Dear White People: 3 Acts Of Casual Racism That You May Be Guilty Of Doing
WebProNews ^ | October 11, 2014 | Toni Matthews-El

Posted on 10/12/2014 12:07:17 PM PDT by Dallas59

“Dear White People, the minimum requirement of black friends needed to not seem racist has been raised to two….Sorry, your ‘weed man’ Tyrone does not count!”

Just like that, the upcoming Dear White People movie moved into highly controversial territory.

The trailers (both standard and the recent red band) touch on scenarios that call out the casual racism still acted out in a supposedly “post-racial” America.

Although the statements and questions raised by the lead character Samantha White may seem outlandish to some white Americans, for far too many African Americans her rants represent everyday reality.

Here are some things called out in the trailers which, if you are doing them, are indeed racist.

To this day whenever I see Tom and Jerry cartoons, or an old episode of Amos N Andy, or Blazing Saddles I’m ROTFLMAO. I’m a racist. Whacthya gonna do about it, homies? Like these hypocrites never laughed at a “dumb Polack”, “drunken Irishman” or “cheap Jew” joke in their holier-than-thou lives.

So the assumption is that their drug dealer is black? Isn't a little... Racist?

I’m offended. This author needs sensitivity reeducation.

Can I Touch Your Hair?

I never see this. I never hear it.

I saw black men at a thuggish reggae club in America paw and grab at the hair of some French women (who arrived in our crowd) when they'd walk by Without even asking.

I’m a part time racist. Some blacks I can’t stand. But not all. Oh, wait. That’s not because of their skin color. Never mind.

Sadly, this type of racially offensive behavior is still far too common. Though Dear White People will bring the laughs, hopefully the blatant addressing of casually racist attitudes will provide movie goers with something to think about.

Here's something for all to think about. Proof of some offensive behavior that the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry don't really want an honest discussion. The four right-most columns on the Offenders table are my addition. The FBI tables do not contain those columns. I added those columns to show a dearth of white offenders vis-a-vis white victims and just the opposite for blacks who show a dearth of victims vis-a-vis black offenders.

It is only a guess on my part but are tens of thousands of black offenders helping us lazy white offenders to victimize whites? We really don't need that kind help and consideration.

Can I Touch Your Hair?

Listen "Tony with an I" I lived around black and brown people all my young life. I got sick of them touching my hair. I got sick of them rubbing my skin. I got sick of them asking me to talk English or Japanese to them. I got sick of being the exotic one.

However "Tony with an I" not being a racist pig I never assumed that they were racist. They were just people who were curious about someone who looked different, sounded different and came from far away.

"Tony with an I", get over yourself little self.

Some of the most beautiful women I have ever seen were French. But they really need to bathe regularly and use deodorant.

It has to be funny, like Chris Rock.
I think Chris Rock is funny in between his racism.
The best thing we can do with racism is acknowledge it
and learn to laugh at it instead getting all dang crybaby butt-hurt.
Race whores and certain politician's and Lawyers are a bigger problem than actual racism.
