[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Black people,

Does this happen to you all regularly? I am shocked to see this. Never thought that any woman would cheapen herself like this.  The last 4 years in this country has been eye-opening for me and the world.

Yes, stuff like this happens, although luckily nothing super blatant like this has happened to me (I'm a woman, though).  However, less dramatic incidents has happened to people I know--for example, my brother tried to make a return at a store and was accused of stealing.  That sort of stuff is relatively minor, but [b]the stress effect is cumulative. [/b] Anyway, this stuff doesn't surprise us.

And you wonder why so many black men have high blood pressure, racism affects your mental and subsequently, your physical health.[/quote]

Yes, things like this happen often and they always have. Black people and other people of color have always experienced America as racist. I would suggest you do a bit of reading about the Black experience in America. Until relatively recently most white people have denied that racism is a common, systemic, and deeply ingrained part of the American experience. There has always been justification and explanation that these were isolated incidents. Even now, as evident from this thread, many white and privileged people feel compelled to undergo all manner of mental gymnastics to manufacture a motive besides racism for this person’s actions.

Black women too.  Yes, this type of stuff happens all the time.  When I was in high school, I had a tech internship.  When my office mate found out I was half Asian she said, “oh that explains it.”  This is just on example among hundreds, probably.[/quote][/quote]
