Racism...

I have been called racist things before and I don’t care, it just depends who it is that’s saying the racist things. If its somebody I know, I don’t care. It depends who its saying it and what they’re saying, if its somebody I know I don’t say anything. But if its somebody I don’t know, I usually just ignore them, and don’t say anything, or I just go some where else. If I saw somebody saying something racist to somebody else I tell them to leave the person alone.
I had problems b’4 I came to Canada, I got called things from people from my own country, but i never did something. Until one time I got called something that I didn’t like, my oldest brother was there with me, he didn’t do anything. I got into a fight with this guy that was racist to my family and friends, I broke his nose and he told me that he wasn’t going to ever do it again, but he f****d that up. That was the last time he did that, my oldest brother, my best friend and I, saw him one day and he say something bad, he was with three other of his friends, I kicked his A**, his friends just watched it happen. They didn’t do anything, because it didn’t have anything to do with them. I did something about it...

Racism=judo Kick!

Racism has affected many of people, I’ve witnessed many situations. This situation I have acted against racism.

It was grade 7 and it was the second day of school. We were walking towards the bus at 3:30, this kid who was older then us, he was black. My friend and I were walking and he was approaching us, and no lie, he kicked her straight into the stomach and I asked what his problem was (maybe threw in some more graphic words) and he started to say racist things, such as “why are you wearing muck lucks, you’re whiter the snow”, and began to say stereotypes to my friend. He wasn’t saying these thing to me but to my friend. This is where things got ugly, he began to say things to me now. He kept repeating “I f--ked your grandma” and something along the lines of imbreaders. My fighting senses came in and in the matter of 5 seconds I threw my backpack and grabbed this boy by his collar and threw him to the ground. I started screaming and cursing as I sat on him and consistently punching his face with my fists! He started to cry but i didn’t care, i was so angry at him for being racist to my friend and just for saying things to me that were inappropriate. He was suspended after I beat him up.

I guess I should have approached this situation a little differently but I think fighting solves a lot of problems. I am not ashamed, or apologetic to this boy. I could recommend to approach situations like this without fighting the person or persons, but I would be a hypocrite. Just judo flip these kids, I’m serious. Seriously.

RACIST

We where sitting in the class room just starting are ELA class. the teacher was talking to one of the students asking his email address and one guy can in form a different class to get his books and said to the whole class "don't trust him he's brown" no one really did that much we all just said that he was benign really racist and should stop because no one really care what color someones skin is. that's my racist experiences its was not that big or drastic but that's the only racist event i have ever seen.

Racism Black kids

This one time a band camp I was polishing my flute when I seen out of the corner of my eye a bunch of black men started pushing around a chubby white boy named derek. Later derek was saying how black people are always so mean but I thought that was very racist because not all black people are that way. But then derek said why is it always the black kids pushing me around and I said it isn't just black people every body likes pushing you around.

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.
