Are you serious? Who the hell actually says **** like that?
:yes: Apparently not a lot of people where you guys live. I hear this almost every day. Then again, it might also have to do with age.
You should probably confront them about that. What self respecting person would say **** like that about their own race? Next time they say something like that, just say "damn strait". Those two-faced hypocrites would cry a river if they heard someone say "you're so black" to someone who used a double negative.
I'm 21 so a lot of my friends are still 18, 19, 20...some of my co-workers are 17. So I hear it from them. I think they think it's not cool to be white or something stupid like that.
One day I had the radio on and was listening to rock music instead of the usually played R&B variety. A young lady I worked with walked in and asked "who turned on this white boy music?" I was taken aback. (I am really only 1/2 white, I am 1/2 Native American but I am not very dark). I thought the statement was kind of rude, but I just laughed it off. Sometimes I wonder if I should have said something (the young lady was white who said it).
THAT makes me angry. When I lived in Colorado, I got teased for listening to "white" music. Which I didn't mind at all because I have awesome taste in music. THEIR music, whatever it was, sounded all the same.....song after song..***** this, ****** that, slap a ho, money, money, money...
That's one of things what ****** me off about our culture - the hypocrisy and double standards. For example, if someone says something like "honky" or "cracker", no one bats an eye, but if someone says something like "******" or "jigaboo" then it's a riot inducing outrage.
Yup, I know. It's ridiculous.
If I have to be honest....?
..Get over it! :slap:
Question. If this were a thread made by a black, asian, middle eastern or hispanic person complaining about hearing excessive derogatory terms about THEIR race, would you tell them to get over it? I am NOT personally responsible for this "white power" most of you seem to be using as an excuse for making the use of derogatory terms toward white people ok. It's not ok. :no: You're drawing a line here, making racism towards white people ok and racism toward any other group NOT ok...because of what? Some elitism that most individual white people don't even feel that they have? I certainly don't feel that way. Like Hannah said, either all racism needs to be allowed or none of it.
So, that's cool. I'll get over it. But if I need to get over it, so do those coloreds, jungle bunnies, chinks, japs, kikes and spics.
Flip it around. If I felt someone said I was "so white" in a derogatory manner, then I would respond with something like: "What, you mean educated and employed?", or "What, you mean because I pay my bills?".
If you're willing to dish it out, then you've got to be willing to take it as well. And, just maybe, someone will get the point. At the very least, I get to be a sarcastic *******.
Hahaha.
One of my former co-workers always got a lot of comments about "acting white" or "talking white." Some people were actually offended by her way of talking, as if she had renounced being black. Most were just confused.
A client would come into the shop, and my co-worker would say, "Oh, yes, I spoke to you on the phone," and the client would shake her head.
"Oh, that wasn't me. I spoke to a white girl."
"Did she talk like me?"
"Um .... "
I really don't like it when black people are persecuted by their own race for speaking well, dressing well, etc. Like you said, like she had "renounced being black."
