    Thumbs down Black girl in disguise - white conversation.

    As some of you know and some of you dont I am currently a white looking black person. (Mixed race if want you to be specific. (- Currently because things wernt always that way.))

    This is nothing new, but is happening with alarming frequency lately.

    Ill be chatting away to customers or sometimes dancing for them and suddenly they'll make a negitive comment about other black people in the club. "I dont give my money to niggers" "Niggers shouldnt be in here" "Oh where youre staying is nice, no niggers or Asians in that area" and so on.
    None of these people except one has openly said anything openly to the other black people and all of them are embarressed when I tell them Im black. Which has got me thinking - is this normal conversation for white people?
    Obviously I know racism exists, but is it normal for white people to throw around the n-word to frequently when they think no black people are listening? I didnt think it was so common especially over this side of the world, but now Im starting to wonder.

    No, I certainly don't think it's normal conversation for white people. But normal conversation for very ignorant people.

    the N word is used more now then ever - I blame it on rappers who use the N word constantly in their song to describe dark skinned people

    I get that sorta thing sometimes. 99% of people would never EVER guess that I'm mixed... so sometimes I get to "enjoy" off color jokes and racist remarks. Ugh.

    It's not SUPER common that I've ever seen... at least not in my experience.

    I'm white. I've been around "white people" all my life predominately.

    No. It was never a word that was used alot. I would say that the people using the word just have no class. It isn't a word that features in my vocabulary nor that of any of the people I "hang" with as such (be it friends, friends of friends and acquaintences).

    Absolutely not.

    i said that word for the first time, I dunno, a couple of years ago when I was telling a story about someone else saying it. I've said it about 5 times in my life since then (similar circumstances, telling a story about someone else saying it), and heard it maybe 10-15 times in person.

    I think I've probably heard overt racism against black people being spouted about a dozen times in my life, and at least half were during my two weeks in Beaumont (sorry Corgan!).

    Not common.

    Racism about Asian races, however...daily here.

    Growing up I only heard it said in a derogatory way from the lips of "Okies" (the slang term for the lower-middle class descendants of Dust Bowl migrants to California. OH the irony.)

    Luckily California is very diverse so ragging on one group in particular was pretty pointless. Sadly though, the ethnic groups segregate themselves.

    Extremely rare to hear people use that word. I've worked and known some surprisingly racist people in my life too...but racist in a very nonspecific way. Hard to describe, but it makes me so uncomfortable. It's like the conversation goes from normal to idiotspeak from people I didn't really expect it...

    But the 'n' word is really not thrown around in any circle I've crossed. When they are making racist remarks, it's usually something like a guy in the strip club saying to me "there are a lot of black girls here tonight, huh?". Like, what? But that's about as bad as it gets. Maybe they don't say more because of how I look at them...

    I do suspect, just based on American men I've spoken to at work...I mean, I don't want to generalize...but I have a feeling it might be a bigger, or at least more overt problem, in the States.

    Also, I've said the n word a lot. Not because I'm a racist bitch, but because I used to do plays and a few times I had to recite Huckleberry Finn or books like that. I actually GOT IN TROUBLE for saying the 'n word' when it had it in a book as part of a speech! Apparently I was supposed to say, "That dirty nword"... um... but the point of this play was to point out how stupid racism is... wouldn't it be more powerful if I actually SAID THE DAMN WORD?! Aggghh.

    ^^ AHAHAHAHAHA. That's even funnier than the stripper in NM wearing a tight ass confederate flag t-shirt. Or if yr in a bar in upstate NY and they are flying the flag.

    Dude, NO. Not where I come from anyway.

    It's been unfashionable to be blatant about yr racism for awhile now it seems...even old ppl know to keep that shit in check in front of others. I think?

    I hate that language.

    I work for a call centre, and I deal with it alot. We service US customer accounts for a major cell provider (tmobile). Funny thing is I am asian, but I talk like I am white. I have heard every racist name thrown at me from cracker to a guy calling me the N word because he thought, "I bet you are one of those N___ bitches". I find it funny bc I am not black nor am I white. These types are so stupid. So thick in the head.

    Thanks for the responsies!
    The huge majority of my friends and family are white and this has always been the case. Few of them have ever started harping on about other races in a negitive manner and I cant imagine that they would.
    Im glad to hear it isnt normal! (-:

    I think so too. I attend university, dance and work in a call centre. I think here in Canada it is less of an issue, but an issue none the less.

