Am I Racist and don't know it??

by the way that should be am "I" racist, sorry for the ebonics lesson

--I can't stand ebonics, if you speak ebonics and call me playa, then I won't give you any respect.

--If you want special treatment in getting a job, scholastic acceptance, or anything else, then I can't respect you. (47 states use the quota system in law school admissions)

--I heard a rap song say "making money the fly way" if you believe that it is "fly" to sell drugs and gang bang, then I have no respect for you.

--If you laugh at all the white jokes on BET and get offended by any black joke, then you are an idiot and need to lighten up or censor BET.

--if you see nothing wrong with Affirmative action and the fact that you get an advantage over people because of the color of your skin, then I can't respect you.

--If you wear fubu and bandanas around your head and are loud and obnoxious (like everyone at mardi gras), then I will give you zero respect

--I have been a waiter and noticed that MOST blacks leave little to no tip. Even the black waiters agreed. I worked at a Christmas tree lot and all the employees would scatter when a black customer approached. If you are one of these people who never tip anyone because you feel that their services are owed to you, then I will NEVER respect you.

--If you want equal representation on television even though "your people" only make up 12% of the population, then you need to realize that "equal representation" is another word for reverse discrimination.

--If you EVER try to degrade me and put me down by calling me white boy, I will shove a foot up your ass

I'm not the guy thats says all black people steal, all black people smell, yada yada, thats BS, everything stated above has BEEN OBSERVED by personal experience, I have met plenty of cool black people, and have some cool black friends, but according to most of you, I am racist.

I admit, I get disgusted when I hear about the latest civil rights law suit, SERIOUSLY IS LIFE THAT HARD?? SO HARD THAT YOU HAVE SUE EVERYONE WHEN THINGS DON'T GO YOUR WAY?? AND THE ONLY REASON PEOPLE SUE FOR DISCRIMINATION IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SELF CONCIOUS ABOUT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, LET IT FUCKING GO.

MLK was a great man and he had a dream his dream has been accomplised, now GET YOUR OWN DREAM and stop preaching his.

Those are my beliefs, if I am racist, then I am racist.

CHICAGO, July 13 (UPI) -- Two white waiters who were removed from a
banquet attended by a black Chicago alderman known for her battle against
racism are suing the hotel where the function was held.

The two waiters, who have worked for 11 years at the Palmer House Hilton
Hotel, claim they were removed simply because of their race at the behest of
Alderman Dorothy Tillman's staff.

"It made me feel very small. It was terrible for a few days," waiter Ahmet
Gundogdu told Friday's Chicago Sun-Times.

The lawsuit, filed against the hotel, said Gundogdu and Michael Otte were
just told to go home. They wound up working another event at the hotel that
night and are still employed there.

Tillman, who was not named in the suit, said she remembers saying she
wanted more black staff working the event but she maintains she never told
the hotel not to use any white employees.

"We shouldn't eat where we can't work," said Tillman.
"it's not personal against anybody. I'm just pro my people."

Attorney Jerome Marconi, who is representing the waiters, called Tillman's
remarks ironic.

"She's practicing what she abhors," he said.

I don't think you're a rascist, you offer reasonable experiences( unlike other B or W) commenters here.....some make no sense or have no basis for hateful comments....there hasn't been a WET thread yet, but if there was it would cause quite a stir.....and the simple fact remains the experiences/situations brought to the table here........cause tensions......both ways.......I understand that people have a right to express their views, but I believe the right to speak freely gets abused in this country much like the media...abuses their power to create more of the problems. I have a problem with the people who mistreat the native Americans......(no, I am not Indian) but I wonder why there can't be meaningful threads on how to get along better.......suggestions or solutions? An Asian doctor may save your life one day, or a Caucasian soldier may take a bullet intended for you....too many different situations could come into your life at any given time.....Live and Let Live....Everybody

Hey Steel B

If they call you a racist for a post like that........Fuck em....they're racist. Can't separate the Bs from the realist. Nothing you can do about that......just keep moving forward.....fast

MLK'S famous speech was NOT for black people only, but for white,yellow and every color under the sun . If you fail to see this then I am sorry that you missed what he had in mind. How is equal representation another word for reverse discrimination? Someone does not like the way the networks, abc,cbs,nbc are doing there job and wants to see more minorities in the anchor chair so they go and start their own network,BET , and they are wrong for that? This is america and if you can do it faster, better, more quality etc....then go for it and make your $$$$$ !!I do not think you are a racist but you are opinionated and seem agitated by some of the things you have seen and I do respect a person who says what is on his/her mind .Nowadays its not what you say but how you say it and we all have to be careful about what words come out of our mouths,but on the net many REALLY let loose and write many things that they would never,ever say because they would be fired from a job or alienated in their community.The waiter situation is sad because we all should practice what we preach and I always make sure that I TREAT EVERYONE THE WAY I WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED AND THEN SOME and I cannot do any better than that! MARTIN LUTHER KINGS DREAM is far from being accomplished because like I said his dream applied to all people and that means the catholics and prostestants and the jewish people and the palestinians and a hundred other cases around the world. When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? I think you do and I sure as hell do, so where do we go from here? I have had this conversation with you and we had reached some common ground I thought but I am saddened that you feel some how you are a racist because you are not. I may pm you but please reply to this so we can "TALK" some more and through discussion we can see where we are both at on some subjects and not flame or hate just talk.

Racism is a touchy thing but one thing is for sure. It is a global thing and it will never go away.
I have been lucky enough to have been to 13 countries in my life, so far, and one thing is for sure. Racism lives everywhere. Some people hate black people, some people hate whites, some people hate Americans (actually most other countries hate Americans) and some people hate everyone.
The only thing that you can do is be the best person you can and treat everyone the way you would like to be treated. I mean everyone... because you ever know when you may be walking in their shoes or when you may need their help.
I try not to dislike or pass judgement on anyone until they have shown me what they are made of.

 

[alptraum]

I wouldn't say you are rascist, just remember racism is alot more than just a white and black issue.
