Questions of a Biracial Girl

The difference between a racist and someone who is blindly ignorant

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:31:00 +0000

Sometimes someone can say something that comes off as racist...usually its when that person conforms to some stereotype.

But that doesn't necessarily make them racist, so to speak. There is a famous video on youtube where this guy (I think he may be black or biracial, i dunno) talks about how to tell someone what they did was racist.

As he said, there is a difference between telling someone they are racist and telling someone what they said or did was racist. Now naturally, the racist will deny it at all costs, will get defensive either way, and ultimately call you the racist for pointing out their racism.

But what makes the racist different from someone who is blindly ignorant?

Well the blindly ignorant are so cultured in their white privilege that sometimes they don't realize how patronizing they can be to minorities and how conforming they actually are to stereotypes. Yet when you tell them what they are saying or doing is wrong or how it will be percieved and they listen and try not to do that again...that is what makes them different from the racist.

A racist will keep defending their actions without listening to your rationale. An ignorant person is more apt to listening to what you have to say. They may not understand why its wrong and may not care deep down that its wrong and may even think in their own mind that you are making an issue out of nothing...but if they at least stop what they are saying or doing, you have made it one step further than you ever would have with a racist.

What it basically comes down to is respect. You address the blindly ignorant, they are more likely to respect your wishes to stop what they are saying or doing. Only the racist would continue on, showing not only their racism, but their penchant for being disrespectful.

I remember on an episode of ER, Ross was assuming this black man was a cocaine druggie and wouldn't let him have his daughter. Conni (the black nurse) had to set the record straight. She told him she didn't see Ross as a racist, but what he was doing was. So Ross made things right, and turned out the dad wasn't a druggie but the daughter was...and as it turned out, what that family was dealing with was the same kind of things any ordinary family would be dealing with that would result in a rebellious teen doing drugs. Of course there have been other episodes with issues of race popping up where a white person jumped to conclusions only to be proven wrong (Green and Archie Morris, and this is not including all the episodes of racist cops harassing the black doctors).

In the end, the blindly ignorant still have a little bit of a chance of being educated...but the less we educate the more likely the will learn to become a racist.

White conservatives still defend Andrew Breitbart

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:53:00 +0000

Andrew Breitbart posted an edited video of a black woman by the name of Shirley Sherrod. His intent was to make her look like a racist. In the end, he made himself look like a racist fool when it was revealed that the video he posted of her was edited.

Now not surprisingly the conservatives are backing this guy. Go to websites like HotAir, Politico, FreeRepublic, and so on and you will see a major flow of conservatives supporting this guy.

But sadly this incident shows you that whites regardless of political beliefs are likely to betray you if you are black.

Democrats were asking for he resignition and news sites and everyone even blacks (Obama and the NAACP) were condemning her without fact checking the whole incident.

This incident shows you how pathetic newsing has become. Anyone with shit for brains expects this kind of crap from Fox News, but other news sources are much more legit than them and even they fell victim to this. Heck even the NAACP fell victim and they had the whole video on hand (it was one of their events she was speaking at that Breitbart edited).

But, Breitbart should take a considerable amount of blame for his lying and defamation of Sherrod. But the Administration and all news sources that aired Breitbart's version of the video should all hold some blame too. For it was their shoddy fact checking that led to the lie only being spread further.

But I find it sad that the only person that seemed to immediately come to Sherrod's defense was the very white farmer everyone was saying she was being racist to. The white farmer that had to come out and actually say that what Breitbart had posted was a lie.

From what I know, she has been offered a job back at USDA...but she isn't sure if she wants it.

I honestly don't blame her for not taking the job back if she didn't...who wants to work for people who would sell you up the creek without actually getting their facts straight?

If this were a white person we all know USDA would be defending them, as would the whole country. Yet sadly, no one is supporting Sherrod even after the revelation that she was a victim of a racist conservative.

I hope Sherrod sues Breitbart and Fox News and the rest of the news networks. She has a case...I mean, I just read how two white fire fighters won a lawsuit when they felt their character was defamed after they played a cruel joke on a black firefighter. If idiots like those two can win a lawsuit over their own stupid actions, then I would hope someone could win a lawsuit over something that is an actual case such as Sherrod's.

All I know is that when the conservatives don't denounce their wrongdoings...it just further proves how insane these people are.

Let this be a lesson to people about jumping to conclusions.

