One time at work i carded a young black girl for alcohol. She called me a racist and I told her I was just doing my job. She said I was "racially profiling" because I didn't card the white man in front of her. (He bought a scary movie and was CLEARLY over 18)
But I couldn't say anything because anything I said in my defense was thrown back at me for racism.
So I called a manager and walked away
Just a few quotes along this line of thought.
"Race is a constant factor in American life. Yet reacting to every incident,real or imagined, is crippling, tiring, and ultimately counterproductive." - Dr. Condoleezza Rice
"The most important lesson I think I could impart is don't let anyone determine what your horizons are going to be. You get to determine those yourself. The only limitations are whatever particular talents you happen to have and how hard you're willing to work. And if you let others define who you ought to be, or what you ought to be because they put you in a category, they see your race, they see your gender and they put you in a category. You shouldn't let that happen." - Dr. Condoleezza Rice
I noticed a common trend in that none of her quotes are about placing blame and expecting entitlement simply because you exist. It's all about hard work, perseverance, education, and focusing on doing your best in spite of the situations around you.
Considering that as little as two decades ago they were literally being beaten in the streets for being black, I'm gonna say they deserve a bit of a pass for that hate-on. Number one thing to remember as an international: you don't know the full context.
That's the type of shit north Korea does, aren't we supposed to be better than them ?
And you do have a point, you don't know the full context. Just like Irish people and Eastern Europeans are treated like how blacks are here but over in Europe. But you don't think they deserve a pass on the hate do you ?

Shows what you know about apartheid guest. It was not the same thing that happened in america. Yall were by far way worse.
That's also how feminazis think. Thousands of years of oppression, now it's time for "revenge" on men. But that's not how it works. It's about equality, be it regarding racism or feminism.
