slackjack; if you have so much money and power and you CHOOSE to look like that, you deserve to be made fun of

slackjack There is a difference between natural skin colour and too much fake tan. Otherwise I would agree with you.

He pretty much normalized bigotry and hatred, empowering people to let their racist flag fly, so to speak.

It's a miracle that it's not even worse than it is to be honest. To have a blatant racist in office is a confirmation to stupid bigots that their views are widely accepted. Which they are not, racism is an extremist view of the world. I hope people will learn, once and for all, that having money is in no shape or form a guarantee that the owner has a clue about the world. Donald Trump is not this savvy business man, he was lucky coming from money and having a name people associated with this family. That's all there is. And to be relatively succesful in real estate, like his father was, does not require rocket science either. These are not smart people. They just learned a few tricks and could not explain what they really did anyway.

Trump is a very symbolic book cover of AmeriKKKa. The core of the problem is not Trump, but the nation that elected him. White AmeriKKKa is rotten to the core. Word-And-i...f7c981.jpg

The enabler for all your people's b******t.

No, varwenea, it has not actually "become so much worse" .... the 4 year Liberal media meltdown/temper tantrum IS to blame. Obama was terrible--thank God there are term limits.

Varwenea, How is it worse? More blacks working and less on welfare than ever before. That is bad? How has Trump hurt blacks? Racism is worse? Prove it.

@varwenea I'm no fan of the trump, but I find it ironic that in a post on racism, it's okay to make fun of a person's skin color. :D

The only thing that has gotten worse is the hateful rise of BLM!

You are right, countries in war are a different matter tough. I was speaking about "peacefull" places. If you can call that peacefull. First world countries if you like. Countries, where it should be safe for everyone to live in, not only white people. Countries where everyone who is willing should get the same chance at a good life.

Um what!?!?! Are you serious? How can someone possibly say there is not this much hate in other countries!? I am baffled by these comments on bored panda anymore. Do you have any clue what happens to people in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, etc.. What am I reading right now!?!

As for crossing the street, I will do that to ANY man. After being assaulted, I don't take chances.

Germans WILL stare at black people. Quite rudely. But we just do it because we are curious. If you talk to us, we will be polite. .... most of us. I think my and my husbands Generations (1984 and 1974) and the ones after us are very open.

You are right. Racism is everywhere. BUT definitely not on this scale! One simple example: Germany does not ask your race when you apply for school/ a job/ anything at all!

Have you ever stayed in Africa, Bill? what is this based on?

What's your intention with throwing out that accusation? Doing anything you can to try to make black people look bad, or like they deserve this treatment? Hey, I can list numbers too: Of the 758 inmates in a particular men's prison, a disproportionate number of both child molesters and rapists were white (n = 171 vs 35 black men).

thats because the majority of them are in prisons for crimes they either did not commit or they commited a crime so innocuous that they should have gotten a few months, but because of systemic racism, they get literal years instead.

As she says, there are plenty of white dolls to choose from but only one or two that are black or mixed race. There are plenty of greeting cards with white couples on them, a few with black couples, and NONE with interracial couples. What do you not understand?

Still imagine being a person of color and never having your race be represented. That would hurt.

@blugeagua, but if Christmas cards are your best (or worst) example, you are not making a point come across very clearly and are taking away the attention from the real problem.

It comes down to many forms of adverstising too. Imagine being a black kid, watching tv and only seeing white people with the nice toys and driving the fancy cars. That is improving slowly now, but for a long time, coloured people just didn't appear in most ads.

There aren't as many, that is for sure, especially in brick-and-mortar stores. Personally, I like the Mahogany line of cards for this, and African American Expressions has many great cards and gifts.

Oooh, prepare to be eviscerated **Edit~ why the downvotes? You disappoint me Pandas? Rissie just proved the point of the post. What is not "an actual problem" to whites is passive aggressive racism to minorities

Grumble O'Pug ~ Exactly. Did the Pandemic draw out the bad people to our formerly lovable Panda?

People can make additional or side points... who are you? The points police?
