are you racist?

Sorry.
I meant if he is aware he should change.
Knowing our errors is a good thing.
We then can deal with them.
I need to know them.
Help.
I do need to know my own.
Then deal with them.
He knows his.
I don't know mine.
Help.
I am not suggesting he is a bad guy.
Sorry if it seems that way.

 

i have a story about a tiny little girl in a grocery store. just a toddler, really, and she sees her first black person. she says "daddy, she's dirty." now, is that racist? i mean, really? she's just a baby, judging by what she looks like when she's covered in dirt. it's innocent. i think. she's just not where there's a whole lotta black people.

no, it wasn't me.

 

i think he just assumes any white person who admits to some conditioning and problems is ignorant and content with it. he hears nothing else, thus far.

 

You should not have to think these thing over,
That is what IMO has to change.

I know.

 

my last post was angry, i was frustrated. yes, you seem to have some sincere problems. EVERYONE does. letting people be, when they're not vicious pricks, seems to be the best course of action. it's hard enough to do what you have to do to be a good person, but being attacked for not doing what someone else considers enough just makes a person throw their hands up in the air and say "why do i try if no one else is trying? why am i honest when i only get beat up for it?"

 

dude, perfect world comments don't really figure into imperfect upbringing. you're gonna have to accept it.

 

Or the black toddler who see’s her first white person and says “well there goes the neighborhood”

What do you mean think them over? Seriously, I'm not stupid but I fail to understand what you are getting at.

 

HAHAHAHA. next thing you know, no one dances or can play ball and the barbeques have tofu roasting on them.

 

No.
I appreciate anybody of any ethnic origin can have racist prejudice,
I just can't understand why.
I can't (but am willing to try) understand people that know this resides in them but lets it continue,
Even if this is an on subconcious level.

 

Unconscious means exactly that unconscious.

Your conscious logic decision making mind cannot control it.

 

You are (even quietly) thinking of people by their race it seems.
Sometimes.
Don't think about people that way.
Ever.
Don't think these things over.
Does that make sense?

 

you have to WORK ON the subconscious level. things bubble up that you never expected. ragging on a perfectly kind person who has something like that slap them in the face (which they have to deal with) is distinctly uncool, especially when they've confessed to trying to be a good person.

 

I meant subconcious, sorry.

 

no.. definitely not. look at my family. we're all shades of brown.

 

geez...

it's always easier pointing out someone elses faults than it is to look at their own...

meh, i'm sure the people who need to read up on it will ignore it anyway... unfortunately the booze has impaired my abilitly to not speak out against hateful ignorance... eh, i hope to not return to this thread again, like i already tried once...

 

I don't wish to attack anybody.
Nobody has to listen to me.
This woulld be not new

 

Since you won't return to this thread again, now is the best time to profess my love to you...

I wished you lived in my bum, so I could carry you around always...

 

how many siblings do you have?
