I am a student in a 'culturally diverse' middle school.There are kids from all over the world and social classes.In being in this school for 4 years I have noticed a double standard.A LOT of the black and spanish (girls in particular) always call white girls names using the word white ,example: 'white b****' .I don't undersatnd this phenomena ,do u know how many times i have been reffered to as a white this or white that? If i ever DARED to say to a black girl 'black b****' i would be suspended because i would be 'racist'. Aren't the girls caling me white b**** also racist? Also I don't understand why black and spanish people have to have magazines,tv channels ,even make-up products just for them and then call it 'black beauty' or something.If i started my own make-up line called 'white beauty' it would be protested before it hit the stores. Why can they have special privaleges because they're black,spanish,etc. You don't see any other ethnic/racial group getting special privelages.

But that doesn't mean they have not been instructed not to do that. Would you make such a sweeping generalization if a white child had said the same thing to another white child? My son has called people names and I have corrected him for it. I think, a parent's job is to instruct their children. A child calling names on one occassion does not mean he has bad parents, no matter what color they may be. And that was not exactly a name, it was more a use of adjective to describe the color of his body part. I am black and I don't mind people describing my color. But the word a** should not be used by children or most adults.

I am not full black but my dad is and he has deffinatley laid down the rules of name calling. If you say that all black people don't teach their kids about this than i can say that all white girls are lesbians because they are always dancing on each other. Is that true? No it's not. So then how does that make you feel. It makes you feel mad because somebody has just put a sterotype on white girls.(which by the way is not how i feel). So next time you should think about what you say.

Perhaps someone should teach you not to make sweeping generalizations like that. One person is not really representative of what a whole culture does. You probably just ran across a particularly rude and disrespectful kid, and as we all know, those exist in all cultures. FYI, I am black and my parents did teach me and all four of my siblings not to name call.

That doesn't make any sense. How do you kow the white kid was completely innocent anyway? He could have made a racist comment and you just didn't hear. I know that my mother always taught me right from wrong and how to treat other people. So I would appreciate it if you would stop making yourself look bad by asking a stupid question like that.

Same for many of the blacks. No one here can speak for all black people!

Any prejudice made because of one's skin color or ethnicity is racist, that is the definition. It's not 'being ghetto' that's just an excuse.

IT'S WRONG FOR SOMEONE OF ANY RACE TO CALL ANOTHER SOMETHING OUT OF CHARACTER SO I DON'T FEEL THAT YOUR POSTING SHOULD BE SPECIFICALLY TOWARDS BLACKS SINCE WE BOTH AGREE THAT NAME CALLING ON ANY LEVEL IS WRONG! BLACKS HAVE BEEN WRONGED IN AMERICA SINCE WE WERE BROUGHT HERE AND CONTINUE TO BE WRONGED! WE AS BLACKS NEED TO LOVE OURSELVES AND COME TOGETHER SO THAT WE CAN RISE OVER THE MENTAL SLAVERY THAT EXISTS IN MODERN DAY 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!'
