These people in my school (they are black,and im not racist -_-) say to me all the time that I am Racist and then they laugh.
I don't do anything to them and I have friends that are their color too. They should think that they are being racist for not having any friends of my color and picking on all of the other colors.
Calling someone racist is just racist.

Only the "gang" doesn't have friends that are white.

Declaring another person a "racist" has become a power play. These people say this to you because if you are racist, then they must be victims of racism....and in a warped sense they gain political or social power from this. It is a whole culture of victim hood....My advise is to stay clear of them..let them gain their power from someone else.

These people don't have anything else to do with their time but run around and call people names. If someone called them racist then they would get up and protest saying how "they" have been kept down sometimes black people can act a fool in more ways than one. There is no means to an end with the vicious circle of racism and I think that blacks have allot to do with the on-going cycle. I'm not saying that there aren't whites out here who keep up crap, but if someone doesn't snap the chain then it will just continue to keep turning.
Good question though and hopefully it will thought provoke

I had many problems in school with this same situation. It seems to me that they enjoy calling people racist or saying that white kids owe them something. I was told that I owed the black population something because my ancestors owned slaves. It's ludicrous! It's just like any other bully out there. They feel badly about themselves, therefore they take it out on others. Try and make others feel bad about themselves. If you do not believe you are racist then don't let them make you doubt yourself. Hold your head up and be strong...they can only do what you let them do. Act as if it doesn't bother you...simply tell them that you and your friends know that you aren't racist and what they think doesn't matter! Then laugh in their faces, like they do you!

Do you truly think the black people you know are your equals? Do you treat them the same way you treat everyone else and make no difference between color? Have you said or done something that they found offensive? If not, I wouldn't worry much. It may be that they are just stupid, but sometimes, white people don't think about what they say or do and hurt our feelings. Some people don't know how to express that hurt and lash out iin anger - thereby calling you racist. If your conscience is clear, don't let them get to you.

It is part of our popular culture to tolerate blacks and other minority groups bullying and insulting white people. If the white person retaliates, than they are a racist. White people are afraid to stand up and defend themselves because even other whites will rip them apart for being racist. If you are white you are supposed to pretend that there is no difference between people and you are supposed to tolerate jokes and taunting about your customs.
Racist is a word that is used to hold you back. Don't let it. Stop tolerating their abuse and bad behavior. Report them to your school authorities. If your school authorities don't help you, find white organizations on the Internet and tell them your story. Let them scare your school officials into responding. Force them to do what is right and refuse to be discriminated against. Do not tolerate.

Well, calling someone racist isn't racist if the person actually has displayed racist tendencies or made racist remarks. If they are calling you racist and then laughing, you're probably not racist. Actual racism rarely elicits laughter. They're just idiots.

They are just being morons, school is always like this till you leave for college. Then it gets better. If they didn't call you Racist, they would just come up with some other thing to call you. It happens to the best of us.

There are always going to be people around that think you're racist just b/c they think you looked at them the wrong way. Generally it's b/c they aren't fond of White people in general and they've been taught to think that all White people are evil and racist. it's best to just ignore them and move on with your life.

Its more than likely a game to them. Ever heard a black person say.. "its becasue im black aint it?" They are more or less trying to cover something up that hurt them with a racist joke. Pretend to ignore them and laugh to yourself "how ignorant".

Wow. This is absolutely severe. People simply presume that your profile image is meant to to appear very similar to you. I realize precisely the way you consider. My trouble is vice versa, I use white profile images in general however I'm honestly black. They're both utilizing realistic experience and don't seem to be because this choice or are randomly guessing.
