but why hold grudges for things that happened hundreds of years ago? whats the point seriously? that's only gonna cause more problems. Wrongs were righted and I'm not gonna be told that I should feel so guilty and its ok to be racist towards my culture if the wrongs were something my family never had anything to do with and that no one alive had any affect on. 150 years later its time to move on. We can only learn about history so its not repeated. Its pointless to hold grudges and try to get revenge

The thing is the wrongs are not completely righted. All you have to do is look at socio-economic indicators to show that as a demographic, people of colour are still showing suffering from the times of the past as a result of institutionalised racism.

why? I've been harassed endlessly along with every other gay man which is why I've yet to meet one without some disabling mental disorder like addiction or depression. This is ok in society right now when all you need is a black person to scream racism and everyone shuts up immediately. and then when you're called out for being racist you say "white tears" and other nonsensical bs, that's not right.

I agree! It's also why you can't make accurate intra-race comparisons either e.g. Black people face more oppression than Latinos, Native Americans face more oppression than Blacks.

as a gay man my life is exponentially more difficult than any straight black man's life but you don't see me making excuses and screaming "HOMOPHOBIA!!" at every little thing

Not you playing the Oppression Olympics right after reducing the oppression people have faced for centuries into an issue of holding grudges.

Because being shot dead or chokeholded to death counts as being "shut up"

You stay derailing and making this about yourself instead of understanding the struggles an entire race of people have had to face for years.

true. black people as a whole still have it rougher but that doesn't excuse racism from them. Also the things called racist today are usually not racist at all.

Not you tearing down gay man by saying they all must have some disabling mental disorder like addiction or depression. Bye. I'm gay myself and I'm not depressed or addicted to anything nor are any of my other gay friends. Stop making excuses and the real reason you are complaining seems to be showing that gay issues are being pushed aside for race ones now.

No I'm not racist. I am tired of being beaten down and told I should feel guilty because of my skin color. I've seen more racism against white people in the last year than I've seen in the rest of my life against any race and you can't deny that truth. Its plastered all over this forum and the liberal media that its ok to be racist to white people. I have no problem with skin color or race but its obvious that people have a problem with me because of it and I'm not just gonna lay down and take it.

The. Tea. SpilT. Literally fed up with it and its funny how its the blacks always pulling the race card or mentioning slavery. Like is it not time to MOVE ON you don't see the Jews forever crying about the holocaust.

why do you keep bringing that up? criminals being killed has nothing to do with anything. You act as if everyone uses black people for target practice when its just two cases. stop

Don't tell me about reading comprehension when you literally cannot comprehend anything about history, systematic racism/oppression, or the affect it has on society today. I honestly feel sorry for how little you seem to understand.

Ok now we're getting somewhere, at least. As long as you make the connection that people of colour today have it tougher because of the past, there's something.

You're right. It's very unfortunate, life sucks.

And I'm sorry to say this but making it all about yourself is just another cop out to not address the topic. You sound like a 12-year old stamping their feet around saying, "If I can't have it, no one can!" You shouldn't be trying to tear down other groups just because you feel like you aren't achieving something just as good. We should all be working together, not fighting like this

Not racism? I suggest you do some reading and open up your eyes.
