Ok I agreed with most of what you said but the bolded is idiotic.
I don’t care if you’re a “black man yourself” but history has told us white ppl give 2 shits about anything else about us except for the fact that our skin is darker. There are idiots in every race, but its fact that white folks convinced themselves we were sub-human and they were superior and millions have stuck to that train of thought since. Whether openly, subtle, systematically, its all still there.
Yes all races (even minorities) can SAY racist shit, but tell me which minorities have the power to systematically oppress another…
But you want separate dorms for minorities and whites
It’s dumb
The civil rights movement had blacks in the front
But we had cesar chavez and larry itliong fight fore fair wages for asian and mexican farm workers. Though itliong is never referenced by mainstream media.
We did have filipinos, chinese, and natives fight for their freedoms
Yes black ppl will always feel more slighted and be more vocal considering the much more publicized history. The lynchings, cross and church burnings, the constant terrorizing of black neighborhoods (and the government condoned it). The media and independent photographers made sure to capture all of it. Its crazy to think it wasn’t really that long ago.
You wanna be mad only black ppl’s suffering is known? Blame white folks for initiating it to no end then consequently covering it to no end.
I don’t even know why you’re talking about this or why I sucked myself into this cause this has nothing to do with the video. The video isn’t even about separate dorms for minorities and whites. Its about places people can go to get away from hearing ideas and statements they don’t like.
Which is still stupid, but yea I don’t know what you were talking about.
And yes, Racism against white people most certainly exists. There isn’t a race that can’t be a victim of racism. As soon as you blanket an entire race of people with some negative attribute you’ve become a racist. It doesn’t matter how true you or anyone might think it is. If a group of people does have some “nuance”, there’s a good chance it could be in their upbringing or environment.
…But I agree, it’s almost 2016 now. It’s time to burn the racist card. It’s in our nature to see races and colors and make assumptions about them. That’s not bad, so long as we have the strength to realize and overcome it.
There’s no confusion. Racism is a subcategory of prejudice. Prejudice at someone or a group of people because of their ethnicity.
Some tools want to twist it so that it’s slanted and they can cite Mein Kampf without having to label themselves as racists, but that’s the simple, universal, commonsensical definition that can then be extended to things like institutionalized racism (where you can absolutely plausibly argue that most of the time white people won’t really meet it, but in an increasingly Politically Butthurt culture that may not be the case for long).
It’s still not the same. If you’re saying some one is racist and they aren’t then you end up looking dumb and there is far too much stupidity in the world already.
There’s no way around thaf. If you want to group all subcategories with the main definition then you can’t possibly know what you’re on about.
Well, I’ve read something today. That was…quite a bit.
Black people need to form a klu klux klan then it’ll be over.
What the panthers mistake was, was not calling it the kkk. White people would have had to make a decision lol.
But beside the point, hate groups and love groups form from either ignorance or whatever prejudice arises.
People waste time giving a shit about the color of your skin, that is some petty nonsense.
It exists everywhere. Many black people are racist towards white people. Many asians are racist towards white people.
A friend of mine lives in Lisbon and she and her boyfriend got mugged and beaten by a group of black men simply because they were white. They kept shouting “branquela” (whitey) as they smacked her around.
Assholes exist everywhere.
Now excuse me while I take my “priviledged” white, heterossexual, cis-gendered ass from this discussion before someone starts to point out I can’t have any discussion whatsoever about any subject due to how priviledged I supposedly am.
probably because those same white people convinced a bunch of black people to sell themselves and their descendants for some shiny trinkets.
Fortunately, a good chunk of those white people stopped viewing black men as stupid uncivilized savages.
Also, it’s no wonder white people had the best chance to oppress others since we were the most technological advanced and still have the most power.
These are very touchy subjects that are sure to have someone misread them and accuse me of something. But anyone with some history knowledge, knows this to be an unfortunate truth.
Now, you can accept this and try to engage me in a civilized discussion which I’ll be glad to partake or I can ignore you, because I despise stupidity.
In college they barred me from talking. I’m not white at all but I “read white”. I guess you read white if you have hygiene, speak English properly and wear pants that fit.
Nevermind the fact that I’m not white.
These people just want to have something to rally against, let them have their boogeyman.
