[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's the frustrating thing about 21st-century discrimination.  Educated people will not call you the "n" word or display other overt signs of racism.  Instead, it's the very ambiguity and the subtlety of these interactions that can be frustrating.  At least with overt displays, you know where you stand.  With less overt displays, in isolation they are harder to prove, and perhaps easy to dismiss as a one-off.  You may tell yourself you're being paranoid.  But it's the accumulation of these sorts of interactions--being mistaken for staff, etc.--that happen on a regular basis that may convince the recipient that race/ethnicity was the determining factor in their unfair or differential treatment.[/quote]

How about you stop fixating on race and stop worrying what other people think about you? I think that white folks get annoyed with AAs because 90% of what they talk about is race. At some point you need to just buckle down, study, and work hard.  The milking of "discrimination!" for all it's worth needs to stop.[/quote]

White people talk and think about race more than African Americans...sorry the obsession is on your people not mine. Just listen to the Hulk Hogan tapes. were not obsessed. We dont have fraternity songs about lynching white people. We dont have white racial jokes to tell our friends. The fact that you people come up with these things when NO BLACKS are around show's u giving attention to race[/quote]

You are right, white folks birch about race in private. But I think a large part of the reason why is that we are [i]constantly[/i] bombarded with messages by the PC police about how evil and racist whites are and anyone who dares to speak in our defense has his career immediately ruined. You bet that when we're alone we like to speak with each other about what BS all of the racial witch hunts and victim-playing are. [/quote]

Wow, this sounds like a full blown case of Fox news paranoia.[/quote]
