You had to be taught in school to treat everybody the same? Someone really had to teach you that?
Honestly, certain sentences in your posts definitely tells me you're a racist trying way too hard not to come off as one. If you aren't one, great. Just stop trying too hard because if you aren't a racist you won't be making racist remarks anyway and it won't come off as if you're deliberately trying to hold something back. It won't sound "forced."
And while the tone of your voice or a certain look won't hold up on court, it can certainly be interpreted as racism by certain over sensitive people who love to pull the race card and sooner or later you meet a person like that.

There are cases of black people getting skin cancer. Especially on the lighter parts of their skin. Bob Marley died from skin cancer IIRC

The first half was funny in a racist not seriously racist sort of way, with your rich community and your friend being fired at a KFC for racism (lawl). Your reaction seems reasonable, it's just idiot people complaining about whatever they can. I'm still against calling black people african american, they are like 10 generations removed, they arent african anymore, just american and black, icall myself white does it matter? no. Do they call black people in Europe African Europeans ? I dont think they do :/

To be honest, OP sounds like some robot designed to be a douche. "I was taught to treat everyone the same so that's what I did treat everyone the same."
How about some common sense? Black kids not needing as much sun screen as white kids is not racist, it's (supposedly) a fact.

Maybe it wasn't racist but pointless to force him have it regardless. It's like forcing everyone have same sized life jackets or something, obviously if you weigh less you can get away with a lighter one. And if your skin is well resistant to sun you might not need sunlotion.

Here's some more articles in support of the OP:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5219752.stm
"Although the disease is less common, when it does occur it is typically more aggressive and diagnosed later, which leads to more deaths..."
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001442.htm
"Skin cancer can develop in anyone, not only people with these risk factors. Young, healthy people -- even those with with dark skin, hair, and eyes -- can develop skin cancer."

I don't understand your analogy at all... you're saying that forcing a light person to wear a life jacket that would make them more buoyant than they would need to be is somehow a bad thing?
And it wasn't pointless. He's teaching that kid that he needs to wear sunscreen, even if he is dark skinned. Just because you can "get away with it" 99% of the time, doesn't mean you shouldn't still take preventative measures for that 1%. Especially if its something as simple as putting sunscreen on.

lol the op had to throw in that line, this has to be a troll.

before i start on the events that happened in your post, i must say. You sir, are clearly a racist and racism beams from your post. You say that not alot of blacks live in your neighborhood because its expensive and that you were suprised to see an african? why do you assume that black people cant afford to live in expensive neighborhoods? but, ignoring that for a minute,
what you did was really insensitive to black people. for white people to not be considered racist, they NOT ONLY need to know black history, black heritage, black accomplishments, black achievements, black physiology( the particular area you failed in), black culture, and black lifestyle. Not only do you have to know them, but you have to apply them to your life.
Let me explain to you why what you did was racist.
African people have more melatonin in the skin, which blocks sunlight and UV rays. Black people need up to 4x the amount of sunlight in the North American hemisphere than white people do to have the body produce the same amount of vitamin D , a crucial vitamin for reducing your chances of cancer.. In Africa, the sun is stronger and the africans get plenty of vitamin D but in NA, the sun is weaker so it takes more sun exposure. By forcing him to wear sunscreen you were being ignorant to black people and just sort of forgetting that your people enslaved our people for hundreds of years and stunted our collective development. Thats the problem with the average white person is that they dont take these things into consideration, and they are in denial about their racism.

LOLOLOLOLOL! This whole post was hilarious.

This just seems like a conglomeration of facetious statements instead of an actual argument. lol.

I'll be sure to remind africans to not sit in the shade in a hot summer day so they get their necessary vitamin D. I wouldn't want them to get cancer.

"I was taught to treat everyone the same so that's what I did treat everyone the same."
How about some common sense? Black kids not needing as much sun screen as white kids is not racist, it's (supposedly) a fact. Hence, the 'I was taught', if he didn't say anything about it with the black kid (am I allowed to say it that way on an American server?); he would be giving him other instructions than the other kids, who probably wouldn't want to wear that sticky stuff as well, based on his color; A.K.A. racist.
You say that not alot of blacks live in your neighborhood because its expensive and that you were suprised to see an african? why do you assume that black people cant afford to live in expensive neighborhoods? That's, as already said on the first page: stereotyping, not racist. It could've been: We don't have a lot of white trash rednecks living around here because it's expensive.
Oh, and zergplayerr; you're racist as well; you're dividing by color (melatonine), maybe without judgment, but nonetheless you're still treating them differently. Hence: racist.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race In other words; everyone who uttered the word melatonine, said something about skin and sunreflection is racist.
You might not be judging, but fact is; whites, asians and blacks have a different skintone. That's not a bad thing, it's something different.
I'm so tired by people pulling the race card; I certainly hope they're all bisexual; because otherwise they're all sexist.

Well, at least you know what to do next time. Hide the sunscreen bottle, and deal with a complaint of angry sunburnt people instead.
|
which is unusual because not many black people live around my area because it's expensive.
Maybe because you're saying stuff like that?
But in all seriousness, I think that kid was just a douche and uses racism as his own way of being discriminating towards other races.

No im dead serious, crackers always want to laugh and pretend racism doesnt exist. Do you think your ancestors were being "facetious" when they enslaved millions of africans?

haha, another nazi from europe. Africans cant be racist, only europeans, who are colonialist and imperialist in nature, can be racist
Racism = power + prejudice

I doubt this English muffin or any of his relatives enslaved anyone, I don't see why he needs to redeem himself by studying all of that. In fact I find this rather useless, no more important than any other exercise for your memory.

Even if my grandfather did in fact enslave your grandfather I wouldn't feel any different about it than I do now. If you look at things in perspective even after all these years it's still not clear whether bringing "civilization" to Africa was evil or advantageous.

Damn are you for real? That is maybe the most racist thing ive read on this whole post. when the white man came to africa, he brought disease and death with him. the white man pillaged the african continent and took out millions of africans for his own profit. the reason why africa is in such bad shape today is because imperialist european racists came over and ruined the continent. Believe me, we wish europeans would have stayed in there little continent. This thread is crawling with racism

Of course everyone can be racist, power has nothing to do with it either. You can derive your own formulas to support your delusions but they are just as worthless as your stone age vendetta. While some people are continuously whining about racism and hardships they face others shoot for the stars and become relevant and successful. Choose your own destiny.

Africa is in a better shape today than it ever was, I think you should go there and see for yourself. You can definitely point your finger at Sierra Leone or Liberia but it's not like they weren't eating human flesh and defecating in the streets before "white man" pillaged everything.
You can blame "white man" for the deseases, you can also blame them for AIDS (oh wait), you might also want to blame Asians for bird flu and chicken pox and something else. You can blame a lot of things but you can also blame your own lazy ass for wasting time complaining about it. Nothing stops you from becoming great, the obstacles you face these days are literally nothing. Any Polish immigrant was worse off coming to the US than you are now. Deal with it.