Bill Cosby does have a point...

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:04:00 +0000

A couple of years ago Bill Cosby came under fire in the black community for a speech he gave criticizing the current state of "black culture", specifically the youth and their gangsta image.

Some people criticized what Cosby said saying that he wasn't figuring in the social aspects and that he was speaking from the point of view of an elitist.

I have to say that both sides are right.

I am strongly against the gangsta culture. I hate rap, I hate the dress styles, and I despise ebonics.

I also don't like the gangsta view of education either.

Black peoples insistence on not trying to be like white people is exactly what makes white people hate us even more...our race is giving them more ammo to make excuses to justify their racism.

But I do agree that you can't completely ignore social aspects. I mean black people can be the exact mirror image of white people and still suffer racism from businesses and cops and etc.

Yet, at the same time, we don't need to be encouraging the gangsta lifestyle any more than we have been.

I mean the way things have been have obviously done nothing for us.

I guess the thing is is that black culture seemed to be more honest and better during the 1950s...which is sad to say considering the time period.

Do I still care about my biracial identity??

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:04:00 +0000

At this point...I truly don't.

Yes I am biracial. And I will correct someone when need be...but, I just don't care as much.

I noticed I turned this blog more into my advocacy for blacks and less about being biracial.

I guess its because on one level there just isn't much to put about being biracial and truth be told....it really isn't a big deal.

I realized its not my identity. Its part of who I am but its just not something that makes me different.

In the end, to society I will be black. So why bother parading around some stupid identity that honestly means nothing to anyone....not even to the person vocalizing it?

There is no united front about the issue and I certainly don't care about it. I can tell a person I only half black but at the end of the day I am 100% black to them and every stereotype they have for a black person is labelled on me.

So yeah, forget biracial identity. I don't care anymore.

Hilmer von Campe

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 03:05:00 +0000

Hilmer von Campe was a Hitler Youth. He wrote a book basically calling Obama the next hitler. It is obvious he hasn't learn from his hitler days since he supports the Republican Party which is the closest thing to Hitler, right down to the racism.

Guys like him are nutso. Why American allowed any Nazi Germany Germans into America is beyond me.

Hitler supporters, such as himself, should be banned from America.

Not much else to say about the racist extremist creepo.

To all whites, blacks look the same

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:02:00 +0000

When police officers arrest a black person for some crime committed, the police officer almost never makes sure they are arresting the right person. As far as they are concerned, the suspect is black, and the man in their custody is black and to them that is a job well done.

We know and they know that the courts will view it the exact same way. Its not a matter of making sure you are getting the actual criminal, its a matter of putting blacks in jail.

To a white person, every single black looks alike. We have no varying hair colors. No varying eye colors. Yet oddly enough, white people could still confuse a light skinned black person and a dark skinned black person.

I find it ironic that whites are so busy just wanting to get any black person behind bars that they are not doing anyone any favors by putting the wrong black perosn behind bars. I mean, if the criminal is still loose, then that means more crimes to be committed are still ahead. Yet white people don't care. They just don't care.

When you are black, you are not allowed to have any individuality. White people would be all in a tiff if you were to treat them all the same way because of the actions of one white. Yet white people see no wrong in treating all black people as if we are all the same way.

I hate white people. I don't want to date them nor befriend them.

Obama's presidency = a new kind of racism

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 07:07:00 +0000

We have basically gone back into Jim Crow racism. Whites do not flinch at the idea of blacks suffering from their racism. Whites defend racism every chance they get. But what makes this racism different than Jim Crow is the fact that whites make themselves out to be victims while also being the perp.

Obama's presidency did bring out the racism in many. White supremacists had predicted it years before. They wanted a black man to win the presidency because they knew white people would start behaving like they did during Jim Crow. And they were right. They were absolutely correct.

I truly do believe we black people will suffer the same fate as the Jews did only worse.

White people are evil. They live for these kinds of things. They are predisposed to destruction and murder. Just look at history and all the horrible and terrible things white people have done.

A race war is going to happen...its just a question of when. I don't trust white people one bit.

Black people need to wake up and see the truth. White people are dangerous and cannot be trusted. They are Satan's people and do Satan's bidding.

What is more disturbing than a racist incident?

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 07:00:00 +0000

What can be more disturbing than a racist incident? How about a public reaction supporting said racist incident.

