I'm becoming a racist

everyones a little bit racist

Well its no big deal. Blacks already think we're all secretly racist anyway, might as well make their dream come true.

Try to address the behavior not the color of skin. Would you approve of her work if she were white? If not, then it's not racism. Take people one at a time.

Your parents sound like bigots. Good for you trying to break that cycle. Don't let negative incidents rekindle the poison they fed you. Take those incidents for what they are and leave race out of it.

I reckon there is no smoke without fire, Im sure your parents speak some truth about their race but there are always exceptions to the rules. try not to judge others that you meet with these prejudice's as you may come across a few that break this mold.
I had a dodgy west end "common" cleaner and had to get rid of her as at 11am she was drinking and smoking and she kept interrupting me working with her filthy language!
but I am not going to tar all west enders with the same brush.

i don't think i'm racist... but i believe streotypes exist for a reason...

i lived in the bad part of town for a while (you know the black part). my house was broken into (by blacks). stolen cars were left behind my house (by blacks). my gf couldn't walk the 4 blocks to the grocery store without being stopped and scared silly (by blacks) driving up on the sidewalk to offer her a ride...

i became kinda racist too, but i recently told the black guy i work with that "i'm not racist, i hate all people equally."

just keep judging people individually. judging people based on those stereotypes (no matter how often they prove true) is bad news.

Don't feel bad, everyone is a racist. I am bi-racial and I never divulge my black heritage and I married white in an effort to dilute my gene pool. I too can't stand being around black people. Africans, fucking forget it. They are on some other shit period. Nasty disgusting pigs. I agree with you completely. Most blacks don't fool with true Africans and don't want any association with the real "motherland".

Well I can tell you from experience I grew up around a lot of racist and they judged me for my race. So over time I started to hate the race they said they thought should enslave my race. So I do not blame people for being racist since I became racist for being treated poorly.

I got bad news for you kiddo - criminals come in every shade of skin colour, so don't just assume that someone the same colour as you is not going to be a criminal. If you suspect it is her, then just call the fukkin' police.

I grew up in a liberal "love everyone" family. Now a have a large swastika burned deep into my right arm and a German Nazi eagle tattooed on my chest. Racists aren't dumb, ignorant people. We just have more life experience with scummy races and I for one got tired of being walked on because of my white skin. Racists aren't born, we are made.

Fyi the money thing is a good idea, but dont make it too obvious, maybe like u dropped it and it fell down somewhere.

Take a pic of it before she comes so u have proof.

I was a maid for many years. Sort of regret handing in the huge diamond earringninfound onnthe floor that the owner just threw intonabdrawer with barely a glance. But not really, i could not have taken a thing.

Even if she takes it, it goes without saying that this means absolutely nothingbabout either black folks or immigrants. Just about her.

Good idea with the money thing, but don't hate on a whole race cause of 1 person. Kudos for not displaying the same negativity your parents did.

It don't matter if ur black or white!

Lucky. I'm white. And were I live, (Texas)
Well inmy town anyway black people and mexicans are racist to white people. I'm not racist. I just feel sad everyday when black people or mexicans are racist to me :(

Man I didn't know that there were so many bigots on IIN, oh well. The point is ignorance is like a cancer, it can spread and ultimately narrow your world view, as it seemingly has. Have you ever asked yourself what if the person who stole your passport was white, then what?

yh this is totally normal, don't worry everyone is racist, white people are racist against terroist and black people are against asains, and puerto ricans make fun of chinese people, and we asians are all racist. Although i have racist thoughts too, and though i'm friends with other races. Yes indeed everyone is racist!!! My Opinion. I don't actually hate other races but certain people prob.

