I see a Centaur Man, I am happy.




But it tobe continues, so that's okay, right?

Centaur Man as Heavy says : NOOOO!! WEINER MOVE WRONG WAY!!FFFFF I am so bad at drawing centaur man. And he's my favorite.


That's a bit naive. It's true that slavery is over and that nobody living is responsible for it. It is time we all got over it. It happened; it was bad; however, it's over. No one living was ever a slave [in the United States]. No one living ever owned a slave [in the United States]. Racism is a real thing and it still exists. But we can't say that reverse-racism doesn't exist either. They both do.
It's been proven that people with "white-sounding" names on job applications are more likely to get a call-back. Men are more likely to get hired than women. All these things are real. They're happening now. Bias about sex and skin color--how dumb they might be--are still important to a lot of people in the US. I agree, however, that one of the major reasons why race continues to be an issue is because black people put so much emphasis on it. Hell, they made a holiday about it.
I, myself, have been a victim of reverse-racism. At one time, I worked at a grocery store as a cashier. One night, I waved a woman over to my cash register. All I was thinking about was how glad I was she came along. I had been standing there for like ten minutes bored out of my mind.
I started scanning her groceries and then she said, "Now, I'm not calling you racist, but I saw how you looked at me."
I stopped scanning and it took a few seconds for me to process what she had just said. Finally, I looked right at her and said, "Excuse me?"
"The way you looked at me. You looked at me a weird way because I'm black."
I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. The fact she was black never crossed my mind. When I was at my job I was focused on doing it and I didn't really care who I got. Most of the time I didn't even pay attention to what they looked like. All I could manage to say was that she was mistaken. I have honestly never been so insulted in my life. Still, to this day, nothing has topped that.
It was my first personal experience with racism--and my only one--and I never want to experience it again. This woman claimed I was racist just because I looked at her. This, in fact, makes her racist because she thinks that anyone who happens to be white and looks at her is racist. I still don't understand this. Even now, writing this post, I can't come to a proper conclusion...

What, so no one here agrees that racism is still a big problem and we have to keep fighting it? Anyone who calls out racism is just a "reverse racist" now? I don't buy it.
Where does that come from?
