Have you been bullied before?

When I was in elementary school, a few attempted to bully me. I guess they figured it wasn't worth it because I was too much of a loner. Other than that, people didn't really mess with me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've been accused of this as well. Why do they do that to us?

I think when bullies back off is when they see they can't intimidate you anymore. Or at least that's what my family has always told me.

How ya doing, buddy?

None of my white friends have any of those characteristics, yet they like to place me among their category.. Makes no sense.

One of my friends had the nerve to tell me one day that I don't sound or act black. I was like, "How the hell are you supposed to know and you're not even black?!". I came to find out that he was basing that stuff on crap he saw on TV. One some of my black friends actually get mad at me for the way I speak (decent minus slang and garbage). They actually try to annoy me by using a whole bunch of that garbage around me. Geez, it's not that hard to learn proper English! What is wrong with them?


I beat this girl up as a kid that tried to bully me. She called me a whole bunch of names and crap and even stole something of mine. Then she made the mistake of coming on my front lawn bragging about it... I punched her like three or four times in the head and the stomach, which knocked her down. She gave me my stuff back and never bothered me again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Haha, no, but I did yell really loud that if I ever saw her on my lawn again I would do the same thing. My brother (he was standing there watching the whole thing) thought it was hilarious. My parents somehow heard the entire thing through the walls and they laughed at me too. Well, at least I didn't get in trouble for getting beat up! :biggrin:

I agree with you 100%. It's sad, though. I just shake my head when I see little things that seemingly mock black people. It's like all of a sudden the people who act black are cooler than the people that are black. I will never fully understand this concept...

When I was in 9th grade, some idiot fool in my neighborhood decided he wanted to bully my cousin (they were together briefly). I was sitting there on the bus while they were in the back arguing. All of a sudden I hear him threaten her and say, "I will beat the shhh out of you if you don't shut up!". Immediately my headphones came off (I was listening to some sort of music) and I turned around real slow. I think the little piece of garbage forgot I was on the bus. I went to stand up to go back there and he saw me and backed off of her. He never bothered her again.

I'm not violent! Trust me! I just don't like it when people threaten me or threaten people related to and friends of mine!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Is is my imagination or is being "the whitest black guy/girl" supposed to be an insult of some type? I suppose that would explain the angry looks I get when I say "whatever" and walk away.

Most amazing jew boots

Yep, you'd be surprised.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
