The Racist that Rocks the Cradle

Over the last couple years, I’ve been hearing comments like these more and more:

“Black people just blow everything way out of proportion”

“Black people think everyone is racist, I wish they’d just stop playing the race card”

If this is true, my dear enlightened friends, how do you explain the abundance of offensive material posted online daily? Ok ok, those posts are really offensive, they’re just funny, right? They’re just all in good fun. Fine, think what you want. But now let’s look at people's comments on these posts.

Here’s just a taste. Just one example.

Original Post: Sparkling Wiggles (aw, how cute!)

Offensive? Not offensive? It doesn’t even matter at this point, because here are some of the comments on CollegeHumor.com:

• Best video ever?
• if i have a daughter, that will be her...
• sparkling wiggles stole my car.
• that sparkling wiggle ain't mah baby-daddy
• sparling wiggles are so lazy

...And a couple comments posted on this video

• These people need to chill out. That was hilarious! "Little white devil woman" When you took off the glasses I nearly fell off my chair!
• WHITE POWER MUTHA FUCKER!

Keep 'em laughing, right?

Thanks to the Internet of 2007's wonderful but perhaps counterintuitive blend of huge social networks and available anonymity, cowards can take their skulking selves to a computer and roam free! And wow, there are so many… who knew?! (anyone with some color did, that's who...)

Wow, I missed that one and in a way I'm glad I stumbled upon your blog today. I'm glad you were so honest and to the point. I usually try to not even get all into these debates (to some degree) for the reasons you mentioned. "Black people are too sensitive", "Black people are always crying racism," blah blah blah. It get's old and annoying, but you still did what you felt like you had too. That was just pathetic.
And you know what, remember the video circulating with the 2 little black boys smoking blunts? Remember how outraged everyone was about that? How the masses were disgusted by that blatant act of child abuse and endangerment? I don't recall anyone defending that crap and accusing others of being "lame" or "uptight". Well to me this is the same dang thing. The same way it hurt deep in my gut to see those little boys being polluted by adults, it hurt deep in my gut to see that little girl be polluted. I'm not just Black, but I'm a mother as well and I must say I can't ever remember a moment where I was so hurt and offended on both levels.
It's sad.
