Is it normal that i'm annoyed by these racist excuses?

One of my African-American friends once said to me, "You know how black people started the idea of sagging jeans? And white people invented the term 'sagging?' Well, spell 'sagging' backwards."

"Gniggas," I said.

"See?" she said, "'Sagging' backwards spells 'niggas.' Crazy white people."

The term "sag" or "sagging" is derived from a Scandinavian root, circa 1375. So no, it has absolutely nothing to do with racism. I'm tired of racism being the root of everything "Crazy white people" do. Do you feel the same way?

    People can look into things too deeply. Racism is usually blunt enough to not choose to disguise itself behind spelling words backwards or other such things.

    If you pick the correct six letters out of my paragraph above, you can use them to form a derogatory and offensive term. Doesn't mean I meant that, though.

    Ahh, good ole racism. A barrier that many dedicated Americans have fought, sometimes putting down their lives, to overcome.

    Ahh, good ole racism. A barrier that many uneducated and ungrateful Americans like to hide behind to avoid responsibility for their actions.

    If he is so oppressed, instead of walking around, holding his crotch to keep his pants up, I would think he'd be... I don't know... doing something about it? Oh wait, he is. He is complaining to a white person that almost has literally no power or authority over him and is not even part of the problem. Makes perfect sense.

    I'll be right back. I'm going to go bitch to my husband about how men are assholes and beat their wives and oppress us women.

    Normal.

    It's normal to feel this way. I hate how some people think racism has to do with everything.

    "You just pulled me over cause i'm black"

    "No sir I pulled you over because you were swerving erratically and there was smoke rolling out your windows."

    "This profiling, you racist!!!"

    This is on every episode of cops ever.

    I'm not white but I hate when people hide behind racism and believe it to be a sort of reasonable conclusion to draw from some action.

  • It's pretty much an un-written, or noticed fact that the white heterosexual male today are the ones having to deal with most crap off of other groups due to the past white people treating the "past" groups such as women and blacks so badly. Somehow the people that never went through those hard times have a right to complain as if the whites today are the ones that put those groups through pain in which the individual complaining has never been through.

    Racism and sexism is taken less seriously when a white heterosexual male is the victim.

  • Your friend is a fucking moron. "Sagging" began in prison by prisoners who wanted to display they are open to homosexuality.

    It amazes me how some people are still racially driven, It's 2012 for pity's sake but let's face it racism exists & can never be completely get rid of because some people are wired & small minde like that. we can't attribute racism to every dispute between different races but there's need to take note that it does/still exist.
