A white person gets uncomfortable in how to describe a black person. while at a wrestling tournament with my son. . . . . Another father was telling me how good my son (not knowing it was my son) was. I said "oh thanks, that is my son. " he said no, the kid (long pause) with the yellow shoes and the funny socks. I guess I should have helped him out, but I was in a weird mood. I was like, "which one". . . He proceeded to describe everything he was wearing and nothing about him physically. . Lol. he would not say the black kid for anything. Well, I have your answer. Yeah. It is amusing. I had someone trying to describe another black person to me. And instead of saying. "they were black" the person started hemming and hawing. Then pointed to my arm. Rubbed it. Then said. "they were like you. " I had to laugh. I said. "you mean they were black?" The person nodded without looking at me. Another time. Someone was talking to me about a black person. Again. They hemmed and hawed. Then called the person an african american. I was quite amused, seeing that the person they were describing was a black canadian. It's okay folks. You can say the word black. It's not a curse word. Neither is it politically incorrect. If we can say white. You can say black.

its called WHITE GUILT SYNDROME.
some white people are so afraid to say certain things because they dont wish to offend.
i grew up in a non white area, I know im not racist & I actually feel more comfortable around black and hispanic people then I do other white people. therefore I know I dont have to sugarcoat anything.
Yes, it is a bit funny. But I don't understand why people would be a bit uncomfortable about it- all you say is “That black guy over there” or “That African-American gentleman over there” or something like that.
But yes, it's slightly amusing, I suppose.
ur kid is cute as hell in dat pic. . . aww bless . .
im assuming ur child is of mixed race? thats what I would of said to describe him. . . but ohwellz.
You just LOVE being a nìgger.
Again; so everyone knows. Dirty is the only nìgger on this site. He is ashamed of being white and he is ashamed that he lived a life of pure racism before finding Jaysus.
You know, Dirty; every time you do things like this, I get one message. Fake.
You are desperately trying to come off as a non-racist, but it's like a fag in the closet; you just won't admit it.
You're pathetic.
lol ive seen that happen, they are trying not to offend. I appreciate the motives, but im not that sensitive!
No. I think it is is a shame you are a race traitor and self hater though. You contribute to the genocide of the white race.
The man tries to do the Right thing and you laugh at him at least he's trying I applaud him for making the effort to be Not Racist!
Ho its Whitney just use racist comments I would rather sit next to the guy who tried than Ho its Whitney with her Bigoted Ways !
lol so he was unknowingly ignorant by assuming that wasn`t your boy. I guess they were scared of being labeled racist, I have no problem using the term “white people” to describe crackers.
Yes, I think some people think that it is offensive to say ” the black kid”, but its also weird hear some say “the African American kid”. . . lol
Its not at all. However like I said some, partner across from me has no problem saying “the black girl” .
I don't think this only happens with white people. I've seen people of various races who refuse to call someone “black”. It's because they are not sure if that's offensive or else they believe that it is an insult to call someone black. But that means that some think that being black is a negative thing. lol
Yeah, I find it hilarious. I used to work with this white girl who refused to describe me as black. She insisted on calling me brown because that's what I am, she said. I was okay with it at first until I noticed she couldn't describe any black person as being black, that is when I decided to have the “talk” with her. . j/k. I simply told her that when you describe a person as brown most people will assume you're describing someone of Asian decent, not African. I also made it perfectly clear that calling someone black is NOT a bad thing.
i think some people really don't see the color of ones skin, it's just not an issue to them. I think that is a great attribute to have. we are all just people. why does the color of ones skin matter?
I find it much easier to describe people by the color of their skin. It is just a physical description. . .
“Hey, look at that black guy. ” “Hey, look at that yellow guy. ” “Hey, look at that brownish guy. ” “Hey look at that white guy. ”
Our eyes are designed for picking up colors. Why not use that to our advantage?
But anyways, I find it hilarious when I have to help people describe a black guy because they're afraid. I'm not.
I've been in your shoes. My oldest Son doesn't look anything like me. . . he favors his Father completely. He was huge in basketball and went on to play semi-pro in Europe and I had several women talk about him in front of me and I would say “that's my Son” and they would “laugh” at me. He has been playing semi pro football for the last couple of years and I still have the same problem but I've learned to accept it and let it go. People who cannot accept “reality” don't understand that the world is constantly evolving and changing and the children or “tomorrow” are more beautiful than those of yesterday!!!
Happy Holidays!!!
Sissy!!
