[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP got caught speeding and had to pay her ticket. She has suffered horrific racism and she is still not over it nine years later. Please send her your thoughts and prayers. [/quote]

Every black person in that room should have been made to pay their traffic violation too-or was the spped camera wrong for all the black people?   Oprah once stated in an interview that she was in a store and wanted to see a very expensive purse.  The clerk told her that it was way too expensive and showed her other purses.  Was it because Oprah was black?  or wasit because the clerk felt the purse was overpriced?  or was it because they thought not too many people could afford that purse (this took place in another country so the clerk did  not know Oprah's net worth).  Just as discrimination takes place every day against blacks, it takes place too against whites, Native Americans, Latino's, Asians, Italians, Jews, Gays, Women, Poor people and every one else.  Blacks just seem to get a free pass to pull their card every single time.  There is a problem with that for both the "victim" and the so called victimizer.[/quote]

[b]Hold on....OP is a victim for having to pay her ticket? For admittedly speeding? She is not a victim. There are true victims of racism who should be appalled by OP. Give me a break. [/quote]
Not on DCUM. Still waiting for specific personal experiences, losing hope.[/quote][/b]

OP here-how about having 10 little black kids take turns kicking your legs on a school trip in 3rd grade calling you Honky and Cracker while doing so, a trip you so looked foward to but was ruined by them?  how about being a professional adult working in a so called professioal institution and having your black adult co-worker heating up some grilled corn on the cob and then telling the black director that white people never eat grilled corn and proceeding to imitate a white person, in an Elmer Fudd type voice saying "what the hell is this duh...Iv'e never see corn made like this"-laughing along with the black co-workers and black director all the while the few white folks look on in incredulity, surprise and horror (of course any complaints about this and similar antics were ignored by the black run greivance/HR department-as were the sexual harrassment complaints made on a separate occasion about the Black director of that same instition).  How about being innocently asked by a black teen if you have horns on your head cause you are white (I forgive the kid as they are just a kid-but who the hell taught them such a thing?) they truly believed that "all white people had horns cause they were the devil".  How about when you are in a store and smile at a black person in passing-as you would smile at anyone-only to be given a dirty look and then ignored.  How about drivng through a not so great neighbornood with your infant sleeping in the car and getting a beer bottle thrown at your car-almost striking the back of your car where your infant was sleeping? Had I not hit the gas hard and gunned it my car definitely would have been struck....(not sure if it was due to being a white driver-but like most blacks do, one can assume)-How bout being followed by a group of black teens who were calling names like "white bitch" and throwing things like bottles, rocks, etc.... where you felt so threatened you had to run into a nearby building (which thankfully had a security guard) to get away.  How about being in the car when your white spouse gets pulled over by a BLACK cop for a simple tailight that went out, and rolling down your window to politely explain that you were unaware of that, only to be yelled at to "shut the fuck up" and "put that fuckin window back up" -which I immediately did instead of disrespectfully back talking to the officer as he likely would have shot at my white ass too if I did not comply.  I can go on but I think I have made my point.[/quote]
