White People

[parrot 790]

As a Minority I can say anything I want to about White people but you can't do the same. All of my problems are your fault not mine.

You give me all kinds of advantages and special treatment because you feel so guilty. I love this country!

 

I think you are one of the White Morons my friend.

 

It's like you come in here trying to prove how stupid you are when no one is arguing that with you in the first place.

[KSB2424 3,174]

Say what?

I'll dumb it down for you.

 

RLLD and MDC have different definitions of "racism" so they each call one another "racist!@$!" for different reasons.

[IGotWorms 4,063]

I understood what you were saying; however it was really focking stupid. HTH

[peenie 2,027]

I guess you guys think we should continue to not talk about race ever.

We should just let racism continue to brew and fester and let minorities that have to under white supremacy simply sink or swim.

That may work for you but it sucks for everyone else.

[Sho Nuff 720]

 

 

So creating an environment where they are afraid to speak with the fear they can destroy their futures is fair? Their poosays for living in a world where they have to choose their words carefully? Not surprised you see it that way.

Their poosays for whini g and acting like thy have it so bad being white...like many of the crybabies here lately.

[Artista 460]

 

 

 

I feel sorry for the kids today. They have to to put up with this sh!t. They live in a world I am very thankful I don't have to grow up in. :middlefinger: to those who made it this way.

Did you put this in my nex gen thread? mmmm?

We should talk about it...all sides of it

but certain factions of each race are still not mature and civil enough to have such conversations.

 

And what white supremacy are re you speaking of these days?

[KSB2424 3,174]

Very true. Some people, instead of trying to understand one another or add anything constructive to the conversation, immediately go to things like this:

 

really focking stupid

 

Bunch of sobbing cvnts up in here

 

He has a serious mental problem

[IGotWorms 4,063]

Sorry but those are perfect descriptors of you and RLLD.

 

Well not the part about the mental problem as to you; that's RLLD only. I don't think you have a mental problem but I do think you aren't particularly thoughtful and lack testicular fortitude. Also you're often quite disingenuous. But not crazy. HTH

We need a good discussion about race in this country. I agree with you. It's very hard to do in this environment when all sides are not having the debates needed because of both factions accusing the other of not understanding the other. The powers that be do not want a serious conversation to resolve it. They want us divided. And they win and we lose.

Preemie, you endure a lot of mockery and a abuse around here. So I'm going to do you the respect of discussing the topic civilly with you. No jokes, no bullsh!t.

 

Martin Luther king's dream was a world where color did not exist. Where men are judged by the content of their character, not the color of his skin. That is a noble goal, and I support any stride in that direction.

 

Are we there yet? No. Will we be in our lifetimes? Doubtful. But my god, look at the progress that has been made! Fifty years ago, blacks couldn't eat at a lunch counter. Today, we have a black Supreme Court justice ruling on the actions of a black president. I genuinely feel that the majority of the population, the vast majority, honestly is indignant about honest to god racism and unfair practices. I honestly believe most people in this country do not use race as a factor while judging individuals.

 

But you do not get closer to a colorblind society by implementing racial quotas in colleges. You do not get closer by creating a society that rewards victimhood.

 

White people, who are genuinely not racist, are tired of constantly being blamed for the actions of their grandparents and great grandparents. It's time for people to stand up. I will strongly support anyone who attempts to thwart any attempts to stop them.

Seems to me in America, being privlidged has less to do with race and more to do with "class". Of course I don't look at everything in life through a prism of race.

 

I'm looking at my sons 1st grade public school classroom. It's a mixed bag of Whites, Blacks, Mexicans, a couple Indian and Asians. Each of those kids has an equal chance to succeed if they do well in school. There are no hurdles for none of those kids if they try hard in school. The only hurdles are the ones they may have to get over at home if the parents don't do their jobs.

 

Learning about your privilege calls for a proper dissection of the hurdles and prejudices facing those with non-privileged status, things that naturally won't come to your mind. And more than that, it's not just about what you don't have to put up with, it's enjoying the benefit of the doubt toward positive traits you may or may not actually possess. You're trustworthy, you're intelligent before proven otherwise. A black man, a woman in general, there's a myriad of subtle ways it's reinforced to you that you're starting from being in the hole, perceptually.

 

In seriousness (was trying to get a devil's advocate conversation going with that post), this MTV show reminds me of this talk.

[IGotWorms 4,063]

Maybe you were trying to go devil's advocate but that was pretty spot-on.

ANGELES (AP) – The long-expected moment when Latinos surpassed whites as California's largest racial or ethnic group has come and gone.

 

Hispanic Californians began to narrowly outnumber white Californians sometime in the first half of 2014, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures released in late June.

 

The state had some 14.99 million Latinos compared with about 14.92 million non-Hispanic whites as of July 1, 2014, the most recent data available. Together, the two groups make up nearly 80 percent of the state's population.

[Sho Nuff 720]

What does that have to do with this thread? And do you have an hour opinion about it?

 

It was sad when you would start a new thread for every copy and paste job you would do...almost worse when you now just do it in random topics.

