i'm getting so ANGRY!

Jackson's chick friends are making me SO angry!

okay since i'm in a interracial relationship. i never relized how racist people are, and how much they are agasint it.

ever since i started to date Jackson, his chick friends keep on saying racial comments about me. and some of them are even white!

to his chick friends i am ALWAYS consider "white girl" like some ill be like "oh she's a white girl"

it makes me so angry. and makes me feel SO low!

i don't wan't it to get to me though, because i don't care what they think. but it's the fact that they are so close-minded. it's unreal! i NEVER thought people whould say racial stuff towards me. and it hurts. it really does.

i've NEVER thought that kind of way with ANY of his friends, OR MY friends.

it's not about their color, it's about them, and what their personalty is like. but he told me he wasnt gonna tell me that. but it makes me wonder what eles they call me.

the first time i heard i just laughed it off. but it's more common now.

but yeah.

It's true that people don't always know what they are saying - they can be completely innocent in saying something but they say like "the black guy" or whatever.

I know also that there is a lot of prejudice? or something about black men looking for white women and black women looking for white men...... within the black culture.

Personally, I could care less who does what. I am pretty liberal in those areas and voice my opinion often (like recently someone made fun of our gay vet - we love him - they shutup quickly lol).

It might be innocent or not and it's not right if it's meant bad - not great if it's just a stupid comment - but you gotta toughen up to it. We have a mixed couple in the family and they have to deal with a lot all the time. I really like the black person more than most of that side of the family :lol: That really irritates some of my inlaws too! :angel: They are a bunch of rednecks.

Just be happy with you and yours and ignore the morons. :drunk:

yeah that's true. i know alot of people who are mixes. and one that people called a Zebra. i felt so bad for her.

as you know Jackson is Muslim. so it's pretty much worse. although he's not full middle eastern. his dad is Russian. but his religion is muslim. so it's a lot harder now with all the racial stuff going round bout him. though none of my friends say anything mean about him. though i know my "uncles" will (behind his back of course) because they are racist pigs. i hate them, they only talk to you when they want money for drugs.
but my parnets and brother like him, thats all that matters, right? if him and i get along and we love each other, and our family likes each other.

i just never relized before how close-minded a lot of people are. not intil i got labeled as "that white girl" <_<

One of my inlaws didn't even go to the wedding of this couple because he didn't agree with it.

You do have a double whammy with Jackson.... just stay strong.

it's so sad when people are like that where they think by them not going to a wedding or something it's gonna hurt them.


yeah it's gonna be very hard, but i Member this quote. "I don't care what you think of me, can't be half as bad as what i think of you." and i have it up on my myspace. hopefully they see it.

Racial comments are everywhere and it's sad that people can't except others for what they are!

I used to attend a church but stopped attending once the new pastor came aboard as he takes his authority a little too much!

My cousin's sister (Tangela's sister) got preggers before she got married and wanted to get married before she had the baby. So she went to the pastor of the church as asked from him to marry her and her fience'. Keep in mind she was maybe a month along and attended church every Sunday. Her fience' would attend church on a regular basis and was a believer. However, at the time he hadn't been baptised so the pastor wouldn't marry them. He also wouldn't give them marriage counseling or allow her fience' to be baptised in his church.

Recently 2 longtime members of the church decided to file for a divorce. The husband had been starting to steal etc and the wife wanted out of that situation. So the pastor wanted to have a meeting with the husband. When the man arrived for the 'meeting' he was greeted by a total of 6 people in the office. The MINSTER told the fellow that he was no longer allowed to attend first service and was only allowed at second service. He also told him he was going to have an assigned seat IN CHURCH! The pastor then proceeded to talk to the wife who has been playing the piano in church for many years. He told her that she was no longer allowed to play the piano until her divorce was final. The pastor wouldn't even give them marriage counseling when the road was bumpy and they asked.

In this particular pastor's case he has been stepping over his authority line. He came out front during the canidate period and said that a women is not allowed to stand behind the pulpit in his church. That there should have been a 'sign' that he was going to be controlling over the church of 300 people at a service in a rural area! So it's a big church!

I guess my point here is that racial comments/actions happen all around us even from those we least expect them from. Those that we look up to in times of need tend to shoot us down but not assisting in a time of need.

You live your life and don't let other's turn you down unless it's for a good reason that will help in the future. Just keep your head above water! I have to say, I'm proud of you for looking past what other's might consider as a 'bad' and seeing the good in someone. That takes a lot especially since the anger of 9/11 is still in many hearts.

Great Job Amanda! Congrads on graduating high school as well! :clap:

wow, i didn't even think that pastors, or the ministers (i dont go to church, so i don't know the difference) had that much power in where people can sit, or whatever. :wacko:

thanks, i was brought up not to look at their color, but their personalty. and honestly when i talked to different races and are differnt color than Cacasion. i don't even notice it.

my friend is even in a Interracial Relationship.
she's El Salvadorian, and he's Cacasion. she said she didn't even relize it till i brought it up when i watched True Life: I'm in an Interracial Relationship. and that got me to relize that i was, and so was she.

and thanks again! LOL

To say the least that man is no longer attending church there.

glad that he's no longer there

I just woke up when I wrote my last post so I want to do a clarification.

The pastor is still with the church. However, the man that was being controlled of his church attendence has since left the church.

ohhhh
