You guys want to pretend that racsim doesn't exist? You're telling me that officer was perfectly justified in killing an unarmed teenage boy? What would you even know about racsim? You're as white as milk.
I am not saying that doesn't exist but I am saying that (no offense) black people use the race card whenever they can over the stupidest things, if the officer had been black you wouldn't be b/tchin about this... and just so you know your being towards white people... or do you not think that, that is a thing?:)
Reverse r a c i s m is a myth perpetuated by white ppl. I literally cannot be towards you. Prejudiced, maybe? Secondly- how would you know these things are stupid? Have you ever faced any discrimination because of your skin colour? You guys aren't even answering my questions, you're just saying "what if it was a white boy?" "what if the cop was black?". If the cop was black or the boy was white, the story would still be despicable. However, the fact is, cops are prejudiced against black people. Black ppl are shot for no reason a lot more than white ppl. Black ppl are annoyed about this. They are tired of living in perpetual fear of getting shot for holding toy guns or for jaywalking. Robbing a store is not something you shoot somebody for (even though he didn't, security camera footage along with eyewitness accounts confirm this). Micheal Brown was not attacking darren Wilson, He had his hands up and said "Don't shoot". Darren wilson is said to have kkk connections. Darren Wilson has rage issues. He said "it looked like a demon" when he described micheal brown, idk about you but, I think thats enough to say that it was murder, not self defence. Thirdly- Micheal Brown refused to join the football team in his highschool bc he didn't want to hurt anybody. Does that sound like someone who'd attack a cop?
and finally- what about Tamir rice? the twelve year old boy shot for holding a toy gun? Shot dead. For holding a toy gun.
I dunno I have never looked it up I don't really care, stuff happens welcome to the real world, whther or not you are black or white is gonna happen... if you would like I will look it up to see if they get away with it
there is such things as "reverse " lol your doing it right now duh. and yes ive dealt with people like you that think that no matter what us "white people are out to get you "black people" im not saying that this stuff should be happening
Firstly- I'm not black. I'm Indian.
Secondly- no, it doesn't exist and never will.
Thirdly- You're basically commenting and invalidating the tragedy of Micheal Brown's death bc u feel like I'm hurting white feelings.
His death was no more tragic then my friend last week who was shot and killed due to road rage, and you're not hurting whites feelings you are just being prejudice against white people and I am sorry I didn't know you were Indian but I was not really referring to you as black it was an example
Firstly- I'm sorry about your friend.
Secondly- I'm talking about how a cop shot and murdered a black, teenage unarmed boy, became a millionaire and hasn't served a minute of jail time.
I am saying that there are white people who are r a c i s t. I am saying the cop was one. How is this being prejudiced towards whites?
Thirdly- Did the person who shot your friend get arrested? I hope they did. (this isn't political, I'm actually concerned).
i agree with you about how there are white people who are and I also believe that there are black people who stereotype whites as all , yea the guy is in jail waiting for a trial right now... he admitted to being guilty but they haven't determined what they're gonna do with him yet
I'm really glad they arrested him. Imagine how Michael Brown's mother feels- a man shot her son six times even though he hasn't done anything wrong , became a millionaire and the case didn't even go to trial.
i can see your point id be upset also but I dunno I guess I just don't think like other people, it doesn't matter to me if a person is white or black there is only right or wrong lol
You're still saying "black or white" like no other races exist. Also, claiming to be colourblind is like the worst lie ever. Race is important. If ur white you need to be aware of how much privilege u have. idk about you but my race is a vital part of me, my culture makes me who I am. By saying it doesn't matter is like erasing a part of me.
yea well it doesn't matter to me that much, I may be more privileged in soceities eyes but for example I work on a farm with over 500 cows tthere are over 15 of us working there and 7 of them are Mexicans, I work side by side with them day in and day out, in many ways they know more than I and teach me but they also get more days off and free housing when I do not. I live in America there is no culture for me I don't really think about that stuff that much, other than family it isn't that important. I wasn't claiming to be colorblind
Here's the thing. You're white, you never "notice" your race because its never come up. Cases like this make you feel uncomfortable because you don't want to acknowledge that the system is biased towards whites. There's this thing we have in India, reservation on the basis of caste and gender, in schools, colleges, government offices etc. Its done because these sections of society have been trod on for centuries and each individual needs all the help they can get. Yet, you still have whiny upper-caste boys saying that its not fair that they have to work harder than the OBCs. They don't realise that OBCs need help until there is no caste based discrimination- ever- in cities and villages etc. I assume its the same thing in the USA.
With Trayvon, they wanted witnesses, with Micheal Brown they wanted video footage and even with Eric Garner, no arrests were made, in any of the cases. This is what ra ci sm looks like. The fact that you can sit there and not feel affected or scared about your family, is your privilege.
Yeah. She can't predict the future and she doesn't know FOR SURE if it would happen, she's just being subjective. I wont believe her till she shows me that would happen in a crystal ball.
You'll believe a crystal ball but not millions of people saying that this has been happening for ages and isn't going to stop until white ppl stop acting like PoC deserve to die.

I'm guessing that both of your white an have never been subjected to any form of .
Secondly, the US has always been , India's former president, Abdul Kalam was interrogated for hours just because he was muslim.
Sikhs have been assaulted, called names and even killed because they where turbans.
So, yeah, I'm just using the race card. Tamir rice, a TWELVE YEAR OLD BOY was shot in the head for holding A TOY GUN.
Yeah. She can't predict the future and she doesn't know FOR SURE if it would happen, she's just being subjective. I wont believe her till she shows me that would happen in a crystal ball.

It's not like the boy wasnt doing anythng. The cop legally had a reason to shoot him because the boy had tried to beat up the cop and the boy also robbed a store. So, the cop shot him for self defense, which is legal in that situation.
The boy did not try to beat up the cop. The boy did not rob the store. Even if he ran away, shoot him in the leg, why would you shoot him in the head? What about Tamir rice, the twelve year old? Do white people literally want to pretend that doesn't exist?
Not really, as white person, you never would've experienced discrimination on the basis of your race. You'll never experience the hate and discrimination PoC experience. Yeah, there are a lot of things I don't know about (trignometry for example) but, as a , brown girl, I've experienced enough prejudice to know when i see it.
exactly! there was always someone to talk to, to hate on the jockers and we werent jockers ourselves, where the recents page would refresh and new quotes would show up everytime... i miss it
ive been on here for 5 and half and i just stopped using it due to the lack of people on it now. its sad it used to be the first thing i checked every single day
