Anybody else agree that black people need to stop victimizing themselves?

[Anonymous]

I notice all the time that black people in particular love to complain about things and blame stuff on race. Someone doesn’t give them what they want? It’s because they are racist towards black people. White people talk politics about lazy immigrants or whatever and black people say “that’s funny considering y’all were so lazy you used slaves.” like come on 1.6% had slaves. and those people were their ancestors. i don’t know it just bothers me, because they do just as well as white people if they work hard. more of a rant. and i’m not racist, i’m just tired of black racist people. white people i will come for you sometimes. Asians and mexicans, etc i won’t forget y’all too.

Systematic racism is still a very prevalent thing. The idea that a black person who works just as hard as a white person will do just as well is just a myth for the vast majority. A Black kid born in Harlem has to go to a horribly rated public school with very limited connection or opportunities, compared to a white kid at a private school. On average, poorer communities with worse schools have a larger black population, so they can't lift themselves out of it because they weren't given the same chances. Black people can do as well as white people, but normally their parents have to work two jobs, the students have to work nights, to afford tuition. It's really bad and very common.

[Asker]

very true. but i believe instead of complaining they should do their best to help themselves.

[Opinion Owner]

Sure, but that's the problem, there is no way to get themselves out of it because it's a repeating cycle. Sure, occasionally people can get enough jobs to lift themselves out of it but there is physically not enough jobs for everyone to work enough jobs to get out of those situations. This is why entry requirements are lowered for people from certain areas, to try and give those people a chance because otherwise they have no way of getting out of it.

Personally, I think if someone is going to talk about groups then some responses are justified. If someone is going to say "black people" need to stop X. Saying "white people" need to stop Y is a fair response.

They brought up lazy immigrants, then hear back lazy white people. That's fair in my opinion. Percentage doesn't matter. They made it about groups as a whole and associating things with that group.

Victimization is bad for everyone. Men do it, women do it and people of every color. I'm not about to say that black people who do it are particularly worse than any other type of person doing it. Just have a spine no matter who you are *shrugs*

[Asker]

very true. ngl i regret putting black people instead of all people

[rjroy3]

you had an example prevalent in your mind that existed. Only makes sense to use. When I think of people victimizing themselves I immediately think of people who want Socialism/Democratic Socialism and look at Capitalism as inherently bad. Almost invariably they view themselves as a victim usually by way of poverty and demonize rich people. Which is another prime example so many do. I remember playing sports growing up. Less athletic people would play victim by not being naturally inclined to do it, when others were. It's like. Dude. Work Hard. Get better. Shut up. lol

[Asker]

exactly. it’s just i’ve seen them use the race card so it just pisses me off

[rjroy3]

Happens for sure. But in their defense they may have grown up with that as a reality. I've had many a time someone did, said or just acted in a certain way towards me just because I'm black. I've also heard on more than one occasion from people like that saying "you're black, but you don't act black" and it was said with some kind of sigh of relief. Like they could relax around me, when before they were uptight because to them they were dealing with a black person who "acted black" I guess which they certainly don't like.

I actually have more reason to use the race card than a lot of black people lol. I just don't because it's stupid to me. Ignorant people are ignorant and that won't change with me.

[Asker]

you’re probably one of the most mature people i’ve ever had a conversation with.

any thanks for trying to help me understand. i do know it’s not all black people who play the victim it’s just some

[rjroy3]

lol I have my moments. Hope you have a good day girly

[Asker]

you too

[Anonymous]

Black people still are victims of an incredible amount of systemic racism. They aren't doing it to themselves.

And, you ARE a racist if you think all a black person needs to do is work hard. You just don't acknowledge the subtle prejudices you have.

Infact, this whole rant is essentially racist.

Maybe take some time to know some black people, and develop a better understanding of what they deal with daily. Maybe follow some black specific twitterers, Facebook pages, etc.

[Asker]

i do. i follow black people. i’m friends with black people. and they agree with me. mainly because these are the black people that did work hard. and got themselves out of the hole.

[Opinion Owner]

It takes much more than just hard work.

And having black friends doesn't make what you're saying any more sensitive or unracist.

[Asker]

kinda does. if i was racist i wouldn’t have black friends 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Opinion Owner]

Plenty of racists have black friends. That you harbor unfair prejudices is what makes you racist.

[Opinion Owner]

That you think black people are just victimizing themselves shows your racism.

[Asker]

well they are. the fact that you don’t agree shows your ignorance ms anon

[Opinion Owner]

You keep telling yourself that then. And believe these false, prejudiced things if you want. Just own it. Don't try to pretend you're not racist.

