I officially hate everyone...yes, including you
Permalink Closed

I got back from Best Buy a little bit ago and I am so pissed off. I went w/ my cousin, who is biracial and my brother’s gf and she is black. My cousin and I were getting CDs and we were talking about what we were going to have for dinner and I said something about “When we get back home…” It probably sounded like we were dating or married to people around us.

Anywho, all three of us check out and I hear these two girls talking about interracial dating and how they think it is wrong. My brother’s gf and I look at each other and roll our eyes.

As we are walking out of the store the security alarm goes off. An employee checks our bags and apologizes. He says sometimes cell phones will set the alarm off and he lets us go. I am a little pissed about this, but I let it go, because it isn’t there fault.

As we are walking out of the store the two girls that are against interracial dating are starring at us. We all get to my car and the girls parked across from us. I hear one of them say “Not only do they steal, but they obviously are drug dealers too if they can afford a car like that.” I have a decent car, so I guess they thought two black people could not afford it unless they were drug dealers.

I just flipped out on the two girls. I started yelling and going off on them. I couldn’t believe that was happening and being said. I was already in a bad mood and they just made it worse. I know there is racism in the world. I am not that naïve to thing there is not, but I just couldn't believe how horrible some people are. All my life I have grown up w/ very diverse family members- a black uncle, a Chinese aunt, a Indian sister in law, biracial cousins, and my great grandmother is black (actually my step, but she is the only mom my grandfather has known, so she is my great-grandmother)- so it has never been an issue in my house. I just can’t believe how ignorant and horrible some people are.

I just needed to vent because I am so pissed off. Damn, some people are monsters.


And I don't really hate you... I just feel like I hate everyone right now.

i don't blame you for being incredibly upset. how obnoxiously ignorant and completely immature and judgemental of those two girls.

i hope you can at least feel positive about being a normal, open-minded and tolerant person... something they will obviously NEVER be.

i know, it's one thing to know racism exists in the abstract but it is quite another to come face to face w/ it.  all my friends and i have had the kind of experience you describe and all of us grew up w/o it ever really being an issue (diverse family and friends, etc.)  btw, wait until you experience it in the workplace, it literally made me want to throw up.  but every time i hear or see or experience it, it never fails to shock and appall me and make me question the whole human race.


it's disgusting and shouldn't be tolerated and sometimes you just have to flip out and let the racists know they are a**holes.  sadly, other times (when it's more subtle but just as wrong), you have to hold your tongue and remind yourself that their acceptance does not in any way affect your self-worth and that in spite of them, you will succeed.

Racism is completely awful and unacceptable... I'm so sorry that happened to you guys. 


Those girls sound like totally bitter, lame people (who I hate too!).  I'm sure your life is 10,000 times more enriched than theirs by accepting and loving all people (except them!).

What Bitches! I give you credit though cause if that was me I would have gone off on them and then they would say that "hispanics" have tempers!


Screw them, they have a sad life if they are so closed minded......

I am not as surprised (though ALWAYS disappointed) by those morons because unfortunately, racism is an ugly attitude that is hard to heal, but I am quite surprised that they were speaking this way within earshot....of anyone in public, much less the subject of their ignorance!  If I had overheard it, I would have spoke up, it's too bad someone else in the store within earshot didn't.

I would be feeling the same way you are feeling now too!!!!! Somtimes I work I'll see this really hot guy, and I'll out loud, "he's hot" or "check him out", and the people around me will say stuff like,"You would date a black guy", or " I would never date a white guy". WTF!!!!! Do they not hear themselves????? Its 2005, morons!!!!!! Some people have yet to gain the intelligence that color is just that color, personality and the values of that person is more important and attracticve!!

The thing that seems to be still bothering me is that my cousin and my brother's gf didn't seem to be too upset. It was really not a big deal to them. According to them this thing kind of happend a lot, so they are use to it by now.

That just blows my mind. I can never imagine being use to that.

Thanks everyone for listeing to me vet. It still just blows my mind.

What a horrible thing to have happen to you! I'm not surprised, exactly, that blatant cases of racism exist, but I am shocked and appalled when I encounter it. I can't wrap my mind around the kind of hatred and fear and ignorance that creates all the isms and phobias (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.). I just don't get it and I hope I never do.


I'm like Tati, I probably would have blown a gasket and then those girls would have really had something to complain about.


Ignorance like that does not deserve your anger. Save it for someone who is worth it. Maybe that's why your cousing and brother's gf aren't upset. Maybe they know those girls aren't worth being upset over.


I'm sorry you encountered someone like that.

What's wrong w/ people?  People that have so much hate in them will never be happy.  It's sad all the way around.

Bigots live miserable lives. i can't believe you were able to keep your mouth shut with people who seem like they were going out of their way to incite confrontation. I would have spazd if I was in your situation.

Ew. ew. ew. Who would act like that? And they're young, too! Good for you for not blowing up at them! Although I wouldn't have blamed you if you had!

it amazes me the things that people say and think that they think is acceptable.


i've had similar experiences (not racism but stupid comments) with a good friend of mine.  she has ms and so has a handicapped sticker for her car.  we don't usually park in the handicapped spaces but sometimes we do and people will all the time say things like "you don't look handicapped."  how can you just open your mouth and say things when you have no idea?
