So, I got called nigger today. Again.
If I can get through ONE year of my life where that’s not the go to word for someone, it would be a stellar year...
I am sorry. I am so sick of these assholes. I was never that naive to think that when Obama was elected, as a country we were “post racial” but the level is frightening. They are getting bolder.
That might be because the king of racist is in the white house
Really sorry that happened. I don't know what is wrong with people that they can't just love their fellow man without making judgments. I grew up in Texas in a very racist household. I knew deep down that it wasn't right and as soon as I was on my own I dismissed all of that conditioning from my head. People say it's the way they were raised...that's just an excuse...it's a mindset and one makes a free choice to believe the way they do.
I'm sorry that you have to deal with such ignorance.
I am sorry to hear this. I like to hope progress continues. Evidence is sparse though.
I'm so sorry. Not all ignorance is religious in nature.
I'm sorry. That makes me feel sad for you. Unfortunately, racism seems to be coming out into the open more and more, thanks to poor leadership in a number of countries, not just the USA. We just have to fight back and educate our children and grandchildren and friends and neighbours. The violent response suggested by some people here is not the answer.
Sorry that happened. Some people are just fn asses.
I don't have any idea how difficult it is to be a black man, in this skidding backward country.
I've met some people, (well off, usually) who decided I was (pick your insult) for being poorer, less 'classy', my clothes, car, weight... They make certain you know they're "better" nope
Anyway, that turned into a tangent, gawd.
Any of those judgemental idiots don't deserve consideration.
Again, I apologize for those worthless crumbs. (You may say I don't need to, but I like to, cause if any of them see this, it'll p*** em off!
Sorry you have to put up with that. It's a bit better in the UK because we're very up on reporting that stuff and getting prosecutions - yes, even for "just" calling people names. My son, who is half Nigerian has of course had some trouble, and got some satisfaction. But when he joined the police, he found out an interesting fact - that while it's against the law to be racist outside of a police cell, once inside the law doesn't apply, so people can call you whatever you like and get away with it. He did, however, once get a compensation cheque for a man he arrested outside & let out a barrage of racist insults - it was for the grand sum of £25. He framed it.
