Confused?

I posted this on Facebook, but figured I would post this here as well. And to let you know, Patrick is my 2 year old son.

After being at the park today, I can honestly say I am confused and racism is alive and well. There was a woman there with her twins that were about 3 or 4. One of them was infatuated with Patrick, and that was the one he was riding the purple dinosaur with. The other one wanted nothing to do with him, and kept looking at him like he was an annoyance taking up her space. Before we left I heard her call him a dam cracker. This is wierd and confusing how one twin could cling to him and want to play with him, while her TWIN sister wanted nothing to do with him and called him a dam cracker(keep in mind she is MAYBE 4 at the most).


The truly confusing part is there mother was whiter than me, and you could tell they were half black as well. So explain to me how one girl could be fine as could be with Patrick, but her TWIN SISTER who's OWN MOTHER is white as casper would be racist against my son because he's white, yet the woman she was there with calling mom was whiter than Patrick?


Then again, the mother wouldn't look at me or say a word to me or Patrick, and looked at us just like her one daughter did that wanted nothign to do with Patrick. So your whiter than flour, but because you obviously had children with a black man, your black and whites are beneath you. And this is just a fine example of how divided this nation has become, and proof racism is alive and well from ALL skin colors towards ALL skin colors.
 
I have said time and time again that the most RACIST people in America are the blacks. PERIOD!!

You don't here whites referring to themselves as Polish-Americans, or German-Americans, or you name a country-Americans... but blacks call themselves African-Americans. They deliberately portray themselves as being different, and then blame whites when they are looked at as outcasts.

You don't here white comic's making racist jokes in their routines. You don't here white people constantly bringing up Obama's color (except for the media of course, which is trying to destroy the Republicans by playing the race card as much and as often as they can. But that's a different topic for a different time). If you live around blacks all you here in their conversations is racial remarks. Name me ONE, just ONE, white person like Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton that make their living by being race baiters and agitators.

Look, I'm not saying that blacks are not without some justification on some issues. Traditionally they make less money, and traditionally they live in less affluent houses, etc. But a HUGE amount of their problems are caused by themselves. They are the ones killing themselves in the cities. The statistics of young black males being killed in gang wars by other young black males is appalling. THEY teach their young to be race haters, as was evidenced by your encounter Ferm. How else would a 4 year old even know what a cracker was? They learned it in their home.

Masse (A renowned socialogist) (Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Massey) says that who we are, what we become as adults, is ingrained into us by our parents and our surroundings by the age of 3-4. If you are taught to hate, if you are taught racism by your parents conversations, then chances are you too will be a racist when you grow up. Sounds like the twins parents are proving Massee correct.
 
I fully realize it is taught and picked up from there home. It just floored me that one twin could be so hateful of my son while the other was more than willing to play with him. And the mother who is FAR whiter than me treated me as though she was black and had a chip on her shoulder. Just blew me away that because she has obviously been with a black man, she all of the sudden feels she is black and hates whites.

As to your point of races, I'm 1/3rd NATIVE AMERICAN. I don't go around beating my drum demanding special treatment for it, and I don't have a chip on my shoulder for what happened less than a century ago(my dad's mother was full blooded Cherokee, and was part of the Cherokee that refused to go on the trail of tears and hid in Alabama to avoid it until they were ousted as indians in the middle of the night in 1934 and driven from town to Florida). It just blows me away how she being as white as flour could have a chip on her shoulder towards somebody of mostly her own skin color.
 
And that poor purple dinosaur was caught in the middle of all this......He's thinkin," Im purple. The only other purple dinosaur is Barney so I get likened to his corny azz!!" Atrocities are everywhere Ferm....

Anyway I went to a predominately black school as a child and also got buttwhoopins just for being White on a Tuesday. Personally I do think they are more racist than just about any other race. Thats a fact Ive experienced personally and professionally. I dont hold it against them cause they're not all the same. I had a very well-spoken and considerate black guy come in the store yesterday and I had to make it a point to ask my co-worker who also grew up in the same conditions, why cant BP's be more like Jerry? He wasnt "acting" white but he also wasnt acting like a thug. He is just a decent person though I know he was ostracized growing up becasue he didnt drag his wallet pocket on the ground or wear his hat with a flat bill (which looks f'n stupid btw).....

