Okay this is not a flame-bait thread or whatever, I'm just honestly curious.. I see a lot of people on atrl say when a black artist doesn't win an award it's because of racism for example Bey's AOTY award loss to Beck.. I'm just curious to see if you agree or disagree that people on atrl use the "race card" too often? It just seems sometimes the topic has nothing to do with race but people mention it?

Like I said this is not a hate thread or whatever so please try to have a normal conversation

Why is racism only ever claimed to be yelled and screamed? Some of us whisper it you know. I personally like to use my indoors voice when discussing the matter

Why people call Mariah black?

I mean:

RACISMÉ!

Well.. she's not white?..

?

Perhaps. But I find the people who call out people calling racism to be a bit extra.

She's a quarter black and half white.

Yeah, and I get the feeling that if you're rude to a lot of black people in any way shape or form they connect it to racism somehow. At my work his black guy rode his hover board thing in the store and when we told him not to he yelled **** THE ESTABLISHMENT started criticizing my boss' height and paycheck while continuing to ride it and thought we were focusing on him because he's black when really you just can't ride those hover boards in there

Where do they have working hoverboard????

Why are you guys so focused on him being black?

Um no

Are you white OP? Cause that would make a LOT of sense.

Maybe, but it's always funny to see how (some, not all, we know) white people get so bothered when the "race card" is pulled, whether it's relevant or not. You can tell just by the way they love to jump and scream "Race Card!!!!!!" how they really feel.

Personally, I think racism happens too often but that's just me

Yes. People aren't victimised 24/7.

Yes but why does that matter? I'm not even complaining.. I'm just asking a question.. So why does my skin colour matter?

No.

This.

They actually are though
