And why, why, does someone who feels victimized have to be told to shutup and take it. Stop being sensitive. Why not look at the person that spoke words they shouldn't have said.
Dude, don't let this go by man.Dude KNEW what he was saying.

i feel like some of you want to be racially profiled and look for ways to call something racist.
and you dont know if he was being racist why couldnt you man up and ask for yourself why he asked if it really bothers you so bad to post it on NT
It depends on whether he was intentionally trying to be racist or whether he did so unintentionally. Neither case is acceptable, but how the situation should be approached is different in each scenario.Originally Posted by DAYTONA 5000

And you guys wonder why they continue to perpetuate black racial stereotypes in the media. You laugh at the little slick stuff they do and just brush it off like, "Oh nah, they didn't mean anything." You passive !$$ people are the reason why they feel comfortable coming out of their mouth with these slick remarks.
when did i say to cause a scene. asking a question causes no scene unless you make itOriginally Posted by KayCurrency

I always ask other black guys if they shoot ball. Why? B/c I know that's something that most of us do.
If a tall, athletic guy of any other race would've gotten the same treatment, it would be "oh he just looks like he plays ball". But when a black guy looks like he plays ball, its a problem?
Should he have said it? No. Is it an issue? Imo No.
if you were really offended then you would've said something.

i'm the only brother at my current school.. so yeah.
me: i'm hungry
people: you want some fried chicken and watermelon?
i wear grey, brown or black.
Sounds like they don't respect you son. I guarantee they're not that wreckless w/ other blacks.
people: whoa, where'd you go?
you name it, i've heard it. people stay dropping n-bombs like it's cool or something. I let a lot of it slide but damn these little hipsters use hella stereotypes when talking/dealing with me.
i say hello, how are you.. And they still come at me with some "WHADUP YO YO YO YO" bs.
I'm from atlanta, born and raised so I'm use to a certain level of arrogance/ignorance..
norcal.. what's really good with the hospitality?
