UGH! I'M SICK OF IT!
I hate racism. It's one of the most unfair, unjust things in this world! I hate when people judge my race as a whole. People really should consider looking at each individual person and judging their actions, not an entire race of people. I am a black, 20 something year old female who recently graduated from college, 2 degrees and ** Laude (that is honors for those who do not know) all in 4 years! The blatant racism and stereotypes I encounter on a daily basis is disgusting. People assume that I either have a slew of children, not intelligent or that I am promiscuous. They assume because I am a minority that I have somehow gotten a free ride to college. They assume that I am lazy just because I am on food stamps at the moment. Well, the truth is I am on stamps so that I can feed myself for the moment. I hate food stamps! I am a only child with NO CHILDREN and if not for these stamps I would not eat. As soon as I find work I will make sure I never have to be on them again. I don't want a hand out. I was not fortunate enough to land a job right out of college. I worked my whole college career and with the help of scholarships (that had nothing to do with me being black, but instead had to do with my honor GPA), loans, and hard work I made it. NO ONE HANDED ME ANYTHING. So, for the racist people out there saying that black people are lazy, if you are reading this remember this post and kindly go jump off a bridge! Most Black People DO work hard, it's just the disgusting prejudices that still exist plague us no matter what we do. No, I am not blaming it on "the man", I am simply stating facts. There IS such a thing as systematic racism and it's infuriating that anyone thinks otherwise. It's emotionally daunting to walk into a room (or in my case go into an interview) and be judged not because of your character or skills, but because of your skin color and perceived notions of ignorance, Yes, there are some bad people in all races, but all of us should not be judged because of that.
The surprise for many is just how NOT racist this Nation really is. We elected a black POTUS, impossible in a 50% white nation if very many are racist. The less than 1% of people that are, and it could be everything from Blacks to Hispanics, Jews, Indians, there will always be that small percentage. We constantly hear of the cases, but when we realize that in way over 300 MILLION of us, there are of course a few and those get publicized. The USA is NOT, and has not been a racist Nation for a very long time.
Im not racist i go to black whores
I am sorry this happening but it is just a minority of ignorant people
Racism goes both ways don't just assume that someone is going to be racist to you just because they are a certain Colour
True :) Have you experienced any form of prejudice,yourself?
Everyone has by someone
I agree :) But there are various degrees/forms, of prejudice.
Have you prejudiced or/and stereotyped against, because of your race/ethnicity?
Some people may state, that prejudice is prejudice.But there are, different kinds.
And with different forms, the severity of each form varies, aswell as the repercussions and effects of them. Within my opinion, racial prejudice, is one of the worst forms of prejudice. To be discriminated and stereotyped against, because of the colour of a person's skin, it's heartbreaking. And to add insult, being stereotyped against, because some people have associated specific negative mannerisms, behaviour, lifestyles and so forth,with specific racial groups, that some people assume the worst of those racial groups.It's sad really :(
But yes,you're accurate.I suppose, everyone has been prejudiced against, by someone.
When was the last time, you was prejudiced against and what form of prejudice, was it?
There are many forms of prejudice, and the fact that you are so lasered in on skin color proves that you are more racist than anything. People are discriminated against for many physical or other factors, which affects their lives in many ways. But only skin color really counts.
And if it's a black person saying so, they WILL have more war stories (many of which might be exaggerated or made up) than you. It's exactly like being tired, but the "busy mommy" sitting next to you will argue with you for HOURS about how you couldn't possibly be anywhere near as tired as she is, even if she's got an army of family members helping her out and you've just come out of your most recent round of chemo.
The constant-victim variety of black people, entitled mommies, and Good News Christians who consider the phrase "No thanks" as a personal attack... their constant whining and refusal to listen to others is not acceptable, and you will find greater and greater resistance as you compulsively play the "you could never know my struggle" card. Other people are having just as rough a life as you. Get over yourselves or you will BE gotten over.
