Okay, so I had a hard time naming the thread, give me some slack, I didn't have a clue what to call it. ^_^

My brother (we're white) and I were working late at our retail store as always, when these two white dudes walked in at around 7:30 p.m. (it's night). One of them had turrets though, plus he was a coke dealer or something and hopped up on who knows what. After a while my bro chased them out, and we were both ready for a fight and had 911 ready to go. The guy also shouted something about shooting us while he was outside.

So we lock the doors, but let in people that aren't those two guys. This big black dude comes in soon after that, and suddenly my bro are both thinking "Oh, the big black guy is here, we're safe now, we don't need the cops just yet" Rofl. He was big too, my brother is large but this guy could take him easily, despite that we felt safe because this guy was calm and collected. Big guys don't fight either, they know they'll always go to jail. ^_^

We even told the dude we were glad he was there, and he was down with that too, but didn't need to say so nor did. Race has nothing to do with anything, there was a sense of insecurity among people of our own race, and security with someone of another race.

Tomorrow, it might be the exact opposite. Some black dudes come in acting all scary, then they leave and some older white gentleman with a conceal carry permit shows up, and now you feel safe. You know that dude's cool, he's not going to do anything, and he's certainly honest because most likely he's a man of faith. (Don't ask me why I had to go with a stereotype example...>.>)

It's about the person, not the color, and the guys I dealt with today were better dressed than the big dude that showed up later. You can just tell, you get the right vibe from someone, don't judge there appearance.

This thread was created in hopes that a real life situation may affect someone to think differently about a certain group of people they may dislike or even fear. Also, it was made so that people could say: "I agree", "F**k you", "tl;dr", "I think racism sucks", "Why don't racists kill themselves", "I don't want to live on this planet anymore", "The poster is gay", "Why don't Unicorns fly", "I like turtles" and to post random memes, get in a race war, then have my thread shut down... Thanks in advance. ^_^

Indeed it is, the first one is true, the second was a fictional scenario of course. ^_^

The story was intresting but I would surely like to know ur country in which u r residing..Its quite suprising to know in western countries even after about 150 years of the US civil war racism is still a prominent topic to be discussed...
Is the pride about our color is in our genes...

Well the world wld be hell of a shithole if everyone had the same views . . . . Different views are important for progress as it allows us to think in different ways which may lead to a better alternative or such (provided they dont bring more harm than good) . . . . but the problem is they should be taken as views and if people persist on the opposite even after a certain point is established they should be allowed to do so provided that no harm or conflict comes from it, as it is not right to enforce any perspective on anyone . . . .

Also ST i stuck around in this base long enough to make a rough estimation about your certain opinions . . . While I may disagree with them as u do with mine, u do so often respectfully enough and its only fair that I treat u the same in return.

Criminals are criminals. Every culture has them and they all suck equally.

I like you, I really really like you, you're my kind of people. ^_^ First paragraph is very well said, and I feel the same about the second, I'm also remembering who you are now. Just so you know, I'm actually always respectful of opinions, even though it doesn't always seem like it. All I really care about is what I'm doing...what someone else is doing is really no concern of mine, whether I have an opinion or not. I admit to being harsh though, it's who I am to a degree, but if it was said in-person it would sound a whole lot different than cold-hearted B/W text. ^_^

Yes I know bro, u act the way u act because u have conviction on your own path and that is good thing in my opinion (considering your kind of people are often misunderstood) ^_^ Also Thanks for the rep :)

The race of the person wasn't the point, it was the fact that said person was of another race is all. Though it is true that for some reason, my bro and I always end up hangin' with the black dudes somehow; we're generally accepted into that circle straight away. ^_^

A passion for one's opinions and goals promotes change and progress in the grand scale. As long as there are people with lots of different opinions all trying to get where they're going, then that will create friction which sharpens the blade. Sword sharpens sword in this particular case.

However, I really find debating to be pointless. It's best to just ignore it because people just can't keep a cool head. >.> I prefer action over words any day.

Nice thread.
Always judge people individually based off of their behaviour..not their appearances and/or background
