"All Black People" Asked to Leave S. Jersey Wal-Mart

Y'all some racist bitches. But I'm sketched about sitting near Arab people in cramped spaces myself. Specially when they're not speaking in English or French.

I think his problem was that he was turned off to Arabs when he worked for one. Something about a persistent garlicy-humus smell and the way they stand way too close to you when they are addressing you. I keep explaining that it is a cultural thing but he doesn't care. He's very much a personal space type of guy.
 
Me personally I didn't think it was funny at all. Exposing children to that kind of racism particularly black children only exacerbates a stereotype.

pooh to you too
 
I kind of embarassed myself at Disneyland on Friday when my partner tried to squeeze into the tram seat next to me and I said, "Oh hell no, there's no room for you here. Get to the back of the bus, Ms. Parks".

Had no idea there was a black family sitting behind me. I was told they were glaring holes through the back of my head. :lol:
Every body loves to play the victim now days. People need to get over themselves, and get on with life.
 
Silly joke. No 'N' word usage. Colored folks probably laughed too.

.... People don't called black people colored folks. We're not characters on a Crayola box. These are colored folks.

I found this hilarious, but then again if the announcer had nonchalantly said any major race, it would still be just as amusing.

It was crude and inappropriate. Not as bad as making fun of blacks who were beaten and ridiculed for sitting at the front of the bus but still inappropriate.

A real man would have simply apologized for the mistake instead of turning their back on them.

How does color have any reference to Crayola? Black sharpies, white out, duck tape? Not relevant.

However, colored is a broad, old term which referenced everyone outside of the caucasion populous. Which includes me.

Explain to me how "people of color" differs from colored people. I know that the term was appropriate when I was young and is no longer used, but it certainly isn't another 'N' word.

Neither term you use should be used IMO. Black people and African American would do just fine when talking about black people. It is not because I consider them racist, but because I consider them ridiculous. I remember an e-mail that pretty much explained my thoughts on the terms 'Colored people' and 'People of color'. It read something like :

You are white.
When you are mad, you are red.
When you are cold, you are blue.
When you are sick, you are yellow.
When you are scared, you are green.

I am black.
When I am mad, I am black.
When I am cold, I am black.
When I am sick, I am black.
When I am scared, I am black.

But you have the nerve to call me colored?

It is simply ridiculous. Just use black people or African Americans. Saying I am colored but you are not would make you what? Clear?

I don't use the term "African-Americans" because I don't want to be presumptuous.
 
Was this is poor taste? Yes.
Do I still think it is funny? Yes.

I now want to walk into a bar tonight and be like, "Umm all you Irish people, yeah you need to leave. Trouble makers."

Good post. I haven't been here very long, but people are beginning to realize that I'm never clear.

I'm, um, don't take this wrong, have fun with it..... here it comes:




Flesh-tone.




And so are you.
 
I don't use the term "African-Americans" because I don't want to be presumptuous.

There's not many "African" Americans to speak of. Most black people I know have never set foot in Africa. I know Louisianna Americans, Compton Americans, North Carolina Americans, etc. I think I have known maybe 5 African Americans. That's assuming Gambia is in Africa. I think it is...

I actually know quite a few African-Americans. I also know a couple African-Brits, an Aboriginal Australian, a couple Jamaicans, about a half-dozen or so Haitians... not to mention some actual Africans. :lol:

I wouldn't want to assume that someone is American based on their skin-tone. :2razz:

It is kind of like how the Reverend is Irish and Nanci Pelosi is Italian. It goes back to a person's heritage. However I do find that there is a weird physical and social difference in Blacks from Africa and Blacks from the U.S. - Not always but we just look and act differently. At least when there isn't chicken around.

Is this a *yawn* moment for you? ;)

Exactly. It would be nice if texmaster just once actually contributed anything other than a steaming pile of horse**** to this forum. It's become so boring watching him strut, cluck, and preen like a bantum rooster for his own edification.

I have him on ignore so that I don't waste my time reading his horsepoop. ;)

P.S. I had a dream about you over the weekend. It was as though we were old friends. I felt warmly about you when I woke up. xoxo

The hypocrisy on this topic is incredible. The same people like yourself, jallman Hutey and others who scream bloody murder about the "rights" of homosexuals even having the audacity to compare their plight to black's history of racism endured and the civil rights movement on the 50s and 60s in this country were the first ones to laugh at racial tension where blacks were the recipient of denigration in this Walmart.

The tolerance you show only goes towards the causes you support. The hypocritical nature of all of this would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.
