Racism or double standard?

by Roderic Williams

Created on: November 19, 2008

I find it funny how people define themselves when they're racist. They try to keep other races out of the things that they believe makes their race. For example, a black person could see a white person with baggy pants and jewelry and be like "he's trying to be black." I didn't know you could buy blackness in a store. Trust me young people, there's much more to being black than rap music, tricked out cars, and bling. That is what we call a trend, anyone can be apart of a trend regardless of race, age, or sex. Another thing that black people do is that they're quick to kick someone out of our race. They'll see a black guy and be like, "Look at him, going to college, dressing all neat, getting a good job with benefits, he's not a real black person." That's what it takes to be a fake black person? Well sign me up because last time I checked you're not supposed to be proud to be something of that nature.

White racist people are funny too. They treat races like they're a plague. Exterminate all that aren't like us? Sure that'll make the world a better place. No more crime since there's only white people right? No more prisons will be needed right? No more wars will be fought right? How narrow their minds must be. Some white people will live in a "good" neighborhood and have a black family move in and they'll be like "there goes the neighborhood!" Thrice I say Word?!? You think black people are there to screw up the neighborhood? I mean if I'm paying 2000 bucks a month I'm not there to stir up anything. I want this neighborhood to stay as pristine as possible.

Black youth are another group that white racists love to pick on. Black youth are like all youth, they're mischievous. If you white people are in disagreement with me, I can name more than a dozen white youth that are more mischievous than myself or any black person I know. Kids will be kids, so don't think that one race is going to be anymore troublesome than the other. I'll bet if everyone treated every white kid like he/she was gonna shoot up the school some white parents would have a lot to say.

So people please just be civil to one another, I'm not saying love everyone because everyone can't be Mother Teresa or Ghandi, but don't think everyone is gonna do you harm because of their race because any color person can be crazy as hell. And I know I only spoke about white and black because that's all I've really been exposed to as a black male, but so all the other races feel well represented.

Every race is racist in some way, so there will always be a double standard because it's wrong for other races to be racist towards us, but there is some sick unwritten rule that says we can be racist to other racists and there's nothing wrong with that. Everyone needs to learn to love
