Zone1 Common Arguments Used By Racists And How To Respond To Them

[IM2]

I have read many interesting things over the years; one is a concept I read in a blog by a writer whose online name is Abagond. It is called the “Teflon Theory of American History.” It makes a lot of sense if you engage right-wing whites on issues of race. TheTeflon Theory of American history states:“That anything that took place over 30 years ago is Ancient History. It has Absolutely No Effect on the present. Or not much. Unless it was something good like the light bulb or the Declaration of Independence. Therefore those who make a big deal of the bad stuff in the past, are Living in the Past and need to Get Over It".
This is the prime defense used to deny not only the existence of current racism, but the cumulative effect on 247 years of racism in America against non white population.

Common Arguments Used By Racists And How To Respond To Them​

5. “Racism is a thing of the past. Why can’t we just move on?”

Actually, systematic racism is still alive and well today due to our country’s history of oppressing minorities, especially black people, for centuries. Racism exists today in economic, social, and political forms. There are countless examples of this, but one of the most egregious is the gap in economic success between black and white Americans. Through centuries of denying black people the chance to build generational wealth and economic security through slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, school segregation and more, black people face significantly worse economic conditions than white people.

"Systemic racism" has to be one of the biggest strawman arguments of all time.

Blame "the system"...."The system" can't defend itself.

White people have much to apologize to indigenous people for. Teaching them to read and write in their own language quit having babies out of wedlock aren't two of them.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Racists racist. It's what they do, the filth. Don't let them make decisions. Laugh at them in publicly. Vote against them at every turn. Never let your children dates theirs unless you have racist grandchildren and have to abort them before birth.

So do not vote for Democrats? Their policies have destroyed the Black family.

Many whites can't write in their own language and have babies out of wedlock.

Why do white racist republicans continue telling this lie?

Stuff happens even`in the best of families. Doesn't mean we should give up altogether.

Denying reality doesn’t actually change it.

/---/ You can't legislate morality. And you can't force Hamas to like Jews. But to correct your misleading statement: 5. “Slavery is a thing of the past. Why can’t we just move on?”

 

[Hector12]

White racism is the result of black social pathology.

If most blacks behaved and performed as well as most whites there would be few racial problems.

Some white Gentiles dislike Jews and East Asians. Jews and East Asians still tend to be more prosperous than white Gentiles because they tend to perform and behave better.

Most white folks are tired of blacks feeling sorry for themselves and blaming us for their problems.

When the Supreme Court rules against affirmative action in hiring decisions, and as our economy requires more intelligence to earn a good income, the poverty of blacks will increase.

Who has given up? How about you drop the racism?

If you can't legislate morality, then we don't have laws to punisg rapists, murderers, etc.

White racism is not a thing of the past.

Said by a white man. The very type that gets special treatment.

So Black people destroyed their own family units? That's nice.

Black family units were not destroyed. I grew up in one.
