I don't have a tangible source for it. It was a local occurrence.
Nope. Every last one of the replacements was a black individual. Nobody of any other race, except the 2 token whites that I believe couldn't have been replaced very easily.
What town is it in? What's the name of the hotel? Sorry but just saying these things with no proof is not good enough. It should be easy enough to determine if all the employees there are black except for 2 like you say.
Have you considered the fact that the new management simply cut everyone's wages, and the people who were there before decided not to keep the same jobs for less pay? Like I said, how do you know it's racism? Did you work at this hotel?

Me.
I am not saying it "compares" to anything. Only a complete moron tries to "compare" acts of racism to other acts of racism, to try to determine the appropriate level of outrage due.
I don't care if black people get tased and cuffed, and that's somehow worse than what happened to me. The fact is,
NONE of it should be happening.
By any chance, do you dress like how your avatar looks, all gothy and s**t? You don't think a cop might find someone dressed like that the least bit suspicious? Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, the cops were looking for a white guy in your general age range dressed like you?
You know, I used to drive a 94 Ford piece of s**t escort, and I would get stopped by the cops constantly - because at the time I lived in somewhat rich area. Were the cops racially profiling me? Or were they just questioning something they found out of place?
This is what I'm talking about - you simply cannot comprehend that you could possibly ever be taken for a suspicious person, so the cop stopping you MUST have been racially motivated. No other explanation, huh? Tell me, how many times exactly do you get stopped in this neighborhood, or in general? Once? Twice? All the time? I'm betting this doesn't happen very often.
See, if these were black cops who systematically beat the s**t out of you, arrested you for no reason, or planted drugs on you or otherwise harrassed you so you'd stay out of their neighborhood because they didn't like white people, that would be "racism." Not I-got-pulled-over-and-searched-because-I'm-in-a-neighborhood-that-I-look-like-I-don't-belong-holy-s**t-must-be-reverse-racism. That's bullshit.

That's still profiling, isn't it? And unless I'm wearing a bloodstained tee shirt, there's absolutely no reason for any suspicion, based on physical appearance.
Bullshit, that's what cops are supposed to do, stop people who look suspicious, who look like they don't belong. I remember after 9-11 when all the conservatives were defending racial profiling of Muslims at airports, funny how it's ok to do it when it's not white people.

Or if they have family in the area, like me.
See, I didn't mind being stopped and questioned. A few short Q and As is fine. I get it. But patting down, verbally degraded, and having the content of my wallet questioned? Severely over the line.
Obviously you did care, else you wouldn't have brought it up as a (very poor) example of reverse racism.

Not remotely. There is no reason to suggest any potential threat.
Bullshit, the fact that you're even there - a white guy in a black neighborhood, is reason enough. Especially one who's dressed like how your avatar dresses, by which I assume you wear lots of black and T-shirts with band names and s**t on them. How long is your hair?
Even if that's not the case though and you're just a regular looking schmoe, you have no proof it was racial profiling. The cop simply could have been looking for someone driving your same model of car, or who fit your description.

Again, why should it be "compared". You didn't ask for something that "compares". You asked for examples of racism against whites. And I provided.
Because what you think is racism is not even ******** close to what I experience as racism. See, I'm lucky because I'm part white, and if someone doesn't look at me for too long I can pass for a white person. Not so much as a child. One time when I was a kid I got my a** beat by a bunch of white kids calling me "rice eye" and "gook."
That's what racism looks like, not a cop stopped you one time then let you go.

Legally, they would have to. But the odds of leaving without some form of injury, diminishes with time.
So the bar is not in fact owned by racists, or operates in a racist manner. So let me ask, why the hell did you bring it up? How the ******** is this an example of "reverse racism" if in fact the ******** bar doesn't act racist towards you?
Is it because the people inside would beat the s**t out of you because you're white? No other reason, huh? Just white person = automatic beat down? Are you ******** serious?
Quote:
See? That's the problem. If it's not as bad as what happens to blacks, it doesn't happen at all. You allow this s**t to happen to people, by ignoring it, because you don't like to admit that whites can be victims, too. Whites are the majority, they have the "advantages", so it's ok when someone "knocks him down a peg". And it makes me sick.
The problem is you don't know what you're talking about, and you take small little bullshit transgressions as "racism" when in real life you've never experienced anything even ******** close. Come back when somebody's burning a cross on your lawn.
