How Racial Are You Or Your Parents? by menike(m): 5:35am On Feb 12, 2006 |
[b][/b][color=#770077][/color] 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) cuz my parents wud ask us not to snitch, hang with bad G's, talk or mess wit white folks cuz they're trouble etc . Examples : My GrandPa wud say "Never follow a white man to the woods if U are black cuz if he gets missin , U are doomed " So I wonder today, How racial are U or your parents ? |

Im not racial at all. I use to be discriminative of white people but now cuz i actually got to know some white people i really dont 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 |

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'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 dat 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). |

Edward Wil:Say WHAT? HAHA. Do you even know what racism is? How ignorant your post is. |
Re: How Racial Are You Or Your Parents? by mamaput(f): 10:38am On Mar 20, 2006 |
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 (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. |
Re: How Racial Are You Or Your Parents? by mamaput(f): 10:41am On Mar 20, 2006 |
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. |

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! If the shoe fits. . . . . . . |
