Come on people lets start a straight pride parade!

Pushin brown is wrong, the chocolate starfish should be exit only. Let them be gay maybe it will sspread aids faster and they can all die MUWAHAHA. But on aa more serious note i do believe nature is trying to kill them off. It used to be that people thought this was wrong now its like worse to say your homophobic then gay. Poor little fudge packer no one is nice to them so everybody starts freaking out and gining them all these stupid gay rights.

But when you really think about it its about where you draw the line. I draw it at sodemy. If you think about it it is simple. People who like to put it in sh!t are messed in the head, they should be put away or something. I put it in such vulgar terms because thats the way i see it it is disgusting to me so it should be spoken that way. Making it so open and yet still having the element of it being wrong makes it sordof a taboo and people like that they like to be different which is pushing them in the wrong direction.

Then we start putting it in comics and cartoons and movies for example "Ice age" little kids see this and they dont really know about it so they emulate it just like they emulate normal cartoons, but they portray it in a different way a more intimate way like they are pushing it into there heads how and what to do. This is Trickery, we shouldnt trick children into being gay or support the people who try to.

Oh and dont give me any of that copout BS about i should look at my own sexuality thats what everyone sais when someone is against it. That is SO weak when you people say that.
Fvck you. I, quite honestly, don't give a sh|t about your "battles against discrimination" :|

another thing is i went into safeway and saw somebody stealing and told a manager and he said that he cant do anything even ask them unless he himself see's him do it. so he had no right.

should i let it go cause stuff is always gonna happen like this in life and i should just get used to it
or
should i do something because i cant just keep letting myself get stomped on thrue life?


Welcome to life in the US the land of racial profiling!

I recommend that your mom write letters, relating this incident, to the upper management of Safeway. If she is really pissed off she can start asking around your community to see if other Afro-Americans have had trouble with this store. The store manager needs feedback on racial profiling.

in regards to your original post about a manager "hearing" that you shoplifted...

It's illegal for them to unlawfully detain you, and if they do and you are found innocent, you're looking at a nice little lawsuit. At my store, i'll catch kids (and adults, too) stealing stuff...the only thing i'm allowed to do is confront them. If i accuse them or suggest that they were stealing, they (the store i work for) can write me up and/or fire me. The same goes for a manager in regards to "watching" somebody steal.

However, our loss prevention guy sometimes asks for our help catching a thief...and when Loss Prevention is involved, then i'm clear of liability. You'd better believe that once the perp walks out the door, we (without physical use) carefully escort him back into the building and into the LP office where he is legally detained while the police show. I see it happen probably twice a week during my shift.

if you want people to be racially neutral, you should start with yourself. you can't be racially conscious and then be angry when you think others do the same thing. as long as you think of yourself as "a black person" you will never be "a person." and that's no one's fault but your own.

Lets see if I understand your post.
The reason he is experiecing racism is because he looks different. And the solution is he should look less different? Would it help if he bleached his skin and got a permanent?

Sounds like you've already missed your chance. You'll let your mom stand up for you, and you'll let your dad stand up for you, but the only action you're willing to take yourself is a rant on ATOT?

dude, ultimate revenge is. . .point a gun to his head and tell him to go back to school and get hsi degree so he's not a sh!tty manager at a safeway, and give him a time frame, and if he does not comply, promise that you will kill him. Perhaps wear a mask in the process, the proceed to not shop there anymore.

And it isn't like he constantly harrassed you. Though I do say the situation with your brother is jacked... No one should be assumed to be a theif...

ya but it just seems like in this town i cant walk down the street without some hick being like "westside" and crap like that, i just fell like this is my chance to sorda stand up for myself

It's also your chance to move out of that town. If you don't like it, move to another city or fix the one you're in. Otherwise, don't complain about it. :)

you know i dont think i should just cause of some fvcking hicks. this is how i plan to fix it. and you dont need to post a "ive got everything figured out in my life cause im perfect" pos posts
oh the irony...

I'd be pissed. So some white guy supposedly shoplifts and the mgr. stops whities at random and says - "Hey are you Bruce? because you fit the description." yeah right. The manager was full of it.

Jesus, are you one of those guys who answers everything with "it's because I'm BLACK isn't it! :|"

And I venture to guess that you are one of those guys who answers everything "Its because I swallow isn't it?"

The general reply in here seems to be to run away and quit whining about most posts. It's good that some people stand up for what they believe in. If you think that manager was wrong, then do something about it. I applaud you voodoo33500. It only takes a minority of people to make a big difference. Ignore those that tell you to quit your whining and run away from the problems that you face everyday. They've probably never had those experiences so they're just speaking outta their arses.

All my black friends call blacks NXXXXS.......

Calling a group of people anything with a derogatory meaning is wrong in my eyes. I do not judge by race, education or beliefs. How they talk, how they look or where they live. The worth of a person goes much much deeper than what you can see.

I guess calling you a name is OK as long as everyone does it?

I am not offended. Call me anything you like.

If you must speak in a derogatory tone of any group of people it is YOU that needs the help.
