I didn't write this because I'm a racist. I didn't write this because I thinks whites are superior. I didn't write this because I'm against equality. I wrote this because I want equality in our world. But unfortunately there isn't. Equality is a lie.
NAMES ~~~
If they can call us white, why can't we call then black? Or maybe white and brown? Purple and blue? Whatever works. The point is they're both colors. Why is it that we can be called whites but calling them black is so offensive? This isn't equality.
Blackface ~~~
If blackface is racist, so is tanning. What if you WANT a darker skin tone? And yet clown makeup and mimes are okay.
Yes, but clown makeup and mimes are an art form
So was blackface in theater back when it was legal. If people can paint their faces white, people can paint their faces black. That's equality.
Bullying ~
When whites get bullied, it's simply bullying. Not a huge deal. But when blacks get bullied, it's racism. And oh it is so, so cruel and evil.
WHAT they are being bullied for isn't an issue. Any form of bullying is just bullying, no matter what they are being bullied for or what their race is. That's equality.
Well they can't change their skin color. Getting bullied because of your hair or clothes isn't a big deal because you can change those things, unlike their race.
You can't change your eye shape either. Jerks are just going to be jerks no matter what you look like. They're going to find a way to be mean, no matter what. It makes themselves feel bigger. It's just bullying.
Slavery ~~~
Get over it already! It happened like a million years ago! Blacks shouldn't be treated so special just because of our f---ed up ancestors. It was our stupid ancestors who enslaved blacks. Don't hold it against our generation! Blacks are now treated so special just because of how our idiotic ancestors acted. It's not our fault!
And there's not even slavery going on today! Ok I understand there are some forms of slavery going on still. But that isn't the entire white race's fault! Now THAT'S racism; blaming the entire white race for slavery, including the slavery that we had nothing to do with! This is NOT equality!
If you're going to reply, please don't just start childishly attacking. State your opinion based off of what I wrote, us proper grammar, and please make it actually make sense xD -
This might have bad grammar, and might not make sense.
I agree, especially with the slavery thing.
One thing I think is kinda funny though is that if a white person says the n word to a black person, everbody goes crazy, yet they say it to each other (blacks to blacks)! And I don't think I've heard of an insult to white people, not based on religion, and only on the color of skin, that really offends white people now a days. -
First point: This I actually agree with you on, kind of sort of. Black people are actually okay with being called black.
Second point: This is actually a REALLY big deal. Do a little reading on the history of Blackface in performance art and how it was used, because it is historically VERY racist.
Bullying: No, if a black person discriminates against a white person, it is still considered racism. If anything it is harder for blacks to "get away with" being racist. And bullying is bullying, whether it is racist, homophobic, sexist, religious, or you simply feel like making someone feel small so you can feel big.
Slavery: I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here. I agree somewhat, I don't want to be blamed for slavery, but that's more because none of my ancestors owned slaves than anything. Yeah, blacks have worn out the slavery bit, but they have a lot of other unaddressed grievances as far as how they are treated in this country. -
For once i agree with you. Calling some "black" or "white" in a non discriminative way isn't racist, its just how their skin looks
offensive? -
Thank you guys for not going crazy.
@tongue ---
Maybe I do need to read more on that. But even without the history of it, I still see it in a way that it is equal to clown makeup.
It just seems like blacks get more.....opportunities? One that banana bread pointed out is that in her state or something blacks get to go to college for free.
But what I don't understand is why all bullying can't just be bullying. No matter why they're bullying you for.
banana bread ---
Cracker is an offensive word for whites

Exactly. That would be equality if we were just blacks and whites, not all these thee names. And what about Indians? Why can't we call them that? Like, we can be called Americans so why can't they be Indians? -
@tongue --- I should've ended the paragraph toward you with "That would be equality" xD
these other names* -
Actually, slavery is totally wrong and America finally figured that out. All that other stuff is not blamed on the white people, everyone has bullied no matter what f---ing color of your skin is. The Blackface thing is bad, I know that for a fact. People who get tans or fake tans annoy the s--- out of me. You don't like your own natural skin color? Really people, get over it. Actually black people think it's fine when you call them black or African Americans. Just depending on the person.

What really annoys is when I'm describing someone and I say "black" and they think I'm being racist.

There's a difference between saying something to be offensive and saying something to describe. It depends how you use your words.
To avoid pissing tons of people off I tend to not describe or address people using colors. Except for this one girl I'm friends with, I call her white girl and she calls me Asian b----. It's mutual and we both understand it's not personal and or meant to actually be offensive. If you go up to some random person and call them white trash or something then it's different and they don't understand it's a joke. Which is why no matter what nationality you or anyone else is, you should try and be respectful until you reach a level where it doesn't matter. This also works with other offensive terms. If you call anyone a slut they'll probably be offended, but if you call your best friend a slut they'll just call you a hoe. It depends who you're talking to really. -
@anri --- exactly. Blackface and tans are the same.
Personally I think tanning is dumb because you are blessed with your natural skin tone.
