You said so yourself, people bully within their own race, they beat people within their own race etc. So a crime in itself isn’t always race related. You need proof it was to say so. Like any other accusation.

The victim is the one who declares something a hate crime. From there I believe you need some kind of evidence. My personal standard would be this: If there’s video of the guy yelling racial slurs as he beats you, it’s a hate crime. If he has nazi apparel it’s pretty clear too. Anything less...

You can’t prove what’s in someone’s heart. Especially not in a legal sense. No one would want a judge to determine someone’s emotions and intentions for them. You need PROOF to convict someone.

I see our disconnect. Your claim is that white people don’t know what it’s like to work in this country from a disenfranchised perspective. My phrasing is unclear. My apologies. I disagree with myself when I say “racism helped you.” That sentence doesn’t express what I’m trying to say. A...

1. I left nothing out. 2. I gave you personal experience. Being in a non white enviornment and being treated about as poorly as possible. You’re not processing this. 3. White peoples get turned down for promotions too. Sometimes they’re turned down more than twice before they get it. 4. If...

He tried to dismiss my experience with racism (office bullying) and argue it might not be racist because whites may do it to other whites. I pointed out that his experience could be dismissed by the same standards since white people steal credit and try to smash others to get ahead with each...

There are no excuses for putting a knife to someone. Hearing language like “ all you whites have ever done...” shows that you’re a lost cause. I’m sorry you’ve been through pain and I’m sorry certain white individuals made you feel this way. It does not justify hating all white people.

I was referring to this comment: “You ever work in a predominantly white environment as a Black person you see the obvious racism occurring. It has never failed in my personal experience. When a company is diverse you rarely if ever see it as whites feel uncomfortable being obviously racist...

No one says they know how black people feel. Or gay people. Or women. Most people have something that makes them different and causes scorn. None of us know exactly what the other persons struggle feels like. Doesn’t mean we can’t relate on some level, or get the occasional glimpse into each...

I’ve seen black people bully each other. You just decided that bullying can’t be racist. I’m glad you settled that for society. I guess white people bullying black people can never be racist. You don’t believe that. You’re taking this stance because this convo is easier for you if you can...

Work place bullying doesn’t mean racism? Do you have the same standards when it comes to black people?

Once again, they experience it on a different level. They still experience it. You don’t achieve anything by deflecting it when it happens. Just look at this board. A guy tried to deflect and dismiss a story where a black person put a knife to a white guy by arguing “yeah, but white people...

So, the racist person was fired and you advanced. My experience with racism in the work place went totally without consequences and was more childish to begin with. Yet, you think you understand the pain of racism in the work place and I don’t. Keep this in mind next time you start this...

It sound like you’re black. Correct me if I’m wrong. Tell me if this resembles your experience: When I was young and new to LA I got a low income sales job. The company was owned by Iranians and most of the employees where minority’s. On my first day they gave me a chair and told me how...

You don’t. You wouldn’t be able to answer the same question at a place where they made up 20% (yes, I worked for one) Which is my point. The numbers game I see people playing is stupid. All you can do is call out individuals when you see them being racist. This extra mile where people turn on...
