This thread might get motherfucking long.

So I'm guessing a rather large number of people nowadays can easily stereotype black people as rap lovin', booty-adoring, unnecessarily aggressive, trash-talkin', gangsta-worshipping, racially charged beings.

Maybe you see black people with all, some, none, or possibly more of those characteristics I listed.

Just wanted to say, not all of us are like that.  I'm black..and frankly, I think a lot of our stereotypes are..fucking disgusting. And the sad thing is, some black people will actually support stereotypes.

I once got called a white-lover because I don't talk black. I got called stupid because I don't enjoy most rap nowadays. Even if I listened to rap, it certainly isn't that 50 cent or lil wayne bullshit.  I got told that I'm not black because I don't give a damn when white people say the word nigga.

Thats pretty fucking shameful, to be quite honest. To have your race defined by people within your race by the dumbest standards ever. Well hey, at least I can eat watermelon and fried chicken with a smile on my face, right?

Few months ago. I had a friend. She's white. She calls me nigga for fun, but I don't generally use the word unless I'm joking/quoting the Boondocks. So she says "Whats up mah nyuggaaa" and stuff like that. A black girl hears her. The girl goes CRAZY on my friend, calling her a racist white bitch, and almost to the point of fighting her. I intervene and explain to her that she's my friend, and thats just how we joke.

The girl simply won't listen. She then turns on me asking what kind of a black person lets a white person say nigga like that.

Okay. To me, nigga is just a word. Whatever person of whatever race saying nigga really doesn't matter to me. What I don't get is, why do some black people get so offended when a white person says nigga?

Is it because of the past and slavery? Thats one thing, but its in the PAST meaning we should've gotten over it. A long ass time ago. I once got a comment from a girl saying white people didn't experience the pain of black people and slavery.

Ha. Ha. Neither did you. Your ancestors experienced the pain. YOU didn't. That gives you no right to use the past as an excuse.

Besides that, I also wonder why white people are so easily accused of racism. Yeah, there's the KKK and there's the racist past, but who gives a fuck about the KKK nowadays? They suck, period. And the past is the past. When you see a black person saying "BLACK POWER!" its okay.

"WHITE POWER!" Oh fuck, STRAIGHT UP RACIST >;O

I hope no one takes offense to this statement, but I find it very hypocritical when some black people accuse white people of racism for THE dumbest reason. You can accuse an innocent white person of racism, but in reality, you're being rather racist. You see, you're being racially biased towards someone for their skin color. And what past generations have tried and in many cases successfully overcame, you're digging it right back out of its grave by causing racial issues and using the past which you never experienced, as an excuse.

Thats pretty disrespectful your ancestors, IMO ;P

Of course there are some cases where a white person, or hell, any race may be flat out racist. Fucking ignore it. Skin color shouldn't matter.

We bleed the same color. So how does skin tone and features cause so much conflict?

You can find a lot of straight up ignorant racists whites on this forum. That doesn't mean they are all like that though. I call white people cracker because it's funny xD. Actually I call them Salted crackers but it's just a word like you say. I agree with you, there are exceptions though as far as this forums goes.

Agree with you I'm multi racial and I get picked on disrespectfully because of my race and things like that I just ignore it but still some black people get over excited acting like its their word when lots of people from different races use it, none the less I think some blacks use slavery as an excuse to think they are better than some one I've heard black person say every race evolved from black um no if that was the case god would have never created different culture that's like saying japanese people evolved from blacks some people need an education and learn to think before they speak getting mad like that for no reason she needs help and seriously I would mash her face in a pile of shit
