CAMEROONPRIDE: u probably dnt even know the definition of racism or how racism looks like..but you know what i won't blame you i even understand you: YOU ARE WHITE Nah, of course I dont. Cause white people NEVER get any racism, right? Mhm. Go outside your house and talk to some white folks. When people call me a damn whitey, mongrel, donkey, redneck, potato etc..that is racism. When people say "Bleep white people, I hate them all", that is racism. ( And yes, it IS. If I twisted it, and said all the bad words to a black dude people would call me a racist in 10sec. ) 2 Likes |

Well I don't know if to call it racism or just down right cruelty. It happened in my Junior year of college, and my white professor called me and told me that I will never pass her class. I thought she was joking at first, then she told me that no foreign student (Africans) as ever passed her class before, After she said that I knew I had my work cut out for me. That semester I studied harder than i have ever had in my life, I made sure that i didn't give her any excuse to fail me. I kept all my work and test papers. When it was time to check grades, she gave me a C and i went back to her to ask why, she said I didn't do some work. The next day I came back with a folder filled with all my work and test papers from the day i stepped into that class, I told her that if she doesn't change my grade I would go to the office of student affairs and make a complaint about her. When she saw the look on my face, she knew she wasn't dealing with a softy. When i went online to check my grades again that night, she had changed it to an "A" . That was the first time i had experienced something i could call racism and it definitely wasn't the last. 8 Likes |

There is NO logic in it. There is NO excuse in it. To fight back at the people who have DONE something to you? Go right ahead. To fight back at people who LOOK like someone who did something to you? Bad. You dont see that??

As you know, I'm Uruguay (South America). I was in Europe (Alicante, Spain), waiting for a bus along with two African women dressed in their beautiful costumes. They probably went to a party. When we ascended (I let them ascend before), I heard a lot of laughter from the passengers. As I sat down (against African women), I understood that a Spanish was humiliating the women, ridiculing their dress and their origin ... Although I was accompanied by a couple of friends, I was running to the offender's place ... screaming, I asked him if he could not remember when the Spanish traveled to South America to escape hunger? Fleeing war ... full of lice ... I reminded him that my small country gave them food, medicine, work ... a home to live in peace ... There was a stir in the bus ... my friends reminded me that I was a foreigner, and you could have problems .... But all were silent bus passengers. Nobody was offended by what I said ... offender and the clown looked down and stopped talking nonsense ... When I returned to my place, both women smiled at me ... until today, I do not know if they could speak Spanish, if they understood exactly what happened ... But I'm sure they knew that what happened was related to them ... Brothers ... we should not be passive with racists ... Lower our eyes to a racist act is complicity!

Know? In my country, it is an offense to call someone "black" is not considered derogatory (except when used with other grievances). I think it goes without saying "white" or "black" to judge a person. Someone is an idiot for their attitudes, not their color. Regarding PAGAN ... he is someone I appreciate that. How not to understand his feelings towards whites? I do not support, but I understand it. There were whites who ultimately destroyed tens of thousands of lives, culture, traditions? There were whites who enslaved Africa and was sentenced to hundreds of years of slavery? Perhaps the mistake is to generalize, to say that all white or all black people are bad ... (or good) But also understand that there is resentment ... We are all brothers, we are all equal ... No one is above anyone ...

There will NEVER be peace if people to learn to forgive history. Not to accept it, not to forget it, but you can NOT blame new-borns for what others have done. On topic: I was standing in the area in the capital in Norway where there as most immigrants, called Grønland. There are about 45% immigrants, rest is norwegians, and the place is filled with immigrant-shops. I was living there for some years. This day I was waiting the bus, and there was some somali-celebration going on in a mosque nearby, so there was many kids, men and women dressed up, happy and smiling, etc. This drunken fool was standing at the bus-stop with me, and MUCH people around. I would dsay maybe four-five white people and about 20 africans. He started saying "Bleep these black people, coming to take over our country. Damn monkeys. Fucking ugly nig`s, blablabla. Im gonna find a big knife and chop somebody head". Nobody said anything. I jumped in and told him "keep your mouth closed, there are a bunch of kids here, take your hate somewhere else." "gad damn nig`r lover, shut your ugly mouth, you and your ugly half-breed kid ( sounded like pagan here, right? ) can go to helle, you look like a damn horse". I was just happy he started talking to me instead of the kids. I told him I would call the police on him, and that he should get the hell out of the town if he had problem with immigrants. I have seen things like tht on buses too, ut its always a drunken/junkie who starts badmouthing. Trash-people. 1 Like |

JallowBah: The African chicks that have called you a White ho doesn't hate you because you are White....they called you a White ho that have taken their men because if your White skin was the only reason then they wouldn't have called other non-White women hoes either. White women aren't the only group of women that are dating and married to African men. You have other Africans, Asian, Hispanic, Black Americans, Arab, and Native American women that are dating and marrying Africans and they too have been called hoes taking their men. Just because someone called you a white hoe doesn't mean they are racist....You are white and to them you are a ho. Not saying you are one per se....to clarify if someone doesn't serve you in a cafe, perform hate crime on you because of your skin color, and discriminated against you because of your skin color then they are too can be racist, bigot, prejudice, and hater. The fact that those same African girls called other non-White women hoes taking their men doesn't sound racist to me. Hell...they even call other African women hoes taking their men. 1 Like |

Sorry to say but there will never be total peace as long as this world lives....only the holy spirit can change such hearts and no amount of education will decrease racism or hate. Hate is the spirit of demons and from what I can see demons aren't leaving any time soon. So the only thing that can change people is the holy spirit. I know some people aren't spiritual but that's unfortunate. People will still have their opinions about skin colors and so forth. But each person should start with self..it is less stressful. 1 Like |
