double standards on racism

Oprah was on today, and she got me thinking. The show was called Black Women Dating White Men: It's Something New! Part of the show was about this romantic comedy called Something New, in which a black woman falls in love with a white man.

Why is it, that it’s funny when a black man bitches about a black woman dating a white man. But when it’s a white man bitching about a white woman dating a black man, it’s racist ?

I don’t get that.

See, white people always get blamed for racism for anything really. Isn't it even so that white people can’t even say black, but they have to say colored or African-American, but black people can still call white people white instead of Caucasian ? Talk about double standards.

All these little rules about which words white people can and cannot use - it's ridiculous. I get that white people can't say nigger to a black person. But why do black people have to call each other that ? It's not a nice word - whether it's said by a white or a black person.

I guess it also has to do with the tone of voice and the situation it's used in, but really, white people can't use it - ever, and black people can.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, that you shouldn't be a fucking hypocrite by telling some people can and some people cannot use a certain word. Allow it, or don't. Hypocrisy is despicable - for white and for black people.

And getting back to what I started this useless post with, I guess we also don't really care when black men bitch about the race issue, because they're often a lot funnier than white people, who often tend to seem very radical when bitching about black people. But when you think about it, it's not funny either way.

Of course Oprah invited a few typical black men to discuss the subject "Black women dating white men". And they weren't racist at all. Nope. They were just saying that,

"seeing a black woman and a white man together felt like a loss to the black community" [yeah, because she is now dead of course...or at least as good as...]

"maybe it was about the money" [yeah, it could never be about love right ?]

"why is she dating outside her range ?" [what the fuck does that even mean ?]

That doesn't sound racist at all, right Oprah ? And that's why you probably laughed, as did the audience, and kept on yapping and laughing. Oh, inviting the most narrow-minded unintelligent bunch of black men was a very good idea of your team. Bravo ! Give them all raises.

I guess people are overall more acceptant of black people being racist, than white people - and I'm asking you, why ? Because I for sure as hell can't think of a reason.