A month or so ago, a racist Harvard Law student by the name of Stephanie Grace sent an email out to her friends saying that black people were dumb. When I saw a picture of what the racist looked like...she looked like a dumb blonde.

Its scary that this girl will become a lawyer. Innocent people will be going to jail because of her.

But what she said wasn't nearly as disturbing as the many students that seemed to back her racist ideology.

One would think college students were educated...but these people prove that Redneck racism knows no socio-economic level, education, or age.

I remember when a racist incident happened at a college in my state...more students rallied around in support of the white racists and acting as if white people were the victim when it was white people committing the racist act.

Its more disturbing to see public support for a racist person and a racist act than the act itself because it just shows you how many racists there really are.

No black person in their right mind would trust a white person. I certainly don't.

The most awesome race related scene in the tv show ER

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:44:00 +0000

I was watching a season 7 episode online of ER where Benton is forced into running the ER because Romano wants to be an ass, Weaver is on her off day, and Greene is busy with a patient in an emergency helicopter.

Chaos ensues and eventually he calls in Weaver because things get out of control. Towards the end of the episode he goes into a black lady's room where she has been waiting for 3 hours. She seems like a kind old lady. She asks him if he is an intern and he replies that he is a physician. She replies with "your mother must be proud". As he is about to start asking her exactly what is wrong, she interrupts and in that old sweet lady voice she says she prefers a white doctor. Claiming she trusts them more cause she always had them.

Benton you can tell is very shocked, with him being a black man and this woman being black herself.

But his reply is the most awesomest and cool collected response I have ever seen on ER when pertaining to race issues.

His reply is "Sure, you can have a white doctor....you will just have to wait another 3 hours".

Her face was surprised by that and I couldn't help but laugh and say "take that bitch!"

I hate it when old people use that "kind voice" to be manipulative, hateful, mean, condenscending and other wrongful behaviors.

But I like how instead of telling her that she is either going to have to put up with him or leave, he just calmly responds and gets his revenge by simply saying she will have to wait 3 more hours.

Of course this moment is short lived as when he leaves for his shift is over and meets up with Cleo, she gives him a hard time over the fact that he is using her as a sympathetic voice over the whole Romano problem that he has been having the last year or so. She stands up and leaves him angry that he never tries to be a sympathetic ear and voice for her problems.

On another note and completely off topic comment, I was kinda angry how Carter got blamed by a girl for telling her she was HIV postive. You see, the story goes like this: grandma comes in with her grandson. He doesn't know he is HIV positive, and grannie doesn't know he has been sexually active. She had been keeping the grandson's HIV positive status a secret from him. When Carter tells him the truth, he brings in his girlfriend, who turns out to be HIV positive as a result of their having sex. The two fight and leave. Later she is back because he got hit by a car while they were fighting. The girlfriend blames Carter for telling her she was HIV positive. But if its anyone's fault its the grandma for never telling the boy in the first place. Had he known, he never would have had sex with his girlfriend.

Sometimes you forget...

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:31:00 +0000

I remember watching some episodes of Season 15 of ER online and seeing that they replaced a black guy (Mekhi Pfifer) with a black woman (Angela Bassett). The show almost always seemed to replace a departing black person with another. When Benton left, Pratt came along (in the same season). In fact season 8 and 9 were peculiar in that 2 young black men were introduced (it seems like as every older character departed they almost were always replaced by younger characters). And then both those young black men (Pratt and Gallant) left, at different seasons. Pratt leaving in the first episode of the last season and being replaced by a black woman.

When I discovered they finally put a black woman as a doctor on the show, I thought to myself...FINALLY! But then I was like "why did they have to wait til the last season to do that?"

And then I decided to watch an earlier episode from the better years having not watched ER in over a year or two since I hadn't had the time. It was then I realized just how much I had totally forgot about two actresses: Gloria Reuben, who played Jeanie Boulet and Michael Michele (I am never going to be able to get past her name without flinching) who played Cleo Finch.

At different times during the first 8 seasons these two woman were the resident black female doctors and both were at different times in love with Peter Benton. Of course Michael Michele's character ends up marrying Benton.

Both Gloria and Michael Michele are biracial in real life. Which actually gives me a bigger connection to them than Bassett.

But I still see them as black too (while also being biracial). But its interesting how quickly you forget. I can't remember if Cleo ever had any daunting story lines like Jeanie and Cate Banfield (Bassett) did.