I think you gonna find it everywhere Ferm even on the playground and even from 4yo......Were just always gonna have sh*tty people. White, black, hispanic, etc.....
 
I've dealt with plenty of black people with extreme racism, and dealt with many more who are some of the best people around. It just blew me away how this woman who is more caucasian than me could be racist towards her own skin color because she's had a black(at least half black) inside of her? I know to many this will sound racist, but it's just the truth. My wife remided me when she got home about the time this summer where a white mother had her half black child(who was much older) bullying our son. He was pushing him down in the waterpark, and just trying to be mean, and the white mother thought it was fine because our son was white and he was "just playing". But our son turned around and yelled no in his face when he went to push him down again and he's a bully because he said something to her much older child who was black.

And this is a semi recent development where I live. When I was a kid we all got along and played, and didn't feel privalaged because our skin was a different color. Our current climate has sure divided this once great nation. I know at one time it was bad here, but in all honesty it has gotten almost to that point again.
 
i used to work with a guy that his mother was american and his father was from Egypt. His skin was lighter than mine after a summer tan. He would always fill in his nationality as African American. The people behind the counters would question him on it. If they were black, he would question their ancestry and right to claim African American, He would site all the know regions that dark skinned people come from(not all from Africa) and start claiming racial bias and discrimination because of his skin color. The guy was pretty smart(one of the better engineers I worked with). By the time he was thru with the lazy ***' behind the counter, they wouldn't know what to say. He told me he created quite a stink at the DMV office one time. I would have loved to see one of his throw downs in person.






Ferm, one thing you can't escape, there are some really stupid people out there, and most of thing cling to stupid ideas like their skin colors makes a difference,They always look for a reason to blame their own personal failures. It goes both ways. We can only hope the one child will be smarter than her surroundings and grow up to be a decent person, sounds like the rest of the family are a waste of oxygen. There was a black girl on the news page in Rock Hill, SC that was beat up by another black girl that didn't like her because she was too white and talked white. I skimmed thru the article and read the comments. i was pleasantly surprised by the number of people that supported the girl that got beat up, saying being smarter and better than your surroundings isn't anything to be ashamed of or worthy of being beaten. The girl that assaulted her had a history of violence and was arrested.

It's funny you bring up the one black giel beating up the other. The one sister quit playing with the other one after she played with my son. I guess it's like Ron White said, you can't fix stupid.
 
It's all been designed and implemented.

Look around and pay attention.

If you watch the terrible thing called television it's everywhere. On purpose. Does anyone wonder why?

This guy has a pretty good opinion of it, of course if he was white he'd be called a racist and shunned.

EDIT: And Ferm damn Cracker is compliment in my book, although the word damn being used towards a youngin' I don't agree with even if it's from the mouth of a 4 year old. Tells you about the low quality of her parents. Whatever race.

Ferm I would speculate that MAYBE the other child had other racist family members who influenced her more than her sister.... MAYBE the mom was just distrustful of strangers OR maybe she was raised in a racist black household or MAYBE her boyfriend or husband would beat her if he saw her looking to another man. OR MAYBE she just didn't like her child playing near people she didn't know but wasn't bold enough to say so OR maybe she was raised black, considered herself as a white skinned black and happened to also be racist...... It's pretty much impossible to understand all the dynamics of someone else's life without knowing them.... Heck MAYBE she hated you for some other reason you never even considered and the little girl maybe got her attitude from some other child she often played with.


I can tell y'all one thing... IF you think white children aren't ever brainwashed from an early age to hate "Fn N's" You have lived a sheltered life (NOT an insult!).... I've lived all over the mid-west, met people from all over the country and I work in the oil fields of the south west and have more than once been absolutely BLOWN AWAY with the hatred and outright brazen nastiness shown by what I thought were good people I had been working with on a daily basis for weeks or months...

