yes, it surprised me too.

There are so many closeted racists on livejournal. The littlest things bring out the worst in them. Scary.

[alaskan_blue]

Oh yes. I'm so racist. That totally explains why I was the recipient of a Minority Leadership Scholarship, why six of my best friends in the whole world are black, hispanic, and vietnamese, and why my blood boils ever time I see the KKK passing their pamphlets out at the mall.

I love the "I'm not racist because" comments. Please. You called the dude a nigger in response to being called a bitch. BITCH is not a racist comment. Like I said before, it's insulting, and demeaning, but it's not racist. Nigger was the only thing you could think of to retaliate with? I highly doubt it.

[alaskan_blue]

I was not called a bitch, I was called a "white bitch". Are you telling me that's not racist? That his entire comment was NOT racist?

[isis_venomz]

Hell naw it wasn't racist. If the last time you looked in the mirror you were white, then the shit wasn't racist. I have heard plenty of people say things like...."I'm not usually attracted to but so and so is fine!"

You're white and you got called a bitch. Like I said, insulting yes...but not racist.

[alaskan_blue]

My what selective reading you have. Put yourself in my situation.

A white guy grabs your ass and says, "Yo you pretty sexy for a black bitch!"

Now, is THAT racist?

[recumbentgoat]

yup.

[isis_venomz]

Hell yea it would be racist. However racism like that happens every fucking day. I wouldn't run all over posting about trying to find justification for what I said to him in return.

Like I said before (and you're not going to change my mind)...the fact that calling him a nigger was right on the tip of your tongue says a lot. You all are itching to say the shit but want the perfect opportunity for it to be "justified" or "well deserved". Now you're in blackfolk expecting us to praise you for calling someone a nigger. Please. You want us to justify your racist actions because what...you have a minority scholarship? Because you stooped to the level of some ignorant disrespectful fool in a restaurant?
Looks like you got a couple of other soft shoers in here talking about "But we say it!! Why do we get upset when other people do??" But not me.

[alaskan_blue]

Oh look, another mind reader.

Now is that two of each race, or an assorted pack? Cute comeback, but you still come off like a racist for using "nigger" in response to "bitch". I'm sure "jackass" or a splash of hot coffee to the face would have been a better way to handle it. And that "Minority Leadership Scholarship"? Those things work both ways sweetie, even when Whites are the minority. Just ask any who are going to HBCU's free of charge.

[alaskan_blue]

Assorted pack. And I'll say to you what I said to another person. Bitch isn't racist, but "white bitch" is.

[aatriplex]

Get over it sweetie.

[toodani]

two of each worked for Noah, so why not?

[moremi]

When I wrote that, I wasn't even referring to you. I was referring to some users that left congratulatory comments.

[alaskan_blue]

Thanks for the clarification then. My apologies.

[thewayoftheid]

Oh please DO shut up.
