Well thank you my fellow NT brethren for making this thread a success.
I've read all the posts and all I can do is

at what has happened to you guys.
I want to make a shirt that says Guess what race I am?
Then on the back it says Human race.
With a picture of people from all over the world chanting "We are the human race."
A man can only dream.

Me and two of my friends were on our way From San Antonio to Lubbock to Vegas....and in between going from this small town Eden to Lubbock, we were stopped by cops twice for going 2MPH over the speed limit, both times they asked to search our bags in the car and both times we said No...then both times they made us all get out of the car and stand by the curb while they called for the drug dogs to come and sniff the car and our bags (about a 30-45 min wait)....Both of those times happened about 45 mins to an hour apart

Oh, so any dark skinned black dude looks like someone who would rob someone?

I give you a pass for your ignorance, you're only 19.  But you basically did the same exact thing that Asian woman did, brah.


My sentiments exactly. I read that last line scratching my head.

My man your a Mediterranean dude that finds it amusing to ask Africans if they rode lions back in Africa. Your right, that isn't racist at all.
Me seeing a lion in Africa is the equivalent of an American seeing and riding grizzlies and cougars.

You will be shaking until it falls off, because they cannot, then do not. They are effected by the reality of racism, backlash, but do not suffer at the hands of racism.

Just answer these privately, or even here if you like. Since this is a male dominated society, can a man suffer from sexism, just as a woman can?

If a woman is angry by the way men treat women in a sexist society, then is confrontational about not being treated equal, does this make her a sexist?
If she feels that men have an unfair advantage, even if they are not qualified to have that advantage, does this make her a sexist?
If a woman then decides to not trust in a male dominated society in regard to her getting her just due, being well qualified to do anything she wants just as any man can, does this make her a sexist?

Supplant Woman with Black people, and Male with White people, you then will have your answer.

This is the sole reason that Right Wing Republicans came up with the term reverse racist. They realized that Black people are not qualified to be called racists, because racism was created to keep White people in power, not Black people. They then began calling entitlement programs reverse racist, due to White people being excluded, but only in intent. 

As we do know, White women have benefited from programs such as Affirmative Action, more so than any other minority, including those that it was intended to help.

Ive had the same issues most of us have gone through, nothing I didnt ignore.

At my current job ive had two occasions of an old caucasian female be racist because im hispanic.

One of them spoke under hear breathe saying "what am I speaking spanish?, you dont understand?" knowing what she had said I asked her what was that? she obviously didnt repeat it and put her head down.

I cant stoop to peoples level especially white people that dont know how to act but next time that happends im kicking them out of my store and not giving them any service.

This thread is proof of just how arbitrary and manufactured the concept of race is.