Example:
A few months ago I was out to a steak dinner with 3 co workers and the wife and young children of one and cousin and sister of another when the whole group including the 4 or 5 year old boy got into a VERY loud discussion about F N this and that and "if a F N ever so much as looks at my little girl I'll fn kill him" and if she even speaks to him I'll beat her to a within an inch of her life. Keep in mind she was 6 and sitting right there and a black man wearing a uniform from the local dodge dealership was walking past with his 5 or 6 year old little boy when the little boy smiled and waved at our group of 8 or 9 people. These were people I had worked with and socialized with for a couple months and from 3 different families and two different states... I had NO IDEA previously they would act that way.... I finished my steak quickly and left.

I have heard similar things from white people now and again for my whole life. In the circle where I work I'd say that 60-80% of people consider blacks Fn N's and probably half of those are fairly polite to their faces while the other half will come right out and tel them as long as not too many witnesses are around... otherwise they are just cold and rude..... That said tho about 90% of black people I meet separate themselves from whites but then again if I were black and had heard the terrible things I as white person have heard other whites say I would probably be VERY distrustful of whites.....

Don't get me wrong... I have seen plenty of black against white racism too and while it MAY be more prevalent than white on black I certainly wouldn't say it was one sided at all.

The truth as I see it is that people as a rule are vile despicable creatures and there is only a minority among us (all races included) that deserves the air we breathe..... Sooo maybe white crimes are often different, Fact is that a a much too large percentage of humans will lie cheat steal or maybe even kill if given the chance to gain something if they think they can get away with it. Anyone who has seen children play especially when they think they aren't being watched knows that they are born to be ruthless..... Not long after they learn to walk they are fighting ,name calling, lying, stealing, breaking stuff out of spite.... even as they get older... You can tell them for their whole lives about dangers and honesty and trust but just one other kid says "sneak out tonight and meet me at...." and many kids, unless they are afraid will probably try it... Or "just tell your folks you're at...." And the lies just flow from their mouths.....


Whew..... uh I guess that's enough of a rant....

Smoke, while I completely agree with you on all those organizations you mentioned (nice research BTW) I have to point out to you that not one of them marched in or took place in the demonstrations in Furguson, Mo. a few weeks ago. My point was not that there are not anti-black people or organizations around, rather, my point was that there is no one (that I know of at least) that actively goes from incident to incident and deliberately fans the flames of hate like Jackson and Sharpton make a living doing.

And, by the way, please do not misunderstand me or my feelings on black people. I grew up surrounded by black people. My teen-age stomping grounds were Passaic and Paterson NJ. (Both very rough, mostly black large cities) I went to school with black kids and hung out with them most of my life.l I owe my life to a black man that saved me from death while I was in Nam. I am not a racist, and it bothers the sh!t out of me when I hear anyone use the N word, including black comics like Chris Rock. If it's wrong for whites to use that word, it's just as wrong (if not more so) for blacks to use it.. Demeaning is demeaning, no matter who says it. So, while I applaud your research and your feelings, I'll stand by my original statement. The most racist race of people I personally know of, the people that constantly use race as an excuse to get welfare, food stamps, unemployment, the people that are constantly dropping the race card for all their own troubles are the blacks. And while I agree that they may have some justification for some of their problems, until they start changing how they live, how they act, how they think about race, they will always have those problems.

Ferm, what we did to Native Americans was a crime and a national shame. It is, however, history, and as such cannot be undone. Just as we cannot undo the horrible practice of slavery that our nation also engaged in, or the interment of innocent Japanese-American families in WWII. (Just to name a few of the things that we, as a nation, have done wrong). But we can learn from these things, and we can move forward so those sorts of things never happen again.

My parents were Polish. So I guess that to some people I'm Polish-American. To that I say no, I was born in America, so I'm an American. I'm proud of my Polish heritage, but I do not flaunt it or wave it around like some kind of symbol of pride. My grandparents on both sides were slaves. They lived in Poland and were under Russian rule for much of their lives. So please don't anyone bring up that blacks were once slaves and deserve some sort of special treatment because of that. They don't. They are not the only people that have ever be oppressed, nor will they be the last.

Children learn what they are taught. They learn most of their core values from their parents before they turn 4. That shapes them to be racist or non-racist, hard working or lazy, honest or dishonest, neat or sloppy, etc, etc.