The Difference between Wiggers and whites born into gangsta/ghetto culture

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 05:16:00 +0000

Ghetto/Gangsta culture is not the black culture itself. It is a distinctive subculture of poor blacks. It is not a good culture and often tends to over shadow the real culture of black people (which is the polar opposite of the gangsta culture). Often, good black people who are anything but gangsta or ghetto (you can live in the ghettoes and not be ghetto just so you know) are dehumanized and stripped of their individuality. How many times have we all dealt with the racist white person that assumes we must be ghetto or gangsta for no other reason than stereotypes?

Anyways, I remember back in middle school when these white kids called this white boy a "Wigger". The teacher was like "what is that?" The kids said "a white kid that thinks he is black". It was insulting to black people by saying all blacks act a certain way that the gangsta subculture is the actual culture of black people. But at the same time, it was also a way to highlight the fact that no self respecting white or black person would be friends with a wigger.

A wigger is someone who is usually middle class and is surrounded by whites. He is either fascinated by rebelliousness or fascinated by what he thinks is a culture of an entirely different race. He basically stereotypes the black race as being ghetto and gangsta and behaves as such as he wants to be like them. As a result, whites think he is a loser and is annoying, and blacks don't like him because of his blantantly racist stereotypical attitude.

But are all white people like that, wiggers? Actually no. How can you tell if a white person is brought up in that subculture or is just a wannabe? It all hinges on friends and associations.

A white person brought up in that type of subculture usually has black friends and a tight in with them. He is usually given the "pass" on many things. The wigger on the other hand is a friend to no one and is just a walking talking offense that people wish would shut up and disappear.

Do black men want black women to be single???

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Fri, 21 May 2010 09:00:00 +0000

Most black women who date interracially probably already know of this hypocrisy. You know, where black men moan and groan about black women dating white men while he himself is in it with a white chick.

I noticed there are 2 main types of black men who usually get their undies in a bunch over black women in love with non-black men.

1. type one is what I mentioned above. The hypocrite.

2. type two is the gangsta aka the black equivalent to a redneck.

In my opinion, I am all for interracial relationships but only if they are grounded in reality. I get sickened when I hear the white girl or white guy proclaim the line (or damn near similar to it) "our love is all that matters" and I can't help but shake my head when I hear it from a black perosn who should know better.

Being in love isn't the problem. Love isn't strong enough to deal with all the problems you will encounter. Lines like "why is this crap happening in 2010" is not going to change the fact that racists still exist and still cause problems.

There is a reason many interracial relationships fail. Its because neither person really looked at everything realistically and thus were no prepared for the racism. Such as when the black person would need to vent about the racism they deal with. Or when the child is teased. Or when both sides grumble about being race traitors and what not.

But back to the title of the post. Statisically, black women are less likely to get married these days. Mostly its because black women do not want to settle for gangstas, and white men rarely date black women. And black men, those worthy enough often date white women.

So in the very rare chance a black woman find a guy, who just so happens to be non-black, why the fuss black men? You don't own her. You haven't been there helping her. Whenever people talk about police brutality, all of you fail to mention all the black women beaten or killed at the hands of the gestapo.

All you black men do is just insult black women and stereotype them.

If you aren't going to have class, then don't complain when she passes you over.

Racism is white peoples' identity

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 13:10:00 +0000

Lets face it, whites want to keep racism alive not just because they benefit from it financially but because its their identity.

These people consider it racist to have be considered equal to everyone.

They consider it racist to teach about other races' history and contributions.

White people don't know how to not be racist. Its their identity.

If you look at comments pertaining to race, it is very clear a good majority still haven't gotten out of Jim Crow and still support racism. They will do anything possible to excuse and justify their racism. They will do anything possible to tell a black person what they aren't dealing with is racism.

God forbid they would have to change for the better by getting rid of their racism.

White people can't be helped....there is no hope for them.

Ew Eddie, why???

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 10:45:00 +0000

Out of what feels like pure torture, my mom made me watch The Young and the Restless a few days ago...and I saw the dude from Family Matters on there.

I mean, I don't care for Family Matters, and I don't care for the character Eddie (I don't remember the actor's name) but I can't believe he went from sitcom to a lame ass soap.

Whats worse is that he apparently replaced this really hot dude who now has a role on Criminal Minds.

