I Am African American

I hate that black people get to make words racist. White people can’t say the infamous N-word because it’s offensive... yet they would let it fall from their own lips.

I hate that there are more and more black kids disrespecting all of the work that the older generation had to go through to get the ‘African American’ race where it is today.

Unfortunately, that’s life.

Small minded people do that. It’s a reflection of who they are, not the race, ethnic group, culture etc. I’m thankful I’ve had the experience to mingle with people from various backgrounds, nationalities and ethnic groups.

No one is allowed to be an individual anymore. You are your identity group, nothing more. Welcome to progressive intersectionality.

A lot of racist attitudes today are fueled by in-your-face stirring of the pot. Most people I've know have no problem whatsoever with others of different races, cultures, ethnicities, etc. It's this constantly being told that everything they say or do is racist and being accused of being racist when they at not. This kind of thing is most prevalent here in the U.S. We will never be totally free of actual true racists, they have always been around throughout human history...however this 'racism' that is supposedly so rampant here would die a natural death and all but disappear in time if it were just left alone and the scabs stop being picked all the time.

“Acting black” or “not black enough” are actually black terms from blacks. I’d be mad too.

You won't receive a fair minded answer here because many whites here aren't fair and broad minded because they lack knowledge about the African American culture.
You won't get an intelligent and interesting discussion from blacks because it's not enough blacks here Similar Worlds.
This thread will sit here for years without enough to blacks respond in to it.

If you are different, people would t want to associate with you, I think it's normal
