I just had a not-too-pleasent expierience at a theme park in Pittsburgh. I was walking with some of my (white)american friends, getting ready to get in line at one of the rollercoasters, and 2 african american kids, maybe a year or two older than us, shoved us aside, knocking one of my not-so-strong friends to the ground, and me into the railing. Me, being mpulsive and having a filthy sailor mouth said, "Woah, who the **** do you think you are?"

At first they were a bit suprised I didn't have an american accent, but they bounced back real quick with the silly american civil war and slavery BS, calling us "whitey,white boy, crackers" and other silly white racial slander. I was suprised they even knew why they were slightly racist and rude to us. I was mortified. I couldn't believe they for one said that to me, becuase I am not even from America. I stopped for a second to help up my friend, and I then started, "Well I did a little history test last year, and I found out you are in the North. There wasn't slavery anywhere near where we are right now, and if you are anything bitter towards my american friend, you have no God damn right to be bitter towards him. He had no control over what his ancestors did, and I doubt he has any heritage relating to them, so you owe him an apology. Learn your history before you act like a jackass in public."

I then realized what I just said, and looked how tall they were. I'll be honest, I was scared ****less. I felt so stupid, and expected to get the **** kicked out of my, but I stood my ground and waited to be shot to pieces, but instead they turned around, and continued pushing people to get to the front of the line. I was never so angry and scared at once, but I felt as if i did something right, but am still a little unsure if I went overboard.

No you didn't go too far. They were being jerks and you pointed it out properly. As for the insults they said, thats just typical America culture now (as sad as it is, you should try to get used to it) :s

Also, Pittsburgh did have slavery before the war (though they outlawed it in the early 19th century) and blacks were frowned down upon in the North and looked at as underlings to whites during the war.

I think your situation was a rare one. I know personally I've never had something like that happen to me, but if I did I probably would have reacted in a similar way. It is sad though that in many part of the US, racism, on both sides, still exists. It isn't always out in the open, but it is there insubtleways. Those kids that did that may have acted out with racism, because of the crap our country still subjects much of our African American population to. They are still highly marginalized by various sectors of society, a society that is mostly run by whites. But regardless, racism is never justified or right, and I am sorry that happened to you and your friend.

I was tempted to say the horrible things that the Africans did, in the ancient times, like about cannabalism and stuff, but the amusement park shooting idea gave me chills and I was very busy working explitives into my speech. I guess I didn't have that much bawlz, but I had enough to get me through the part that put a shock to the system

What exactly does calling you a white boy or cracker have to do with the civil war? If you want my opinion, it sounds like you went off on some irrelevant rant over nothing and they probably thought you had lost your **** mind.

And they say americans are bad. Jeez. You got into a fight over slavery because a black guy pushed your friend at an amusement park? Where exactly are you from if your not from america?

So youre saying it was them that brought up slavery? If so than i guess it was their fault and they were just looking to get a rise out of you. If you were able to get them to just walk away than you did the right thing.

Maybe in total there were 5 of them. And three of them said, "you two go in line we go to piss". So the 3 go to pee, and on the way there one breaks his leg or has a heart attack or a seizure, and the other two were rushing to go get their other party members.

I just had a not-too-pleasent expierience at a theme park in Pittsburgh. I was walking with some of my (white)american friends, getting ready to get in line at one of the rollercoasters, and 2 african american kids, maybe a year or two older than us, shoved us aside, knocking one of my not-so-strong friends to the ground, and me into the railing. Me, being mpulsive and having a filthy sailor mouth said, "Woah, who the **** do you think you are?"

At first they were a bit suprised I didn't have an american accent, but they bounced back real quick with the silly american civil war and slavery BS, calling us "whitey,white boy, crackers" and other silly white racial slander. I was suprised they even knew why they were slightly racist and rude to us. I was mortified. I couldn't believe they for one said that to me, becuase I am not even from America. I stopped for a second to help up my friend, and I then started, "Well I did a little history test last year, and I found out you are in the North. There wasn't slavery anywhere near where we are right now, and if you are anything bitter towards my american friend, you have no God damn right to be bitter towards him. He had no control over what his ancestors did, and I doubt he has any heritage relating to them, so you owe him an apology. Learn your history before you act like a jackass in public."

I then realized what I just said, and looked how tall they were. I'll be honest, I was scared ****less. I felt so stupid, and expected to get the **** kicked out of my, but I stood my ground and waited to be shot to pieces, but instead they turned around, and continued pushing people to get to the front of the line. I was never so angry and scared at once, but I felt as if i did something right, but am still a little unsure if I went overboard.

You come off as a little bit nerdy and immature right there. My response(I got anger issues) would be:

You mess with us one more ****in time and ill slit your ****in throat right here you piece of trash n*****!

If they did anything after that, my Sig Sauer knife would come out(depending on where I am, such as like on the streets versus a crowded movie theater). If all else fails, I use my fists. Im pretty big with quiet a bit of muscle at 6'1, 190 pounds. My UFC hat that I constantly ware also is a deterant.
