Yes. And I'm considered white. But I've had people of color attack me for being white.
It’s impossible for black people to be racist. White people don’t lose their jobs, lose their house, lose their car, lose their financial capability at local banks, or be denied loans as a result of racial discrimination.
What you experienced is black on white racial discrimination. Two very different things. The government system works in your favor because you are white and they are not.
Racism works in a system. Discrimination works on an individual level.
Prove it. You can't because there is no proof that I am treated different for my skin color.
These people don't truly know they lost their job, lost their house, lost their car, are denied loans, or lost their financial standing because they are black. That's the first thing they jump too.
I remember sitting near a table of a black family. The waitress messed up the order and instantly they claimed she was being racist. There's tons of videos with Uber driver's not being able to take this black family because they had no buster seat. So they called him racist and swore they will report him. That happens so much with black people playing the race card.
But not all black people are like that. Some make all good choices and become successful. And it's funny you think we have systemic racism yet somehow we elected a black man to have the most important job in the United States.
Some are very racist whether you deny it or not. A black woman got mad because her Uber driver could only seat 3 people. Not 4 people she had. She was calling the Asian man a chink. That's racist. Even assuming us white people have more privilege than minority race's because of our skin color is completely racist.
Racism is discriminating against someone's skin color.
In fact I can prove it. Neighborhoods are red lined to prevent minorities from exactly just that. Bank loans are denied to minorities because in fact they are minorities. Seriously look it up.
You’ve never experienced racism because you’ve never lost your job because of racism. Where if you are black or any other type of minority you face consequences. There are repercussions from enslaving an entire race for years and years. A lot of that hate for blacks is still very much alive today. Literally a white man just shot up a store in NY for the fact that he hated blacks and here you are complaining about how one black lady called you racist and thinking that’s the same hate blacks have faced their entire lives?
Get over yourself 😆 you’re white sensitivity is showing.
@snowboarder720 funny how your type of people blame racism for everything.
As if there aren't other factors to consider
Factors have been considered which motivates the years of protesting. What’s left is the ignorance of others believing that there are no repercussions of enslaving an entire race inside a country that was made from the root of racism.
Just because you don’t first hand experience racism doesn’t prove it’s inexistence.
The evidence is clear as day. White mass shooters are arrested alive while unarmed black citizens are murdered for walking home. Even the so called ‘heroes’ the right wings worship are charged with murder in the first degree. Still you choose to not believe racism exists. If that doesn’t prove it then nothing will and you will continue to deny the existence of any racism ONLY until a black person calls you racist. That’s when you finally say there’s racism? Lol you clearly view the world from your own perspective and refuse to experience life outside of your own experiences making it useless to even learn about it.
@snowboarder720
1. Spare me the slavery bullshit. My ancestors were slaves. Slave card rejected.
2. I never said it doesn't exist, i just pointed out that it seems to be an answer for everything these days.
Which black person was shot recently while doing nothing to warant it?
wasn't the black guy who shot up a train station a few weeks ago taken alive?
3. A black person won't call me racist because in my country , there's like 100 of them in total and all of them live in big cities.
Of course i view the world from my own perspective... the fuck kinda statement is that
Live in your ignorance because you have nothing further to fight for. Get blockkkked
@grega239 "Which black person was shot recently while doing nothing to warrant it?" look into the recent Buffalo New York shooting.. pretty sad stuff. A white supremacist drove 3 hours to a predominantly black neighborhood with the intent to kill specifically black people. He killed 10 people. Innocent people shopping at a grocery store. Just for being black. And specifically cause he wrote a "manifesto" not actually a manifesto but yeah he wrote long detailed about why he was going to do this.
I never said racism doesn't exist in individuals. What I'm saying is racism is in people of all races. But when you have people claiming racism because they got fired, were denied a loan, got shot by police in most cases them having a weapon then people automatically say it was racism then the real racist cases aren't believed.
