Like I said there kiddo... my first wife was Mexican. So my two kids are half-Latino/half-white.Hahaha.....Okay, I think you did that on purpose.....Do you correct black people when they say "white people"?When you have to say "Black people" and not just "people" you are a racistI grew up in Southern Indiana. Being born in 1965, the number of black people within 50 miles could be counted on one hand.
Not because they couldn't, but just like most rural areas in the Northern states...when blacks migrated here they didn't go to small towns.
The first black family I saw I was in junior high. There is a GM plant there, and some families out of NY and Detroit moved there when their plants closed. One of those families moved in our neighborhood. And started going to our church. As far as I knew, they had no issues here. I absolutely remember them being welcomed into the church. They had two children, one was a boy who was the same age as my middle brother. They became friends and he was at our house over the next several years 100's of times.
Then in high school a few more familes moved here and one boy fell into my group of friends and hung out till graduation.
Then we lived in a college town (Bloomington, IN) and there are of course significantly higher number of blacks there. To this day I have never once had a problem with any of them. Worked with them, friends with several of them... been to a few weddings..etc. etc. Black people here don't act any different than anyone else. And the crime committed by them are probably no higher/lower than other races here.
BUT... drive 45 minutes north to Indianapolis.... Whole - Other - Story. Drive 2 hours south to Louisville...same..2 and a half hours east to Cincy - same. In my book, according to 55 years of living - there are two sets of blacks in America. Inner-city blacks, and suburban blacks.
I have known suburban blacks most of my life, and I don't feel any different with them than any other race. PERIOD. Inner city blacks? Stay the fuck away from me. I want no part of you. When my two kids went to IUPUI Medical School in Indy... I made sure every apartment they lived in - there was as few blacks as possible. That was pretty much the only stipulation I had. And it cost a lot more for them to live there, but so be it.
My absolute attitude towards black people are no different than anyone else... give me no reason not to like you... I am fine with you. In all things. Give me a reason not to like you - bye. Just like anyone else.
But if I am in a major city and I see you with pants hanging down to your knees, a gold grill in your mouth hanging out with like individuals I am going to be sure I am not around you. I don't trust you. And the crime rates committed by them backs up my attitude 110%.
You don't deserve the free shit you get, you are a piece of garbage because you don't raise your children, you don't work and it is highly likely what money you have to buy those air Jordan shoes was not legal. And your girlfriends walking with you are loud as hell, rude, obnoxious and cuss like a drunken sailor. I have no respect for you. No time for you.
And guess what? The same goes for the shitty white trash around here as well. The meth heads, the moped/scooter riding drunken losers - they are white. I have no time for them either.
Both don't deserve what they have, let alone more from my tax dollars.
No, right?
I didn't correct anyone here.
I don't correct anyone anywhere.
I do what I do and that is to never specify the skin color of a person because skin color is irrelevant.
I don't say Jimi Hendrix was the greatest Black guitarist of all time I simply say Jimi was the greatest guitarist of all time.
Just like i don't say Eric Clapton is the greatest white guitar player but rather I say he was the second best guitar player of all time.
What does skin color matter?
If people really want to end racism then people will not label another person by the color of his skin.
How am I supposed to stay on topic with you throwing out inflammatory shit like that to deflect?
Jimi was damn good, but Slow Hand is way better, IMO.Awww... oh how cute.Oh... the whole "I don't see color" routine?Do you correct black people when they say "white people"?When you have to say "Black people" and not just "people" you are a racistI grew up in Southern Indiana.

Good lord...
"See how awesome I am people??... I am helping fight racism by not calling black people black"... I deserve a GOLD STAR!!"
Look Fuckstick.
My mother was a light skinned biracial woman. She lived her entire life with people telling her she was too black to be white and too white to be black.
I got that very same shit from my peers in the city where I grew up.
I decided not to judge people by their skin color because I was judged by both blacks and whites.
You were teased and judged as a kid....awww.... poor thing.
No one else here was ever teased as a kid for something.... you really do deserve a gold star
![]()
Fuck off
And I didn't say teased.
You will never understand what it's liked to have your worth judged by the color of your skin.
I was fortunate enough to have people from 2 different races judge my worth by my skin color and it has given me what is an uncommon perspective.
But an inflexible thinker like you wouldn't get it anyways.
"I don't know what it is like to be judged by color of skin..."
Of course I do. Being judged by color of skin is no different that many other things people judge you for.
And if yuo expect me to believe you were racially profiled for being 1/4 something.... I don't
Where did I say profiled ?
I said judged. Judged by adults in my community, judged by my peers.
Too Black to be white and too white to be Black
You don't get it because you haven't experienced it.
There skin is also darker than whites, but not quite as dark as full blooded Mexican. Her family lives in Aguascalientes, deep enough into Mexico there is not near as much mixing with whites as border Mexicans.
Anyway... there was never a time where either of my kids or even my wife was mistreated in any way. Not once.
So that is why I don't believe you.
