Racism

okay i read a racist thread a couple hours ago, someone complaining about a group of people breaking into cars around his neighbourhood, im assuming it was deleted coz it was racist, in which case, thanks to the mod who deleted it, not sure which group of people he was talking about coz it was a term i am unfamiliar with, it started with a J and sounded like the N word, figured it probably means the same thing..........


anyway getting to the point, ive been thinking, has anyone here ever been racially attacked, attack could be either verbal or physical...... as a Jew i have had a couple of incidents in my life, for about 2 years in grades 5 and 6 i had a girl in my class whos mum would follow me, three block walk to my house, just to call me a kike and other racial terms, since then pretty much any racial remarks, made to anyone of any race, offends me,

however i have a friend, he has been my best mate for the last 14 years now, who is Asian, since its a bit easier to see him as an asian than it is to see me as a jew, he probably gets more racial comments thrown at him than i get at me, but he NEVER gets offended, i have never seen it bother him once, can anyone else here completely ignore those comments aimed at them, i would love to be able to shrug racism off, but i just cant.......

btw, that same girl goes to the same university i do, its a big campus and we are in different faculties so i rarely see her, but we take the same bus there, so i usually catch her staring at me alot, whenever i make eye contact i just act as if im trying to remember her but cant place here anywhere, it really pisses her off...... funny

I am not racist.

I don't give a flying fuck if you are white, yellow, black, purple, or green. I fucking hate you. I am not racist, i hate every fucking one.

On a more serious note.

I don't hate everyone lol. But don't get me started on them antarticans...ll flushing off their ice and shit.....annoying bastards...

yeah, used to happen every day at school or everyday i left my house...

oh yeah, the comments rarely bother me, it's the attitude of the people (it's never just a person...) and how they just keep digging in with it and saying it over and over, drives me fucking insane... but then again saying anything or making any noise over and over will drive me insane...

Just for the record.......racism is NOT tolorated here so be careful with the replies.....

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

come on mine was a joke lol

im not racist, a skin colour is just a gene, like being tall. you never hear anyone go hey lets make fun of that guy cause hes short. people are just stupid and have low self-esteem, so they make fun of others

Racism:the euphoric feeling you get at the indy 500,,,Racism

sometimes. nothing I can do about it though. life goes on.

Listen girls, I don't care if you're purple. If you look good I'll smash.

BTW, there are some SLAMMIN chicks who post on this site, none of whom are purple. I kinda thought everyone who posted here was just a bunch of nerds.

Hey man, don't put down on my people man. You're probably working for a nerd right now.

God I hate Nerdists.

i take no offense at your libelous remarks concerning my adopted homeland, but then i took no offense when they beat the shit out of me for bein' the only white boy hanging out in the wrong end of oakland after dark (the scars have healed nicely, thank-you).

i guess i'm not too bright, am i

What? Yes they do.

yeah i agree with perp on that one, people do make fun of shorter people, just like we make fun of fatter people, skinnier people, taller people, etc.....

I am not a racist, however I respect the rights of those who are. We should be able to hate anyone for any reason and to say so where we choose. Now having said that it is, and should be, a crime to physically attack anyone specifically if it is a direct result of the hatred stated above. I'm so tired of everyone whining about what "offends" them. Get over it, it is our right and sometimes our responsibility to be "offensive". Now some moron loses his temper and shouts th "N" word at some hecklers and his career is ruined. Ruined due to his personal views and opinions. Reverse the situation, another moron stands on stage and does an entire routine about "Crackers" and "Honkeys" (the first one being a direct reference to slavery, albeit, about the slave owner) and his routine is fine and dandy. We need to get over ourselves and start realizing we are going to hear nasty and vile things everyday. It's life!!!!

