I'm telling you, a few years from now it's the """"normal"""" people like you and me who are somehow being discriminated.
I think you're really over-estimating yourself there, sparky.
Hence the quotes.
I think there's truth in it, though. I know this is a sensitive subject where people tend to easily call out the word "racist!" without thinking, but what I recognize in both my own experience and the stories I've read... a part of the black community still tends to wield discrimination/racism as both a shield and weapon against the world.. even though they suffer right about LESS from prejudice these days than others. Luckily we can easily laugh along with the brothers joking about the dancing patterns of white folk -- to keep the examples lighthearted.
What I'm also trying to say is that it's quite obvious to me that most people think that the groups that were once the victim of racism and or discrimination, today deserve to be treated with even more respect than those who weren't.

@Eldaron That you refer to yourself as "Normal" shows a fantastic level of ignorance.
I put the word "normal" between 8 quotes. EIGHT. I thought you'd understand that what I basically say with those quotes is that I understand the word "normal" isn't entirely appropriate but I nevertheless expect that people understand what I mean. Sadly you don't. But I think you do.
