Narcissism and Racism on G@G

[SpiderManFan2002]

So recently on G@G, I have seen so many posts regarding race. Some are just genuine questions which I wouldn't mind answering, others just come across as arrogant and with slight malicious intent.

Many times on this website I have seen the phrase "white women are the best" or something along those lines. That is incorrect. Because nobody should be defined as "the best" by race. Not a single race. Because two women of different races could have the same qualities and the only thing which differs them would be race. Would one be better than the other because she's of a different race? I don't think so.

I've seen a question on here asking why white women are the supposed standard of beauty, well that made me the question, "what is the standard of beauty?" The truth is, you can't define it. Maybe for your personal preferences sure, but there is no such thing as a supposed standard of beauty because there is no one standard of beauty. People of all races can have beauty. One person's beautiful may be another person's ugly.

I saw another question on here stating "You do not thank the lord, you thank the whites!" Now whether you believe in the lord or not, we all know what people believe the lord to be. The most powerful, the tracscendant, the most just, and so on. The lord is believed to have more power than humans, power beyond our imagination. Now to say similar to"Oh no don't bother thanking the lord thank the whites instead!" That suggests, that because of race, somebody is putting white people up above someone who is believed to be as powerful as that, when in reality, they eat, sleep, breathe, respire, excreet waste, wee, burp, fart, just like any other person.

With any human, if you cut them they'll bleed, if they fall too hard they'll break a bone, if they eat something bad they'll get sick. So tell me how can you compare white people to lord when the lord when we humans cannot even comprehend the powerfulness of the lord? You can't and if you try to put any race next to or above the lord whether you believe in him or not, it's just obnoxious.

I'm a brown British Pakistani girl. I am proud of my heritage and where I am from, but I know there the difference between narcassim and being proud of who I am. Being proud of who I am is telling people about my heritage, correcting misconceptions about my culture and religion, embracing both sides of my culture. Being narracisistic about who I am is claiming that my race is the supposed standard of beauty, telling people to thank my race over the lord, just banging on and on about how my race is so great and simuntaneously implying that others are below it for some reason.

No race is the best.

No race is even the supposed, standard of beauty.

You should thank no race over the Lord.

No matter what our skin colour is we're all human. We all need water and food to survive, we can all be intelligent or stupid, we can do anything that humans can do regardless of the colour of our skin.

Thank you for reading :)

All Races Are Beautiful :)

All Races Unite!

We're Better Together!

[Stingray444]

Exactly, We can't help how we are made. We can help who we are. "Racism" shouldn't even exist, even the term, because not only it's immoral to be, it doesn't make any since cuz people judge people just on their looks, and that's not right. People who are racist prolly had a bad experience with the specific race, or were brought up by parents or people who are racist or raised to be racist. It's still not right. Nice Post :)

[SpiderManFan2002]

Nice response. :)
What's even better about it is, like me you're young and you're aware they racism does, but shouldn't exist and the fact that we're the next generation, we should do a pretty good job at stamping it out ;)

[Stingray444]

Yea! 😋

And Thank you for the MHO! 😃🙃

[ShadowofRegret]

Good take miss.

It is sad how that Satan has divided people on so many things including race.

[SpiderManFan2002]

It really is. :(
I just wish everyone could see beyond skin colour.

[ShadowofRegret]

As do I, I am of mixed blood myself, so I do not get why race is such an issue with some.

[SpiderManFan2002]

You're mixed race? Cool. :)

What races are you then, if you don't mind me asking? :)

[ShadowofRegret]

Irish, Native American and Black.

My skin is golden tan.😊

[SpiderManFan2002]

That's cool you have lots of awesome heritage to explore :P

[ShadowofRegret]

Thank you miss, I think the same could be said of you.😉

[SpiderManFan2002]

And everyone else :P

[ShadowofRegret]

Agreed!😄

[PumpkinSpiceisnice]

I feel those people have a severe inferiority complex. Like, do actual confident people need to put down others? I don’t think so. I’ know I’m confident and secure, I don’t need to put down anyone.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Exactly, I prefer uplifting people, not putting them down ;)

[Shezadi]

Beautiful. Crystal clear to the point. You are too smart for your age.
I can no longer call you a "little" sister after reading this AMAZING article.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Haha thank you :)

[sawno]

I agree with you in the general sense that no race is superior over another, but its WAAAY more nuanced then you are making it seem. Because when it comes down to dated, like it or not racial preferences are a thing and most people on this website are indeed admitting they find one race more attractive than others, and most guys on here seem to be westerners attracted to white women.

