Well then maybe I should go into politics lol. It just came off like he was saying that those with prejudices should be forced to change their opinions. If that's not what was intended then I apologize.Quote:

it is animal nature to be apprehensive. you should never be mad if this happen to you. feel sorry for her. she was scare for what ever season. racism means she think she is better than you. when things like this happen to you, just smile at that person and wish him or her a good day. your politeness will eventually change his or her view.
lol This shit is amusing so I'll bite. You say I try to act a certain way but I don't change personalities or usernames to impress anyone here. I'm not the one trying to be an asshole to uphold a persona on IA, matter of fact I had no problems with you till you and your boyfriend got offended when I set you two straight.Quote:

LOL damn, I've never seen that side of Tony! Damn son!

You're so full of shit, I actually think you're starting to fool yourself into believing it.

You are very far from the stereotype, and you know it. It just bugs me when you try to relate to these people who say "oh yea man, the man's keepin me down" when you're in the mans ass.
I also have a racist moment to share with you guys - it involved an indian and a black guy! it was terribly racist - so racist, i shed a tear out of my weenie!
yea - i found it

Talking out of your ass yet again. I can relate to threads like this, because it actually has happened to me and others I know. I highly doubt a old white lady can hold me or any black person back unless she is Barbara Bush. My life was no where near being rough but I have experience some stuff you will never will and vice versa.Quote:

I see it all the time. Every color, every race, every gender does it all the time. You hold doors open, you let people out in traffic, and maybe even talk nicely to that stiff lip wearing Gov't worker only to not even be acknowledged. It seems people now often times feel "entitled" for some reason. Hell, blame it on reality TV or bad upbringing. Don't know, and quite frankly I don't care what the excuse is to be honest. It costs nothing to have good manners, yet it shows true character faster than anything else.
We'll never know for sure why she acted rude like that. Just don't stop opening doors for others because of it. :goodjob:
Truth. I delivered beer to stores all over metro Atlanta for 7 years. Countless times have I walked to a door with a hand truck loaded down with up to 12 cases of beer on it, positioned myself to open a door only to see someone approaching the door. I actually stopped to let these people in, while still balancing the beer, only to have them walk on in as if they had walked through an automatic door. Not a thank you or anything. But I kept on. That's just my character; my personality.Quote:

You just got to keep a good attitude about yourself. Don't let someone else's misery turn into yours. Later, QD.

You haven't set anyone straight, all you have done is proven your own ignorance.

I think you read me wrong, what I was saying was don't change your identity just because someone else thinks you need to conform to their standards. His hair is a part of his culture so to say "oh you need to cut your dreads if you don't want this to happen again" is ignorant thought. Maybe whoever is quick to judge needs to challenge their own line of thinking.Quote:

My wife who is 5'3 maybe 110lbs soaking wet has had old white women clutch their purse when she walks by, theres nothing threatening about her and she carries herself in a highly respectful manner. That is the reasoning behind my feelings on the subject. Most of us that understand speak from experience, a lot of the ignorants in this thread are intimidated in the same way that the old lady was. I know you don't feel that way and I know that is why you present your side respectfully and I appreciate that.
:thinking: huh?Quote:

As I get older by the day, I realize that often times you have to concede that you should do what's right just because it's the right thing to do. If you get angry, and I'm just as guilty still of this sometimes, every time someone is rude and lacks manners.....you'll get premature gray hairs.:D I always tell all my children this, mine or borrowed; Manners don't hurt. They don't make you weak. They do however say a lot about you quite loudly to everyone around you. :goodjob:
Let's not perpetuate the hate. You want to change how someone views your race? Be the first to lead by example instead of proving them right.;)....this is why I don't have a big gigantic Nike swoosh sticker or the Virgin Mary sticker on my back window.....:lmfao:;):goodjob:
Mexican. Later, QD.Quote:

Haha what I mentioned about my grandmother and how she will talk about things and words she will say that would be considered racism for sure now days. I was shocked at first, but had to realize the time frame they grew up in and what happened.Quote:

Im cool with whichever race.
My friends at school are all diverse: Black, Hispanic, Arab, Egyptian, Thai, Korean and Im the White dude and we all get along.
I dont see why people single out specifically for racism. I sorta see that it is mainly one thing that a person dislikes and is ignorant to only think that all people of that race are like that. Its pretty sad if you think because some dude does something wrong and he is this one race that all others of his race are like that too. Everyone is different.
Sounds pretty simple huh, lol?Quote:
