Why is it that only black people make a big deal of their race? Black mothers were NOT happy when I dated their sons, but Asian and hispanic mothers didn't care. Why is it only "interracial" when people date/marry blacks? My best friend is Asian and married to a white man. She would never call her marriage interracial and never thinks about it.

I wish this whole country would move past affirmative action and instead focus on socioeconomic status instead of race. Poor whites are just as held back as poor blacks/hispanics.

Holy, fuck. Can we simply stop these damn threads. Everyone wants to play the victim. I am a victim because I am a poor black. I am a victim because I am a rich black assumed to have been a poor black. I am a victim because I was a poor white assumed to have privileged I never had. I am victim because I am a rich white and have to pay for everyone else. I am a victim because I am an asian and everyone expects me to have superior intelligence....Where the hell does it stop. As a young child I understood that racism is wrong. However, all this victimization is just about to push me somewhere I don't want to go.


My problem with people like you is that you discount people by calling them victims. Progress can not be made when you have such a disdain for the struggles of others.


People like me? I am a fucking white person who grew up in abject poverty in an abusive home and I managed to claw my way out of the gutter. I don't claim victimhood. I am a survivor and yet every fucking day I have to hear about my goddamn privilege from people who don't have a damn clue about what it means to go to bed hungry or wear shoes with holes or have no winter coat. So yeah, I am getting pretty fed up with middle and upper class blacks claiming vicim hood. Get a fucking grip. Most people have struggles in life. I was never a racists until I started frequenting this board had had to hear about my privilege over and over and over again. People need to get a clue.


Interesting. You are actually claming it now...whether you realize it or not.

I am AA. Grew up poor as fvck. I am now very wealthy - worked for every goddamn thing I got. I am offended by your generalization because I would never claim victimhood - even when I was actually a victim. And MOST AA people I know are that way too. In fact, the White people in my circle claim victimhood MUCH more than the AA's I know.

And if coming to this board "made" you a racist...you were ALREADY a racist.

Bullfucking shit. I have never judged a person by the color of their skin. I wlll judge a person by the strength of their character. What is pushing me over the edge is the constant and I do mean constant references to "white privilege" as if somehow all whites are living the good life.

All we hear about it how fucking hard it is to be black in America. It isn't so great to be poor and white in America either. You get absolutely no breaks because you are "privileged". I didn't let that stop me, but seeing crap like op posting because she is rich and sick of being associated with poor and disadvantaged blacks is just utter nonsense. It is time for people to man up and quit crying victim--no matter what the color of one's skin.

America is falling behind because we are so busy trying to make sure our "numbers" look right--whether they be race, sex or sexual orientation--that we are hindering those who are most qualified to receive the promotion, get the slot at schools or even get the job. Common sense say that is problematic.

People stop assuming all of us fought to get out of the ghetto and had to walk through needled littered streets to our fatherless section 8 apartment every day of our youth. I hate when people want to know "my story." How did I manage to make it against such odds!! I actually grew up upper middle class, as did a lot of other brown people. Rant over.

Poor folks stories are funny when told over a glass of wine in a nice backyard with a smoky fire warming toes. Also, it's fun to shock the progressives who don't know ACTUAL poor people.
