There hasn't been much racism around me and I really hate people who are racists. I remember a few years ago when I heard something about a classmate of me. He is black but got adopted by a white couple when he was a baby. One day he and his mother were somewhere, I don't know where, but there were other people too. His mother asked him to go and sit somewhere and she pointed to some black people with the intention to sit there. He said:'I'm not going to sit next to those blacks!' when I heard that I was like.... ..what?! It's a strange world.
There's only about three blacks in my grade. The rest are white and they're always talking about black people. The boys even make fun of this one black kid, who never even did anything to them. When they make fun of him, he doesn't stick up for himself. It kind of makes me feel sorry for him, but he's stupid for not defending himself. If I was him I would have been gotten the bullies in trouble. I go to a Catholic School, so this is not tolerated at all, the principal even said if any form of racism in committed he'll expell who ever did it. I guess the black boy just ignores what everyone says... it just makes me wonder what goes through his mind when they talk about him.
been white and born in South Africa during the time of apartheid(spelling), I was bought to think that all blacks cant be trusted , I remember when I was in grade 6 and all the schools became multi ratial, we had parents and teachers telling us crap like hide your lunch , or make sure you sit next to your white friend. but once the black kids started settling in we began to realize that there wasnt any difference between us, infact I met my best friend throught this as he was an African American, who moved back to South Africa cause apartheid was gone. However it really pisses me off now at work since im now living in London I have this coloured boss that tells me stuff like the blacks should get all there land back and the white ppl in Zimbabwe are getting what they deserve , and even though he is joking it really bugs me cause Its not like I was asked to be born white in South Africa. now I have many black and coloured friends than white (if not more) the only problem I still battle with is mixed couples , especually over here in England where you would see a white girl going out with a black guy. I know its normal over here and It just going to take time to get used to it.
There's an old KKK dude that lives on the corner of my friend's street. One night I was playing manhunt with my friends, and one of them, my friend Bianca, happens to be hispanic. I'm half black and half white, as some of you can probably tell from my picture. So the dude decided to say some racist comments to my friend and I. We had a fit laughing and busting on him. We hung around the corner the whole night just to get him pissed I've experienced alot of racism in my town, because i'm of a different race than almost everyone in my town, the majority of people are white. I've had this one kid tell me that i'm black therefore I don't deserve to live, this other guy that I used to like got all his friends to IM me with racist comments, calling me a dirty n*gger, a dirty islander, etc. Hell, some female dog in my school even decided to take my nickname and call me Fifi the black poodle. Then this other girl got mad at me, and used that idea by making a screenname out of it. Yeah, it's racism, but I deal with it. I don't like racists, and i'm currently in a club at school called STARS to spread awareness about it. Trying to get people to understand what racism is is half the battle.
Heh my story is kinda of different. I live in like almost 100 percent white area. Well first im half hawaiian so I got a natural tan, black hair, etc. I guess it doesn't to some people they'll call anything that is slightly dark a n**ger. ****ing Dumbasses. So ive been delt some racism nothing to tramatic. Its not a problem anymore because im bigger than most people in my class now which has helped. Anyways one day during some class there was a african-american visiting being my stupid self i said "Sup". Its just the stupid slang me and my friends use all the time i wasnt doing it to be a smartass. Anyways i got suspened and received restriction(cant doing anything thats not normal classes) for the rest of the year because they said that some kid heard me mumble something after sup and the visitor thought she head me say n*gger. DUMBASS GET A ****ING HEARING AID! HOW THE **** DID YOU GET N*GGER YOU PARINOID IDIOT.
I'm Asian (oriental), England's predominantly white but London is a very multicultural society so I haven't really experienced first hand racism. The only thing I remember was when I went shopping with my friend, who's a Bengali Muslim, and next to us I overheard these guys saying something like "bloody Arabs". The funny thing was my friend wasn't even Arab but I'm sure those guys couldn't tell the difference. So it wasn't anything serious but I was still pissed that people can be so casually racist.
Be an example, stand up for him so he has a reason to stand up for himself. [/b][/quote] yeah. but please dont do it in an agressive way. we dont want you getting in trouble with the f*ckers.
Though completely wrong, racism is unavoidable. As long as people are different, other people will want to make their "group" of people seem superior to others, at the same time making others seem inferior. If they'd stop trying to classify our species into groups, and just recognised us all as PEOPLE, we wouldn't have this problem. Human nature forbids it though, so the persecution and racism will continue.
i know what race i am........HUMAN! the human race is the only real divider and to anyone who thinks differntly i feel sorry for their ignorence to other people's feeling and thoughts
I'm Jewish too. One of my "friends" pointlessly has called me hitler and a nazi. I think I'm through with him though.
I have friends who are sort of racist. But not really. It's weird, really. They have these nicknames for black people. They call them Snickers. Ever since they started calling black people that, I get hungry whenever a black person is around me. But to be serious, I don't care either way. Words are words. And while words may be the one thing that could change a persons mind or help a person, at times it could be a useless tool. When it comes to racism, it's useless. So what if you get called "African American", "chink", "spic", or "cracker"? Is being called that going to change who you are? Is being called that going to give you money or take away money? Is being called that going to kill you? Nah. Those words are useless. Now for when racism evolves from words to violence. That's different. That's when something should be done. You can't let someone beat you up. Especially for a reason as stupid as what color you are. You gotta fight back racism when it's needed. When it's not needed, just go on with your life.
yeah. but please dont do it in an agressive way. we dont want you getting in trouble with the f*ckers. [/b][/quote] I would stick up for him, but I hardly know him, and plus then they'd just make fun of me! And he's the guy here, I'm just a girl, so I don't know... maybe one day he'll say something back to them instead of acting like a *ussy.

I'm not going to do anything. Plus I don't really care. I mean if he doesn't seem to care why should I? School sux anyway, I have enough crap to worry about (and that's not one of them). :argh:
Because when you stand by watching something harmful you're just as bad as the person thats doing that because you didn't try to stop it.
You know the thing I told you all about the kid who said Hitler should've killed all Jews, and esspecially me? Yeah, I said somthing bad back at him for it, of course, you know. Well instead of detention- I got suspended. Holy #### it's stupid! :argh:
