Am I racest??

My boyfriend is a total redneck. I’m more a city girl but I’ve caught some country style to make him feel better. Well he has a problem with black people (I’m sorry if using “black” is offensive) but just the ones who act hard an have an attitude… Well they all know it an he drives around with a rebel flag back window on his truck an he started a race war his senior year an they know I’m dating him an call me racest for stickin up for it… But I don’t dislike every black person tho so does that make me racest???

Answer #1

No it doesn’t make you racist, you are your own person / own views - they ‘assume’ you’re racist thus making them unfairly judgemental it would seem.

Answer #2

no…your boyfriend sounds kinda..stupid…I mean I get tha fact he don’t like “black pple with additudes” but he shuddn’t get all carried away

Answer #3

No that does not make you racist, Just because you boyfriend is dosent mean you are. You and your boyfriend are totally two different people. Just like me and my boyfriend he is racist but doesn’t mean I am I dont care if he is because not every black person is the same there are some really nice people out there its just hard for them to see it

Answer #4

It sounds like your boyfriend is a racist for sure, and at the very least you’re supporting someone that is, which will make people think you probably are too.

Everything was sounding almost ok until you mentioned him starting a “race war”. That really goes beyond being a rebel and just firmly labels someone as a dangerous bigot.

I live in a rural area and have no needs to hate someone because of the color of their skin, or eyes, or hair…there are much better reasons to hate people, like because so-and-so is an ah* ^_^ Take in the good aspects of a “country style” like: helping your neighbors, taking part in community projects, take part in your local 4H program, go on long walks at night with your friends to just talk and look at the stars without any fear of people, just animals.

Raceism = Hate, and since you are asking this question at all, it is likely that you are probably only barely racist if you are.
