racism

I find the way that some people understand what is and isn't racism mystifying.

TO ME? Saying (lying!) about Black Haitian immigrants "eating cats and dogs" is wildly racist and probably worse than putting the most powerful and untouchable Black American couple in a racist video as apes?

Like both are bad. But the "eating dogs and cats" thing whew! Stinky.

And yet there are these people who were shocked by the video and unmoved by the "cats and dogs" line?

What is the issue? It's the same thing. It's a prejudice that Black people are primitive and inhuman. Like apes or some animal that attacks your pets. It's the same racism.

Is it that they don't care if it's not powerful people?

Dazzled by the wealth and power of the Obamas and so you can recognize an insult to them but not to some regular blackfolks?

It is really odd and I do not get it.

These things are equal and we only got a retraction for ONE of them. 2/

I'm well aware that the kind of person who is "shocked" by the Obamas as apes video, but somehow didn't have the same level of reaction to "cats and dogs" isn't interested in what Black people think. They are mostly worried that "important powerful people" do not think of them as racist. So, even saying this is a little pointless.

But, maybe some of ya'll can ask your uncle or auntie why are ya'll like this? Why?

I do not worry about the Obamas. The Obamas are fine. It's hard for me to feel sad or bad about anything that's said about them. A Haitian working two jobs and living in Ohio having to try to prove that they don't eat cats is MUCH more upsetting to me.

I mean it's all ignorance and very embarrassing.

They have NEVER apologized for that "cats and dogs" BS. Some people are still running around thinking it's true.

For some white people with racism it's like they have a check list. The following things are racism... and NOTHING else:

1. The n word IF said in a MEAN way.
2. Monkeys
3. Watermelon
4. Segregated Water Fountain Signs.

Show them a sign that says "No Blacks Allowed" on a changing room at a store and they are like "well that's different... maybe there is a good reason? People steal"

It's is buck wild. Why even pretend that you care about racism at all?

Some of ya'll are so damn strange.
