 Topic: Is It Wrong
Posted: Nov 06 2012 at 7:34pm |
To say “I believe Black people have a genuine reason to be racist towards White people, if thats what they want to do”?
What about “I think Native Americans have a valid reason to be racist towards White people, if thats how they really feel”?
Is it wrong to say? Do you find this offensive, and would you if you were White?

I dont think it's wrong per se. However, with lack of power, both politically and economically, I think overt discrimination on our part is counterproductive...

I'm not sure if I totally understand your question.
We all can believe what we wanna believe and also I realized that blacks and other minorities cannot be racist because we are not looked at as superior to other races. We can be prejudiced but racist no...
And I don't think about being white just like they never think about if they were a negro.

The answer to these questions are in all the real history books.
I used to wonder how I would see the world if I was white but the only way to know how I would feel is if I was actually white. For some reason I imagined moldy clothes, dirty feet, and brown-hued white shirts while contemplating this.
I really need to get this hate outta my heart...

The reason I ask this is because one of my friends tweeted
"Why is it ok for Black people to be racist towards white people? Racism is Racism.”
I responded saying “Maybe they have a valid reason to feel that way. I actually believe Black people have a genuine reason to be racist towards White people, if thats what they want to do. Im not racist, Im just aware of history. #PointBlank.”
& So many people jumped down my throat as if what I said was 100% wrong. But when I said "Would people be tweeting me if I said Native Americans have a valid reason to be racist towards White people?”, everyone got quiet.
I dont get the difference.
