How Racial Are You Or Your Parents?
« on: February 12, 2006, 05:35 AM »

[b][/b]  

Growing up in the States and understanding the customary racial discrimination among Whites and Blacks , I must say I was thought to fear myself (Blacks) because my parents would ask us not to snitch, hang with bad G's, talk or mess wit white folks because they're trouble  etc .

Examples : My GrandPa would say  "Never follow a white man to the woods if You are black because if he gets missin , You are doomed "

So I wonder today, How racial are You or your parents ?

I'm not racial at all.  I use to be discriminative of white people but now because i actually got to know some white people i really don't care about the skin color.  But I know my parents (like most nigerians) are almost racist without even knowing it.

Am not racial in any way at all, i like all people, no matter where u come from. But am a little skeptical of older white people. Say from probably 50-above, because in their day racism was very prone, and there is a strong possibility that two out of every five u meet is still racist, and their young ones must have been brain washed to Hate too Undecided

My father was an extreme racist. Being raised in the southern US, it's something that I have tried to live with all these years. I guess the breaking point was when I was in school I had one of my black friends come to the house to help study for a test. My father refused to let him in the house. Then he proceeded with an hour lecture on the evils of "black people". I left home when I was 17 and haven't looked back. I have my own home now and any of my friends are welcome regardless of what "color" they are.

@vichel
Don't worry, I don't trust the older white people as well, and I'm white and 45! But I think that your numbers are off. Here in the south it's more like 4 out of 5 that are still a racist!

I gat into problems wit the Cops through a Caucasian (My best pal) - Y'all I was just tryin' to help the Dude move to his new Crib n' that was sometime in 2001 . As we got to his crib , Damn "Bang " I hit somshit , It was a Fence (To pull the long curtain down) . The Cops showed up nd began them stupid question like  " Mister were You drunk ?"  I replied  Nah . He called my White friend and asked him if He knew me , I swear that PUNKASS "WHITE TRASH" told the Cop he had never seen me , that he met me along the road and asked me to help him  . Y'all kno what comes after , Shit it was HELL

I'm not racial 2 anyone. But when they start wit me its on b cause i don't take shit. Especially those old white folks that b at the store,every time i try 2 help them out when something drops out of there hand or something they always have an attitude or even say somethin bad 2 me and that pisses me off but when i remember that there old i say sir/mam u did'nt have 2 talk 2 me like that b cause i did'nt deserve that insult and if they say something back i walk off. And i'm sayin this because i live in Atlanta and there's lots of people down here who have racism issues. That we have 2 go through everyday. But except that i'm still kool wit everybody.

I am not a member of a race. If you are a member of a race you are a "racist". There is no purpose for being a member of a race except to practice "race-ism" and racism is white supremacy. Now what does that tell you? I am a non-white person. A non-white person can't practice racism (white supremacy).

I must confess that i am.
But more a domestic racist.
I always tell my kids not to marry a man from country were they will not be able to trace their kids if the man kidnaps them.
They should not go with a boyfriend that has a different culture from them.#
But kids don't listen.
When my daughter told me her boyfriend was from Lips sealed(so as not to offend anyone) i just taught ho my god they beat their wives and lock them up in the village. The go stabbing people.
Well i was open enough to meet him . I like him and they are together for over a year.
But i notice that he is also traditional in his own way. I have made it clear to my daughter and she knows because she gets a taste of it once in a while,
he is not aggressive or anything like that but his family is watching her.

Funny think happened once in the Bus .
One of his uncles was checking for tickets when he got to me , he told me he was the uncle to my daughters B. friend and did not check my ticket.

AM at a stage were i just what her to know what she is in for if she marries him.
then they are more like Arabs.

I forgot they have even taken her to their place (Village).
But they are all keeping an eye on her what she dose and were she goes.
But apart from that i don't care who is how or what is what.

~Never had any talks w/ my parents/heard them voice out any racial opinions but i suppose given my Mum Was The product of An Interracial Marriage{grandad was Irish}there was never that stereotype/discrimination growing up!!

~As an Adult however am all too aware that not everyone is Tolerant~Its a shame this disease can't be Eradicated Cry

~I C Nuffin Special about One Race Over The Other At All ~

~It will be so cool if there was Racial Hamony in the World~ Free Of All Forms Of Discrimination~ Wut R The Chances Of That Happening when even in the Prisons{America's Hardest Prison,on Nat. Geo} its a rule to Live By staying w/ your own kind Undecided A man cud get shanked for peeing in the Wrong Race Cubicle~using the wrong shower/sink!!~ sad that!!

Parents: Tribalists yes, racist no!

They have dealt with more tribes in Nigeria than other races of the world. 

Although ma dad constantly referred to the "black skin being cursed" when I was younger.  I have come to understand what he meant by that statement.


Me: Depending on the prevailin' circumstances, I have ma "legitimate racial and tribal prejudices"!  We all do!
