Life Racism is alive and doing well - Page 4

burt · 06-05-2010, 08:25 AM

Some of you may have noticed that I moved from Olathe KS. to Palm Beach FL. There are numerous differences, but the biggest one for me is the racism. It is rampant, and EVERYWHERE!

The black folk hate the whites. The whites hate the blacks. The Mexicans refuse to talk English. The Hatians hate everyone but Hatian.

The New York/Philly transplants are very vocal about their racism. I expected that. But Black children bullying and verbally abusing white children, just for being white? That one shocked me.

This alone has really tarnished my feelings about my move significantly.

I NEVER experienced this in the KC Metro. Was I blinded? Nieve? Are any of you experiencing racism?

Where is Kinston? I'll tell you one thing the weather is beautiful here. It's always warm and sunny. North Carolina is much warmer than I anticipated.

The real issue is that Miami has a large racial Hispanic minority that is scaring the majority white and black populations. This causes more friction than normal between the races as all of them suddenly feel threatened by the other races.

I agree. If the minority populations are small enough, you don't end up with segregated housing, you don't end up with segregated social gatherings, and people tend to deal with each other as individuals.

Hey RNR,
I don't live in Kinston but my Uncle did. It's in the Eastern part of the state, which is much different from where I live. Agriculture is very big there and it's very flat. Also, the coast is only about 1 hour east. My Uncle owned a cottage first on Atlantic Beach then on Emerald Isle.

Think the rampant crime and violence in PB may have anything to do with it. Hmmm?

People do have family or friends affected by it. It's easy to call nervous scared people racists isn't it. Very convenient for you.

Just because you are in a diverse environment doesn't mean there isn't racism though. Alot of the places that are predominantly white or even predominantly black have a stigmata of being more racist. Alot of times it's not necessarily the case because they have nothing to be racist about and they don't mettle w/ people that are different than them all that often.

Blacks pretty much hate anyone not black ... whites,jewish,puerto rican. Jews are the killer of Jesus and using money to control the world illuminati style.

Asians are racist as hell too ... they consider themselves the BEST race and people of other races are "mutts". They are almost Hitler Aryan in their attitude about their racist supremacy and the need to keep their race pure by marrying within their own race.

of course not ALL ...

And by your logic whites hate everyone thats not white because they destroy everyone they come in contact with....See what i did there?

That BS logic and you know it. You make SWEEPING generalizations about people you know nothing about, then add a disclaimer at the end.

Was engaged and planning to get married to a woman whose parents immigrated from Japan. Her parents loved me until they found out about the engagement, and all of a sudden they did a total 180. She couldn't deal with not having her parents blessing, so it didn't work out.

Even with going through all of that, I didn't find them to be racist. Always thought they were just overly protective when it came to their dying nationalism.
