If justme was racially abused as a child and right on through his life, he would struggle with it just the same as anyone of any race creed or colour in the same position. “People of colour” have been made to feel inferior by whites for hundreds if not thousands of years.
This is the main reason why white peoples being racially abused don’t take it seriously or get offended because of the history of racism throughout the centuries.
This is a very difficult subject and I think we should all take a deep breath before looking for opportunities to look less racist than the next person because he may not have expressed himself in what is considered the totally correct PC way.
Chill everyone, I doubt we have any “genuine” racists on here, just different ways of getting their point across.
Thanks.if i came across in that matter. your right i didnt mean too. wasnt my intention. I brought that up because the question was why its fine for black people to use the N word and not white.
I think its because of how its perceived from both angles. I was asked would it be ok for me to be called the N word. I wouldnt have the same levels of emotional stress. I wasnt trying to appear arrogant..
