When minorities want to free themselves from the oppressive(yet monetarily advantageous) policies, then people will start respecting minorities and racism can slowly subside.

rmolin73;1081024 wrote:Another failure on your part I see. No where and I repeat no where in that study does it link blatant racist actions to affirmative action. Nor does it refute my statement that the vast majority of hs kids aren't thinking about aa. Keep trying though you might luck out.

1. While in hs, my buddies and I would walk across the street to this arcade/pizza joint for lunch (before we could drive). There were a few kids there that graduated a few years prior and still lived at home and had no jobs. For about 2 weeks straight, this one guy called me everything in the book; a new one each day (Black, Mexican, Middle Eastern...). I finally got pissed one day and went off on him about making up his mind; said something to the effect that once he decides, I'll mold myself to the stereotype and reminded him that "******s carry guns and Spics carry knives, so choose wisely". He never said another word to me.

2. When my wife and I first started dating, she told me she was afraid to introduce me to her dad because of how he had acted in the past in general to minorities. This was almost 5 years ago, and we didn't know I was black at the time.

3. This one still bugs me. Two years ago, I found my biological father (left when my mom was prego). Turns out he's black. I grew up thinking I was Italian and Native American(Native American is true) because my mom wanted to protect me in my small farm town where there was only 3 black people out of about 5,000. This part, while troubling, I can understand. However, my wife made the comment "I wish I would have known you were black before we got married." We've been married for 2 1/2 years. I still don't know what she means, but it still bothers me. I might have to ask her about it.

4. My wife now does the hiring for aids at her place of employment. She hired a few "black girls from Detroit" as she put it (I think 4-5 in the last 6 months). Each one has been fired because of dress code, hygiene, bad work, or a mix of the 3. Now, she says she won't hire "one of them (black girls from Detroit) again because they're ghetto and bad workers. So, if they sound ghetto (Shanequa for example), she'll toss their resume aside. She always does a ghetto black girl voice when talking to me about their interviews. I don't know if this can be called racism or not. She's experienced enough of a similar background of people to not hire someone similar again. Also, she says it's usually because they either A. Call 5 times a day about an interview or B. Look like **** when they do come in (dirty, messy....)

After typing this, I'm actually really bothered about my wife. She always makes jokes about me being black (all in good fun; never hurtful or intended to be anyway), but I've realized a pattern. She said she was worried when we finally have kids because of the threat of "nappy hair." I'm only 1/2 black, and my hair is just really thick and doesn't have that coarse, wirery feel to it, so it's odd she would make that statement. I need to do some soul searching...

Orrrrr I was just predicting that a bunch of white dudes were gonna come in here and claim racism and no where did I say that racism against white people is non-existent.

Fortunately my wife is pretty cool with everything. Of course, she has know my heritage as long as she has known me. Like you though my features could be confused with several different ethnic origins (people tell me I look a lot like A-Rod's older brother).

I do recall a few people back in the day do a double take when they saw my dad or uncle, but I never heard any comments made about it.

Sounds like you and the Mrs. need a serious heart to heart

They elected Obama to fix this issue, but he is too busy fixing the economy Bush left us and doesn't have time to allow black people to experience their full potential.

It happens . you better believe it . You can go to a bar with all black people and hear hunky under someones breath . or be not waited on in the same manner . I have plenty of black friends through my life and have gone to plenty of mostly black bars and seen it happen and have had it happen . 99% of the time people are cool ,but dont dismiss it . you get morons of all walks of life . I dont put up with the chit . When I was in the Army in boot I saw how twisted different people were . I had 2 black drills and a black CO . It was totally reverse racism . I came home and was getting into all kinds of fights .
All the white guys seemed to be from rural America in boot .In Steubenville I had alot of black friends and white friends . Most places are either all white or all black . I saw that first hand . I also think growing up where I did gave me a much better understanding on people
