racism? blacks answer/whites read!?

Question

I would really like for the black people to answer this question. please tell some of the ways you have been shown racism from a white person for no reason. and then maybe the white people who are not racist can understand what we DO go through and why sometimes we are bitter.

CAN THE BLACK PEOPLE ANSWER PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'LL GET TO THE OTHERS LATER..

I AM TALKING ABOUT THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO BLACK PEOPLE,. LIKE MIS MANAGED DOWN THERE.

BY THE WAY I AM BLACK. SO I WALK IN MY OWN SHOES EVERYDAY AND I KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE. AND I HAVE DATED OUSTIDE OF MY RACE SO I HAVE GOTTEN COMMENTS AND DIRTY LOOKS. AND YES EVEN THE N WORD SAID TO ME.

Answer 1

I work for a phone company and because I was following my company's guidelines, which of course the customer didnt agree with, called me a little black ni**er. The first time that had happened and yes, I cried.

Answer 2

As a black person, I find just being judged negatively simply because I am black to be very annoying and tiring. So much of the time, I can tell by body language when an opinion of me is being formed. Some white people feel all or most black people are uneducated or undereducated. To add to that, as a black woman, I constantly have to fight the stereotype of "she probably has an attitude". Sometimes, after I speak and it's obvious I am very warm and articulate, some white people almost breathe a sigh of relief, to which I feel like saying, "...that's what you get for pre-judging...".

Because I am black, I feel many people come to a conclusion as to who I am, when they really don't have a clue. Subconsciously, I feel like I'm always having to fight through formed opinions, so that strangers I encounter can see the real me. I wish I could just be seen as a person first, not a race.

Still, I don't feel bitter. Misunderstood and stereotyped a good deal of the time, but not bitter.

Great question!

Answer 3

I work and go to college at a mostly White area and I hear a lot ignorant comments. Once I went to pay for my tuition and this cashier ask me before I even said anything if I needed to know where the financial aid office is. I was shocked but I think I handled it maturely. Other things like White guys always calling me a "pretty Black girl" which is so annoying and ignorant. But this doesn't mean that I believe all are racist but there are bad and good in every group.

Answer 4

Corey Nick is powerful. The race card being pulled for each little element that is going incorrect is what furthers the racism. i've got considered it in my opinion many circumstances and for no stable reason different than an basic, hassle-free mistake. Why won't manage to I tutor my satisfaction for being white? because of the fact black people will declare i'm a racist. i'm bored with feeling like black people can do notwithstanding they choose to "unify" and help their race on a similar time as white people could walk on eggshells. that's a double accepted. And if black people choose to unify on racial subject concerns in addition they could rally approximately their crimes against white people, which happen all of the time. no remember if somebody gets convicted or no longer would not do away with from the incontrovertible fact that a destructive crime has been committed. the place's Jackson and Sharpton crying for the white youngster in Kansas city who became into racially attacked with the aid of the black teenagers? Black persons are purely as racist and that i've got considered it sooooo many circumstances in my opinion, and that i'm sick of listening to "destructive me" from black people who fail to even renowned racism against whites exists and is purely as undesirable. i'm sick and uninterested in listening to approximately racism and the greater I pay attention approximately it, the greater ineffective my ears get to sympathizing or maybe worrying. ...and that's purely unhappy.

Answer 5

Being a mixed black woman, I get racism from both sides.
The darker blacks who think, act and want to be white, treat me like crud out of hatred and jealousy. The whites who think act and want to be black tell me that Im not black enough and get mad when I dont accept them calling me a ni**er. They feel that they must explain to me that they enjoy rap and whe I say I hate rap music, they look at me as if I'm an idiot.
The bleach blond, blue eyed, plain looking white girls treat me poorly and disrepect me because they want so much to look like me.( i've noticed how some blond white chicks, hate exotic looking women...)

being light skinned, some white people will try to walk all over me and be completely rude because they have this thought in their heads that light skinned black women are shy and ho'ish (thanks to the rappers for that stereotype)....

I could go on forever...

Answer 6

yes! My ex bf is white[he acted like he was "black"]. We were a couple for like a week or so, then those HATERS started to talk. One of them got the nerve to come up to my face and say these exact words "You don't want him, you just want your baby comin' out lookin' like a monkey." And her skinny, flat asss tempted me to bust her in her jaw. Though, I had spoken to Jesus end everything was alright. But we didn't break up because of the race issue, I just didn't feel much of a connection though.

LOVE UR QUESTION.

i would post maaaaaaaaannnnnnnny more incidents, but this "answer" will go on 4ever

Answer 7

I thought you said black people respond. anyway moving right along.Im a black woman and Ive experienced racism quite a bit.I remember being in a pagent when I was a teenager(I was the only black female in this pagent). one of the white females from the pagent was saying something about a get together and I was standing right their so I asked her when was it suppose to be since it was for everybody in the pagent, she had nerve to say well it is just for our school.A all white school.I found that racist because one of the females she was inviting who is also white was invited but she does not attend their little school.anyway another thing before the pagent was suppose to start one of the white female contestants mother asked me to take a picture with her daughter who is a nasty little mean thing(nasty disposition)she look at me with a nasty mean look as if I was trash.it was time to take the picture she stood by me and giving that little fake smile her mom went to take the picture but couldnt snap it because she used all the film up.Her daughter had nerve to clap her hands and say Yay!I just stared at her(I wanted to tell her off so bad but of course you cannot do that I would have been stooping to her little level and Im better then that.Now some of you white people that like to talk nasty about black people and say that we are racist need to know why some of us act the way that we do.Of course this is not to all of you but only the ones who like to talk but dont know nothing.when you assume you make yourself look like a fool.

Answer 8

As though individual jerks of any color do not show racism towards others.

The examples will mean nothing. I once asked about an African-American to another, and person B responded, "He's not black." I said,"Oh, what is he?" "He's light-skinned. That means he is a house n-----. We don't associate with house n-----."

My point is, "racism" or "colorism" is not at all unique among individual persons, and in any case it is wrong.

Answer 9

Well,the people my age are not really that racist,at least not like other generations.Other than the insults on here I have not been discriminated that much.Maybe one or twice.Its not just white people who are racist though.A good example is that that stupid Asian Pride guy.

Answer 10

I'm white, but actively against Racism. If you want a good example of what the whites are continually doing to blacks, just check out the media designed to appeal to them, the fact that billboards in ghettos advertize gambling rather than investments and the lackluster approach to political representation.
