i think i know what youre tryin to say, you just phrased it wrong. i dont assume all blacks are criminals and i dont think most ppl do either. has more to do with appearance and demeanor than just skin color

There's no double standard. Everyone is racist to some degree and the result is that minorities suffer, regardless of their color. In the west, whites just aren't the minority by and large.

i was trying to reference the outrage (whether it would be real or not is debatable lol) if i made some sarcastic comment about whites being justified in their unfavorable disposition around a bunch of blacks. i can already see the ban hammer bein lobbed in my direction and the pseudo outrage from a handful of members here lmao

Fair enough. Point being that minorities have suffered in the US due to being the minority so the assymetry in racial sensitivity (and policies that address the issue) are justified. That being said, most blacks in my experience can appreciate the honesty about your discomfort (especially if you make light of it), and are annoyed by people who pretend to be colorblind and use the word "african american".

i'll go along with ya on some things, like obviously the N word holds more weight than cracker or honkey or whatever. i do recognize the differences int he past of races in this coutnry so i get why the sensitivity levels are different but there is also a portion of ppl who like to exaggerate and use that racial sensitivity to their advantage cause they know that a lot of whites feel some sort of weird guilt when it comes to race issues

im not uncomfortable around a black guy. the guy in a 4XL white tshirt and baggy jeans wearin a sideways cap and fake gold chains speakin in broken english wayyy too loudly is the guy im not comfortable around

Is this intentional irony or unintentional irony?
