It absoulutely drives me crazy when people are describing someone and then they say not trying to be racist!

Like lemme give yoy an example.

Boy(White): Hey that black girlove rthere needs to shut the fuck up!

Boy 2(Black):Yeah Deff.

Boy(White): But not trying to be racist.

WTF?! You're just describing someone I hate it when people have to try to beso damn politically correct all the time..No one is should ever be that easily offended.

The initial statement wasn't even racist, I don't know why he felt the need to say that.

If anyone said that in conversation to any of the black guys around here. They would be on the ground covered in blood. Some times people get defensive because you "color" labeled the girl.

There's also the double standard. If you replaced black with white nothing would happen. However, with black being there and you didn't say the "i'm not trying to be racist". I can bet you that you're gonna get beat up in the near future.

its not his fault, its the people who do get upset with him for those things who are at fault. i agree, however white people feel are made to feel so horibble about themselves by other minorities that they cnat be proud of thier ethnicity and some people i even know hate themselves for thier color, (or lack thereoff)

Whites are afraid to be called racist.


It's, apparently, worse than being a serial killer.

It seems to be a good habit to have to say "not trying to be racist" in case some defensive fucker wants a showdown.

I think it's ridiculous too.


-- Posted by jakelong at 8:49 pm on Nov. 21, 2008

Yeah

when ppl saying "not trying to racist but..." its a dead giveaway he's going to make some stupid stereotype based on race.