What I find funny is that it was like a Vivien Banks color reversal. In the case of The Young and the Restless, it went from a light skinned character to a dark skinned. Same character though.

I imagine it was because there were too many light skinned blacks on the show probably...cause the scene I saw him in had this other dude and this young dude both light skinned...

But why any self-respecting person would want to be on a soap opera is beyond me. Hopefully within 5 years soaps will be history.

Jodie Landon...I know all too well.

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 07:05:00 +0000

I love the show Daria. It just came out on DVD a little over a week ago. I finally own the show (they don't air it on tv at all).

I can relate to Daria in the sense that I am misanthropic, cynical, and have low expectations for just about everyone. I am also realistic just like Daria.

But there is another character I strongly relate to...Jodie Landon.

She is one of the few black students at the school. One thing I like about her is that she isn't the stereotype. Her black boyfriend is like the only smart guy on the football team and like the rationality to the irrationality that is dumb jock Kevin.

Jodie is smart, an over achiever, and a go-getter. She is also a people pleaser. In one episode I just watched called "Gifted" she and Daria talk about their "process". Jodie explains that at home she is just Jodie but because of the lack of diversity in Lawndale she feels she has been burdened with the responsibility of being the representative for black people.

This is basically the explanation as to why she is a perfectionist. She wants people to have a positive image of blacks. We all know how doing the slightest wrong thing can make a white person see all black people in a bad light. I have been the representative at times too and its stressful.

Jodie's character also highlights the annoyance of being a token and how it is racist itself. She and Mack are always chosen as homecoming king and queen. They know its because the town wants to "pride" itself on diversity even though it sorely lacks diversity.

That scene also takes note in how Jodie (and Mack) also do what many of us blacks do sometimes...and that is shirk the principles for the gains. In that case, it would look good on their college applications.

There is another example of this in Partner Complaints where a racist banker refuses to Jodie a loan or to even have her dad cosign but will let Daria. But when he finds out who Jodie's dad is, he starts kissing up. So on principle she leaves. But at the next banker she immediately name drops. This angers Daria, a strong principles person.

It was understandable as to why Jodie name dropped with the second banker. She didn't want to reward the first one, and at the same time, the race fight gets tiresome. She wanted to prevent the possibility of a repeat from happening.

Also, her method ensured they got their assignment done, which was to secure a loan.

Basically, Jodie is about dropping her principles for the greater good of winning or succeeding. I can relate to that myself. You got people like Daria who prefer the right thing over smart thing and people like Jodie who prefer the smart thing over the right thing but who hopes there is a case where they are both.

There was another episode, Mall of the Millenium, where she criticized the executives for using her and the other students as "research" and when the executives decided to give everyone a $20 coupon to be quiet, she shirked away her principles, in fact everyone but Daria did.

Speaking of the "No Snitchin" campaign...

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:54:00 +0000

So knowing my views on the police...why am I against the "No Snitchin" campaign you ask?

I probably did a post on this already but never hurts to repeat one's self.

I am against it because its very premise is to basically refrain from giving valuable information on the baddies so they can be arrested.

As racist and corruptive as the police are, at the same time I don't want criminals on the loose because of some point that obviously isn't getting across.

No snitchin is only hurting us more. I mean lets face it, the police don't care about us. They just care only when whites become the victim.

But whats sad is when people do tell the police and the police ignore it, such cases like Anthony Sowell.

Those kind of incidents only cause more people to support the "no snitchin" campaign...their rationale being: why should we tell you considering when we do you don't listen anyways!

I undestand and support the message blacks have to say about blacks and the system(police, courts)...but I don't support the methods about trying to get the message across. They aren't getting the message and our own people are suffering from "no snitchin".

The Gestapo strike again!

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:44:00 +0000

RIP Aiyana Jones.

As usual white people are hailing the murderous cop as a hero for once again killing an innocent black.

So what was this little girl's crime? She was living in an apartment where the real culprit lived just above.

Because the police decided not to get their information together and actually think their strategy through, an innocent child was murdered by the police.

Its as if criminals aren't the only people we have to worry about being on the loose killing innocent people...it seems the police are doing a good job of that themselves.

But the public want to blame it on the family and have been justifying her death, excusing the murderous cops and basically toss this girl's life into the trashcan as if it meant nothing.

I hate how the police have a license to kill whomever they want whenever they want. They don't have to ask questions, they don't have to have all their facts together. You don't even have to be a threat...as long as you are black, you are allowed to be killed for just being black.