okay i have heard many people compare richards to rock (michael and chris), the fact is when richards yelled the N word, it was the way he said it that differs him from rock, richards said the word with hate, you could hear it in his voice, when rock says cracker you can tell he is joking, you can tell he doesnt hate white people and doesnt mean anything buy it

and yes, there is a thing called freedom of speech, you are allowed to say what you want when you want, that is your lawfull right, but there are different types of laws, there are real laws, (the laws of your country, dont kill, steal, etc.....) which is where freedom of speech falls in, there are laws you have with your peers, you and mates get together, there are somethings that you are allowed to do with your best friends that you cant do with ure strangers (such as a playfull punch on the army, farting in theirfaces, etc....) then there are societys laws, these are laws that are made by the society you live with, now whilst legally you can call anyone whatever you want, societies laws, are against that, so while you will not be arrested, you will not be very liked either, and youll probably (hopefully) get your ass kicked

words are wrong, do you think it is right for a fully grown 45 year old woman to follow an 11 year old boy home from school (i lived a 3 block walk away she lived right across the road) just to call me a kike? the whole way home?

It used to bother me when I was going to school. I've been attacked verbally and physically because of my race...many times. It doesn't bother me now. I'm very proud to be who I am :) but it did take me a long time to get to this point.

What about sexists? Some men have such a shitty attitude about women. Calling girls bitches and whores. Or like men who beat their wives and how in some countries women are beaten and are forced to cover up and have to listen to their male "masters". It's ridicoulus, Women are just as good as men are.

sexism is a whole other debate

'imagine' has ideas that seem like a utopia, but unfortunately will never happen. i alway think of an incident when i was a little kid. me and my brother were outside my old house, and one of our friends walked up and wanted to go whereever we were headed too. i told him, he asked why, couldnt think of anything, so i said cause he was brown(lol brown). my mom heard me from inside, and i learned better from that.

respect a person's right to live. the KKK can hate all they want, but they dont gotta make someone's life miserable. the color of ones skin does not dictate superiority.

I grew up around all kinds of different races. My husband on the other hand grew up in a small town called Grundy Va there are no blacks, asians, hispanics, nothing but white people and most of them raceist. He had never had a friend of a different race until he moved down to NC. Im just amazed at how there are some places in America who still believe that were in the 50's. When I was living with my parents we moved to a town that neighbored Grundy and I was shocked to see only 3 mixed kids in the whole school. I hated it there and was put down for my views on the subject of race. I couldnt understand how you can not like someone because they are a different color. I mean its just a color, thats it, apples are different colors cars are different colors cat, dog, everythins, is a differnt color. If you peel off the layer of skin were all the same. How can someone be so ingnorant about something they are so passionate about?

I was nearly mugged outside my own home by two marrocans who followed me home. =/ I looked at them from across the street for like 1 second and then they try and jack me... Anyway, they were like: "Why are you fish eyeing me blad?" (:rollseyes:) I said i wasn't. They said we don't like Americans and if i wanted a punch in the face." I said I didn't want a punch in the face and said i was canadian ;) So, i didn't wanna let those fools know where i live so i ran across the street unexpectadly next to some old man and started walkin with him for like a sec and then they just left.. That was years ago and I told that story because they didn't like my race because i'm half american and half english i could've nearly gotten jacked and banged up.. But, i didn't. Technically, i don't find cracker or honkey offensive but it shouldn't matter what the word sounds like or looks like, you should only take into account the actual meaning. It's derogatory and lets face it, racist.

An australian male called me a "Slanty eyed slope" in anger once. and although it was more funny to me than offensive. i snapped him in the face. i can still remember the sound of my knuckles cracking against his cheek bone. he didn't have any racials slurs to say after that.

i know violence is definitely not the right way to handle racism, but i've been in a few pub brawls in the past so i know i can handle myself, and the adrenaline rush is almost better than weed.

that memory stands out the most to me, because i was 19 at the time and the australian male in question was in his 30's. it was david and goliath i tells ya!

I used to get bullied coz im a jew, i used to get pranked... So i found out who the main person doing it was and i bashed him round the canister. Then it all stopped.

The only brunt racism I ever gotten was being called a "wetback" by some idiot. The funny thing about it is I'm half-asian/half-white so I laughed it off.

I don't encounter direct racism, but I notice a few look at me with distain, not by whites so much, but by asians. Guess they don't like my tall height and white features.

