The N Word

One day we were coming back from Saskatoon with Grandpa. I was bored so I started playing with the radio. I found my favorite station and there was a rap song on. Grandpa said " I bet this song is sung by a N-----" When we got home I showed him the music video and the guy was white.

Another thing he did was: a T.V. guide came in the mail and it had Will Smith on the front page he took A white marker put an X through his face and wrote n----- on it. It was kind of funny at the time then I discovered that it was wrong and told grandpa to stop but he said in a very Serious voice "Black people should be killed and anyone else that isn't white". He crossed the line and Grandma yelled at him. He has toned down the Racism but he will never learn how not to be racist.

Racism

Racism is very easy to notice. Especially to the person who is the one getting the racism aimed towards them. I was told a story one time by my cousin who has a different coloured girlfriend, they have a very interesting situation that some people seem to notice. They were walking through the mall one day just like a normal couple, they got many strange looks from all sorts of people. The old people who have been around racism all of their lives gave dirty looks. Teens the same race as my cousin, even glanced at the situation. The ones they really noticed were the other black people, who obviously had mixed emotions. Some would smile at the both of them but then the rest would give dirty looks as they walked by. What are these looks supposed to mean? Im sure if it was two white people walking together, no one would even notice they were people and continue walking. Racism can be very hurtful thing, even if it is just a look and nothing is even said.

Racism

One day in wellness class there was a racist event. Mrs. Olchowski was at the board writing lists of people in each group. There was groups of four that she put together. In my group there was three different races between the four people. One of the people in my group came to me and said: I can't believe I'm the only white person in my group. This was said with a very offensive tone. More racist comments were made. By the end of the conversation I was feeling angry. I was not impressed with the things that were said, or the way they were said. I expressed my anger by telling a few other students in the class. Then I decided to find a way to hopefully make the racist situation better. So, I told Mrs. Olchowski what had happened and she took it in her own hands.

I could have personally approached the person that made the offensive comment. I could have said to them why the comment was offensive and how it could make others feel bad. I could have told the person that it wasn't appropriate to say and that I would appreciate if they wouldnt say it again, at least in my presence.

Racism Story

Once in my cooking class there was a kid and he was probably the rudest person I've ever met. And he thought it would be appropriate, to ask the exchange student from Germany if she liked Nazi's. She got really angry and started yelling at him, and he started yelling at her, for yelling at him. Then I got mad, because I have a weird group of friends, some of them are Spanish, some are Indian, flillipino, and even a Native best friend. I've delt with lots of racism involving my friends, and I can't stand it when people are racist, towards others. So I pushed him out of the classroom, because he was leaning against the door. Then I told him to shut up, and then everyone in the class got into trouble, for being to loud, and not behaving.

I think if this situation happened again. I may do things differently. I might actually make a point, of getting him to shut up, instead of doing it quietly.

Old People?

My grandma is in her 80's and very racist. One day all of my family members went to visit her. We got on the topic of my brother going on his mission for our church. She then got babbling on on about how she doesn't want my brother to get sent to anywhere in Canada or America she said that she didn't anyone of her grandchildren to leave the states because it is too dangerous to leave North America. She also said that all of the Mexicans and Asians should go back to their own country. My dad started disagreeing with her and telling her that she was wrong. After awhile it was time for a subject change.

In future situations when racism is involved, I can confront that person/people and tell them how I feel about what they said or did.

Spanish no more!

One day dreas was siiting in the class room as kelly walked in. Elly looked at him and ran away and ran down the hallway saying there is a brown kid in our class. He called him paco an and the unpleasent "n" word. The kid that is kidding picked on may kick his butt and may say some white jokes but he will be the one that always will be picked on. Elly will always be racist because he doent know what to do he just will be an insecer SOB. If I was in dreas position I would go and complain to the princaple or just take matters into my own hands and kick his ass!

Racism, Your a Bad Man

It was a school day on a afternoon and the bell had rang, all of the students had sat at their spots at the table. A student had a bottle of hot sauce for some strange reason. People were saying it was very hot so everyone wanted to try it. A few students had tried some and were saying the same things. Then it got to one student and had tried some after he had tried it the student who was passing around the hot sauce had said “ Oh I don’t want it back now, he’s brown”.



I didn’t feel very good about this because it was a racist comment and in the beginning you should keep your comments to yourself but to say it in front of everyone is wrong and it is offensive. I myself did not do anything about it because everyone was throwing in their opinions about the situation and that we were not okay with it.