So what would you want us to do when asked which race you find the most attractive? Lie? Do you want us to speak the standard doctrine of "Every race is really beautiful in its own right, and every women should be seen in her own beauty. But i like white girls" rather than just being upfront about it?

Because if anything really gets on my nerves its people behind dishonest and unpure, i hate it to deep within my soul. I will never adapt my language to water down what i mean beyond reason (Sometimes adapting the way i say it to make it less hard hitting can be useful with a sensetive audience but ill not change my message or water down what i stand for).

GAG does not have a racist problem, yes some people think races should be treated differently and that is a problem. But even they usually do it with good intentions trying to get a more balanced outcome not realising how tirannical their idea's are. Which is why i debate them on that if i see it.

But if you do wish to claim people having racial prefferences in dating is an issue then we can also say homosexuality is a problem because it would imply everyone has a choice what they are attracted to and homosexuality can not get offspring. So lets not try to become doctors of dating prefference shall we? Its pretty much established that people do have racial preferences especially in dating and nothing is wrong with that as long as we treat each other fairly.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I'm not talking about dating specifically, racial preferences are cool, I understand that some people may want to date their own race only, maybe to keep the gene pool flowing, or because simply that's what they find attractive. People may want to only date certain races because that's what they find attractive.

What I have a problem is people preaching that one race is the best. Nobody should ever say one race is the best because that implies all the other races are below that race.

If what they mean is, "I find the X race most attractive" then they should say that not claim that the X race is the best, because that's where racial supremacy kicks in, even if it's not intended but somebody else could take it that way.

[sawno]

There is another concept on the internet that not everyone is as well versed as you might assume they are. There are many non native speakers, people quickly typing on phones etc. I agree it would be better if they phrased it that way but 99% of the time that is what they actually mean when they say white girls are the best. Although in that sentence its a bit broader, it could extent to behavior as well but in the end they are speaking out a preference rather than superiority. Only people who are really racially motivated tend to read it that way, which is unsurpricing given how many of university proffesors are indoctrinating teens into thinking they are some kind of hateful mob while in reality its ordinary people without a racial lense.

[SpiderManFan2002]

In all honesty, putting that one phrase behind us, I do believe G@G has a racism problem.

[sawno]

On what grounds?

[SpiderManFan2002]

Well, just read this MyTake I wrote then you can make your own judgement because I think this can explain it best, I'm not saying everyone on G@G is a racist, I know people which are actually really nice on here but personally I feel there is no denying that there is racism on this website:

The Reality of Being a British Pakistani Muslim Girl. ↗

[ChocolateBrowny]

Haha becareful of the posh rich white areas of this country, they aren't culturally diverse and a few weeks ago i was out dating a white girl but it didn't stop a white English woman telling me to stand aside as she continued to ride her bike on the right side of the path as we were in her way taking a pictures of wildlife. She couldve gone around us, it not only offended me but the white girl i was with. She could see we also had her back turned to her. Another white waiter told me to pay for our meal in a restuarant that week aswell when we hadn't even finished our drinks. The sight of me with a white girl offends them. Im from a posh town in england and im when im either here or the other one down south i get some white supremecy coming my way. I do not react as these types will report. It's not narcissm, its racist. When the Indian women's hockey team won commonwealth gold, the england women pointed their fingers at then 'no no no' and protested for 1hr30minutes and paid for 3protests to the line judge. Yet when Cameroon had a tiny protest at a millimetre decision when up against the Women's england football team 2019, The England manager condemned their behaviour (white supremecy). I can tell you the Indian coaches in 2002 were humble and respectful of sporting emotions.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I am lucky to live in a multicultural city, sure it's not posh or anything but if one person is racist to another everyone will be against the racist person. That's how it was at my secondary school anyway.