How many of those black people who got shot, despite being unarmed, were fighting the police? Leaving the police to fear for their lives because they don't know if they have a hidden weapon or feel them grabbing for their weapons?
And why do you assume it's because the cop is racist instead of him fearing for his life? Because the news told you that? Because black people are disportionatley shot by police even tho they disportionatley commit more violent crimes. Did you ever stop to think that's why black people are pulled over more because the police patrol the areas that have the most crime?
You are living proof that what politicians are doing to divide us is working. They want you to believe we are more racist now than we were 50 years ago because it keeps money in their pockets with your votes. They play on your emotions because it's worked since forever.
And what about all the successful black people there are today that disagree with you because they didn't get denied for a loan having good credit. Or maybe they did get denied but don't blame it on the white racist man.
Black people use to be victims. But today they have every opportunity I have. Some even more opportunities than me because I made some bad choices. I don't go around saying I was denied everything because I'm fat.
And go ahead and block me too. Only people who know they are wrong and have no good argument block people.
@grega239 I've also heard that he had the name of the victims from that black guy that ran over and killed white people at that Christmas parade last year in Wisconsin. So this may have been a racist revenge shooting. Because it was a black man that purposely killed white people, he went on his own mass killing rampage to kill black people. Also there was 2 white people shot as well.

It's further proof that racism isn't just a white problem.
Of course I’m white in 2022 course experience racism you’re not black so you can’t talk about these issues the fuck does being black have to do with issues or being a woman for that matter I’ve experienced sexism
Sometimes I feel like becoming racist against the type of immigrants here behave like parasites, refuse to go to work, refuse to integrate or adapt to our culture, bring their drug trafficing mafia here and cry "racist" if you tell them to turn down the loud music at 3am
Yes, because I had my mother' surname - which is a foreign surname in my country - and her accent.
I've since rectified that by taking my father' surname some years ago and doing my best to cover my accent.
Yes I was at a hotel and my black family came inside the pool where this white family was. Wright when we came in they decided to leave next thing we know the manager told us she said we were fighting being loud etc. But little did she know the manager of that hotel was black so he came to talk to us about how racist she was being and he ignored her the whole time she attended there and she is no longer welcome back 😛
Yes, Where I used to work I was hiring a new technician for my department. The HR director told me if I had a minority and he was qualified I had to hire him regardless of whether or not he would be a good fit for the job.
Lol funny it has happened thrice now 😸.
Random girl saying Hi in inbox
Me hello we exchange words they are ok.
Everything is fine now they ask where are you from i say India boom either blocked or ghosted
Yup, as white male I have been discriminated against!!! IKR, even with white privilege and all, WTF is the is the world coming to?
that there's very little actual "racism" and very much of people getting offended on behalf of others or even on behalf of imaginary others that aren't actually real people.
Yes I have. I have never personally been the receptacle of someone else's racist views but I have seen my friends and coworkers have to deal with racist bigots multiple times.
Not really... I don't live in a multicultural / multiracial society... we got a lot of racism based on religion tho.. But I'm not in the minorities, so...
Some friends were not allowed in the club we went to because of their skin color. We went partying somewhere else.
Yes, a number of people in my family are racist and I've had a few black people throw racist "slurs" at me, for no reason at all.
Do much hate against white I would say. Hispanic Latinos attend to be more racist.
Here and there with slurs, but it namely came with stereotypes.
Yes. I’ve been assaulted and spit on by Black people on more than one occasion while they called me a honky and a cracker and a white boy.
So fuck any of you for saying Black people can’t be racist.
My sentiment exactly
It will go largely ignored
because you are white
@Smashingdoozy
yes, few things here and there... nothing so outrageous, I think
I live in Canada. There is little racism here. But whenever I came to US I noticed people are a lot more racist. They are generally unwelcoming and White people think they are superior.
As accidents of daily life, I witnessed two Klan demonstrations.
I'm on the browner scale of white and most of the time I get include in the random checks at the airport. Nothing invasive but always annoying.
