anna23826Participantokay, I heard a song on the radio that said, ‘brown skin, I love you’re brown skin…’ and I was just thinking about what would happen if somebody said ‘white skin, I love your white skin…’ and I realized that they would probably be labeled as a racist and/or get sued. So how come our society goes like ‘oh, they’re just expressing pride in who their race’ whenever a comedian or rapper talks about ‘being black’ and might say something either pro-black or anti-white (even though we know they aren’t anti-white, sometimes they might say stuff that is); but if a white person said the exact same stuff that they did, only put ‘white people’ instead of ‘black people’, people would call them racist? Where is the line drawn between pride in your race and racsim? Also, how come it’s okay for balck people to say nigga but it isn’t for white people, even if everybody knows that the person using it (no matter the ethnicity) doesn’t even mean anything by it? One of my white friends got suspended for saying ‘what’s up, my nigga?’ with his black friends, and everybody knew he was just kidding around (nobody cared), but a teacher walked by and heard him say that and sent him to the principal’s office. So if people don’t what otehr people calling them a certain word like nigga, then why do they call themselves that at all?