[Voltaire 5,534]

I'd like to turn in my white privilege card. It's like new, I never figured out how to use it. It's totally useless as far as I can tell.

 

I want the oppressed minority victim card, it's much more valuable these days. I want to be in the cool kids club. It comes with the equivalent an extra 200 bonus points on the SAT test and the sympathy of liberals everywhere. I don't want anything to do with those white a$$holes who created, invented, cured, discovered, thought about, explored and explained everything worthwhile for the past 600 years. Some of them did bad things a long time ago and the modern version are limp-wristed candyass pu$$ies ashamed of themselves. Fock 'em.

 

Does anybody have crib notes explaining why the OJ jury decision made perfect sense? I'm having trouble coming up with talking points. Thanks.

[Baker Boy 1,711]

It's like you come in here trying to prove how stupid you are when no one is arguing that with you in the first place.

 

Let me see, I got the free college education paid for by you, I got the cushy work study job that so many of you wanted, I got the great job over others that were more qualified, and I can't be fired short of stealing or killing someone and I am the stupid one?

Yo Holmes,

 

I be needin' the info on why our cat OJ didn' do nothin' wrong. Everthin' I got is all guilty sh*t, man. Fo' sho' he didn' do nothin'. Can you hook a brotha up? Peace homie.

That is a lie! You do not get extra SAT points for being a minority, an outright lie!

(Or I'm dumb as hell, lol!)

 

Europeans invented, cured, discovered, explored and explained EVERYTHING worthwhile??

How are you living in China and let those words even enter your brain?

Yes, Europe since the 1500's has provided the world with a great many things, but prior to that...??? Hmm, not so much happening in comparison to other countries.

 

Plenty of other groups have explored and settled...hence the world population not all located within the African continent!!!

How stupid to say whites discovered lands that had people living on them!

The people living there got there before the Europeans!! They discovered it first! Duh!!

 

Some white people did bad things a long time ago? How long is a long time ago?? Cause I'd say apartheid, Jim Crow, the Holocaust, WWII, WWI, The Trans-Atlantic Slave trade...what happened to all of the natives that lived in the Americas and in the Caribbean? Who killed them??

 

I'll explain the OJ verdict after you explain the Rodney King verdict and follow it up by the Zimmerman verdict.

 

As long as you want to shut down the conversation by claiming that blacks are whiny complainers then there is no chance for you to learn, understand or even see the impediments that continue to plague many African Americans.

 

...and that doesn't mean that all the fault lies on the shoulders of white America from now until perpetuity. That does not mean there shouldn't be harsh and severe criticism laid on the steps of black American culture. Both conversations need to happen.

 

The bottom line is that whether or not you like blacks, respect blacks or wish they'd all go away, we're here and it would help matters if we could learn to see each other in an honest light. The news media and entertainment has greatly skewed who we all are, imo.

[Sho Nuff 720]

OJ was focking guilty...cops with Rodney were likely guilty too

Zimmerman...is an idiot and an ass...but evidence looks like he shot to protect himself while getting his ass beat.

 

BTW, you should have sensed some of the sarcasm/humor in volty's post I think.

 

 

And I agree that both conversations need to happen...with ignorant racist white america...and with hateful racist black america.

[Mungwater 601]

Just curious, what % of white people does anyone think are racist? You know they're out there, but I'm guessing it's 10% tops.

 

Court cases we all weren't a part of? I have no idea. Oh was guilty, king was assaulted by the cops, Zimmerman was a moron and unfortunately a kid is dead because of him.

 

Does Pennie think we are all going to side with the people we share the color with, like whoopi and Bill Cosby?

[Sho Nuff 720]

admitting to be racist...maybe 10%.

Actually racist...probably much more than that (at least in some ways).

If say less. Once the baby boomers are dead from the south, maybe 5%. I'm talking pure unforgiving a-holes who hate all.

 

Twenty years ago I ran into a lot of those kinds. Today, barely ever.

Unforgiving yes.

But plenty who would just as easily throw the n-word out there and talk crap about other races as anything else.

There is plenty of it...though...yes, it should keep shrinking as people die off.

[Magnificent Bastard 192]

I don't want any part of this conversation we are all supposed to have. It sounds so stupid.

You may end up with less pure racists, but you will have more people who are resentful of being labeled racist or "priveleged"

Depends what you mean by racist.

 

Hard core white supremacists? Very small.

 

People who like to tell racist jokes? A lot, including most of us here.

 

People who avoid black neighborhoods and make sure their car door is locked when a thuggish looking black guy walks by? Most white people honestly.

 

And honestly, at this point, the "movement" often hurts the cause. Here is an example.

 

As a white male, an employer takes almost no risk hiring me. I I suck, he can cut me loose immediately with no consequences.

 

A black woman on the other hand? Well now he's afraid to hire her, because she's very hard to get rid of if it doesn't work out.

Do you really believe race/ethnicity has nothing to do one's life situation? I wish that were true...

Depends how it is defined, but I bet the vast majority of us make decisions based on race at some point in our lives. Some of those decisions may be justified, but others are bigoted assumptions based purely on stereotypes.
