FOR EXAMPLE: Telling a black person "You act white"
or telling a white person "You act black"

let's discuss.

Cause my dumb ass friend is thinking this is a joke. I had to debate a bit.

[Sovereign.]

Blacks are incapable of being racist. We are capable of discriminating so when statements like this get made by a black person I consider it ignorant,  bigotted,  etc. 

However,  a white person on the other hand,  THAT's racist!   

[Lazarus]

No not at all. But I can see how a person can find it offensive and derogatory.

[Mel.]

I think it's more ignorant than racist.

[Lazarus]

I think it's more ignorant than racist.

[Rxxf]

Ignorance more than anything.

[Nine]

I think it's more ignorant than racist.

I think it's more ignorant than racist.

So if someone said that to you... Then you say "what do you mean"

and they reply with something like "you don't like rap music, you dress white (which obviously their saying you're not sagging your pants, wearing snapbacks, hoodies), and/or you don't like chicken, you can't dance, etc."


what do you think then?
Cause that's basically the same thing... is it not?

[charlie.]

Ignorance more than anything.

hmmm...

Interesting y'all don't think it's racist.

[Lazarus]

Do you think it's racist and if so why ?

It's not. lol
imo still falls in the ignorance and stereotypes category than it does racist or racism

but I'd gather them, tell them about themselves and why they're less than smart for saying those things

!!

[charlie.]

Do you think it's racist and if so why ?

Yes I do.

It's basically saying all black people are the same and putting blacks in a box. "You're not gangster enough to be black" I agree it's IGNORANT as well. But it's like it's an essential quality of the comment that makes it racist.


Saying it, I feel like that's taking away someone's identity away from them in a way like saying "You're not Zinc, you're Charlie."

you'd be like WTF 

[charlie.]

Yeah, I think it's like it's an essential quality of the comment that makes it racist.
