There's this boy on the internet that's 14 years old. He's white and I am a
13 year old black boy. We both go to this " Spongebob Forum". It seems that every time I
make a topic about black people he gets all defensive. Like one time I made a topic about
Black History month and how it is viewed as less important at times. He made a post claiming
that I was trying to call all whites racist just because I was mentioning how sometimes Black
history is viewed as less important as white history. The reason I made this topic is because
the Spongebob forum I go to is made up of mostly white kids. When I mentioned black
history they were like " Whats black history". I think everyone should know their history no
matter what but these kids are not really involved in anything that has to do with black
people as far as knowledge goes. I mean the kid that gets defensive says that I am trying to
call him racist even when the topic isn't about him. It just confuses me how anyone can be so
obvious in being so uncomfortable when black people are mentioned.


did someone say black people? im oughta here! i kid! yea, thats a bit strange but
sometimes its what kids here at home they bring into the outside world!
just a thought!

Lol, I always wondered the same thing. And why isn't there like, Straight Pride marches?
I think it's because we honestly don't care. Why would we try to make people celebrate the history of whites when we ourselves don't really care about it that much.
And there is a White Entertainment Television. There's GAC(Great American Country), CMT(Country Music Television), OLN(Outdoor Life Network) and the Outdoor Channel...And Fox News. lol


The guy can feel uncomfortable around black people if he wants to. I know I do. If you don't like it, just stay away from him.


Maybe He should stay away from me. He practically reads my posting history to try to make sure I am not posting anything about black people. Also, a lot of members on the forum are very mature. They have held up good deep discussions involving race before. Everyone is fine with my topics except him. I don't really care if he feels uncomfortable about it. The real problem is that he is harassing me. Maybe I should leave the forums. You do see my point though right? A lot of whites feel that they need to be defensive of themselves when the word " Slavery" comes up because they feel as if they are at guilt. Why would you be uncomfortable around a black person? Unless they are one of those gangster wannabe''s but seriously. It's not like black people constantly try to make whites feel racist. Not all of them anyways. Just be yourself. Don't get so nervous around black people. They are people too.

It has been my experience that a bully can only be a bully if you allow him.....most bullys only want attention and of you stop paying attention to him you take that attention away thus taking his power away.
