I agree with you, we are comfortable right now. Us black folks that browse the internet regularly are seeing more and more stories about white people treating us like shyt. I just think were seeing it first but eventually all black people in the "real world" will start seeing the trend too and a boiling point will come.
and do what? :heh:

I think what gets me most about these sorts
of discussions, is how many people are so passive about it.

They'll say something like "Get over it !","It's not that serious !","No one thinks like that anymore".
Then get all up in arms when someone uses those exact same caricatures
as a justification for murder (Jordan Davis, Trayvon Martin) and random
searches of your person (stop and frisk).

Then again I shouldn't be surprised, there are black people
totally fine with these things, I mean just look at The-Coli.

Exactly. It gets on my nerves.

And again, further evidence against the 'blacks are the most racist or obsessed with race claims. These motherfukkers have turned Halloween into some sort of white power statement. :dead:

i don't think it's about being passive (well with me at least) it's that we don't need another blackface, costume, or racist comment to know that there is a shytload of racist white people out there and it doesn't make sense to get up in arms for every incident. it's much better to avoid that negative energy and focus on building ourselves so we'll have the power to not have to deal with them or actually do something about them. bytching on a message board or to the media every time something like this happens just makes the racists smarter or give attention to the ones that seeking it and does nothing to solve the problem.

the mexicans will be worse, they don't give a fukk AND will stand their ground.

If Hispanics ever come into power, what will have changed really? Blacks would just get discriminated by Hector instead of Matthew. Nothing really changes for us, which is sad but, that's another discussion. What does change is.......now Matthew gets to see how the bottom feels too :mjpls: and I will shed no tears for Matthew when that happens :mjpls:

You may have a point.
Latinos discriminate between latinos. (I'm hispanic, btw).
Part of the reason I hate going to South Florida is the way some white Cubans look down upon dark-skinned Cubans/Puerto Ricans/Dominicans, etc.

White and black seems to permeate even latino culture.

She didn't need to apply a shytload of bronzer on because she got the nametag and distinctive hair.
So she will deal with the backlash.

Wut. Exposing racists makes them smarter? And, why does it have to be either/or? Why can't we 'build ourselves up' and point out incidences of racism? IMO stuff like this needs to be blown up if no other reason than for educating those who have bought the post-racial bs this country spews... which just might motivate them to start 'building themselves up'.

Why do cacs try to do this? They just put themselves in an awkward positions when they gotta explain themselves, especially when they got that weird "Jersey Shore" bronze just to try and step around the issue. You'll never see any of them not give a fukk and show up like

like they really want to, but they still decide on using the bronze facepaint, with controversy happening any damn way. Just don't do it at all. White people can dress like black characters, but the tanning stuff is just unnecessary.

yes instead of voicing their views in the open they'll learn to just do it anonymously and behind closed doors. we've been pointing out racism for generations now how has it helped? black people in general certainly don't believe in post-racial america.
