Snatch Steal Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 http://www.buzzfeed.com/tracyclayton/how-and-why-and-what-for#.bvzxxV7oBV I think it's pretty dang funny and true, and it's really hard to be offended by it if you've watched half of an MLK documentary. I mean, really, is it not true? But anyway, most white people would be offended by this, particularly those in the comments section (despite how they try to say they're not), and it's kind of sad funny, I think. After all, most of it was either 1). A joke or 2). A misunderstanding as far as some white people are concerned. I myself am white as a sheet, yet it's still well coordinated to me. Certainly not all white people are racist/follow these stereotypes, but the reason the stereotypes exist is because there are people who ARE like that, and even if we have something in common with them, we still are not them; however, generalizing probably gives closure, and if you're offended, there's this big red "X" at the top of your web browser, and you're welcome to press it.

ENMaker Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 "Reverse racism" shouldn't even exist as a term. But anyway, a reason these annoy people is Buzzfeed have gone and done X Questions Black/Asian/Native American/white people have for white people but not done anything with questions directed at any other race. They're not offensive or anything in themselves but if they want to do this whole throwing around stereotype thing it should be both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snatch Steal Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Holy sheet I'm not banned yet? Jesus christ bless Just seems like harmless fun which people on the internet are overblowing because it's the internet. Same Buzzfeed article. Either it's some uneducated schmuck or its for fun. I've heard things about buzzfeed although I haven't had much exposure to it so I looked at this without any hindsight I am one of the whitest beings alive and I follow at least 5 of these things. Also toady I <3 u bb you're like a smaller me and I need a kohai Senpai~ "Reverse racism" shouldn't even exist as a term Thanks Let me happily proclaim that this is the funniest s*** I've read in a minute bruh. And secondly, Imma need answers to numbers 2 through 34. xD Let me try [spoiler=I spent 15 minutes on this while eating a burrito] 2. I dunno, we just don't really have a lot of dancing blood in us, I guess. Ballroom dancing is the only history of dancing white people really have, and that's not exactly swaggy 3. Who the funk is trying to touch hair? like, at all? I don't wanna touch white hair, asian hair, mexican hair, irish hair, (almost) any hair 4. Because most characters portrayed on television are white, so people are surprised when a person of color is cast. Or they want it to be as accurate as possible??? Not an excuse but that's probably why 5. This is bull. I almost threw a fit at this 6. I hate sports so idk 7. I hate sports so idk 8. What the funk is a jesus sandal 9. Not sure if this is a joke or something I really need to read up on 10. they think they can twist its meaning to be nice and push the whole racism thing under the rug ugh 11. holy sheet yes it's literally amazing I want to marry it 12. I'm not, but I can't speak for the people who watch it 13. What's gluten? I guess white people are just in general concerned about looking good, like the average white celebrity or something 14. Yeah, and they're pretty normal tbh 15. ...like, a towel? Um, we do. Sometimes we even throw on a bathrobe. THAT should be the concern more than not using one. 16. Because we're either 1). Really really racist garbage, or 2). See cool black people who we look up to calling their friends that and feel excluded. 17. Why are we racist? Easy: Poor decision making. I don't watch horror movies, so that was just a joke; I don't know. 18. Probably not tbfh 19. I haven't read her twitter feed, nor do I believe in boycotting, so I'll take Fancy and run away 20. Well, since we don't usually get pulled over in the first place (and since we also don't talk sheet to the police due to mutual respect), I guess it goes unnoticed. I hate the police sometimes, but I would also hate a world without them, tbh 21. I hate sports so idk 22. The real question is why we like Whip/NaeNae so much... 23. Please pronounce kakenuketeshimaeba on the first try. Please.PS: It means to stop running. to stop running. 24. I've had pierogi casserole but that's about it so idk 25. See Gluten 26. Because they're trying to look like they're furries because obviously furries wouldn't do stuff that furries would obviously do or else people would know they're furries 27. White attracts the least amount of heat. It's why we can't dance. 28. ...Is there a nice way to put it?? 29. who says this even. i go to private school in the deep south and i have heard no one say this. who funking says this. 30. Well, big ass was actually really popular during the middle ages or something, where having money meant having food, and having food meant being fat. The fashion, though; that's on us. 31. What's living single? What's friends? 32. Because we see the sheet that minorities have to put up with and we think "nuh-uh I ain't doin this" 33. I dunno, people who wanna be in the military probably like them cause it makes them feel tough 34. You'd be surprised............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snatch Steal Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I don't want to spam but I legit read that as Ritz Cracker and I was wondering what was racist about not liking them. Don't people refer to the Ritz Carlton as a super expensive hotel or something, and aren't Ritz Crackers mildly inspired by the Ritz Carlton, and aren't white people stigmatized to be rich? Also they're about the same color as a white person who lives near the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 "Cracker", for the record, does not mean the salted, crunchy and ofttimes white snack. It refers to a person who cracks the whip - a whip-cracker if you will - a reference to overseers during slavery. In America, there exists a certain number of people who through no great coincidence happen to be white that have inherited profits from slavery, because, y'know, reparations never happened. Hence, "f*** that rich cracker". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epicmemesbro Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 It gets worse, Buzzfeed made an article claiming that there were certain things in gaming that straight white males could not understand. Obviously this pissed off a lot of straight white male gamers: http://www.buzzfeed.com/dangolding/xx-things-you-need-to-know-about-gender-and-identi-275yo#.wse3zgzz7 Forbes' made an article in response to this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2016/02/29/apparently-the-trick-to-video-game-writing-is-making-straight-white-gamers-angry/ Buzzfeed is known for race-baiting, ironically people like them accuse straight white men of race-baiting. Their recommended articles on the sidebar of the Buzzfeed article proves this. Is this racist? No. Is this ignorant? Yes. Is this motivated by racial/sexual orientation ''social justice'' for the point of sensationalizing some obscure non-existent issue? Definitely.
