Getting tired of being white (7/11 trip report)

[John Ho]

Well put.

Call 100 black women "sister" and see the reactions you get.

Dude, you don't get it. It's not about whether you're being racist, it's about not offending the person. If you're white, calling a random black person 'brother' can obviously be offensive to some black people, and I can see why. Therefore it's stupid to do it.

Nobody cares if you live in you're own ideological world where you can say whatever you want to whoever you want regaurdless of race (as it really should be), because that's just not how it really works, face it.

now read the other posts and you'll see from a certain point of view, they might be racist but from many other POVs they are not.

What the [censored] do you mean by this? Spell it out. No jibber-jabber. I'm a little slow.

what i am saying is that my other posts argue that you should speak to all strangers, black people included in a respect manner (address with sir, mister).

some of the ways i worded the posts may appear racist to some people, but all they are doing is recognizing that there do exist difference between different races and cultures.

one of my biggest arguements was about somebody saying that he used to hang out with mostly black poeple and call them all 'brotha', ad from his experiences felt it was acceptable to address in public all other black people that way. I simply wanted him to understand
1) the difference between how you act with friends VS strangers, and
2) all people are different and that just because his friends might be cool with ANYTHING, doesnt mean everybody else will be

So if you called every male "big guy" and every girl "gorgeous" would it surprise you that an obviously fat guy and obviously ugly girl might take offense at your statement if they were complete strangers?

lighten up nancy. I dont see the point of all this bullshit, i call people brother all the time, white black asian whatever, and no one has ever said anything. anyone who thinks they can pin me as a racist because i use the word brother is wound up too tight, and deserves the ulcer they probably have.

obviously this black guy was out of line. they tend to be feel inferior, as an inferior race, and need to play these "race cards" to feel signifigant in society.

Were you trying to start a fight? Bro or man will work better here.

I hate white people.

So, basically, you're saying you're a racist.

"You know, there are differences between races and cultures. Some of them happen to be drugged-out, ganged-up hoodlums, one and all, that are a disgrace to God-fearing American society, what with their 'do rags and their godawful slurring speech patterns. That's all I'm saying. Now, that might sound racist to YOU..."
