Everyone is racist!?!?!

-3

I’m infuriated!! I can’t even think anymore It’s a terrible and honestly I’m shocked!!

I went to my friend’s boyfriend’s house (it was my friends birthday), we were playing monopoly and his aunt comes in and complemented her new haircut (which yeah that’s great) Only she keeps going and going and over doing it. She would say (I like how healthy looking it is (which is legit) but then she went on to stress “its so siiiiiilllky and shiiiinnnyyyyy and straaiighnt!!” (qualities only people of a specific origin have) occasionally glancing at me to see if I would cry!! , not black people, not only that she didn’t shower that day or brush her hair) THEN her aunt goes on to complement her boyfriends hair! He doesn’t do ANYTHING to his hair and it looks like caveman hair (his words not mine). so my hair isn’t naturally shiny its healthy and long and it’s far from an afro! Her aunt tried to fake and say she “just loves hair” when a true hair-lover loves ALL kind of hair!

I know what you’re thinking (well that doesn’t mean she is racist!) When you can always tell by how they react when they see you have dark skin, and curly hair. They give you a look any black person can notice!!

I used to think people were people and that was that but I was wrong! I didn’t think people in real life could be that way! for no reason!! I used to have adream to help everyone and make them happy but now I feel betrayed! Whenever I see some who has very pale skin my normal thoughts of wanting them to be happy spring up, then they’re shot down in a thought that: “They would want anything to do with you, because you’re a N****r!!”

I don’t understand how and why or what it does to think that way!! I can’t bring myself to be mean why does this happen??

Do you haven similar experiences? Are you racist? Are you heartbroken too? Why do you think this is happening? Will I die before I grow up because of genetics? :’(

As you can see im white and its kinda the same way around for me. My boyfriend is black and weve been together for about 2 years now. I cannot even tell you how many times ive been called out on my race and judged on it. Ive got into fights ive got threatened i get a lot of shit talked about me at school because i like someone a different skin tone as mine.. i hate it. " oh shes trashy because she likes black guys" "shes a snicker licker" I just dont see how people can judge others like that. I wish people would just understand that i love my boyfriend and my friends for who they are. In my opinion i dont think some african americans realize how racist they can be themselves. I understand how they are probably always alert with different races because of the past because thinking about if i was that race i would be too. Everyone has racism in them and unfortunetly we just cannot change that. I have a cousin and her ex husband was black so yaknow they have mixed kids. She told us that her oldest son who is 8 was being made fun of on his team for his color by black women. Ive never really had a problem with black guys judging me as much as i do girls. They dont like the fact i like black guys i guess i dont know. It just upsets me how one thing happens to the black race and they blame it all on white people. Of corse they can call me a cracker or white trash but if i say a joke it suddenly is so offensive. Im noware near racist i love everyone for how they express themselves on the inside. "lightskin girls are the hottest" "white girls are all too skinny" "black girls are too ghetto" "asian girls are just ugly" its so stupid how people have these opinions because none of those sayings are true. Its just put into our brain. Every girl is beautiful and can be beautiful if theyre blue, purple, pale, dark, any color. In time I believe that our younger generation will open up to the problems of this and resolve it. I could go on this topic for days it just makes me upset. I know theres probably people who will look at this with a lot of hate because im calling out black people or white people... or any other race. It doesnt even matter to me. im pro neither. The fact that someone will sit around and bitch at you for being racist or such nonsense like that just shows how insecure they are about themselves and feels like they need to explain it in a negative way. Im sorry that incident happened to you because we should all just accept eachother for who we are. Nobody deserves that type of judgement at all. Hopefully someone understands what im trying to say.. You can always inbox me if you would like to talk further about this. Im not racist, i just dont buy into peoples bullshit.

Even though it sounds like your personal experience was a bit of an overreaction, you did just step into a giant mess of social prejudice dating back centuries. There's many things in this world that we can describe as being "just is". You can't go back in time and change the Slavery Society of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. The only thing you can do is teach your current generation and the upcoming ones to not fall into the hate, since hating is easy for Humans. We hate that which is different, and unfortunately Caucasians and Blacks just have vastly differing subcultures and cemented stereotypes. And no one is without sin in this world. Everyone's dabbled in the racism at least once, even I have. You can't help it. It just is because of this Society. And you know people have legitimate reasons to hold onto these fears and stereotypes. Just look at recent events. An unarmed black teenager who committed burglary was shot and killed by a white cop and suddenly there's mass race riots in the streets.

Hi. Im sorry you've been through something like this.. I dont want to say a person who likes long silky hair would be a racist necessarily, but I'm sure that must be really tough to live with all the time. I only wanted to say, Im white and I wouldnt judge you at all. you don't have to be afraid of everybody treating you bad like that, some people do understand (like many people here) so if you ever want someone friendly to talk to, feel free to message me
