I dont really think other races (please lets not limit this to whites) have any reason to get angry about this too. If blacks have a problem with it I see that but any other race shouldnt have a say in what blacks can and cant do within legal boundaries.

when you use racial slurs against black people, its an attempt to remind them of their inherent inferiority - black people have never had the upper hand because we've never let them, from slavery
you can't offend me for being white because white has never been a bad thing, its never been associated with systematic hardship
its just not a thing

yes
I'm glad you posted this
If a White person told me they were offended by being called "mayo" or what have you then I couldn't really blame them, however, a White person being called "pasty" is no where near the equivalent of a Black person being called "darkie," or "coon" because, like you said, those words remind them that they are inferior in a big way compared to their White counterparts.
What does calling a White person a slur actually do to hurt them?

Honestly, if you don't understand the concept of racism, it is better to just admit so rather than using the POC's struggle to weave yourself this fake 'white oppression'. Because it doesn't exist. And you just embarrass yourself. If I were a white person, I wouldn't give a **** about 'Black People Meet'.

Some people just want be oppressed so badly... Just pathetic

It almost seems as if they can prove they are oppressed, which is complete ********, then it's acceptable for minorities to be.

Why does it bother you so much that people want to meet others of their same race and creed or religion? How does blackpeoplemeet affect your life though? White people who constantly try to be oppressed and play the victim are so ****ing annoying.

Because they don't realize being associated with the color black and darkness has a negative connotation in it itself. I really don't even like being called black because it's associated with death, evil, and the lost of innocence. On the contrary, white is associated with purity and Heaven.
Pasty and mayo versus charcoal, smut, darkness (where all the bad things happen)

I've heard this argument before,
and it really is interesting that these classifications are what they are given the terms

well...black is associated with the night, which back in the days before electricity, symbolized danger, the unknown, creepiness, etc...so it's no surprise that black (the color) would have those connotations.
Not a racist thing, just a logical thing.

Dating within your own race is not racist.

No. Most dating sites are full of white people trying to meet white people. All this does it make it easier for blacks to meet blacks.

I genuinely can't tell if this racist thing you always have going on is for real or just a ploy for attention.

d
Exactly.
And Black people ONLY make up 13% of the U.S. population.
White people have zero concept of understanding the obstacles it is to be a minority because they live in a country that was built for them by default. Like, white people can literally get up and move to almost any State, neighborhood, or area they want and not have any issues when it comes to finding a job, a spouse, and making a living while we as minorities have to deal with so much racial tensions that we need make sure that we can find a community that we belong to and is tolerant of our people.
