edgy 6,918 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Just remember this. Whatever people say on the Internet, white people have the option of ignoring it and logging off the internet. People of color don't have that option. They don't get to just ignore it or log off because even if they choose to not let it effect them, racism is well ingrained into our government (police brutality), our media (low representation of people of color) and our society (micro-aggressions like a white person crossing the street when a black person is walking by). No matter what, this is something that they cannot escape. It's a situation that white people put them in. You may not have put them in specifically, but it's a situation that you continue to keep them in by doing nothing. Passivity is a form of oppression. By doing nothing, you are subconsciously accepting that the injustice happening today is okay as long as its not happening to you. And don't get me started about "we can't do anything about it ..." As a largely LGBT community who only just recently won the fight for same-sex marriage, it baffles me that this lack of empathy and compassion can exist.

Period. BUT y'all have to understand that when a PoC makes comments about white people, the worst thing that happens is that a white person gets their feelings hurt. When white people (who have pretty much always had the upper hand in society) have made comments and judgements about people of colour, it hasn't ended well (just open up your history textbook or watch the news). Both are bad, but the latter has more serious societal repercussions than the former. exactly, it's not ok to make bad comments about any race Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfNicole 177 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 2 hours ago, FlopSlut said: Yes they are extremelyyyyyyyy racist, whether they want to admit it or not Have you ever considered why that is? The bitterness and prejudice comments from some in the African American community typically stem from horrible experiences they have had with those who are white. The prejudice you see is hyper aggressive pride, that is brought on by being contextually (and sometimes outright) told to have no pride. The one thing I haven't seen mentioned this whole thread is that fact that this could have all been avoided if people didn't feel so entitled to their opinions. Given the heavy political content in the video, if you didn't like the song or video you could have simply let it be. You don't always have to mention you don't like something, it was implied by you simply leaving it be. Sure your entitled not to like the song, but belittling something that's meaningful to someone else is always going to cause a far amount of hateful comments. Doesn't make it right, but bottom line is try keep your negative opinions to yourself, it's not always necessary to criticize. In many ways your not contributing to the problem, but you surely aren't apart of the solution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

En_Sabah_Nur 9,356 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Funny - I always thought the same thing about some Gaga Fans.!!! ESPECIALLY on here... I have seen people on here make OVERTLY racist statements & either people laugh about it or no one would call them out on it! So I guess that's just the way of the world nowadays... *shrugs* Egypt.

FATCAT 58,948 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 This is so trivial. I hate discussions about race because they end up just like other BS terms. For instance, the use of 'true fan' and 'fake fan'. If you don't share someone explicit opinion, you're racist, and if you do, others will find you racist. Just like how true fan and fake fan get thrown around. The truth is, everyone has a small amount of prejudace, it's what makes us behavioral humans. I do think Beyonce is taking it a bit far, just getting people worked up, and her fans are taking it on like a mask and taking it even further. tl;dr Beyonce fans are taking a touchy subject too far, but that doesn't mean they're all racist.

So they can give out more WPs But, seriously, this thread is basically just trying to say Beyhive is racist because of a few mindless comments on a racial video. It's kinda immature for someone to see a random comment on the internet, go to a forum and make a thread about it + call Bey fans racist. I could honestly say the same for this fanbase but I guess it'd be wrong to because i'm apart of it. “For me, insanity is super sanity. The normal is psychotic.

DemeLarell 931 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Umm i fail to see the problem. Every race has racist. Thats something we have to acknowlege as a whole and say "f**k them." Look at racism as a individual thing instead of a group thing. OT: Yea it really angers me that some of them are racist. But in the post with her video in it i try to help people understand (of any race) but they just label it as dumb because they dont understand.

CatelynnMarie 4,243 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm not offended, but it annoys the f*ck out of me. I don't approve of, accept, or tolerate ANY forms of racism, judgements or bullying. I don't understand why people HAVE to talk sh*t. Appreciate your culture. Appreciate who you are as a person. Appreciate your gender, sexual orientation, height, weight, wealth, etc. Just don't steamroll over another human being by throwing hurtful things out there because honestly you look mentally unstable. Whenever someone talks sh*t about another person for shallow things like that, I look down at them personally. This whole race thing really needs to f*cking stop. Like it really is so petty and the more the world realizes how dumb they look by judging another human being for their skin color, the less of an issue it would be. I don't know, I just don't believe in that bullsh*t and it pisses me off seeing people attack each other for race. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want to be everywhere just cuz they're black (Oscars hype etc.), same as gay people, don't get me wrong I'm gay but it's just crazy how they wanna be everywhere and always play a discrimination card. There are bigger problems in this world. this. our planet needs more guys like you. I dont know who you are, where you are, but I am proud of you dude.