It'd be so boring if there was only one type of person in England. Even my white friends agree on that. :P

[ChocolateBrowny]

ah well as long you like it thats fine, i find crime is high in multicultural cities (i studied in the black country), whilst you can be friends with an array of cultures, you'll find they put you in a priority list order. Imagine you (different culture) and another of their friends (own culture) are saying hello at the same time, theyll say hello to them first. Imagine talking to a person and their own culture friend pops up, uh oh you're no longer their priority. They'll also be different in their mood around you and reserved. I therefore stick to posh English towns as i may look dark in my photo (bad lighting) but im very light, blend in and feel safe. I also have posh English nurturing and mannerisms that the English trust and understand and they are more open-minded to me than my own race (although i do take 1 step back)! Workplaces are a whole different experience, your multicultural upbringing will prepare you for that i hope anyway so its good you pride yourself in saying your lucky.

[Hehey]

They were probably surprised because it's super rare for a white girl to date indian guy.

[ChocolateBrowny]

@Hehey its not rare in the black country where lots of poor English and middle-class Asians are. But yes i agree its not seen much in posh wealthy towns because typical indian men would find it hard to not only afford these houses but also be accepted in a job. I dont have any indian friends and my first girlfriend was English.

[Hehey]

It is rare everywhere in USA there are so many indian men more than 90% of them have indian girlfriend and most of these men are rich lol one britisher told me that whenever a English girl date non English guy it is either other European or a black guy.

[SpiderManFan2002]

@Hehey It's not as a rare as you think you know. I've seen plenty of Indian men dating white women, and plenty of white men dating Indian women.

My uncle even got married to and had kids with a white woman, he's Pakistani, not Indian though.

[Hehey]

I never have seen it lol i usually see indians with indians.

[SpiderManFan2002]

@Hehey Oh, you're from the US? I can't really speak for across the pond, but in the UK it isn't much of a rarity.

[Hehey]

Well i migrated to USA like 5 year ago so i guess guess one English guy told me that whenever a English guy date non English girl it is either other European or Asian girl (non indian i know in UK they call them Asian ) and when a English girl date outside it's either other European or black guy.

[ChocolateBrowny]

@Hehey you know why English girls are swayed by cultured Asian men (i can't say all, but im saying the type you'd find cute, kind, patient) they'd not cheat on her. We build love in such a way that sustain a long lasting marriage. Even to this day my first English girlfriend of 5yrs can't forget me and keeps wishing to rekindle interest. Oh and im a virgin so i won't have sex until marriage.

[Hehey]

Lol in america indian men are considered beta

[ChocolateBrowny]

@Hehey haha that ignorance could deny you someone loyal who doesn't cheat

[Britantic]

It's a good mytake but there are some misconceptions and certain bias against white people in it. White people celebrating their rich heritage and sharing their culture does not take away from your own or others. You need to be more tolerant towards white people and white culture. This White Queen bears you no ill will I just hope in time the hot hatred you feel for white people will cool. You have no reason to feel inferior to us White Queens, who cares if soceity holds us up as the "supposed" Standard of Beauty that foesnt matter.
#WHITEQUEEN

[SpiderManFan2002]

Honey, I don't feel inferior to "white queens" and I hold no hatred towards you either.

I have actually grown up in a really diverse city full of people of various ethnicities, even my best friend who is Hungarian white thought that those questions asked were extremely racist if anything she pointed that out before me.

You know I even have white people in my family? Why would I hold hatred towards my own family members?

Society doesn't hold you up as the supposed standard of beauty, who are you to speak for the whole of society?








People view all these women as beautiful too. A mixture of women, not just one kind ;)

[Britantic]

cswr.columbia.edu/.../
www.google.com/.../
I never said white queens were the Standard of Beauty but the supposed Standard.
Your first picture is of Beyonce who has dyed her hair and is said to lighten her skin color to conform to society's supposed white standard of beauty.
Also by singling out white people as narcissistic & racist in a negative way you are actually being racist.

[SpiderManFan2002]

And Beyonce dyes her hair? So what? So does Stacey Dooley? She's said to use skin lighteners doesn't mean she does, well, a lot of white women spend money on fake tan, and sit in sunbeds.