I mean, I know I harbor some pretty racist thoughts at times, and unlearning them over time has been a quite intentional process, and ongoing.

But to deny the experiences of millions of marginalized people simply because you don't perceive the experiences they have is pretty much what racism is.

[Opinion Owner]

Good luck to you. Next time you might want to post that you only want to hear from people who won't call you out.

[BrookieCookie0422]

Yes I’ve heard of this and seen this happen way too much unfortunately. A girl who got her nails done at the nail salon in my town was complaining that they charged her more than the previous customer because she’s black. But actually her nails were more expensive because she got embellishments and the other girl got plain nails. But she called them racist and tried to leave without paying.

They called the cops on her but she still got away with paying half.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Unfucking believable

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt irk?

[ZeussLightningBolt]

One time in my PE class, I fouled a black kid, and he told the teacher that I fouled him 'cuz he was black.

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt fucking unreal 😂 the shit they pull smh

[Asker]

it’s so annoying i’ve seen so much stuff like that. or they write reviews for company’s and try to destroy them for nothing

[BrookieCookie0422]

It’s just wrong and tbh it’s racist

[ZeussLightningBolt]

You're not allowed to hate a black guy because of his personality, because he'll say you're racist.
I once told a black kid in class that I don't like Obama, and he said, "Why, are you a racist?"
This Hmong kid defended me and said, "He didn't say he doesn't like him because he's black."

Remember when Philip Sheppard played the race card on "Survivor"?

[Asker]

it is. i’ve literally heard black people call white people or Asians and latinos disgusting names but when another person calls them the n word. omg they blow up.

[Asker]

@ZeussLightningBolt
yeah the only reason they liked obama was because he was black. man was one of our worst presidents. and no what happened

[BrookieCookie0422]

It’s sad but true

[Asker]

and i’m sick of it. i use the race card for humor. not to get shit from people or push myself forward

[BrookieCookie0422]

That’s how people abuse it man. I think joking about race should be done more. Laughter is the best medicine.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

That's true.
I got called into the office one time, and this black guy started laughing at me "HAHA! That's why you get White boy."
But when I used the N word in class, he wanted to kick my ass.
And he got angry when the class was joking with him that he's on steroids, and he got angry and walked out of class.
And another black guy walked out of class, 'cuz the teacher used the word, "Black." He said, "I'm not gonna listen to this shit."

I could tell you several more stories. Black people are the most asshole race, in my opinion.

Yeah EXACTLY! They only liked him 'cuz he was black. And he won the Nobel price for being black.

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt it’s all true and all sucks ass. They act like they deserve to act like racist assholes and walk all over everyone else.

Of course, I’ve met plenty of black people who don’t act like this. One of my besties is black 😁 but she doesn’t act black lmao.

But a higher percentage of them act like that than any other race.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

I LOVE racist jokes. LOL
"If you ain't laughin, you ain't livin"
"You find it offensive, I find it funny. That's why I'm happier than you"

My account got frozen before for grotuetesque use of the N word. And by N word, I mean "nlggger"

I LOVE Chappelle!

Oddly enough, other slurs are fine

[ZeussLightningBolt]

As Chris Rock said, "there are black people, and there's nlggers". You can probably guess which are which, and which I have an issue with.

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt CHAPPELL is the man!!

I love racist jokes 😂 I like to push the boundaries with humor. The guy I’m dating is half Vietnamese but he looks kind of Mexican. His friends and I make jokes about it all the time. We told him to make some tacos for us one night lmfao. And that was a tame joke.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

There's one black guy on here who said I'm racist, cuz I only posted white girls in my MyTake.
I showed him how ethnically diverse it was.
He said, "You're STILL racist, because the girls are all light", which wasn't true 'cuz I had a few brown girls.
He said, "but you didn't put any dark girls. That's not cool with me."
SO what? I don't have to be attracted to dark girls, if I don't want to.
And I wasn't even paying attention to skin color, when I wrote that. I just posted girls I thought were attractive.
It's the asshole idiot ManOnFire. And he wrote an entire MyTake about how annoying white women are, and it was allowed to stay up.
I think he's bitter 'cuz he can't get one.
If I had a dollar for everytime I got called a "racist" on this site, I'd be one rich Cracker.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

In my high school history class, it was ME, another white guy, two black guys, and a Mexican in one group. We would make racist jokes all the time, and no one cared. Even using racial slurs. How times have changed.
Some black people are chill, others not so much.

The best one was when the black guy, actually he was half black half Mexican, was always talking to this old teacher's aid in class. So one time I said, "Geeze, I know black guys like white girls, but damn."
OMG, the other black guy in our group was cracking up.