But I believe the only way to fight racism is to laugh at it. It's ridiculous people actually hold hateful feelings because of a certain group of people.

most of my mates are black, i am white i have a few asian friends, i am not racist. but it offends me when people move to my country and expect me to follow there belives and they dont speak english im ok with tourists if but if you live some where speak the native language, for example i want to move to china later in life, im going to learn chinese well prob cantanese (spelt) but yea i personaly have expierinced racism from some 14-16 year old African kids in town i get stuf like honky yelled at me i dont care, but it makes you think.

EaZy aka me is

firstly wtf is a wetback? the only time ive ever heard that was in the movie Pulp Fiction, had no idea what it meant???

also i used to go to a jewish school, our uniform was very distinctive down to the Kippa's (skull caps) we had to wear, there was this lady who lived in the area, whenever we passed her on the streets shed always shudder, as if it was bad luck for a jew to cross her path, so yeah i know how you feel about the looks of disdain you get....

Wetback is racial slur for latino. Some people mistaken my mix for being latino, it's funny at times.

mean people suck

Actually, smoking cannabis reduces the amount of cancer cells. It does the complete opposite of what people think, plus cannabis kills Anthrax bacteria too. ;)

I've only come accross some harsh racism once in my life. I'm a white guy, but I immigrated from Holland 9yrs ago, and last year, I was working in a warehouse picking orders, and I worked with a fellow named Joe, he was VERY racist. He had problems though, like head problems, and I think he's just a little lost in life, but who knows, his parents could be like him too.

My first week of work, I heard him say several racial slurs and I kind of laughed it off, as I thought, "Okay, he's outspoken but can't be serious." Turns out he was dead serious.

We had a new manager start when we were both were there, and he happened to be black. Nice fellow, but things didn't work out for him and he left shortly after (the manager). We were talking in the lunch room one day and we were talking about the leaving of the new manager, work talk, you know, and Joe comes out and says, "oh, THAT nigger! Good!" so I piped up and said, "what's your problem you Nazi bitch? Are you just mad that he is more successful than you, and you're here for life picking boxes off a shelf?" I was pissed off man. After months of hearing him talk, he can hear me now.

After I said, that, he gets right in my face and says to me, "you and you're entire family of dirty immigrants should have been shot the second you crossed the border." I'm glad my supervisor was there because I picked up a broom stick and had it pulled back, directed for his skull.

His attitude never changed though. Even after complaining to the manager, he just told me, "oh, Joe? Just ignore him" yeah, well that's kind of hard to do when I hear him say how much he hates niggers and spics all the time, so I quit. :p

all racism is a fucking joke....end of story

Damn right, were not differnt races, were one race. The Human race.

Everyone is exactly the same on this planet. Male and Female, with the exception of lady boys.

We are the same.

I had a beautiful thing happen to me when I was in Jr. High. We had a blind kid, Mark, in our school. Mark lost his vision around 2 years old. We were BSing during lunch and civil rights (big issue in the 60s) came up. Back then it was OK, sorta, to be racist. Mark chimed into the conversation with "I don't remember color. People are just voices to me. I just listen to the voices." I've tried to go through life "just listening to the voices" and not paying a bit of attention to skin tones. And anyway, race boils down to a question like this- which is the better dog, black Labs, yellow Labs or chocolate Labs. The answer is that coat color doesn't make a bit of difference in how good a dog is, just like skin color does not affect what kind of person someone is. Assh*les and saints come in all colors.

"People are just voices to me. I just listen to the voices."

Thanks for sharing that Storm...what a beautiful story :)

racism is the one thing that makes me question the existance of god ( i dont believe in it) but racism really makes me wonder..... if i was god and i made the earth and everything on it, damn straight i would put different races on it. if i was just gonna sit back and watch what happened to humans when i gave them free will, different races would be a must. to put it in perspective, imagine an ant hill, its interesting yeah sure ants are great. BUT, imagine taking a bucket and filling it with black ants, fire ants, army ants, alllllllllllll different kinds of ants, and seeing what happens. thats like god and the earth, who wants to see just one kind of human, mix it up....see what happens, its like pay-per-view almighty style.
