I've often admired Eminem's way of making good with da hood. He was really up against some huge racial odds, there. :P
That's it, what kind of scientist listens to Eminem and Rage Against the Machine?Quote:

Anyway, I'm obviously offended by this thread because I am black. Other than that, it pisses me off when people make such ignorant remarks speaking as an outsider(another race). Even here in St Thomas there'sracism against blacks and majority of the population is black. Go into a jewelry store JUST to look around and they follow you around with their eyes and you get so uncomfortable that you end up just leaving. Being constantly looked down upon makes it even harder. Dont even let me get on getting jobs.
Now I know there are some black people who use slavery days and all that bullshit as an excuse, but not all. So grouping all black people as failures because of making excuses was really shitty on your part.
Anyway, as for racism, it will never be over. There will still be tons of stereotypes, racial remarks, and prejudice people. Matter of fact it just may get worse. One slip up from Obama and I wont hear the end of "Well what do you expect from a nigger" comments.

You know, this struck me as an example of people just trying to FIND racism.
Why not just be happy for what Obama has accomplished. I think it's great he's been elected, and I hope he will become a role model for EVERY person from every race.
I've been prejudiced against for being caucasian countless times. Yeah, that's right.....for being CAUCASIAN. I don't look for it though, and I don't let it get to me. More people need to adopt this attitude.
I've been called a honkey a few times in my day, too. The funny thing is that I am not a honkey. My blood isn't just European.
I've been refused service in a couple of asian restaurants (we have a very high asian population where I live). I was told they didn't serve MY KIND. Nice. I just laughed at their ignorance. It's funny because I think asians are great. Too bad they don't feel the same. C'est la vie.
I would have made a squinty Asian face at them and said in a mimicking voice "Me rove you rrong time. No my kind?"
I didn't feel like getting gangland-style executed in the parking lot.
Which is also pretty common here.
Just tell them you know kung fu, make a cool pose, and run away.
Wow, I practically live in asian restaurants when I go out with friends and I've never seen THAT before. And this was in Vancouver?Quote:

How does that compute into your definition of racism?
I am not even going to argue because those statistics are too ****ing ambiguous.