The only time people, including the Mexican in my group, got offended was when this anti-racism lady was giving a speech in class, and said she has 9 siblings, and I asked her if she's Mexican, 'cuz she has a lot of kids. She called me prejudiced. It was fucking hilarious, 'cuz it was an anti-racism lady. That was like a Sacha Baron Cohen moment right there. But once class got out, half the class, including a couple Mexicans were laughing, even saying it's true.

Oh man, I'd get expelled if I did that shit today.
How times have changed.

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt “rich cracker” that’s fucking GOLD
I love it! Lmfao

I’m glad you and your friends were so chill about those jokes. I love it when people can joke around about that kind of thing. I find that guys have an easier time doing this than women do.

Also, I find that people joke about their own race and like to hear jokes about their race more than any other. People who complain about racism only care about people being racist to people of other races. And I think they are trying to come off as super caring or concerned or whatever but half the time, I think they are just kissing ass or using it as a way to feel superior to others. Like they’re some moral hero or some shit.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Many do, but some only think it's okay when the person of that race makes those jokes. The N word being the bets example of this. I know Chris Rock taped his early specials in front of Black audiences only, because he was afraid that white people would use his jokes to reinforce racist stereotypes and racial hatred.

And thanks. I try.

Lisa Lampinelli used to be fucking hilarious, but then she turned into a Liberal feminist

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt oof I had it when that happens

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Me too.
Same thing happened to Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffith

I haven't seen too many good female comedians these days.

I still think black comedians are the best, because they can get away with joking about ANYTHING. Do you know Aires Spears? He's interesting 'cuz he hassles his audience members. I've heard many people say this is unprofessional, but I actually think it's cool that he gets his audience involved.

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt I love comedians that interact with their audience!

I haven’t heard of him. I really like Andrew Schulz though. I think I spelled his name right lmao

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Sounds familiar, but I don't think I've seen his stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c26TEYXgLyQ

One of my favorite one of his though is when he was hassling two lesbians

Aires: Do you like dick?
Lesbian: NO
Aires: Have you ever fucked with a strap on?
Lesbian: OH YES
Aires: So you like dick, you just don't like what it's attached to

And Chris Rock is great because everything he says is true :p

Blacks are hilarious because they're great at poking fun at their situation.

This one black girl on GAG told me, "We don't swim or play volleyball, 'cuz we stay away from the ocean, because the last time we went to the beach, we got taken away in ships by white people" :p

I'm starting to like some of Trevor Noah's stuff too, even though he's a Liberal

[BrookieCookie0422]

@ZeussLightningBolt lmfao that’s hilarious! I’ll look at the link sometime. Maybe tomorrow and I’ll let you know what I think

[EmperorOfRussia]

I agree with you. Unfortunately, many Whites are to blame for this, bearing in mind how White SJWs treat Blacks as if they were angels just for having a Black skin and do no wrong. They eventually start to see the world in a spoiled rotten kid's perspective and this type of victim mentality goes full speed ahead.

It would be great if victim mentality and this "Oppression Olympics" were written off from history, but I think we will take a long time to achieve this.

For the time being, I think if some G@G's Black users stop creating fake profiles to ask race baiting troll questions here... Well, it would be a real evolution!

[MackToday]

Socialism causes broken homes, the state becomes the woman's husband. Fatherlessness means young men without direction. Studies bear out that young men develop because of their fathers influence, no father, no development. Violent thugs are the result.

[Asker]

very true. people don’t realize that too much masculinity isn’t the problem. a lack of masculinity is

[name_is_eric]

Some of them want handouts, instead of hard work. Which tarnishes the others' reputation.

Same thing with white people and slavery, my kinfolk never took part in any slave trade (or benefited from it), yet I get the blame? Some ethnics make no sense.

[Anonymous]

there's a whole lotta groups that needa stop playing victim now but they won't because they got Democrats and liberals fighting to give them more and more free shit.

[Asker]

cough LGBT

[Opinion Owner]

lol yep. they're definitely near the top on my inclusive list of people overplaying their victim cards.

[Goodgirl120]

And they should stop trying to change the race of the character. Ariel is white.

[Asker]

exactly

[upen007]

Don't talk about skin. Human skin had no use. Even animals skin have.

[ZeussLightningBolt]

Blacks
Latinos
Faggots
Trannies
MUSLIMS

[Asker]

Omg did you hear about that one latino who complained that she didn’t get paid as much as black and Asian actors. pathetic

[ZeussLightningBolt]

No, but I believe it.
Have you read that MyTake, "Who's keeping us poor?"
It was written by a Latina, but she said the same things conservatives say

[Asker]

nope