One idiot who called the police "heroes" said that its the family's fault for not knowing their neighbors. Need I remind people of Dymond Millburn? The little girl who was beaten by police, and it turned out the police (who were dressed undercover) had the wrong address. Not to mention their suspects were white....how does on mix up the colors white and black?

In the end, for blacks it doesn't matter where you live...it doesn't matter the color or age or gender of the suspects...just being black is "suspicion" enough for them to arrest you, beat you, or worse, murder you.

The police department where I live is currently in hot water for murdering a white guy...the fact that they rough-handled a white guy makes you wonder what they would do to a black person.

Its become tradition among blacks to tell of stories of dealing with racist cops. I remember when I had to deal with an officer once and as I left, he decided to say "you can always come to us if you need it" I rolled my eyes, gave a snort and turned away only for him to decide to talk down to me for it. Even then at 16 I knew one couldn't trust the police. I figured out even though I was raised in a white family.

I mean, I am against the "no snitchn" campaign and all and do believe one should go to the police if something happened to you mostly for legalistic reasons even though there does seem to be a consensus among many that the police never seem to show up until after the crime has been committed.

I know some want to argue that there are "good cops". My question is why don't they ever take a stand and condemn the bad cops rather than excuse them or justify their actions? In fact, the ones that do that hardly seem like good cops.

Arizona's law: The start of the Holocaust???

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 02:03:00 +0000

Its hard to decide on that one honestly. I have always said America is a candidate for being the next location for the holocaust. Americans hate its' minority population with a fiery passion.

On one hand, one side can argue that ID carrying to prove citizenship is similar to what the Jews had to go through.

But on another hand, one can argue, if they don't start working on the immigration problem and find a realistic and viable solution now, then it really will become a Holocaust because when Americans start really suffering from the lack of immigration enforcement, they will be beyond tired of hearing political speeches about reform and may actually take action themselves or cause some kind of action that would be worse than what Arizona passed.

So its a tricky question. All I know is that if you are going to criticize this solution made by the retard republicans of Arizona, then you at least need to find a solution that is better to offer the table. Cause doing something is better than nothing...most of the time.

I mean I am anti-Arizona...not because of the immigration laws but because of their racism towards history classes.

The news media hurts us minorities more sometimes...

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 01:56:00 +0000

Whenever the media reports on minorities and the racism they are dealing with, they sensationalize it so much and leave out facts and are so desparate to get white readers that they make the victim (the minority) look like the perp.

If they aren't busy creating stereotypes about blacks, then they are usually trying to win whites over by making whites look like victims by making the real victim which is a minority look like they somehow did wrong.

The media is not helping out blacks at all. They are throwing us under to help white people feel superior...big suprise.

A minority in Europe=not safe. Why I don't like Europe.

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Thu, 20 May 2010 01:54:00 +0000

I have no interest in ever going to Europe, for starters, I don't want to be on a plane for that long and secondly, it is a dangerous place for minorities.

UK has a vendetta against Indians, Africans, and Asians kinda in the same way America is having problems with the Hispanic population...only worse.

BNP has some considerable power there.

Even the more liberal newsite in the UK, The Guardian, is racist. Its not nearly has hateful and cruel as sites such as The Telegraph, Daily Mail, and much more, but its up there. Its like USA Today and The New York Times...claims to be "liberal" but is racist and caters to the racists.

In France, they just banned the burqa and niqab. In countries like Spain, Italy, and France, there have been several race issues going on with whites attacking minorities. I guess they are following Russia's lead.

Also, its not safe being an American in Europe on top of that. Of course, I am sure people would assume I am African (although I am not as dark as them so who knows what they would actually think), but if they heard me talk, they'd figure out I am American. At that point its going to go one of 2 ways: they are going to suck up for the "tourist money" or they are going to slap me with American stereotypes of being "boorish, uneducated, etc" (which I would imagine is a white thing more than it is a black thing).

So I have the danger of being Black and American in a country that despises both greatly.

That is why you wouldn't catch me going there unless I had no other choice.

Also from what I have heard racism there is slightly different than here...its crueler and more deceptive and in your face.

That is a reason on its own for not going to Europe. At least I know America's racism. As dangerous as it is to me, I know very little about the racism of Europe which just increases the dangers there as a minority.