    I think that word is used commonly among certain groups of people.

    I personally do not hear that word very often at all, but I choose to not associate with people who would use thoes kinds of words.


    This makes me remember another interesting thing.....

    At my christmas party a few years ago, it was a mixed group. Mostly white people, about 5 black people and a few asians. One couple was a black guy who was a porn star, and his white, middled aged, very normal looking wife.Even tho the black peopl edidn't know each other...they all took to hanging out together in their own small corner of the party. All these people were my friends, and I found it interesting and almost hurtful that they choose to stick together and not hang with the rest of the party.
    I always wondered why?
    Not one single person at this party was the slightest bit prejucticed...I always just was curious about why that happened....my party became racially segrated.....

    And I sorta felt liek a bad host that it happened that way...but every attempt at bringing the party togetehr would fail, as the black people would always end up going off on their own....I know they couldn't have felt unwelcomed...maybe they felt uncomfortable? But there were many other nationalities at this party...

    Sorry....slight offtopic

    ^^ Yea I've seen the same thing. And also today I went to a new student orientation and a black professor was talking to the audience, and there was about 8 black ppl in the audience (so weird being in the southwest, lol) and I swear to god ALL of them were REALLY INTO the professor. Didn't seem to matter if she was a boring speaker...

    People are all so weird. All kinds of ppl act abnormally. When you think about it, my mom saw segragated bathrooms in Georgia at the age of 12, it's just so foreign to us bc it's never been around in our lifetime, the fact that we were separated once.

    A few more generations have to die off...that's my general theory. Our generation gets a lot of "backlash", which is very bizzare attitudes and racial remarks like the one made to you, out of fucking nowhere.

    I read in the paper that there was a surge of Neo-Nazis in NM....um alright, but where are the jews and black ppl to be fighting against.

    I don't think I could raise kids somewhere not mixed.

    I've heard this numerous times and responded in different ways. Alot of custies don't know I'm part Black and make so many stupid remarks. They piss me off so much, I turn into Super Stripper and then let them know their money is going to a Black woman !
    I have serious issues with racism..My father is brown skinned and I had to deal with this crap all my life ! Every time people would see me with him they'd think he'd kidnapped me or that he'd slept with a White woman. There were several times we heard nasty remarks from people. Even more when I'm with family members.
    I also blame rap music to a point, I hear kids of all calling races each other nigga all the time..Even in the public library, it's every where.
    My new love...is me !

    Actually....My dads side of the family was very racist. It was just how they were raised. My dad frowned down upon...now..was disgusted by mixed couples. Reffering to their childred as N***er babies and such.....How they were screwed because neither race would want them and they would be outcasts from society forever....

    Then several girls on that side of the family became pregnant with and had biracial children. At first the family was disgusted and threatened to disown them. Then the children were born. And loved by all. It makes me very happy to see thoes racist walls broken down.

    One of my cousins actually married a woman with a biracial child, and he adopted the child as his own. And the whole family loves and accepts that kis as if he were just another part of the family. It's so nice to see...such a drasitc change from when I was growing up around them....

    One time one of my uncles on that side of the family bought all us girls black baby dolls as a joke. And I remember my dad and uncles all making horrible jokes...which ended with the baby dolls getting burned in the bonfire. So that family has come a long way.

    I have heard the N-word from some of the more uh, rustic people of rural Montana. But I just look at them like, Christ, you probably haven't been out of your native county, have you? The sad thing is that's the truth. People still poach deer and grow their own food out here. It's like 1930.

    When I was growing up in and around NYC, I seldom heard white people use the word. It just wasn't socially acceptable in those integrated, mostly-middle-class communities.

    However. When I started dancing in working class/blue-collar bars, in New England and Alaska, I started to hear all kinds of blatantly racist shit spewing from the mouths of people I had thought were okay up until the moment that ugliness crossed their lips. I was horrified--It made me feel sort of tainted for having liked someone who could think it was even remotely okay to say such things. To be honest, it made me kind of wary of white folks in general.

    I'd just like to peek my head in here real quick and add that people who don't say the n-word can still be racist.

    I had simular experiencies as a child. Everyone thought i was adopted because my mum is brand spanking white and I was obviously black at that timehen. We lived in a town on 80,000 plus white people and about 10 people of colour.

    When I met my dad 2 years ago we got a lot of stares too. I think people thought I was his younger girlfriend or something, not his daughter. He is very black and now I seem to be whiter looking. No one said anything though.
