I a 24 year old white male that has never had a racist disposition. Many people don't realize the extent of racism that white people have to deal with on a day to day basis.

I drove to a gas station a couple of blocks from work to pick up a drink, and as I got out of my car and began walking to the door, there was a black guy walking torwards the door as well. I opened the door for him and said "Whats up?" to which he replied "What you want it to be?" I was a bit confused so I said "What?" and he again replied, "You said whats up...what you want to be up?"

So I just walked in the store, and he followed me in, standing behind me at the counter. At this point he is walking around, talking about how much he "hates f***ing crackers" and asked me "Do you have a problem with that?" to which I replied "Not at all." He then started going on about how he had no idea why we were on "his f***ing streets" on "his f***ing side of town". The girl behind the counter was also black and you could tell that she was really uncomfortable and I told her that it was ok, and that I could deal with it.

So at this point, I am really wanting to punch this mother f***er in the mouth for being such a f***in a*****e and at the same time, really disturbed and wondering how any person can have such a hatred for someone he doesnt even know. So, I just let him ramble on, got my drink and thanked the girl at the counter and told her to have a nice day.

If I hear one more person say that racism against white people can be justified by treatment of blacks in the past, I'm gonna punch them in f***ing mouth too, because not a goddamn person in this world should be treated any differently from another based on their color, ancestory, or anything else that is out of their control. People should be judged on their actions, and thats about as simple as it gets. My dad was racist when i was a kid, but that didnt stop me from growing up with my own opinions, which in the end, changed my father as well.

In the end, this just really bothered me to the extent that I felt like getting it out and seeing how others felt about situations like this.

Racism is never justified. No matter what "race" does it against what other "race", or whatever any "race" has done to any other "race" in the past.

A racist is someone who doesn't understand the world, and as such an individual at a tremendous disadvantage. A most pitiful creature who is, unwillingly, hillarious whenever attempting to justify his/her stance.

Racism disgusts me, racists make me sad.

Thankfully i have never really had to deal with racism on any basis, i know that it exists in Scotland but i'm pretty rural so it's never been a problem, my kids mix with other kids of all races and they are told to play nicely together, only through the kids will it get better.

I have seen the racism thick and fast. I admit that I was full on racist growing up due to what I grew up around. Anything not derived from the UK peoples was less than.

Well, it is everywhere and those who make excuses for the racism against white suck enormously.

I'm not racist whatsoever but but there is a big double
standard. There is a BET and it's awesome. I think it would
be bad if there was a WET though because it might be
considered racist.

See the thing that annoys me is, Black people can get away with saying racist stuff but as soon as we say it we get shocked looks and everything

I don't like racist comments beign made and I don't like beingn racist it is very rare...it is only when i get incredibly annoyed

You want racism...

The state government of New South Wales(Aust.) is still head hunting anglo's who formed what was a peaceful demonstration...their organisers...throw them into prison.

Yet, none of the Lebanese that beat up whites, shot guns, carried illegal weapons, stabbed white in the back then attacked the women with them(rape)...not one will be charged under the orders of the government.

That, is pure racism and will only incite hatred galore.

Freakowarez i understand completely
When i was a kid at schopol i small skinny and had an unusual Yorkshire accent I got racism from white kids yeahs white on white racism it does existist.
Then some black kids thought they would join in and then it became almost exclusively them vs the skinny white kid I'll repost my wrap song .
But if you read most of my posts i have saying what you wrote for some time in her e iam going to let this be now cause a uber miester had a word with me about this prior but just know that i agree with you 100%

Racism is truly an obstacle to the objective of world peace and I bet you are a peaceful person yourself who probably didn't want to cause any trouble in the first place. I know this might be didfficult for you but just don't get angry. Try to keep a peace of mind and ignore them. Take my advice since I, living in an area where black people are the one of the greatest minorities, have been in your situation more than once. Don't stay angry; simply move on.

Good luck and my condolences for the misfortune.

Two wrongs never make a right.

To justify being wrong (racist towards others) because you experienced a wrong being done to you never works.

Only when the cycle of wrong is broken can we get peace from this curse.

I'm lucky never to experience racism first hand, but one of my friends Lauren has and she has told me some horrible stories, she's Indian/English and use to get taunted and what not for her colouring yet she was born in the same hospital as those people taunting and giving her s***. Why do they do this? It's not like she is any different.

Here in Darwin it's pretty good I may just be ignorant to it all but we are multi-cultural here and people of all races seem to get on a bit better.

I'm sorry that, s*** like that had to happen to you darls, but chin up.

Too true lucky we have to all get along here in Darwin cause we all live together work together sleep together Plus being so close to Asian countries helps also I think we do have a rich cosmopolitan nature to life here in Darwin
