Any other white people sick of this whole Racism thing?

Question

Slavery happened 200 years ago. Move on. The jews were executed in the 1940's and they dont say anything about it. I'm just so sick of white people being accused as racist, and everything we do is racist.

Enjoy the welfare minorities! Thats hard-working white peoples' money!

Answer 1

You are correct Greg. Minority and race-baiting liberal groups (NAACP, LULAC, etc) use racism to keep themselves in power and to keep their constituency ignorant. It is striking that when people finally get assimilated into the welfare lines, they are the loudest to proclaim that welfare is their right, and anyone who wants to cut welfare is immediately a racist.

Answer 2

Slavery happened 200 years ago but last time I checked the civil rights movement happened about 40 some odd years ago, and racism is still alive and well, as your last sentance so eloquently proves. Also, "the jews" are still a bit sore over the extermination of their people, this is coming from someone who is a "jew" and has relatives that are holocaust survivors...


Here's a thought-I have never in my life been accused of being a racist. Because I'm not one and I don't spew out ignorant garbage. That might have something to do with it...

Answer 3

Yes I am very sick of black people being prejudice of something that happened so long ago that we didn't even do or they didn't even go through. How can they feel so much hatred over something that they didn't even feel. In this time we are all the same. We can get the same job (if we qualify for it), we can live in the same place (if we can afford it), and so fourth. I am not prejudice at all. I get along with all races but I am so sick of getting emails from some of my black girlfriends saying "Happy black sista's day"...yeah let white people send emails to other white people saying "Happy white sister's day". I even tell my friends that I don't want to hear the B.S. and they don't get mad they just say alright. So anyways...let's all stick together as a community cuz when the lights go out and we shut our mouths we're all the same.

Answer 4

Frankly I think a lot of people choose not to admit that racism goes both ways, black and white. Yes some whites are racist, but so are some blacks, asians, native americans, etc. There's good and bad everywhere. And welfare comes from harworking people of ALL races. Don't complain about racism with MORE racism. That solves nothing.

Answer 5

If you are tired of being accused of racism stop portraying the racist attitude. The truth of the matter is everyone is biased and prefers specific things over others, there is no denying that. But there is no excuse for being hateful.

P.S. Single mothers are more likely to live in poverty than any other group...

Answer 6

The fact that you slam the minorities in your last line only adds fuel to the fire. Instead of having an honest debate, you just came out and tipped your hand. Should all the accusations of racism stop??? Well, as long as people use double speak, as you did, there will be no resolution.

Oh, I'm a Republican.

Answer 7

I concur...There is a problem with it...Deifintions: You see people that are saying that just because of X that the other people are racist. See the definitions below...Unless you can put them into this definition then it is NOT racisim...I also think that what you said it stereotypical and is also showing that I think it wold be hard for anyone to have an intelligent conversation with you on the subject.

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Answer 8

Outside of the arguments (which were meant to incense), I agree that I am sick of being constantly told I am at fault for the choices people make in their own lives because I have less melanin in my skin.

First of all, people leave bad neighborhoods and go on to do great things; it's motivation, not race. Take a look at all of the middle class adults who've moved in with their parents because it's easier than becoming independent -- many of whom are white.

Second of all, I grew up with Martin Luther King, Jr.'s message that all people should be treated with respect. When a person comes up to me and verbally assaults me for something I did not personally do to them, I become fearful of that person. When more than one person of a socioeconomic background does the same, I become fearful of that mentality. I am not a racist; I am a classist. I find these days I relate to Asians more than Caucasians because Asian people fill many of the jobs at the socioeconomic niche I am comfortable with. Again, it's not about "race".

Third, perpetuation of this argument is getting old. It is not reverse-racism if a person who has more melanin than I do considers me inferior (or thinks that I think I'm superior because I have less melanin). It is RACISM. You who look at my skin color and think I am bad because I am A COLOR are a racist.

Reverse racism is working toward harmony with all people. Reverse racism is not looking at a man or a woman and labeling them a color which they are not (my skin is pink, therefore I am also a person of color: pink). Reverse racism is taking the message Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. into one's heart and living with the notion that skin pigment is not the measure of a person but the quality of the human being within.

I wish people had listened when he was trying to change the world; he was right.

Answer 9

YES !!!! it just happened to a friend of mine this satuday,, he was working and the radio was playing and it was rap ,, and he changed the station to the football game, and this brother went up to him that works with him and said what you racist ??? and he said no,, I just realized that game was on and wanted to listen to the game,,,, and right away that guy had to play the race card,,, but it had nothing to do with that. Get over it,,, this problem will never go away if everyone keeps playing that card. I know its only been 60 or so yrs since the slaves were set free but they will never heal if they dont try to forget it and move on.

Answer 10

There is very little overt racism anymore (except for your comment), but institutional racism serves the function of keeping minorities in their subordinate status. I am, however, sick of people like Al Sharpton and the NAACP getting involved in every situation that involves a minority and screamin racism. This is one of the factors that perpetuates the perception of victimization on part of blacks. If they continue to insert race into every event, they'll never feel empowered to overcome the disadvantages that affect them.

Answer 11

You had my ear and my sympathy until your last line. "Hard-working white peoples money."

I assume you are talking about tax money, which does not belong to "hard working white people" as you stated. It belongs to our government to build roads and schools and hospitals. It belongs to society so that society can function smoothly. And a society that continuously oppresses one group (actually in our case several groups of people) cannot function smoothly when one (or more) groups are relegated to low paying dead end jobs that perpetuate poverty and a dependence upon governmental programs.

Further more, EVERYONE pays taxes but the poor and middle class pay much higher per capita taxes than people who are paid above average salaries.

While you are blaming other races, who work just as hard as you, the rich have their hands in both pockets, but you are to busy fighting the wrong "man" to see the trick. Turn around and look!!


Peace.
