How can people not understand how much racism hurts?

Question

You're basically being nasty to someone who has NO power over being the way they are. The colour of your skin should NEVER be a reason to dislike or be unfriendly towards someone.
Racism makes me feel sick.

Answer 1

Many of them do, but do it anyway.

Answer 2

The more you express to racists how bad it hurt's the more they will take advantage of you. Show that you don't give a dam about what they say. Eventually they will stop. Act like their hurtful words are your best friend. The next time somebody is prejudice towards you, look them in the eye with a confused look and laugh at them.

Answer 3

I think what whites fear most is that many of them know, on some deep buried level, that if they were in our position, they would feel a murderous rage. subconsciously, they know full well that black rage is justified.

Many white people didn’t give a f**k to try and prove themselves to anyone, but many blacks have always, ALWAYS tried to prove that they are not a race of unintelligent lazy savages who rob people and rape women. Still, that didn’t matter to many whites because as long as there is just one black person fitting that stereotype, whites are happy as hell.

Many whites are still programmed with that racist mindset. They’re just too scared to admit it. They’re too frightened to look at themselves in the mirror and examine and correct their flaws which include bigotry and prejudice.

So, what do they do instead ? Project. Scapegoat. Make up lies. That is the meaning of mental and moral malfunctions.

Answer 4

it really is hurtful. yes it makes you angry and sometimes people react with yelling or violence but deep down it is really painful to hear someone call you a nasty name just because of the color of your skin. i still remember to this day how it felt when someone has called me the n-word.

one guy that said it was totally drunk and he i doubt he would have said that had he not been drunk but it's still a nasty thing to say. i think the word coming from a known white supremacist wouldn't be as negative b/c you know that's how they feel. when it comes from a seemingly normal person it's really scary and kind of shocking.

Answer 5

Whites don't face racism in America, so they can only understand it as an abstraction. The exception are those who are friends or family with people of color

The average white person in America is more likely to get hit by lightning than to face racism

Answer 6

Racism sucks, but then you have the opposite side of the coin with people like "Professor," who masquerade as an expert on racial relations, yet they actually set back racial harmony back each and every time they express their opinion, as if black people are the only ones on the planet to experience racism.

Answer 7

actually I might desire to agree. i could say a sturdy % yet no longer all white human beings are like that. they're very uneducated in some factors and that they are asserting the dumbest issues. they're greater racist white human beings in usa yet all races are racist. I might desire to confess some white all of us is dumb shiiit. They act like somebody with olive epidermis is Wesley snipes.
