Sammy Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Noone is against you and noone was ignoring your post. You only just posted it! I am sure meme was offended by being accused of being racist when nothing was said that would indicate he was, and now you are accusing everyone else of being racist because they didn't respond to you fast enough. It's not only black people that suffer from racism, everyone of every colour and ethnic group suffers racism. However I have not seen anyone on this forum be racist to anyone else, if you have seen that then please post it here as it would be seen as very serious if that were the case.

Brokenangel Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I try hard to be clear. When people only see a skin they are blind and it is great shame for family and friend. Do not worry or be ill for any time thinking a black is smelly. I am being called names and pray for the ones who dis it.Narinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have never called a person a name because of the colour of their skin, and never will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missfit Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I haven't seen any racism & agree with Sammy's above post, people of all colours can have racism directed toward them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Ok I can understand that, but of course meme can not help that he feels uncomfortable around his t. I think I need to look up the definition of a racist, because I've always thought it was someone that incites hatred of a particular race or colour, not someone who simply feels uncomfortable around a person of a different race or colour.My social worker is black, my dentist is indian as is my psychiatrist and my old gp was also indian. I feel totally comfortable around all of them. In fact I have recieved more care and consideration from these people than any others I have seen before. Whether it is because of their culture or ethics I don't know, but they seem to care more about me and spend more time digging deeper into things. That being said I don't expect everyone to feel the same way that I do.If someone has not spent much time around other cultures and ethnic groups, would it not be normal to feel out of your comfort zone to begin with? Perhaps it is easier for me because I grew up around people from various different backgrounds and cultures? I was not defending him because he is my friend, I do my best to stay impartial.

Missfit Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 How many of us girls feel uncomfortable around men sue to bad experiences but have male friends or Dr's etc? That's not being sexist, it's a feeling that isn't acted upon & IMO it's the same as this 'racism' thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Wolf Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 No one that I have talked to on this site (I admit I haven't read every single thing) has ever acted racist towards any of the members. Until now that is.I know I'll probably get people angry with me, but here's a question. When you accuse people of being racist towards you, is that them being racist or is it you? I've gotten jumped on like that before, accused of racism just for being white. Not because of anything I've said or done or even thought, but because they were paranoid and I happen to be a different skin colour. To me, it sounds like that is what you are doing now to meme and other people.So who's the real racist here?Sorry. I'm not going to go along with this charade. I have no problem with other colours in the human race. Although I admit that maybe I'm just being triggered by memories of facing racism myself. What I have described above and other things. Yes, white people face racism too. It's ignored and sometimes encouraged (where I am, at least), but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I am sure there must be. I think I remember someone mentioning it before but it was a long time ago so can't recall who it was. Also, skin colour aside there are people here from different countries too, although yes the vast majority are from England. But there are people from Germany, South Africa, America, Canada and Australia that I personally know of, and could be more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
