racist

i am currently listening to a conversation in which a boy said, "beyonce isn't bad for a black woman." and a girl responded, "that's only slightly racist," in a sarcastic tone.

can i just tell you how annoyed i get with people being so racist happy these days? like my martin luther king party. someone laughed that all of our treats were racist. THE HOLIDAY IS CELEBRATING BLACK PEOPLE. the holiday itself is racist, in their sense of the word.

what people don't know is that the true definition of racism is the following:

rac·ism  (rszm)

n.

1. the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. discrimination or prejudice based on race.

that kid never said that he thought a white woman was superior to beyonce, because she's black. he never said that she was slut because she's black, she's just a slut because she is one. he was simply saying that he preferred white women to black women. it's the exact same as saying he prefers blondes to brunettes.  

it drives me up the wall when people say things are racist, when really they're not. it's just someone commenting about someone being black. not in a derogatory way. just an observational way.

a while ago i showed up at my friends house with two men, one black, one white. later, a girl was asking about the black one. she didn't say, "the black one," she said, "the one with the gray coat". 

ridiculous.
