Are white people more worried about what they said than people of other races?

It seems alot of white people are more worried about what they and their people say than people of other races are worried about what they and their people say. In America, we have something called freedom of speech (I know I'm p*****g off liberals here) too many Americans have died defending it too for it to be wasted just because it makes some people cry. Alot of white comedians will censor what they say whereas black and latino comedians will go all out. Isn't that called hypocrisy? Why do people allow themselves to be swayed and peer pressured?

The countless ignorant whites who defend anti-black verbal abuse with "Freedom of Speech": Freedom of Speech refers SOLELY to the U.S. government being banned from throwing people in jail for verbalization of any sort. Freedom of Speech does NOT mean people are allowed to go around saying whatever they want, however offensive, without receiving negative consequences. Believe it or not, there are tons of negative consequences aside from the U.S. government throwing people in the slammer which are legal; for example, an employee can be fired from their job because they decide to VERBALLY sass all their customers; a child can be sent to the principal's office because they make sexually explicit REMARKS during class; churchgoers can be kicked out of a church service for blasphemous COMMENTARY during a sermon; users can be banned from certain websites for using SLURS; Serena Williams can and did receive anti-black slurring all over the Internet from disgusting members of the white community because she CURSED at a line official for a bad call. In addition to that, Serena was treated like a big scary monster and fined; etc. These are all negative consequences of verbal inappropriateness which are not against the law and there are many more where that came from.

One issue countless whites constantly whimper to is how "blacks are able to get away with racism against whites while whites can't against blacks": these whites fail to realize that racism from blacks is usually limited to a joke or to, and mainly from black comedians who are known to make fun of their own race a lot of the time as well; on the other hand, racism from whites tends to span all across the board into the most consequential aspects of our lives: the workplace and methods of hiring certain people; law enforcement and the justice system; real estate and who are sold certain homes; all over the Worldwide Web where whites comfortably get away with the grossest of racism without harsh consequence; virulent insults from countless white celebrities from Mel Gibson ("I hope you get raped by a bunch of n-words) and Michael Richards (blasting someone with the n-word) to Dr. Laura (anti-black racist rant) and Mark Williams (expressing nostalgia of, and praising anti-black slavery); not too long ago and for five centuries, the entire structure and practice of the U.S. government; etc. When whites actually do limit their racism to mere joking, more often than not, they make use of older material from racist time periods in American history: ex. monkey related putdowns which were heavily used during the socially acceptable anti-black mistreatment era. In the rare cases that whites limit their racism to tactful jokes that don't rely on sensitive time periods in American history, there's never any protesting out of the black community: comedian Lisa Lampanelli has never received any widespread protesting out of the black community for her slews of anti-black jokes ( http://comedians.jokes.com/lisa-lampanelli/videos/lisa-lampanelli---dating-black-guys ) ; Nicole Parker has never received any widespread protesting out of the black community for her slews of anti-black skits on Mad TV; Everybody Loves Raymond has never received any widespread protesting out of the black community for Frank & Marie Barone's commentary and attitudes about blacks; South Park, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show, and American Dad have never received any widespread protesting out of the black community for their anti-black jokes; Chelsea Handler has never received any widespread protesting out of the black community for her anti-black humor on her E! show, nor has she for her anti-black commentary at the 2010 VMA's; etc. The trouble is most whites can't seem to limit their racism to tactful jocularity; they show tactlessness and hostility. The anti-black discrimination, hostility, and tactlessness out of the white community is very different from the anti-white jocularity out of the black community.

I totally agree with you! I have noticed that. George Lopez doesn't care about who he pisses off. Where as Adam Sandler will be a little more careful. I do think that white people worry about what they say because they are afraid of offending someone. I believe that they are way more careful because of the past, slaves etc. I wish people would care less and just say what comes to mind!!! We have FREEDOM OF SPEECH for a reason!!!!!!!!

Maybe the P.C's ones but I know of white ppl who will say whatever they feel around whoever.

The thing is though they don't hold bigoted views so why would they have a problem saying anything?


But to get at what you are really asking I'm black and I think white people should be able to say whatever is on their mind. This P.C thing has gone way too far and I rather know what someone truly thinks than to have someone be fake, smile in my face but are a whole different person when my back is turned.

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
