It'll be okay Tiph!!! Gurl...i know i've experienced tha same thang...u juss gotta keep yer head up and keep yer cool. Cause there's been a couple of times where i've been tempted to cuss folks out. AND u got to make me real mad to make me wanna cuss at people. But u said what was up and u didnt hold it back. As long as he knows now...maybe he won't end up doin it again. AND if he decides to...dont go crazy...cause thats what white folks wanna see. They wanna see the BLACK gurl act quote unquote BLACK! Soooo dont let him get the best of u. And keep ya head up ma!
awww....I can kind of understand where you're coming from...I used to get slick comments because im mixed...
it's been hard and always will be hard...
"racism still alive,they just been concealin it" - kanye 8)
im feelin u on that. i play golf or whateva and whenever my college team goes on tourneys we play white schools and we always get comments like oh look at all those tiger woods'!bullsh!t man...
Damn Tiph. Thats really...really fucced up. But I'm proud of you. You handled yourself like a woman should. So he'll know not to say nothing ignorant around you agian. And like mentioned before if he does....CONTINUE to put him in his place with maturity and sooner or later people will realize the level of his immaturity and might even have enough balls to put him in his place themselves. Don't worry about the people who are sitting there doing nothing, they just lack the courage, but I doubt you are the only person in there that feels this way about his biogoted comments.

yep yep, what she said...so sorry you had to experience this, tiph...
it's amazing how absolutely **** people can be...
i remember in high school, i had this white male friend....& we were pretty cool - not tight tight...just cool @ school or whateva....
and he wuz very much an upfront racist...but it wuz like...i always just laughed about it 'cuz he wouldn't really make remarks about blacks (even tho i know he'd be thinking it)...it was mostly about Mexicans and others...NOT SAYING THAT MAKES IT RIGHT...just, sometimes, u can't help but to laugh @ ignorance....i mean, case & point - i end up bustin' a gut everytime i watch "All In the Family" - 'nuff said....
& besides that aspect of him, he wuz MAD COOL...
but 1 day my senior year...we were in the same english class...he sat in the chair right in front of me....it was an honors class, & i was one of 4 blacks in it - everyone else was white, w/ a total of like 30 students in the class....
it was i think Black History Month...& the particular day our school chose 2 celebrate it....& he mentioned 2 me that he doesn't understand why we (Blacks) have our own song (the "Negro National Anthem")...
he was like, "it ain't like there's a country out there called 'Negroland'" or SOME stupid ish like that
BOOYYYYYY all i know iz i wuz soundin' off up in that class 4 the next like 5 minutez....my friend Alex (the same one i'm REAL cool w/ now) sat right behind me & said afterwardz that he wuzn't even paying attention 2 what we had been talkin' about, but next thing he knew, i wuz doin that 'head-twirlin' thing, lol...wavin' my finger back & forth & ish...
i couldn't help it, man...he **** me off so much....
another white male student came 2 our school earlier that morning with a humongous Confederate flag on the trunk or hood of his car as well....tryna be funny...he was sent home, but i think that same white friend of mine wuz tryna justify that ish too...
after that day, we didn't talk again 4 a MIN...i wuz so **** @ him...
jackie knowz who i'm talkin' about....
I know exacly how u feel mama. I went to boarding school and I had to deal with these ignit **** rich white kids plus some rednecks from the surrounding area. U did the right thing, more power to you
As many of you know I attend a PWI...
Today in my english class in which it is only 3 black people, I was having a conversation with the one other black girl when I look up and see this white guy looking at me..
He has this smile on his face, and he gives me a head nod. I turn away and act like I don't see him because he's a ignorant white boy...just the other day he asked one of the black guys if he's " ever been shot while he was in his hood, and if so could he protect him"...
Plus he's always making comments..So once i turn my head away. He looks at me and says
" Whats wrong my SISTAH...you can't acknowledge me when I speak to you?"...
Ok this **** me off...all the white people got quiet..and the black girl sitting next to me shook her head..at this moment i could
A. GET UP AND SLAP THE SHIET OUTTA WHITE BOY
B. TELL HIM HE WAS WRONG, AND NOT TO REFER TO ME AS HIS SISTAH
C. IGNORE HIM AND CONTINUE MY CONVERSATION
D. SLAP THE Sh*t OUTTA HIS ****
Guess which one I did.....
B. Tell him he was wrong, and not to refer to my as his "sistah" because I feel as though he's making a mockary of me and my race.
Now I'm feeling as though it didnt make a difference because all he said was "yeh whatever"...I felt like I should've done more. I'm **** because all the white people just watched..including my teacher..and all the other black people just sat there.
I couldnt focus the rest of the class period..and at a point I felt like crying. Just like I do right now..
So I wrote this while sitting in class..feeling as if its no hope.
Chocolate tears fall from my eyes
Shocking to those who never seen this black girl cry
Lost in a world where they don't understand me
Just realizing that I really am the minority
I try to walk with my head held high
Letting my chocolate tears fall on the inside
Hurt because I know I can't cry
Can't let them know they got the best
Of the black girls with the big pretty brown eyes
Chocolate tears to cover my fears of this world
Trying to ignore the comments they throw at me
"Whats up my sistah, I wonder how BLACK I can be"
Its funny how I thought Sh*t like this only happend on tv
and in the movie screens
And I'm starting to feel the chocolate tears in my eyes
Because his words are hurting me , **** me on the inside
Degrating my character and my race
Wanting to permently wipe that smirk off his face
Hiding my chocolate tears and fears as my anger starts to rise
Feeling like i want all white people to die
For making my chocolate tears show
For not understanding that I'm only trying to grow
Chocolate tears fall from my eyes
Shocking those who never seen this black girl cry
I'm sorry its so long...and I'm sorry this goes into the lyric room or whatever....I'm just tired of this racist bullshiet thats going on here...and how it seems to only be effecting me... :cry:
Aww, I'm so sorry!! Damn I feel for u! I experience that everyday in my math class, but since I have no self-esteem and no confidence in myself to talk back, in that kind of situation, I would have just ignored it...I respect you becuz you stood up, and I'm now looking you as inspiration, that I can stand up for what's right and not be a coward.
i'm sorry to hear that...but where i'm from (da south) you get and hear ****like that all the time...errytime a black girl gets her hair done...her hair is automatically deemed as weeve!! but after a while it'll be like water under the bridge...it won't phase you and you'll just be like "sit yo lil pale **** down" and that'll be that!!!
STAY UP PLAYA!
