Are White People Ever Unfairly Labeled?

My dad's still an alcoholic, and has always been extremely violent. Same thing with the rest of the fucks in his family.

I think I know what causes our difference in opinion, lol

 

It's definitely all becoming clearer now. LOL On a serious note, I'm sorry about your dad, DH. You deserve better than that. :smt056

 

Same here

 

I have been labeled racists before, and yet somehow life went on.

Once when it was late and I was going to get my mail. There was a bm getting his mail and I didnt immediately get out to get him. So when he passed by me sitting in my car he made a smart remark.

There was also another incident with a mentally retarded person in an emergency waiting room. Each time I passed by them (to fill out paperwork) they tried to get up and hug me, I shyed away without saying anything. Finally after I passed them the last time, the person waiting with them said something to the affect that I couldnt catch anything from them (assuming I didnt want to touch them because they were retarded). I just retorted quickly, "yeah but I dont know that they cant catch what I have. (at the time I was there to have the doc look at a rash)

People are gonna think what they want to think, and their jumping to the wrong conclusion only shows their thinking, not the other persons.

 

Huh?

 

The Guy should have known better than to put you on the spot like that, by asking you for a ride. It was rather rude of him to do so. My daughter just lost a classmate to a fatal encounter with a stranger here in L.A. The "Lily Burk" Murder.

Better to be suspected a "Racist", than a Dead "Anti-Racist."

 

That incidence BROKE MY HEART!
It really affected me a lot!
Hows your daughter holding up??

 

Eh, I've never really known anything else so I've come to grips with it. I don't let him bother me anymore, and he hasn't tried to lay his hands on me since the last time when I punched him back I just worry for my mom, cause she still lives with him and he still drinks. She says he's not tried to hit her in years, though, but somehow I doubt that.

On the upside, I'm definitely not a girl with a bad dad who dates the same type of men. Every relationship I've had, once they get to know me better, has the "Now, just so you know, if you ever hit me I will kill you" talk. lol

Everybody with someone bad like that in their life deserves better, but some people get it and some people don't. If you get a bad one, you just gotta deal with it the best you can and survive. He's getting older now, and he wonders why his children hate him. I just have the unfourtunate job of answering those questions, because my younger siblings either don't understand or aren't ballsy enough to say it.

But yeah, I'm rather certain he's the main reason I'm so wary of drunks, but then, I've seen way too many violent drunks to be ok with it. For me, I have to get to know someone who's an alcoholic before I can be comfortable with it, and then only after they've proven that they're only harming themselves and not trying to beat anyone up. Until that point my guard goes up exponentially when I smell alcohol on someone and I'm not at a party or in a bar.

 

I hadn't heard about this until now, so I googled it. That poor little girl. Make sure you give your daughter extra hugs.

 

She's fine!

Thanks for asking...

Yeah DH, both her mother, and I have talked with, and supported my daughter, after this happened.

 

lippy has witnessed and experienced a fair amount of racism throughout the years...it doesn't bother me in the least...i am very friendly and to be honest i think that comes from working in the sales industry...so when i encounter people in public everyone gets the same treatment...doesn't matter what color they are or how they are dressed...short, tall, fat thin etc...i don't try any harder with one person vs. another person...consistancy has been my best practice...

for my own safety living in the city as well as traveling to other cities i am on guard all the time...i do not put myself in compromising positions...just today i was in line at the drive through bank atm and noticed a couple of characters hanging around on foot...i locked my doors on the car and phoned into the bank and asked them to send out a security guard...the men took off...they could have been harmless but when lippy has up her radar i am more proactive than reactive...i feel sorry for the poor soul that trys to harm me or a member of my family...they are going to have to kill me right then and there or prepare to be fucked up by lippy

 

... AND TO THE PUNK ASS THAT NEG REPPED ME, BUT DIDN'T LEAVE A NAME,

F*CK YOU!

COWARD!!!!

 

Agreed DH. I steer clear of them and would NEVER consider a relationship with an alcoholic for similar (not exact same) reasons as yourself.

 

good, I'm glad to hear both things. Still. More hugs *nodnod* When someone close me to is going through something like this I give them however many hugs they say they need x3, simply because sometimes people don't wanna say they need it when they really do.

 

Thankfully I can keep my head fairly well when I drink, but my main issue with alcohol in general is that people can't always remain themselves while drunk. An otherwise nice person can quickly turn violent with just a few drinks (and even vice versa). It's like playing Russian Roulette when drinking with new friends...you never know if they're gonna just be silly, get sick, get angry, get sad, or whatever.

I like to drink, but I know my limits and I keep them firmly in place. I wish more people could do the same.

I much prefer weed though. lol It just mostly makes people lazy..too lazy for violence! hahaha

But really, violent people are gonna be violent regardless of a substance. Some substances just make it worse is all, in my opinion.

 

"You Must Spread Some Reputation Around Before Giving It To Lipstick Again."

LOL!

 

I just looked it up rinnaye. That is really sad.

 

why would you be neg repped in this thread??? report it, that was below the belt.

 

Are White People Ever... 08-11-2009 ***********666686]02:11 PM "Shut up."

I wont report it because I'm not here to bring about censorship. If someone has a problem with what I have to say, then that's their problem.

But I'm NOT Shutting Up!

My thing is, they should "man up", and not be so cowardly about it.

 

Just say no

Don't let this get you killed. I was robbed by a hitchiker years ago when people were doing it still. Out came the knife as he got in. I only had a dollar or two to hand over, not worth the call to the cops.

Any city girl would have been thinking "911, robbery in progress". I watch enough news to know my request for a ride from a complete stranger translates to.."Excuse me. Please let me into your life to grind you to chop suey". I would not even ask for that kind of help.
