Racism goes both ways (and every way in between)

Sorry but I believe this is a troll post.

I agree!

Wait....I can get out of paying my speeding ticket if I am white, otherwise it's racism?? Wish I knew this when I got caught going 75 in a school zone. Darn.

Poor Michael Brown-thug got shot for being a thug-just happened to be black.

Poor Eric Garner-should not have resisted arrest-he'd be alive today.

Poor OJ-well not really-likely got off for murdering his wife because he was rich...and black!

Not a troll-believe what you want. I wish all of you folks could spend a year or two living in SE, and being a white minority-then you might "get it". I do feel sorry for many bklacks and agree that racism does exist-but they are not the only victimized group in this country. They are not just innocent's immune to being racist either!

I was bullied, called names and beat up onanalmost daily basis. I went to college and grad school and chose a career helping underprivileged families and children in those very same neighborhoods. I have worked in agencies that have been majority Black-and yes-I have faced additional dicrimination due to my skin color. Hostile looks, nasty remarks, blatant disrespectful talk about White people in front of my face. Do NOT try to tell me it does not exist because I am one white person who lived it. It may be very easy for most of you who likely grew up in insulated, suburban white neighborhoods with and among the priviledged. Its easy to sit in a Bethesda and Chevy Chase MD/DC McMansions and spew all your liberal bullshit-why don't you try something-move to PG County (Lanham or Capitol Heights seem nice) or SE and send your kids to a local school (c'mon y'all can afford it). Try that and live it-then come back and inform us all what you have learned. (Oh and please forgive any spelling and/or grammatical errors as the foundation of my education pretty much sucked cause it was no W school-though I did manage to graduate from a top teir college!)

Oh OP, you had me until this post here. If you really experienced all of the above, then why post your lame story about having to pay your speeding ticket as your horrible racist story? Yep, you're a troll. Goodbye.

You are victimized for having to pay your speeding ticket? A speeding ticket because you were indeed speeding? That's victimization? Wow, just wow.

NO-I was PROFILED for being white-and treated differently because I am white-the blacks got "off the hook" for the same behavior that I did not get "off the hook" for. That was the point. Is that not what black folks complain about on a daily basis????? Getting treated like shit in school by black students for being white is another issue-I do think however, that the handful of black kids that go to Somerset, Pyle or Whitman are not treated the way I was treated in school simply because they are of a different skin color than the majority.

I can give you a ton of stories-just picked this one. Hundreds more if you'd like. Not that I really like to revisit that "dark" time in my life though! (and I did put it out there on another thread).

Let's see, you were profiled: so, you were not speeding? You were given a ticket because you are white? Not because you were speeding? You think you deserve to get "off the hook?" Why? You were speeding.

I agree!

I was summosed to court at 9am (or 9:30)_-got there about 15 minutes early (point was I did not walk in late)-was ina room with an arbitrator (not a judge) and 25-30 black people who also got tickets for various traffic violations (almost all of which were speed camera violations). I sat through every one of their cases while I waited to be called. I was called last so sat through every case. I followed and listened and witnessed the interactions. Call troll if you want-I know what happened. Sad that you live in a such a small bubble and cannot see anything outside of it.

Going to an all black school was the DARK experience idiot! Why dont you send you precious snowflakes to an all black school in PG county ans see how fun it is for them. Of course that is unfathomable to you as they are likely in a W or private school. You likely never ventured too far from your white upper class suburban hood have you?
