Okay, if you were treated like crap because of the color of your skin wouldn't you build up a touch skin and become bitter? It is only human nature to become this way. What is funny is that when a white person experiences only one example of racism, they complain about it. Well, try being treated like an inferior for you entire life and see how you become.
It was only up to the 1960's when blacks were considered inferior legally. Yes, if you were black you weren't good enough to associate with whites. And today racism might not be legally supported, but there is still much of it today. I’ve been around enough whites to know that there is a twinge of ethnocentrism in them. It is in all of us. Why do blacks associate mostly with whites and not assimilate? Well, why would you try to fit in with the white culture when it only rejects you and will never see you as an equal? Then the blacks don’t want you either because you are a trader.
More than a several white women I have met have actually gotten offended when a black guy hit on them. The always look angry and disgusted; “that black guy over there hit on me.” In their minds they were thinking, “How dare that BLACK guy hit on me” They don’t react this way when a white guy does it, no matter how unattractive he is.
My white boyfriend had a fit because he was followed in a store by a black manager. He complained about how he was being followed because he was white. I told him, welcome to the world of the racist. White people have no idea what it is like to be black or a minority. Even in a black community, a white person is considered a superior in a group of inferiors.
So those of you whites that complain about blacks complaining about their treatment, why don’t you paint your skin brown, put a afro wig on your head, and use those prosthetic noses and other physical feature pieces made of plastic and make yourself look black. Then you will have the right to make a judgment on what it is like to be black. Other than that, shut you big traps. I don’t know even what it is like to be a real black woman.