Two articles, wow, from again, just another person's perspective. A person's perspective doesn't speak for the whole of society. Beauty is subjective, not objective. Society has no standard of beauty because each and every person has their own preferences and dislikes.

I never said white people are racist or narcissistic, I'm just conveying a view about certain posts on here. After all, I'm not the first to describe the posts in that way.

[Britantic]

I used the word supposed if You reread.
supposed
generally assumed or believed to be the case, but not necessarily so.

It's more than two articles if you care to look it up, there's a lot written about it & women if colour often complain about it.
I'm saying that you be targeting white people or specifically me for celebrating my cultural heritage& ethnicity are being racist even if you have other racists saying the same thing.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I know plenty of white people who openly celebrate their heritage in front of me.

My best friend who's Hungarian.
My British Irish friends.
My former Lithuanian teacher.
My French teacher.

But none of them claim their race is the "supposed standard of beauty" nor do they say "don't thank the lord thank the whites".

I told my best friend that phrase and she was gobsmacked and said to me: "That is so racist!" Now, why would an educated white girl, be racist against her own race? She celebrates who she is too.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That may be true, but what group of people will admit that they're WORST then another group?
Exactly, NONE!

And that "Thank The Whites" MyTake was simply showcasing contributions of the white race to society. Technological, cultural and scientific innovations. The world wouldn't be like it is today, if it wasn't for the contributions of the whites.

What are the contributions of Pakistanis?

Why are white and East Asian countries the most civilized and advanced on earth, while Pakistan is a poor diseased, impoverished nation full of radical Islamists. What positive things have PAKISTANIS contributed to society?

The world would be an impoverished uncivilized shithole if it weren't for whites and Asians!

So other races are less advanced culturally and technologically, but some how that's OUR fault?
Maybe Pakistanis should be teaching their young men science and medicine, instead of radicalizing them and teaching them to despise the West!

[SpiderManFan2002]

Positive things Pakistanis have contributed to society... Let me think...
Fertilizers with non-explosive materials
Sagar Veena
Software Simulation which could potentially reduce the death rates in a bomb blast
The Ommaya Reservoir
A lavotry which converts human waste into minerals and clean water
A brain silicon chip connection
Human development index
(c) brain
Imran Khan one of the greatest cricketers to ever live.
The first workable plastic magnet

You completely missed the point of this MyTake. And just your claims alone, show how uneducated you are. Pakistanis contributed to society in those ways in which I listed above but you don't see me saying "Don't thank the lord! Thank the Pakistanis!"

Because I know yes, we've contributed to society in some pretty cool ways, but I know we're still human at the end of the day, and in some way every human has contributed to society. Just because I haven't heard of the contributions doesn't mean that they haven't been done.

So before I thank the Pakistanis or white people, or any other race, I thank humanity, because we're all humans at the end of the day.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Okay thank you.
But they also gave us the Taliban and grooming gangs.

But is it not true that White and East Asian countries are the only ones that are classified as First World/Developed?
How do you explain that?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why is Pakistan the only nation on earth where children are still dieing from polio?

[SpiderManFan2002]

Oh, the old grooming gang argument. Grooming gangs are an issue there's no denying that. BUT- did you know 90% of convicted grooming gangs in the UK are actually of white ethnicity? Why does nobody look at that? Don't believe me?

fullfact.org/.../

All those great things I listed yet you're still looking at two awful things. The Taliban. Right, well, what about the KKK, and the Nazi party? Are those not terrorist organisations either? Who invented those?

If I remember correctly the KKK used to chase black children and hang them from no reason other than their skin colour. And the Nazi party gassed people solely for being Jewish?

White and East Asian countries are classed as first world and developed. Yes, you are correct. Because those countries have had the resources, to get that far. Nothing to do with race.

And also why was it after the war, they called people from black and South Asian countries to help them rebuild the country? Surely, there were many other people they could have called over, no?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Those things really haven't benefited mass society.
Those aren't such a modern day problem, as Islamic terrorism
Yeah, and a Palestinian men allied with Hitler and spread anti-semitism in the Middle East, and hundreds of innocent Jews have been killed by Palestinian terrorists because of it.
Really? You don't think it has anything to do with race?
West Africa has tons of natural resources
Brazil has tons of natural resources
Saudi Arabia has tons of natural resources
So why aren't THEY first world countries?

