My teen step daughter was not prejudiced...

[annemayer]

I'm thinking it may not be your new location thats making your step daughter prejudiced.

I agree,nomoney. Fortunately for me,I don't have to make a generalization about her child. She just plain trash. Oh,I'm sorry-stepchild. Hubby didn't want to take a dip in your gene pool,perhaps? You started this thread and offered your family up for debate and acted like you had no clue why she is the way she is. All it took was a few comments to bring out what some of us saw all along. It starts at home,yours to be exact. Congrats-you got me riled enough to respond by insulting my family,but the difference here is you have shown yourself for what you are in the process. Now leave me alone - dis be da first of tha month. Thas a holiday for us po welfare mamas.

Just to reinforce your point about generalizations, with your sudden disclosure that you are white and have a 1/2 black child from what amounts to a "baby daddy," I must admit that I suddenly picture you as being overweight, speaking with a dialect, wearing very big earrings, and possibly being on some kind of public assistance or possibly working for the government. I'm just being honest about my generalizations to show how deep-rooted they are and how difficult they are to get rid of, and am not trying to cast insults.

Self righteous indignation and intentional self-martyrdom.


Nuff said.

By the way,I'm not going to sit around and go back and forth about this,it's pointless,

!!_! Wow, didn't take long to come back did it?

 

[nomoney]

I can see I hit the nail right on the head.

why did you delete your post?

St. Mary's is as pure as the wind driven snow....
My very lily white pale skinned red heads go to: GASP Great Mills HS.
This is an example of parenting: If either of them came home calling anybody racial slurs they would deal with me first. I don't care what their friends
call others, this is an example of what you just don't do. I won't tolerate it. GMHS, believe it or not, is one of the best places in SoMD to get an education in racism.
Tolerance of others happens every day. I see it when the kids come out after school. I see it during sporting events on and off the field. I see it in the hallways.
How does this happen? Simple, racial BS is just not tolerated.

Racism is a learned trait taught and tolerated at home. Then encouraged by peers.

I don't think there has ever been a post I have agreed with more!

I think jokes about race are the best way to combat racism. :shrug: The joke about the million man march and a nascar race cracked me up. Most of my friends of different races appreciate that I don't tiptoe around them or try to "ignore" the fact that they come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds..because i may hurt their precious feelings. My friends are realer, and cooler than that. i don't use nasty names, because they are hurtful and just not funny..but I have NO problem laughing my ass off when my roomate who was asian couldn't make rice. It was funny. We laughed. And no one calls anyone cracker anymore. Thats dumb. in high school my race was pointed out to me on several occasions. In general..it was the word "white" in front of some other name (ie white #####, raggedy white #####, etc etc). I didn't do it back, because frankly I am more clever than that and I can find a lot funnier things to make fun of then someone's race. like the time I told a chick who pushed me in the hall and called me a white ##### like it was my fault, that perhaps she was blind if she couldn't see me glowing in the flourescent light, and that's probably why she choose to wear orange and purple like they go together. People laughed and she said whatever white #####..and I won. Easy enough.

basically if my child said something so ignorant and I would hope she wouldn't because she should know I dont like that..but if she did..I would simply make her go to lunch with me and one of my friends from another race. Ignorant people should feel guilty when confronted with someone who doesn't fit their stereotype. Then I would ask her to repeat what she said to me.

Something tells me Hazy Cloud doesn't have any friends of another race. I have a feeling his stepdaughter's problem starts at home.

does not having friends of a different race make one a racist?
is that all it takes?

Of course not..but to live in such a wonderfully diverse place..filled with educated, intelligent people from all over the country...and NOT have friends of different races, does strike me as a little strange :shrug:

 

[n0n1m0us3]

dang, y`all still beechin bout this??? Gawd (GAL) y nawt.

Are you kidding? Of course the #####in continues, what else would people do? Work?

So since I basically go to work, where there are no black people in my office, then come home, where I dont have neighbors, white or black, and my area is way majority white (not that blacks are not welcome, they just dont move there)

the occassional school thing at my daughters school where there are basically no black parents that get involved,

My church has 1 black family that Ive never actually never spoken to outside of the normal good morning and such, much like the majority of the white people there,

and most of my friends are people that camp, either from southern maryland or up around this way and they all just happen to be white because camping is for some reason not generally something engaged in by blacks,,, this makes me a racist?

Should I go out of my way to be friends with a black family somehow so I can be whole?
Guess what, I dont have any Chinese friends either,, I do however have a couple of jewish friends.

Another thread about how everyone is so accepting and perfect. No one has ever made a racial comment, thought or even notices the color of anyone's skin. Clearly racism is over.
Now, let's wait for the thread about some young black kid who robbed a store and we'll see where that thread goes!

 

[hvp05]

Big words from someone who rarely leaves a trace of their presence. Why are you prejudiced against MMDad?

Quick, delete this like the scared little boy you are.

So, are you still scared to tell people where I am? Come on, coward, do it!

Of course you won't because you are scared, and you need to get back to the important task of eating paint chips.

 

[MMDad]

Quick, delete this you flaming coward.

You sure do talk a lot, but never do anything to back it up. What a waste of air you are little boy.

Yep, you would make a little plop when you get splatted. Little cowardly POS. Good thing for you - you don't have far to fall since you are already at the bottom.

Very well thought out. However...
When my black neighbor walks out and talks to me (white) about people hanging out, making a racket late at night, what do you think we ask?
Right after age, physical descriptions is: White or black?
Is this racism? Hardly. It's called a description.
If your attitude is that things like skin color, are not noticed, then you are really blind - not color blind. Find a country where race is not noticed.
The end of racism will come when nobody makes a conscious decision to slander or favor anybody: white, black, brown or anything in between. However I will bet that skin color will always be noticed.
Star Trek is a TV show.

ima white boy, so u figger.

What, now you don't like me because I'm not white? What's a "figger?" Are you trying to get around the filters to use the N word?

Bring it on little boy. You pretend you know where I am - prove it.

You were much better in your TV show, Lancelot Link Secret Chump.

You: plop

You're following orders very well today, deleting your blather exactly as I order to you. You must be running scared.
