I have (Im biracial, black/white) and its absolutely dehumanizing and embarrassing. Basically I was on a forum with a lot of white gays and they chose to target me, make me the odd one out. They would treat me so mean and went so far. They started calling me a monkey and it caught on and everytime I logged in they would call me it.

So fellow black people, have you ever been called a monkey as well by some vile white people?

It feels like thats the go-to when they want to disparage us.

A few times, mostly online once people found out I was black. It's always weird and annoying to hear how delighted they are at saying it, like they get an O from it.

Oh, don't do that, the people calling me that were hispanic and asian mostly. the most racism I've gotten from a white person is having a security guard follow me around the store, so in retaliation I played hide and go seek with him you know disappearing down one aisle and quickly going to the other one just as he starts walking down it. That kinda immature bullshit.

When it comes to racism I feel like I might as well have fun with it, people with those views want you to get mad as it justifies their racism even more.

I've had racial slurs used towards me, but not monkey. Unfortunately I had an older black coworker that referred to some other black coworkers she didn't like as monkeys. She seemed like she had some issues mentally but it was still upsetting to hear.

I was promptly corrected. :|

When I was a store detective I was working in an affluent part of Boston. I called the police on a junkie shoplifter that was stealing a whole bunch of diet pills. The guy is running out of the store and I ran out behind him to apprehend him. The cop walks right passed the complete junkbox with his face leaking and a bag full of stolen shit and grabs me up by the chest and says "got ya!" I had to explain to him that I was in fact not the shoplifter, it was the piece of shit in front of me with the bag of stolen merchandise...

It's depressing as fuck that this even happens in 2018, tbqh. Like what in the fuck. That video of the young people making fun of the black family in the restaurant was abhorrent, and it's got me thinking about how many people still get picked on in the same way because of being born with one skin color or another.

Goddammit the SJWs may have been right about racism still being pervasive.

It's a pretty meaningless post. The dude suicided one of his accounts by posting racist drivel about black people.

"Oh wow, other than myself I didn't know that people said racist things about black people."

I was 20, broke, and just scored an amazing job with kickass benefits a week or two prior. Too much was on the line.

Had it happened a year or two earlier I'd probably still be in jail.

There's a reason "mejorar la reza" is a thing.
My dad told me to do this when I was a kid and I didn't pay attention to it until I grew up and actually understood racism, here in the Dominican Republic (and in many Latino countries, as far as I'm aware) seeking out partners with a clearer skin colour than yours is preferred by a bunch of the older generation because according to them doing so "mejora la raza" (improves the race).
