^^^I don’t think he understood the point I was trying to make.
Like literally just came in to say some “smart” shit without referencing the context of the discussion and somehow perceiving me as being one of those black people that see ALL white people as the problem…
I don’t need to misread or accuse you of anything; your wording speaks for itself.
the best chance to oppress others.
Like really?? Evening the phrasing is subtly antagonistic.
It’s pretty clear in that post that I addressed the part where you said that “white folks convinced themselves we were sub-human and they were superior…”
Nowhere in that post did I accuse you of calling ALL white people racists. I wrote about the idiots who took advantage of others.
And unless you’ve been sheltered all your life, history is full of barbaric acts perpetrated by mankind towards themselves. It just so happened that white people were the most technological advanced and used said advantage to sieze power and rule over others.
Now you can ackowledge this verified truth by anyone with history knowledge, or you can keep showing what an idiot you’re currently making yourself appear to others. Your choice.
Either way, I’m done talking to you. If you want to know the reason, read the post you quoted.
You come into the thread talkin shit about history and the “truth no one wants to talking about or hear” as if this shit isn’t acknowledged and talked about on SRK ad nauseam.
You aren’t imparting any new knowledge on me like some wise sage. I’ve know and acknowledged history as such since I was barely a pre-teen.
So I ask again, wth are you getting at??? Again I say context of the my post and the ENTIRETY of this thread seems to be lost on you.
Nigger, salty white cracker, spic[how is this offensive it sounds pretty lame to say] chink[sounds not offensive]
But for some reason nigger is the buzzword for society.
And wetback is too broad, could mean anything. Oh look, a wetback. Wtf, and nigger is a bastard word of nigeria.
It should just be slang for nigerians but of course everything had to be turned offensive to perpetuate agendas and fuel prejudice and ignorance regarding the cultural and methodical/moral ethics of each sect of mankind.
Yeesh. Slavery backfired every single time. Relics abundant. White people can’t catch a break in harlem.
Niggers weary in kentucky and alabama.
Spanish fellas watchful of DC regulations and asians, “why me no can se nigger nigger” it’s a word but people of each twoggle take it a different way, so results may vary and be careful.
I know I wrote that would be the last time I addressed you… but God, I really despise stupidity.
Since your ability to read isn’t your forte I’ll spell it out to you.
I addressed your post where you said “white folks convinced themselves we were sub-human and they were superior…”. This is the 2nd time I have to point out this very obvious thing to you and hopefully this time you won’t get confused again.
I didn’t come into the thread “talking about history and the truth no one wants to talk about or hear” as your ineducated ass is saying. I responded to one guy who said there is no racism towards white people and I even gave an example of something that happened to a friend of mine. Because it just so happen (as is the point of this thread) that there are racists everywhere and from every race. It isn’t something exclusive of one race. Hopefully, this time I explained things so even someone like you can understand.
That same “truth” you’re trying to mock, was me saying this was a touchy subject and it was bound to have someone misunderstand and accuse me of something… coincidently you just happened to do said thing.
Want me to spell out the context of your first post too? You called white people (and let me point out that I didn’t call you out on this before. You, yourself immediatly acted defensively because you knew what you just did) bigoted assholes who think themselves superior to black people, who you said we didn’t care two shits about other than the color of your skin. You then continued on saying that millions of us still view black people as “sub-human”.
Your entire post screams irony because you’re exactly what the girl on the video is complaining about.
Now get some education, and stop displaying your stupidity for everyone to see.
History is history man. Those white people from the 19th century or whatever are fucking dead, in today’s world it’s our black community that has equal or MORE negatives. In NYC, black people are actually the most common racists you will bump into and they are the fastest in popping out the race card. The only way we can improve is accept that truth and stop playing victim, the whole: “well the white people did bad stuff to us 50+ years ago” is not a damn excuse or reason.
Am I the only black person who doesn’t necessarily understand the “privilege” concept? I kinda have an inkling of the meaning, but I can’t see myself telling a white person mid-argument to check their privilege because I feel “oppressed” in a situation.
I’d also go on a tangent over #BlackLivesMatter vs. #AllLivesMatter, but I honestly don’t have the energy for that right now.
You are exactly the kind of person who says #AllLivesMatter like that isn’t an inherently obvious thing. Do you want me to say “notallnotallnotall’” “somesomesomesome” when I talk about ANY group of people ALL THE TIME like you don’t know good and well that’s obvious???
That’s what I’M getting at. You seem to need EXTREME clarity lest you immediately can’t discern whether someone is also talking about you. Thats like me getting mad at someone saying black folks (whom I’m apart of) are hot-headed even though I’m not. In general yes, blacks folks are very quick with temper if something offends them. I’m not although I agree because i know the person means in GENERAL. You see how that works.
My whole POINT of white folks (in GENERAL) and the history of our country’s government enforced or condoned oppression of minorities is that its the SOLE reason of the animosity and problems we have now, and the TRUE acknowledgement of that. The minority ghettos we have now aren’t a recent creation; they’re the same ones we were tossed into right after slaves were freed. Are you saying you agree with the guy I was responding to when he says black ppl are hated because we’re racist?? Because when we were brought here white ppl treated us that way because WE were the actual racists?? You’re telling me you didn’t read that and think "wait, our long engrained history tells us otherwise as to why we have white supremacy groups, fraternities talking about hanging niggers, swastikas being spray painted on a HBC’s building??
You really think there’d be so much animosity if we weren’t seen as barely second class citizens the moment they freed the slaves?? Imagine the state of this country if the freeing of slaves wasn’t seen as a humane thing and more of it “this is wrong ,we were wrong, you deserve better as citizens” sort of thing. But it wasn’t; it was blood shed and terror before any sort of budging. I’ve had numerous conversations about this with white friends who completely understand what I’m saying given the history of the country. I didn’t need to say “not you guys” because they knew that.
Acknowledging and stating said truth about our country’s racist history is not racist, its fact. My point was never even about whether or not anyone can be racist as that’s damned obvious. It was always about why the racial animosity existed in the country in the first place.
No one denies the countries racist history, but at this present day black people are seriously racist as well and they need to stop using history as some way to mask their point of views. Go to NYC, you’ll see what i mean.
Don’t tell me you’re one of those ppl who think racism in this country is dead? That’s the kinda shit Fox News and Republican politicians use as the reason states all over the south are restricting voter rights (vast majority in poor minority communities, go figure).
You can’t be so dense as to think racism is only overt
I loved that as soon as she said “Black people can be racist”, that one black girl stepped up and was like, “Nah, Ling Ling, you gotta go”. Just stopped her mid-speech and everything.
He keeps talking about “NYCNYCNYC” no fucking shit anyone can be and say racist shit
Institutionalized, systematic oppression of minorities, which is what the over-arching point of all the activism in this country is about. That is a much different fucking can of worms.
Unfortunately for white folks who don’t share the same views, these powerful institutions just so happen to be VERY PRIMARILY WHITE.
On the video of the girl, I’m legit heartbroken and kinda feel sorry for her because the whole situation is just extremely awkward.
If I was there i would have pulled her to the side after to explain though she was right, the immediate situation had nothing to do with that.
