As an african american what's the worst name besides ni**** that you've been called?

Question

I'm doing research for a book I'm writing and I could really use some help. Any horror stories about being treated badly because of race would help as well. Thanks!!

Answer 1

Lawn jockey

Answer 2

i'm african american and any Black individual who says they don't look are hence denying the position their ancestors got here from and what they have been by potential of. you're african american if you're decendedent from african slaves. some Blacks ought to pick to assert they don't look because whites do not call themselves 'ecu human beings'. you do not ought to slot in with them or slot in with what the definition of u.s. is. let them deny their lifestyle, you do not ought to. to assert you're not from now on african american, is to disclaim your historic previous. Being american is going deeper than what they allow you to understand. you do not should be like whites and under no circumstances be called what you're...

Answer 3

I am not an African-American but I have been recently mixed up into a huge fight involving some. To tell you ( and everyone else) the truth most African-American people don't get called names that much anymore except for by people who grew up with parents/grandparents who grew up predujuice(sp) The Truth is that most African-American or Black people call Hispanic or White people more names than the other way around.

In the fight I spoke of earlier one of my friends brother called an African-American a 'Wigger, a white Ni****' under his breath after the african-american in question stole his cd-player (and we have proof of this) well the african-american got all of his friends and jumped My brothers friend. Luckily My friends and I ran after them to stop it. The white boy did get hurt but what happend next proves my point to my long story. The African-Americas were pulling off their shirts call us names such as 'White-a**es, crackers, casper' and many more while we were just telling them to leave before we got mad.

My friends and I are what most people call Goth/Punk/and emo. So when I stood up to the African-American boy whole stole the cd-player and who got all these people and told him to...well I didn't say and inapropriate names towards him but I did cuss alot, he called me a 'freaky skeleton girl' I don't mind getting into fights especially with guys, but by then the fight had stopped becuase a mother had gotten out of her car and stopped it. (Many other stuff had happend before this involving a school-bus)

But anyway, My point is this research paper should also include that most white people have stopped calling balck people raciest(sp) names and that most black people are raciest(sp) againts us and that most black people are now using the 'Your just like this becuase I'm Black' to get their way.

Once again sorry for not really answering a question with my long-pointless answer. I really need to stop doing this huh?

p.s spellling checking stopped working for me so sorry if I have misspelled somewhere

Answer 4

I had a disgruntled customer once tell me I looked like a monkey. I told him he must have been high or couldn't see straight because first off I don't have a flat nose, I am so fair ,dark-skinned black men tell me I'm not "black enough", And my lips are hardly that of a typical black person. No offense anyone, but I know the type of look bigotted individuals call a monkey. I guess he was one of those to whom "all blacks looked alike". His perspective, we are all monkeys.

Answer 5

When I was a teenager I babysat for 2 little aa boys. They were 4 and 6. They lived next door to us and I sat for them during the summer. One day we were on the playground and I was pushing the baby in a swing. The older boy was with other little boys his age. He ran to me crying his heart out and threw his arms around my neck. Turns out the little white boys had called him a chocolate drop. I told him he was as sweet as one and he was my little chocolate drop. He smiled at me and kissed me. That was 35 years ago. I think of those 2 everynow and then and hope that their experience with me made a difference in their hearts. It did mine. Make sure there are things like this in your book. It's not all bad. m

Answer 6

I heard of light skinned african americans refusing to let their children date darker skinned african americans. Before this, I always thought that racism was from one race to another but it seems that it is very strong within one's own race.

Answer 7

I'm half black. Don't know if you're looking for comments from multiracial people, but I've been called halfbreed, mutt, and oreo among other things. The worst of those was halfbreed. I'm not a dog.

Answer 8

Its being called a Jiggaboo. That sounds funny, but it is the only one that comes close to the N word. They use to say jiggaboos belong in the zoo.

Answer 9

Some guys with darker skin have called me a yellow --you know what. If you are in the middle, you can get it from both sides. I just tell them Jesus loves them and move on.

Answer 10

Write the book, but keep it objective and historical. Our kids need to be aware of what rascism did and does, but they need to transcend it, so make the book in the past tense, and be detached.