It takes a significant outside emotional event (like the death of a parent) to change those core values. So if those little girls are learning to be racist by their parents, then that, unfortunately, is probably what they will grow up to be.

I cannot speak for their mom, since we know nothing of her history. But from the description that Ferm gave of her actions, I think it's safe to presume that her children are being taught from their observations of them.
 
I guess it all boils down to it was the 1st time I had to deal with white on white racism, and my son had to deal with it as well is what really urked me. I'm not perfect and have had my racial outbursts and tendancies, but I've grown and hope to do better with raising my son not to follow the misguided path I had.

Then again, I am still one of those people who still believes there are "N's" around, but being one has nothing to do with skin color. I've been around several black peopel who have called other blacks N's to there face because of how they acted, and told them they were a disgrace. On the other hand I have also seen whites called N's because they were acting so despicable.

I just hope I do a good enough job raising my son to not judge somebody based on skin color, but on who they are instead.
 
Destroyer I can't argue with that....

BTW my mothers family was Polish immigrants (pierogi may well be the best food in the world) and on my dad's side I'm truly an American mix.... German, English, Cherokee Indian, French, and more..

Ferm, there MAY well be a happy side of the story..... Maybe just maybe those little girls learned something from your boy that will stick with them... even the snotty one may take something positive away from the experience..... maybe not but let's hope.

Didn't you know that Pierogis are one of the 7 main food groups? So are Gwumpkies , Kielbasie, and kruschiki. (The last, lesser 3 after them are dairy, grains and meats). :beer:

People are just rude. The internet and Al Gore are directly to blame IMO. We are loosing our ability to communicate and interact one on one. Everybodys favorite show is a TV drama of some sort that they want to emulate in real life. So people are literally walking around looking to start a beef with someone.. Who needs it?
A shame that the woman didn't have manners Ferm. Manners go a long way, even a fake smile and a nod and an exchange of eye contact. Anything but the cold shoulder. I normally try (once) to play off of the cold shoulder act by instantly asking "Just fine how are you?" As if they asked me first. They are normally so taken back they will lighten up a bit. If it doesn't work, I normally turn my head 180 and say "OK" out loud. I figure it is their loss, F-em. Reason being, there is no way to know what is going through someones mind. The kids would feed off the stresses of the mom. Maybe the one that played with Patrick got sick and tired of her mom's attitude and just decided to do her own thing.

Patrick is 2, damn they grow fast. Is he cussin and spittin yet?
 
You and mama are good parents Ferm, Patrick is a lucky little man. I am sure he will be as well spoken as his father. Just poking a little fun, four is the proper age to begin to cuss and spit anyway.
Last weekend for scallops, all boats down. I got a firm invite on "Skegless" anytime but I am all but emaciated at 184 pounds. I got to get some of my strength back first. Besides soccer started last weekend and we have practice tonight and a game on Saturday. It will be this way for the next 8 months, give or take. I love it, all that cut grass. Just being outside and watching the kids do their best at futbol. That is a BRAND NEW PIECE OF AMERICANA right there BTW. We never had organized soccer when I was in school.

Thats great Ridge! Id give just about anything to be back out on the pitch again. I basically lost my right knee to the sport and deal with chronic back pain from all the slide tackles but Id go back and do it again even if they told me the pain would be twice as bad. Keep them in it! You never know how far it will take you.

I played for 13 years against all kinds of teams and one thing in particular sticks out. We played an International tourney down in FLA and played against some AMAZING teams. We lost all three of our games, one to the #1 team in FLA, then to Guatemala and then to Trinadad. We were all bummed out about gettin our A@#es handed to us until our coach pulled us aside from gettin on the bus and said, "Look....You're a bunch of kids and friends from a tiny island off the coast of Georgia. So you got your a@# beat- you competed with them didnt you? You gave em hell and thats all that matters...." That was where it sunk in. You just never know how far you can take the sport and there will always be a better team and players to improve yourself on. I guess my point is that if he's dedicated and passionate about it, encourage him to step it up and always compete against those who are better, more skilled and more disciplined than them. It wont take long for him/her to catch up to same level. Just two cents from a has-been, haha.......
