Can anyone tell me why people (well some) are just mean to blacks? I just don't understand why. Well frankly i don't know about anyone else but i stand up for a black person whenever they get bullied like that.And tell if this is wrong or rite good or bad; I see someone cracking a joke on an African kid. I stand up and shut them all up but i'm the only one who got in trouble!I tell my boss that i was only trying to make the work more easy for him but i get suspended.(just a senerio) What really should had happened ? What would you do?

I am totally against racism, 100%. Racism is wrong. Here is the thing though, people tend to think that racism only goes one way and that is incorrect. There are african americans that are racist toward white people too. Racism is wrong no matter how it is directed!

Good for you! I've never experienced having to stand up for an African American but my middle daughter is married to one and he's an awesome guy who comes from a very nice family. If it did happen around me I would be proud to stand up for that person. At my age I still don't understand why there is so much racism in this country!

It is like I see some in movie or in TV. Bullying is everywhere even at work and at school. Sometimes the protagonists was the one who end up to be suspended or was the one who end up calling by the principal. There is nothing wrong if you stand up for a black person. I think it is good if you talk to that person in a nice way by saying to that person that doing a bad joke is not good. I think that is the only way so that no one gets suspended. Enlighten him a little bit in a nice and good conversation. If that would not do good, I think it is better to report him. Some people who joke does not know what they're doing. They thought that its fine and so, they did not know anything. They should be enlighten so that they would not do it again.
