McCain should win in landslide. Obama turning out to be a lightweight.

Here I am, highly educated, articulate, I appear bi-racial, BUT you can tell I’m part BLACK, hair longer, silkier than theirs, and these wrinkled, vindiction white bitches have the audacity to resent my presence and authority.

Yes, It’s obvious I don’t appreciate that. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it shouldn’t happen at ALL.

There’s not doubt there is racism that exists. It happens directly or indirectly.

The direct ones are the easy one to address. Disciplinary action, lawsuits,etc. That takes care of a really egregious display of racism. I doubt in modern society this really is predominant issue. And if there is, the social/economic backlash is enormous, as it should be.

Indirect racism is stuff that *could* occur hidden. And I emphasize *could*. BUT frankly, you really can’t be sure if it was racism and you really can’t fix it by a public policy, legislation,rules, or educating the public. For example, as an asian, I can probably point to numerous occasions where I see asians passed up for promotions/etc. It could be a whole slew of reasons, though the one always cited is “language barrier” and other reasons about not “bullshiting enough”… There many be some relevancy, there may not be. Hell, I don’t know because a lot of decisions get made behind closed doors.

BUT, you really can’t put on the blinders and say I feel i was discriminated or a victim of racism, can’t identity who/what specifically it was, then blame everyone who is “white” on it, and worse try to force public policy on everyone who is “white” in the hopes of making things equal for yourself.

It doesn’t work that way, and doing so proves nothing more than one’s own bigotry to “white people”, not to mention it probably makes “white” people who never thought about race to begin with sick and tired about having to be P.C. all the time. Ironic, because often times i feel white people are the true “victims” of all this PC nesses that our society has imposed.

And this is precisely the issue I have with Jesse Jackson and the Rev. who, as a public figure, exclaim things in such a way to suggest “all white people” as racist or discriminatory itself is racist. It implies a double standard. On one hand, it’s asking for making things equal, but on the other hand it’s asking for an unequal playing field. Truely an oxymoron. This is the same double standard that says it’s perfectly fine for a black person to call another black person with the N* word, or for one asian to refer to another asian as a chink or riceboy wannabe, because these are things no white person would ever be able to say in public. Or as a more recent example, why it was perfectly acceptable to put a t-shirt picture of President Bush (a public figure) on a monkey, but anyone that puts on a tshirt a picture of Obama (a public figure) on a monkey is immediately branded a racist.

If Jesse Jackson or anyone else wants to truely level the playing field for minorities, ok fine. Let’s do this 100%. Let’s start with college admissions, specifically into engineering and medical. I personally would love to see the college admissions quotas into medical/engineering dropped such that well qualified asian applicants are not routinely turned away because there were “too many asians applying”. Why don’t we start talking about this being “unfair”, and unequal, and discriminatory?

If we really want to make things have more racial balance, why don’t we start implementing affirmative action programs into are national sports teams? I don’t see too many asians playing for the San Diego Chargers or for any other NFL team for that matter. I think there should be an affirmative action program that places underrepresented asians into the NFL. Meanwhile, in the NBA, why don’t we brand Charles Barkley as a racist? Afterall he did hurl all those insults about what a sh!tty a player “Chinaman” Yao Ming would be when Yao first started, despite Barkley being a shitty playing, shitty attitude player….Ah, because if we were to do that, our NFL/NBA/ML BB teams would really start to suck bigtime if these teams didn’t comprise of the “best” players (though, it actually might help the San Diego Chargers and Padres, since they suck anyway). As to no surprise, Jackson in mum silent in these cases.

You can’t have a double standard that says it’s perfectly acceptable for a minority to be a racist or treat people (either of their own race or others) in a derogatory way but expect everyone else to treat you back in some exemplary way.

It’s been proven in society that this sort of one-way relationship is doomed to failure. A spouse that routinely treats the other spouse like shit and at the same time demands exemplary treatment from the other spouse will inevitably result in an extramarital affair or divorce.

Marion,

I am guessing it is not your race they resent, it is you are better looking than they are. A lot of women are bitchy that way.

P.S. I also felt resentment directed at me because I had a degree and most of the women I worked with did not. That’s what I get for going into a blue collar occupation, but the pay was worth most of the BS I had to endure.

Marion, before I continue, I want to clear. I like you as a poster here and I find your postings eccentric yet amusing.

If you’re referring to people on this board, I don’t think that these “white bitches” (as you say) on this board resent you because you’re black. If people do resent you, it’s because they resent you for your posts.

Second, haven’t you ever met other black women that resent you the same way as those “white bitches” like you say? I’m just pointing out, again, that unless some white person flat out says “I hate you because your XXXX ethicity”, you can’t assume they hate you because you are XXXX ethicity. For you know, the can hate you because they think you’re a pain in the ass person or because of the perfume you wear, or whatever. Without conclusive damning evidence, claiming someone hates you because your black,asian,whatever is what I call “playing the race card”, which imho is really is self defeating. Because in that scenario, the only one that’s really calling attention to your race is yourself. The only thing that will result from this is directly/indirectly you’ll end up being isolated from just about everyone else around you, and thus make you feel even more excluded.

I’m by no means an angel (frankly, I’m a pain in the ass). I get into a lot of arguments, and I people either like me or hate me. The people that hate me, I can think of a long list of reasons why they hate me well before it’s the fact that I’m asian. And likewise, there’s a lot of people I can’t stand because of not their color is but what their attitude is about. I don’t hate Jackson, for instance, because he’s black. If he were asian, I’d equally hate him, because he’s doing a great job capitalizing on our social problems.

The only thing that will result from this is directly/indirectly you’ll end up being isolated from just about everyone else around you, and thus make you feel even more excluded.

I’m by no means an angel (frankly, I’m a pain in the ass). I get into a lot of arguments, and I people either like me or hate me. The people that hate me, I can think of a long list of reasons why they hate me well before it’s the fact that I’m asian. And likewise, there’s a lot of people I can’t stand because of not their color is but what their attitude is about. I don’t hate Jackson, for instance, because he’s black. If he were asian, I’d equally hate him, because he’s doing a great job capitalizing on our social problems.
