On the outside, yeah, like with the way they dressed for example, but it's not like the people at the party just sat around and made racist remarks the whole time. It was just a party.

No? How do you know?

I mean clearly this is what they think of black people. This was in honor of MLK. Jersey's, watermelon and the "hood". How is that NOT racist? Any sort of prejudice you have against a certain race is racism.

Whites feigning outrage (at outrage) and playing the victimization card as our past and continued oppressor will never not get a person of color angry. It's an inevitability.

Why don't y'all (yes, y'all - applicable to each and every last one of y'all) get this by now?

Because no one in their right mind would succumb to that idealogy. Yes, your white counterpart has certain advantages over you, better opportunities than you, better life expectancy than you--but that is what the white supremacist culture that was created by a group of white people and partially by the government have wrongfully induced. Your white counterpart, aka the white boy sitting in front of you in class, is not to blame.

Re-analyze who is really oppressing you. The white boy sitting in front of you in class or something much larger.

True but nevertheless racial discrimination is not unique to the black experience in America. Ill like for the black race to shed this racial insecurity and sense of victimization honestly.

No we are not always the victim, especially when we appropriate forms of racial inequality in our race as well. Truth is regardless of race were all HUMAN, we are far from perfect. No issue is individual to a certain demographic the issues we face are universal. Instead of turning everything into an US vs. THEM how about a WE as the human race vs. whats not right in society

You're right, but there is Unique Racial Discrimination when it comes to Any Brown person in any country with a major melanin lacking government. Brown people for the last 600 years have been rape, pillaged, massacred, eradicated from existence, have had their history collected and destroyed, in India brown skin people have a institutionalized sense of self hatred that they bleach their skin, in US they put chemicals in their hair and burn their scalps to fit in with the white majority.

Didn't Obama give a speech at ASU?

Oh, role reversal?
Should I round up some ppl and dress in KKK suits going after white ppl.

It seems fun, I swear minorities have no sense of humor. As if someone make a fuzz when they dress as redneck.

Planet Mars genuinely believing that if blacks collectively kiss up to the white man, they'll suddenly work to reform a system that already plays perfectly in their favour. Poor ha

Unfortunately in the world that has been made for us today, blacks have to work harder to achieve certain opportunities. So with that, I believe blacks and whites TOGETHER need to cause a reform in the system by helping blacks get to those opportunities and goals. That's the high road. Not kissing ass, ignoring the problem, and like most of you are doing--holding a grudge against an entire race rather than a group of individual persons.

[Javan]

Yes. Because when we say white ppl, we mean every single white person. Including Jameson. I don't think you understand that even if that white person besides me isn't the cause, he will still benefit from our current system and will most likely work in favor of the system in future anyway.

No doubt they were being racist, I'm not arguing that. I was commenting about the blatant racist remarks in this thread and that's it's (IMO) a lot worse than wearing jerseys and eating watermelon.

I see what you're saying but you have to understand that while it isn't right and I agree with you on that front whites use their racism to have a status quo here in the US.
Police has stopped black males for no reason other than being suspicious because of a stereotype.

Let me quote myself to explain better.

You need to know that sometimes, that guy who's had too many in a bar might use certain words to address you if you bump into him, or beat him at pool/darts and get a little too happy that you won. You need to know that you might be followed around a store even if you're wearing a suit. You need to know that you might get pulled over in a nice car if you're cruising too flashy in the suburbs.

You just need to know that the eyes that look at you perceive you differently, and more often you'd be at a disadvantage than other people who are farther along on the Pantone scale.

racism in America exists not just unspoken, but even between the lines of legislation in such a way that everything looks fine on paper but wrong in practice.

Today's racism isn't publically dudes in hoods burning crosses into lawns (even though this still happens) or people denying entry to people of color (even though this still happens). Today's racism is a series of deliberate coincidences. Today's racism is the "smart" white QB and the "athletic" black QB. Today's racism is more black men being imprisoned for drugs despite more non-black men having/using/selling/distributing them.

Todays racism is politicians telling a coincidentally majority black group of people to "leave the plantation" in a speech. Today's racism is subtle, but omnipresent for every person of color who is eternally aware of his place in America.

I won't have to worry about getting shot with a hose like in the 60s, but I know I am not going to get into that apartment complex even with 800 credit for "reasons".

So all in all race is very much an issue still in the states so some blacks are going to be antsy.

We have this stigma of being thugs who eat watermelon and can't afford nice things are always looking to steal.
This longterm stigma and stereotype doesn't compare to some comments made on here.

I'm pretty sure white people have played the racism card too. Case in point:

An entire race has to bear a burden of what some individuals have done in the past and even continues today? Interesting.

Yes. White people have to deal with the consequences of the actions of their ancestors, just like black people have to deal with the consequences of the actions of white people's ancestors. You don't get a free pass from the effects of history just because you're white. That would be racism.

Yes, it sucks to suffer for things people did in the past, but white people in America suffer far less from our ancestor's action than the minorities they oppressed.

I hope this helps you gain some perspective.

lmao I bet the they thought they weren't racist.

that's a little unfair.

Just like black people cannot help being born black, white people cannot help being born white.

A mature solution to racism isn't just pointing fingers and cornering people into boxes based on what skin color they were born with. Isn't that the original problem?
