Racism is absolutely alive and kicking in the USA. I hate when white people come up to me and make anti-semitic remarks. Since when are all blacks supposed to hate all jews? I don't understand this at all. I always stop them and they look at me like I'm nuts. Their usual response is that I shouldn't care as I'm not one of them. WTF!?!
Whites will come up to me, seeing that I'm White, and say amazingly horrible, nasty, jackasinine things about Blacks. Am I in the "I hate Blacks" club because of my skin color? WTF??!
I may have posted this before, but I'll say it again. A Black professor from a neighboring university and I were talking in the sauna at the Y--we knew each other from my having worked at the neighboring university--and this White gay man about the same age as my professor friend is in there with us. When my friend left, this White guy says to me, "He's very well-spoken
for a Black man."
I said, "WHAT??"
He said, "Well, you know, they usually don't speak correct English."
I said, "He's a professor with a PhD in Psychology. He's the chair of the Faculty Senate at his institution. He's rather well respected. What is it that
you do?"
Naturally, this White guy had bad teeth, bad skin, piercings and tattoos all over, and just an overall image of having been fucked hard and put away wet. My Black professor friend was tall, muscular, distinguished (hair at the temples going gray), handsome, great teeth, intelligent, articulate, the whole deal. But because he was Black, this White guy thought he should be surprised at his ability to speak well.
The White guy had nothing to say after that. Fucking racist AND fucking coward.
NCbear (who's amazed at what some White people say to him about Blacks and other non-White groups, and who uses capital letters to describe ethnic groups when discussions like this are happening)