Europe was the site of Jews being slaughtered....and those Jews were white!! Just think of the cruel inhumanity they would do to those of color over there...I'll give you a hint, it would be something straight out of Russia.

America and Europe are dangerous places for minorities....but one will always be more dangerous based on where you live. To a minority in Britain they may see America as dangerous...and they're right. It is a dangerous place. So is all of Europe.

I hate white people

I hate them. I don't want them as friends and you would never catch me dating them. I will never trust a white person for as long as I have to live.

The return of Jim Crow and the impending race war

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 11 May 2010 01:48:00 +0000

I truly do believe we are returning to Jim Crow, maybe in a more covert way but I do believe we are returning. Remember there was a brief period after the end of slavery and before Jim Crow began were there was some progression for blacks. Before the South got its power back.

I would never ever put it past white people to return to something like Jim Crow. I mean there was a facebook group about the Arizona immigration bill that claimed they were not a racist group but they were. It was all about the "poor white person". Now Arizona plans to ban ethnic studies to further encourage discrimination.

I would never put it past whites. That is why I fear Republicans getting power. They are the party for white supremacy they support racism against blacks they want to destroy us in every way possible.

I truly do believe a race war will happen. If terrorists want to bomb America and all then fine, just fucking leave us black people out of it. Your problem is with white people. They are the ones that fucked you guys. We are just victims of white people ourselves.

I already know America is going to fall...probably as a result of the race war that is going to happen. But blacks remember...do not underestimate whites. If they are capable of passing an immigration bill directed at hispanics, just think of all the plethora of things they can pass that will hurt us black people.

The supreme court is not on our side. There isn't a black person on there (thomas is not black he is just another white wannabe). 5 conservatives who support racism against blacks. They don't care about the law or constitution one bit.

America was built on racism and will die because of racism. And it is all white peoples fault.

Jim Crow forgotten

Often whites can only seem to remember that slavery happened. They just love to use excuses like "slavery ended 150 years ago" or "I never owned slaves". But what about Jim Crow? That lasted for nearly 100 years and was just as bad if not worse in some ways than slavery.

And many people from that era are still alive. Would you actually tell a woman who is in her 80s or 90s to get over something that more than likely had a major impact on her life?

Would you tell someone such as Ruby Bridges who integrated an elementary school to get over what she went though since times are apparently different (which really isn't true)? What about Minnijean Brown of The Little Rock Nine?

What about family members of MLK?

Racism is still alive. One of the worst things to come out of the Civil rights movement is that its harder to spot the racists since a good majority of them have went under ground and are not loudly vocal like they used to be.

I get sick of seeing whites use the "slavery is over" argument. It holds no water considering its not slavery anyone is talking about!!!

Racism can be largely defeated....

White people don't want it to be defeated. Since they dismiss racism directed at blacks all the time and condone it too, it just shows how much they support racism.

White people love to pretend that racism happens to themselves, but none of us care because not a single one of you has yet to combat racism against us minorities. We are powerless. We have reason to be upset.

White people are not the type to work hard for what they need. I mean they have never really had to. They had blacks and chinese build the railroads. They had blacks do all the manuel labor for free for hundreds of years and so on. Whites rarely ever work hard and the few that do, were usually not American born. White Americans are just very pathetic.

They could easily destroy racism just by refusing to condone it and excuse it and justify it but that is too much work for them. They consider it racist whenever a black person can compete with them on the same level. So they see no advantage in destroying racism.

They are nothing without their white privilege. Absolutely nothing.

What is the follow up?

noreply@blogger.com (myperspective08) — Tue, 11 May 2010 01:33:00 +0000

Have you ever noticed that every single person that has ever claimed they are not racist has 9 out of 10 times followed up that statement with something that is racist? Dismissing racism against blacks is a form of racism in itself.

For starters, when you have to say you are not racist, you already have me thinking you are racist. I mean someone who truly thinks they are not racist wouldn't even say they aren't racist. Saying it is to try to confirm it to yourself to make you feel better about the upcoming racist statement you are about to make.

When a white person says the word "race card" that alone makes you a racist cause once again you are dismissing racism to make yourself feel better about being a racist.

So if you don't want me to think you are racist do the following:

1. Stop saying you are not racist
2. Stop going into stereotypes
3. Stop dismissing racism
4. Stop condoning racism.

Naturally white people are incapable of doing that. Godforbid they actually have to do something for once in their worthless lives.
