Have you ever changed someone's perspective on stereotypes?

I'm a 27 year old black man, no kids, no criminal record, good credit, went to college, in graduate school, working in the professional world with dreadlocks.

I break stereotypes everyday.

nigga wanted a panasonic, i told him to get a jvc

Dude I used to work with was a self proclaimed racist and said he didn't like black people outside of the guys he worked with he felt all black people were troublemakers.

Normally I'd snuff dude and leave it at that, but me and him were cool cause he set me up with some work and I didn't really he believe he was racist since we would hang oit with no issues he was just misguided... also this dude is like 6'9 350lbs so I came at him with logic.

Asked him how many black people he knew. He said only dudes that hes worked at clubs with so probably around 12-15. Then I asked how many of them he was legitimate friends with. He said about 10. Then asked him if he ever had any problems with the others. He said no he just didn't work with them long enough to get to know them.

So I broke it down for him that if every black person he's gotten to know personally is solid and he has ended up calling most of them his friend and none of them are trouble makers then wouldn't it stand to chance if he took the time to get to know more black people on that level that he would most likely come across the same results? He was like "yeah I guess so".

I was like "your not a big racist your just big and stupid."

I think I have, but honestly can't remember a time when I tried. A lot of people are idiots and I don't have enough patience. People be too stuck in their ways for me to really give a damn.

Stereotypes are for the foolish, you learn this as you gain wisdom. You need to understand who each and every person you encountered on their own works, not on their background they had no choice in gaining.

Is that possible? People that believe in stereotypes are too far gone already.

 

[Gold_Certificate]

Yeh, scientists and engineers stay thinking I'm just there to fulfill minority requirements, but once I start talking, they realize they are no longer the smartest person in the room.

i hooked up with this white girl and she looked at my junk and was like... "is that all?"

Stereotypical responses

 

[caddo man]

I always find myself being the token black guy. The one black guy that the country white guys say, " Let me ask him why do black people do _____?"

Actually that shit has really opened my eyes to how white people truly have questioned. They ask me to ask them anything. I always tell them, "I dont stereotype so I know you truly dont have the answer I need to know." They never get the irony.

Something else I my wife calls me "white boy" when she was the one that grew up like the Huxtables. My life was more like "The Corner".

At a grappling tournament some dude thought I was just a wrestler. I pulled gaurd and arm barred his ass lol.

 

[T. Sanford]

T/S, its not a stereotype, it a fact that you are a wack poster

 

[janklow]

i've had a few people make some wild assumptions about me based on appearance, get to know me, and realize they were quite wrong with said assumptions. so hopefully this has had some lasting affect on their social outlook(s)

consider this striking a blow for racial harmony