Which country are you talking about?

Also, if Pakistan is so great, why do you live in white England?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Why do so many minorities leave their countries for WHITE countries?

[SpiderManFan2002]

Who takes natural resources?

Where do you think our oil comes from?

I live here because my grandfather was asked to come here all those years ago, he came because he was asked.

England is great. Pakistan is great. All countries are great! I love all countries and I am nobody to say one country is a shithole because I haven't visited any other country, heck, I haven't even been to the South of England.

And even if I had visited everywhere in this world, I am still nobody to call somebody's home a shithole because it's not my home to insult.

And I think you should do some research on those inventions because society has benefited immensely from them even if you don't know it.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Those countries sell the oil themselves, because they make money from them.
I'm not denying the U. S. did some damage in the Middle East, but you can't blame it all on us. Because we're not the ones who started the Arab Spring. We didn't tell the Syrian people to overthrow Assad.
These people have been fighting for as long as I can remember. Religion of peace, yet these people cannot live without violence.

I disagree with you that all countries are great, but that's okay. If you believe that, I'll buy you a ticket to Venezuela right now.
This kind of thinking can put your life in danger.
I wish everyone would just be nice to each other, but sadly, the world doesn't operate like that.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I apologize if I came across as a little aggressive.
I see you are still young. You will understand certain things when you're older.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Good luck trying to send me to Venezuela when I don't even have a passport.

But I do know this, Venezuela is one of the largest oil suppliers- without we might not have the electric to be talking online right now. So no, I will not call their country a shithole country, I will thank Venezuela contributing to the privileges I have today, such as electricity.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

So you have electricity thanks to them, while their people don't even have toilet paper and proper housing. So it seems you don't support the "My Country FIRST" mentality.
And how much oil does the UK actually import from Venezuela?







YEP. Lovely place indeed.

[SpiderManFan2002]

@ZeussLightningBolt You said it yourself. Our countries have electricity thanks to them, yet their countries don't even have decent toilet paper or proper housing.

www.statista.com/.../

We still import something for them. It isn't fair on them, so I'm not going to shit on those people by calling their home shit because it ain't my home to call shit.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I mean, it kind of is, but that's fine.
Basically every nation was built with the help of another. I think we can both agree on THAT

[Shezadi]

Mayor of London is a Pakistani.
British Home secretary is a Pakistani.
British Boxing Champion is also a Pakistani.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@Shezadi What role does the home secretary play? Shadiq Khan is not a nice man. I still don't know how he got elected. There aren't enough Pakistanis or even Muslims in London for a majority vote.

[Shezadi]

Zeuuss, hahahahahahaha, such an innocent question, "how did he get elected?"
He prayed perhaps.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@Shezadi Wouldn't surprise me. lol

[Shezadi]

Zeuss, he had his mother's blessings.
Maa ki dua jannat ki hawa.
Use google translate.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@Shezadi What will be the mother in dua paradise? That doesn't make any sense

[ZeussLightningBolt]

OMG.
Stupid Google translate thought it was Bengali!

[Shezadi]

Zeuss, the line means, "mother's blessing, heaven's air" there are rhymes.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

@Shezadi Thank you. That's a nice quote.

[SpiderManFan2002]

@ZeussLightningBolt It's not just Pakistanis or Muslims which voted for Sadiq Khan. I imagine people from all communities voted him in.

At the time, not even he thought he'd get elected because the man he was up against was spewing all kinds of lies about him. Calling him a terrorist when he clearly was a hardworking man. I mean his parents were immigrants so imagine how hard he must have worked to get to the position he is in today.

People saw how hard Khan worked and then his opponent calling him a terrorist purely because he's Muslim. And I don't know how you guys do it in America, but in England, the majority of the people don't tolerate things like that.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

You're right. White SJWs probably also voted for him.
Well I heard he wants to impose Sharia Law, but "terrorist" is a bit of a stretch.
But Donald Trump gets called a Nazi so, this is nothing surprising to me.

