also be that casual racism towards white people is deemed (somewhat) socially acceptable :-p

It shouldn't be ignored at all, but I think it is because of the disproportionate amount of racism that does exist in society. So you have a good point there.

haha well if I were a teacher, I'd lay down the law.

So my honest to god first experience with racism was being told by my black classmate that I couldnt be the black ranger because I was white.

/fact

[overdrive91]

I got called squinty eyes because im half asian but not really giving a fuck.

[terror_91]

Are you talking about the Pwer Rangers? You know what's funny about that, and i didn't realize until i was watching one of those "i love the 90's" shows, that the Black power ranger was African American, the white power ranger was Caucasian, the yellow ranger, Asian, i forget what the green ranger was though.I thought that was funny and interesting.
But seriously, my mother is from haiti and my father is from a small coastal town in Portugal called Algarve, and i went to a small, predominantly White school in suburban Long Island. The kids there were awful to me, because they didn't know what to make of me. I had my fathers nose, my hair was striaght, but i looked milato so the white kids knew i wasn't white and the black kids knew i wasn't black. people were afraid of me because they didn't know what the hell i was. I made a couple friends, but they were more a group of people i just sat with at lunch because i didn't want to sit alone. I still got bottles thrown at me, not water bottle, hard ass snapple bottles, by everyone. I eventually had to transfer out of that school to go to a school that was more racially integrated and the rest of high school was a lot better. I'm not bitter and i don't hold grudges. I've met incredible people from every walk of life and i've met shitty people from every walk of life.
That really sucks. I'm sorry.

Seriously? That's all Black History month does? First off, Abraham Lincoln may have passed the Emancipation Proclamation but he still had slaves, so I don't honor him whatsoever. Secondly, my school just had a program for Black History month and neither Martin Luther King Jr. OR Malcolm X were mentioned. There are plenty of other notable African Americans, thankyouverymuch.
