Everyone stereotypes in some form or fashion. It's natrual. It's human nature. That doesn't make you a racist. It just a makes you ignorant.

It seems that if one race stereotypes a specific race then they automatically get labeled a racist. That's dumb. You have to look at the bigger picture. The context and the intent.

I feel bad for white people at times because there is an unwritten rule that they can't stereo type no matter what.

Terms got muddied. Every racist is a bigot, but not all bigots are racists. If you aren't able to perpetuate a system, then you just a failure who hate
people for....some reason. Doesn't matter what it is.

It's like if I look at a hood rat and she walks, talks, and acts like one. I'm calling a spade a spade.
If a non-black breh does it, he is called a racist even if he is pointing out the same thing. I don't know why, it just is the way it is.

The truth is though, while we may pass judgment on our own and stereotype, our overall image of that person may still be far more positive than someone
non-black who may take that behavior as some grand negative that all black people embody.

For perspectives sake, I may look at ole girl from around the block with her Juicy pants and sassy demeanor and understand that she just likes urban fashion,
her household was a bit more loose with how they spoke to each other (hence her sass) and while she *might* be a little annoying, she is still a decent person
who is simply into something I am not.

From the perspective of, say, a white male...he may or may not find that same behavior to be, in his mind, subhuman and deplorable. He basically invents this whole
negative image simply because he doesn't identify with our daily life. Meanwhile he probably wouldn't dare compare his drunken, slutty cousins from the Bayou to
that sista on the corner because he still subconsciously thinks "White people are better."

We are put in a position more often than not of assuming the slick talk IS a racial dig, cause the alternative is letting other folks get too comfortable talking that shyt
to our faces. It is what it is. Blame racists for making basically every fabric of our being have to be analyzed first by our melanin, THEN by our character. They did that shyt, not us.


TL:DR The alternative is accepting ALL comments about your people and running the risk of becoming a punching bag cause you never draw a line when people pop shyt RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