They don't tolerate it because he's a minority. If he was white, they would have no problem with people calling him a Nazi. *cough cough Boris Johnson.

It's not much different here.
Call Obama a Muslim, and you'll lose your job
Call Trump a Nazi, and you'll get a promotion.

They did the same withe Le Pen in France. But if they slandered a minority candidate, there would be so much outrage.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Borish Johnson is a baffoon.
He lied about Brexit.
He called French people turds but BBC cut it out.
He's been anti-Scottish.
He's been homophobic.
He's been Islamophobic.
He's been racist to black people.

And the list only goes on. I don't support Trump, nor do I support Johnson both are as bad as each other, and if Johnson becomes our leader then I don't know how people let this happen.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Well, I don't like Boris Johnson either, but I just used him as an example, as I don't know any other British politicians who were labeled "Nazis". But I don't know why, his policies are actually very Liberal. He supports LGBT and immigration.

Well, virtually all English people hate the French and Scottish.

I'm not so sure about him, because he endorsed Barrack Obama , and he banned a radical church organization from displaying homophobic stickers on buses, and he supported amnesty for illegal immigrants and even attended a gay pride parade.

[SpiderManFan2002]

He does everything for show, he doesn't care about the actual country just his own career. He'd sell Britain down the gutter as long as he gets to be PM nothing else matters to him.

[Shezadi]

Spiderfanman, totally agree with you. My entire family says that about the conservative party, they only care about their salary and business not the country's culture that is being ruined by immigrants from Europe. Yes, I was an immigrant also but immigration had to stop at some point...

[SpiderManFan2002]

@Shezadi To be honest, I think immigration should be controlled but not stopped completely.
Because the truth is immigration has never stopped. People didn't just rise from the ground, and BAM! They're in England. No, somebody at some point found this land, therefore, they came here, and people have been coming and going from here for generations.

A lot of immigrants do contribute well to society. It's the immigrants that work on the farms, and do jobs which British born people don't tend to do. Plus, the British population is aging, we have more elderly than we do young people, so having young immigrant families come to this country could help our population become younger.

When our population becomes younger, it's better for the economy as it means more people can work, and it's better for society as well because immigrants bring cool new things with them, like their food from their country, clothes, their language.

That's my view of it.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That was kind of my suspicion. That he did all that to fix his image, but deep down he feels very differently.

@Shezadi
CONSERVATIVE party?

Sorry, I get so confused when discussing politics with Brits, because I think the views of parties in both countries are reversed, so whenever I here Conservative, I think Trump. And whenever I hear Liberal, I think Hillary Clinton.

[Shezadi]

Zeuss, lol. The British dictionary and politics are different. Sadiq Khan and Sajid Javid will handle everything.

[eminde]

Yup absolutely true I came upon certain uselessly racist questions which makes me think that are we living in 21st century right now?”I mean we’re heading towards 2020 dammit grow up from discrimination!!!”

[SpiderManFan2002]

I know, the human race has been to space, we've made technological advances yet we can't find a solution to something as simple as discrimination?

[eminde]

True!!!

[DWD94]

"The truth is, you can't define it. Maybe for your personal preferences sure, but there is no such thing as a supposed standard of beauty because there is no one standard of beauty. People of all races can have beauty. One person's beautiful may be another person's ugly."

Yes people of all races can have beauty however there is a general standard for beauty. Ever heard of the Golden Ratio? It is a concept that measures beauty on an objective basis through means of proportion and symmetry. And it has been proven that humans are attracted to symmetry.

[SpiderManFan2002]

General doesn't mean all.

[Girther10]

I think that generally, whenever you see a “question” with any words like “white”, or”black”, in reference to people, it’s a sure sign that some level of implied racism is there. Why say anything about (insert color here) people at all? Describing people in terms of color should be universally unacceptable. We need to get out of this “color” mindset once and for all.
Good take, well written and organized. Thought provoking and pleasurable to read. Thank you @SpiderManFan2002.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I love once what Morgan Freeman said "Racism will I end when I stop calling you a white man, and you stop calling me a black man" or something along those lines :)

[Girther10]

@spider- great minds think alike😂🤪

[Daniela1982]

Get used to it. We face some kind of discrimination every day, be it your race, color of your skin, or weight. Or a combination of any of the above. I've faced the fat shaming. You have two choices. Either deal with it or do something about it. I did something about it and am losing weight. But until I get down to a normal weight I still face it.

