Re: I was called a n*gger this morning by a White man, in the U.S. in 2007, for no reason

Yup. I'm just a normal guy here Boston, I hopped on the half-empty train headed for class and while on standing, moments later, all while minding my own business, with my bookbag, hands in my pocket, looking at and reading an ad with flyers attached to it, this burly White guy, who must've been in his mid-40's with a Red Sox cap on, starts mumbling, while every so often taking gulps of his ginger-ale soda, says "fcukin' n*gg*r." I turned my head to look at him, then look around, then back at him, with one raised eyebrow, unsure if that's what he really said and so he took another slow swig of his drink while looking at me then looking away; put his drink down and said "you heard what i said, what are you gonna do about it?" while still looking away. He then continued to mumble away at something else; never establishing eye contact with me again.As the train pulled-up at my stop, i stood in front of the train doors, blood boiling, pissed as fcuk, but not showing it, I'm ready to get off and i hear a voice tell from the side saying, "You were the bigger man." I turned and saw some Spanish guy, telling me this, and i said, "you noticed?" and he said "yea, wow" then I said "it's ok" when it fckin' wasn't. We got off the train and he goes "you did the right thing by ignoring that a-hole" And i'm like, in my mind, "man, leave me the fcuk alone, man." while telling him not to worry about it. We then went our own separate ways.
I'll admit, i wasn't myself coming in. I'm not racist against Whites but every White person I've seen so far today had a bullseye on their face that i wanted to punch a bloody hole through. I guess i'm ok now..I still don't think all Whites are racist, but why is this stuff still going on? Why is this stuff still happening to me...in 2007, in the U.S. I mean, I didn't do anything to that guy.
Maybe the man was joking around or he just let it slip.Some people are racist but it is strange because alot of black people call each other that and it is no insult but when a white person calls a black person that there is a promblem.This I don't understand and never will.jm 😕

It's nice you've learned to use the quote function. Now all you need to do is learn to read the post you're quoting before you talk about it.

maybe we don't want you to understand
this kinda thing is really no surprise. surf on youtube for a while you'll run across some of the most narrowminded comments comming from equally narrowminded people.
it's disgusting but it's out there. best way to deal with it is teach others (particularly our youth) to have thier morals. to be tolerant and understanding of one another without passing judgement based on apperance. and to be open minded and level headed.
well he supports the red sox so he's bound to be ignorant and politically incorrect. (jokes to anyone out there who's a red sox fan lol, i'm english though so i know nothing about baseball)
not every white guy's like that man, don't ever think that. the majority of us detest racism in any form, like you said it's 2007. there's always going to be the odd racist tw.at, but there sure as hell are less of them today than there were 50-60 years ago.