You want to know what disliking black people is like? Come to a place in america called detroit, you'll soon wish hitler got his wishes.

behind closed doors we all call eachother racist names .its called freedom of speech.i don't consider myself a racist but i believe it a time and place for everything.SHE DIDN"T TAKE YOUR PASSPORT YOU MISPLACED IT DUMMY!!!

dude anybody will steal money if they see it leave something like ID or drivers liscence

Racism is a disease and its sad because one person did something you try to judge us all. Im not saying this just because Im black but what the hell???? Just because white men can be stereotyped as crazy bastards who go around shooting up schools I dont think that about all of them. Just because I see hispanic people in places I dont assume they crossed the border to get here or that all hispanic men walk around with leaf blowers. .....Have an open mind and dont turn into an ignorant person because thats whats gonna happen

I think that it is normal to think that way, especially if you grow up around racist people. However, I don't really believe that it is a virtuous way to live and see people.
I say judge the person and the person only. Don't apply that judgment to their race, religion, etc. People are individuals, and should be thought of that way.

Racism is an ugly word used by ugly people, I have an always regard that word as a relative to violence against another race, hating a race is your own choice and should not be anybody's say whether you are racist or not, as long as you don't plan violence against someone because of their race-- that is a wrong

-simple as that-

I don't think you're necessarily racist; but you're definitely beginning to think that way.

Try to see that she might not be a very morally sound person, but that doesn't mean her race has anything to do with it.

As long as you don't act on or voice your feelings, I don't think you're going to be in any trouble.

ok i think racism isnt quite the word because, i think the onky reason u notice the same traits in all of one race is because of hiow there religion turns out, and i think you CAN blame the religion, and niot the cloour of the skin, and also, yes so nless trouble comes upon you, judge against them individually ;)

you're being brain washed!!!!!

totaly normal. Everyone goes around acting as if they are all segregation and everything. but when you talk to it with a group of people, then you realize that you are all racist. do not worry. you arn't alone.

she is taking your money.

Souns like you have a similar background to me. I don't consider myself racist, though my parents clearly are. I approach people of all races with an open mind, but sometimes people do live up to their negative stereotypes and it does have the effect of creating negative ideas about certain ethnic groups. I don't consider this racist though as it's based upon experience rather than what other people tell me, and I recognise you will always get good people and bad people in any racial group, it's just the proportions of each are skewed sometimes. My advice would be leave some money lying around like you say and secretly film her, you need proof first.

the fact that one person is like that doesn't mean all 'immigrants' are the same.
I see why you ought to think that way, but try to see everyone as a person. Don't devide the world into groups but just stick to the whole individial idea. ;)

thats a shame that one person could change your views on a entire race. do you realize that if you do suspect that she stole it you should report it and if the landlord trys to be a dick about it then take it a step further to the law. he will probably get a new cleaning lady. and if you dont like her so much simply tell your landlord you will clean your own house and you no longer ned her services. think about what you said and imagine if everyone in the country started hating whole races of people because one person burned them. this would be a fu$k^d up place to live. as a black woman i could have easily gotten mad and sent you a nasty response but i chose to try and help you see that you are carrying on a cycle of hate that if nothin else will become very exausting in life. i hope you recieve this message well and you dont carry on your parents hateful ways.

Your parents are very wise, friend. And the painful truth is they are pretty much right.

Now you say this woman is a Nigerian immigrant, and she is the only one that has been in your room. I agree with your theory that she just may have stolen your passport.

I base that theory completely on the fact that she is a Nigerian Immigrant. She probably stole it and sold it to a friend in her neighborhood who will make counterfeit copies of it and sell them to get other Nigerians into the country illegally on fake passports. Or she may use it to get a family members into the country.

By the way thats a good idea you have about the money.. But take it a bit further.. use a little money and a few other items of value. Make sure you put some small markings on the money you set out so you can later identify it, as well as any other items you use for bait. If you have small wireless cam you can hide, that would work as well too, so you can see what she does when you are not around.

Also talk to your neighbors and find out if any similar activities have been going on. And finally have a word with your landlord if your suspicions bear any fruit.

I'd even go so far as to leave out other "official" documents like a driver license (maybe your own counterfeit copy of one), and see if they turn up missing.. of course as I said use counterfeit copies of your own, without revealing any info that could be used to gain access to vital financial inforomation.

Let us know how it turns out.

i can't relate to you,
I'm not racist, I hate blacks and Asians equally :)