[SpiderManFan2002]

No, I won't get used to it, I will fight against it until the day I die. What do you expect me to do bleach my skin white? No, thank you. I like my skin as it is, and others who don't like it should get used to it.

I ain't changing for nobody.

[Daniela1982]

So you have 2 choices - do something about it if you can. or deal with it. Little Kim bleached her skin to become white. So you CAN do something and it is possible.

[SpiderManFan2002]

@Daniela1982 I don't even know who little Kim is. And hell no, I will never bleach my skin and become white to appease a few racists. They need to change, not me. I feel amazing in my own skin and am proud of it.

I'm not the one in the wrong, they are.

[JDavid25]

Great take.. I agree with everything except the proud part.. I am very satisfied in my skin shade, hair texture, and culture I come from.. But, I wouldn't say I'm proud of a social label put on me by society.. I accept that I am seen as a "Black" man through society..

[SpiderManFan2002]

When I say 'proud' I don't mean in a prideful arrogant way, I mean, like you I am happy with myself as I am. :)

You must not watch Family Guy. That is where that came from "Don't thank the lord, thank the Whites."
It is referring to the fact that Whites invented/discovered almost everything we use. Way more than all other races combined. It was even a song on that Family Guy cartoon. That is where that came from.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Still, they shouldn't suggest that. If I went on here and said, "Don't thank the lords, thank the browns", I'd get complaints and most likely racist comments about my culture.

It doesn't matter where it comes from, it shouldn't be said.

People have the luxury of thinking what they think. You can post all about the white race, the black race, the Asian race or the Hispanic race. Do I favor one over the other? Now. Reading some of those posts are interesting in terms of trying to understand the mindset of the person. If it's all about hate, then it's really simple.

[SpiderManFan2002]

In my eyes, it is down to hate but because these days you can't blatantly say it, so they do it cleverly subtly.

[themomo84]

Not so subtle is my point

I honestly don't think people are racist as you think. Some idiots are like one guy told me he wants all minorites deported out of the US to make it all white. But they are a small percentage of people who think like that. I have no problem with any race at all. In all honestly though i do see a lot of reverse racism on here. Also I see a lot of people called out for being racist who really are not.

[SpiderManFan2002]

I've met a number of racist people on here.
One person said Britain should only be for whites.
One person said nobody likes people of colour.
People have called me not British because I happen to be of Pakistani heritage.

I've also seen Islamophobic people on here.
One person told me I was part of a cult and said I had no humanity about me because I'm Muslim.
I know, it's not everyone on here, some people are actually really nice on here, and some people genuinely don't know things about different cultures and once you correct them, they realise their errors. But I do think there is a racism problem on this website too, sometimes.

[RoyalFlushAce]

People are idiots and a lot of people on this site are honestly mentally ill that is why they say these things.

That don't thank the lord was probably someone joking, but most people have race preferences for dating, doesn't mean they are totally closed to other races, just that they prefer one or another. And I know white people who prefer to always date non whites. For me it's fine.

I always think that we should judge more by what people are in control of. That's a better way of getting to know someone

[SpiderManFan2002]

It doesn't matter if it was a joke it should have never been said.

[Sevenpointfive]

i think it's a small crowd of people on both sides of every issue that like to get a reaction out of the other side for kicks. i don't think any is too serious about it. some are...

Narcissism & Racism? The reality is, we are all (and I mean all of us, left or right) the victims of Identity Politics strategy.

I can't really find anything in this MyTake that I disagree with. Great MyTake!

[SpiderManFan2002]

Thank you! :-)
Unite! <3

[tartaarsaus]

You're welcome ☺️

People should definitely unite more rather than this weird racism on GAG

Bigots are just stupid inferior children, constantly crying and being jealous

[SpiderManFan2002]

You said it ;)

[Dchrls78104]

Like I've always been saying, racism is a form of narcissism and racists need to be institutionalised or locked up.

[PrincessGrail]

This is an amazing Take.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Thank you so much! :) <3
