The Daily Show illustrates the cleft between black and white Americans on racism

[QUOTE=Miss Bella]Who is the racist now?[/QUOTE]


Like I said already, I have white family members so, I know when certain people use the "n" word...

My wife or my mother in law will tell me about people who we both know who drop the "n" word like its hot..

Hmmmmm. Ive been around these people and they dont seem to do that when Im around.. :confusedshrug: I wonder why that is?

Suddenly they have a nice check on their lip when they see me.. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Graviton]You live in Alabama though, that's expected. :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
yeah some of it really can hurt though. i've gotten close to people, but then i learn they still dont feel like we're equals y'know? i've had a lot of good experiences with older white people though. a huge majority of the time their really nice :D

But seeing your stories of alleged racism your generalizing and calling all white people scared is also racism. I thought you, who have been through so much oppression would be above this crap. After all an old lady did scream at you, the horror!:(

You should preface it by saying "[I]some[/I] white people" or "[I]most[/I] white people" otherwise it comes across as a generalization.

OK "some" white people

But even with that, how does that equal racism?

a generalization does not = racism..

Me saying saying someone is scared to say a slur to my face doesnt make me a racist... :oldlol: thats silly

No, what is silly is you seeing racism in an old lady saving a parking spot for her husband and I will not argue if it was right or not.

I was just being generous as you in using the "R" word.

She told the cop I called her racial slur when my wife is white.. :oldlol: and there was people around who called her on that lie... She lied

then the cop ignored her screaming over his shoulder and acted like I was the one driving the confrontation when we were walking to our car the whole time..

She was clearly p*ssed because I took the parking spot so she concocted a racial lie to get the cop to arrest me..

It didnt work though, because we basically ignored them and left before it got out of hand..

:confusedshrug:

Rasheed1, you're being insensitive to the crazed, the maniacs, the militant white supremacists, etc, etc.

SOME OF THEM WOULD SAY IT TO YOUR FACE!

:lol :D

So she said you used racial slurs which makes it racism? got it.

Some black people are perpetual victims. They'll never drop the victim mentality and cries of racism because it's an easy and handy cop out.

Racism is built on generalizations and stereotypes. Allow yourself some wiggle room by only including a segment of a group as opposed to the whole group. Generalizing doesn't make you racist, but it doesn't make you seem objective either.

:oldlol: Yeah, Rasheed isn't very bright if you hadn't noticed.

[I]Accusations of racism is, in fact, racism itself![/I]

Am I too white to see the racism in Rasheed1 second story?
