CDZ High School Teacher Teaches That ALL Whites Are Guilty of Racism; Why is This Not Itself Racist?

[The Irish Ram]

I wish Whites were racist

No, I am glad we are not so we wont be so easily manipulated as racists are.

The Oligarchs have used racism to manipulate us into stupidity for centuries.

Whites are going to have to become very racist if they wish to survive

No we wont. Our best response is to stick with the system of values that got us here; Judeo-Christianity.

Give yourself a 5 foot personal space and if it is infringed upon by a black thug, draw your gun and watch how fast the perp gives you your space back. Protect yourself.

But not every person with high testosterone is a criminal or violent, in fact my bet is that cops have similarly high levels of testosterone as well..

Sure not everyone with high testosterone will be violent, but on average you will see much more violent crime from blacks due to so many of them having low IQ's and high testosterone levels

"High School Teacher Teaches That ALL Whites Are Guilty of Racism; Why is This Not Itself Racist?"

Look up the definition of racism and you'll see why and you'll see why it isn't.

rac·ism
(rā′sĭz′əm)
n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Ok, so what is your point? What the teacher stated is still very racist to my perspective.

Red:
Well, look at the definition you provided. The teacher's remarks do not indicate s/he espouses racist attitudes or behaviors. What the teacher did is tell his/her students that all whites are guilty of racism. The teacher did nothing to show that his/her own attitudes align with thinking that any race of people is superior to others by dint of race alone.

• Declaring that a class of people are racist is not to discriminate against them. To racially discriminate against one or a group is to take a action -- to deny or grant a job, an opportunity, safety, health, life, etc. -- toward them based on the fact that they are of a given race or not a member of a given race. What did the teacher do that denies one or several white folks any such thing? Nothing.
• Did the teacher express that s/he thinks whites are superior or inferior to non-whites because of their being white? No.

Thus my point is that given the very definition of racism, the teacher's remarks are not racist. You see, not every controversial or potentially pejorative statement that has some element of race in it is racist. Is it racist if I say/believe, "Black folks are good at swimming and not good at lacrosse, whereas whites are the opposite," and my basis for saying that is merely because of the race of the individuals, my statement is racist. If instead my basis for that is, say, because black folks have webbed fingers and toes, or some innate trait that enhances swimming and compromises one's ability to hold a lacrosse stick, it's not racist at all.

What that teacher did was describe what s/he sees as the nature of white folks without, as least as far as we can tell by the news story, providing any evidence that credibly shows the description to be so. Accordingly, I can see the remarks as being empty generalizations, but alone and absent any further detail, I don't see them as racist. Race matters are quite important in the U.S.; however, for as important as they are, it seems to me that few folks of all races bother to consume information pertaining to race other than their own anecdotal observations and whatever sensational news stories they happen upon. That is a great disservice not only to themselves, but also to the rest of the citizenry.

Off Topic:
Another problem that I've noticed in many discussions here on USMB, but that pretty much doesn't occur in my "real world" life is folks' penchant for assuming that when one says "X is such and such," one necessarily also means "That which is not X is not such and such." For example, in threads where I've entreated for discussion about, say, Donald Trump, folks for some strange reason feel obliged to remark upon Hillary Clinton. The same thing happens with regard to myriad topics. It happens so much that I've come to think that there is an immensely huge share of Americans who quite simply cannot or will not remark upon the topic under discussion and yet for "God only knows what reason," they just have to say something.

I can say that when my teachers, my clients, my friends, my colleagues ask me about something or remark on something, I address the topic at hand, not something else. Think about that for a moment....just how successful would one be, for example, were one to:

• As a fast food restaurant cashier, be asked about the burgers and respond about the chicken sandwich?
• As a plumber, be asked about the toilet and respond about the sink?
• As a doctor, be asked about appendicitis and respond about gallstones?

As absurd as that sounds, that is essentially what folks here do time and time again. Just moments ago, I encountered exactly that behavior again.

I think in discussions about race, that sort of thinking -- something positive or negative said about one race is taken to mean the opposite isn't so about non-members of that race -- prevails, resulting in questions such as the one in your thread title. Was that thought process going on in your mind, OP? I don't know. Was it?

Look up the definition of racism and you'll see why and you'll see why it isn't.

It is racism to the core. Instead of math classes teachers are forcing the white students to their knees, literally, while being accused of being privileged and white.
I would have sat in on one of those classes just to watch them try to get my white privileged girls on their knees. Mine would have been rolling on the floor, laughing their asses off, because their privilege came from their mom and dad's and their hard work, and they know it.

Merely making an accusation of being privileged is not racism nor is it indicative of racism being present in the heart and mind of the accuser.

It is when you single out a race and "teach" the others to ridicule them for being successful. A teachers job is to teach, not to assert their agenda.

It's not even clear that the teacher ridiculed anyone. What is clear is that s/he made an unsubstantiated statement about the nature of white folks. To be called racist is not to be the object of an attestation about one's superiority or inferiority. It is merely an attestation of what, in the speaker's mind, merely is. There is a huge chasm between an existential statement and a judgmental one. Your remarks show that you are conflating the two types of statements.

Here the left teaches that the phrase "to be a man" is toxic masculinity!

Lol, these people are idiots, but how do they think this helps their cause?

Is the elite so afraid of the working class that they plan to rob us of our masculinity altogether?

Students told term 'be a man' represents toxic masculinity - The College Fix

‘Lesson made it seem like masculinity was an unacceptable human trait’

Gettysburg College freshman James Goodman began his first moments of higher education by being lectured by campus leaders about “toxic masculinity,” he tells The College Fix in an interview.

Students who “identify as male” were shown a docudrama film about masculinity. The film, titled “The Mask You Live In,” was part of the lessons warning students that the notion of masculinity comes with harmful side effects, he said.

According to the trailer of the film, it teaches that the “three most destructive words” a boy can hear growing up is “be a man.” Experts quoted therein also suggest that violent outbursts are prompted by masculinity pressures because “respect is linked to violence.”

“They really buy into a culture that doesn’t value what we feminize,” says scholar Dr. Niobe Way in the trailer, continuing that people of both genders will “go crazy” under that construct.

Psychiatrist Dr. James Gilligan added “whether it’s homicidal violence or suicidal violence, people resort to such desperate behavior only when they are feeling shame or humiliated, or feel they would be if they didn’t prove that they were real men.”

Few young men would go to college if it wasn't a ticket to a high-paying corporate job. So this emasculation serves the purpose of parasite corporate bullies. Only they have the power to stop it. They don't, so they must want it that way.

This is simply astonishing, that the left is denouncing all whites as racists, to include whites like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

Does the leftwing think that they can win in this country in the future by condemning all whites of Racism no matter what they have done or planned to do?

High schooler records teacher's racism lecture: 'To be white is to be racist, period'

The lecture began with a video about the “Mistreatment of Native Americans” that prompted the student to record the lesson and ended with the teacher’s lecture about racism.

In the video, a man “pulls out this globe with a bottle of white out and marks over a country or a piece of country and puts his name on it,” the student said.

“So he was basically comparing what he had done to the globe to what we did to America,” she said.

When her teacher laid out his theories of racism afterwards, the student said she was stunned.

“To be white is to be racist, period,” the teacher said in the recording. “Am I racist? I say yea. I don’t want to be. It’s not like choose to be racist, but do I do things because of the way I was raised?”

The student was naturally offended by her teacher labeling her a racist.

“Half of my family is Hispanic so I just felt like, you know, him calling me a racist just because I’m white … I mean, where’s your proof in that,” the girl said. “I felt like he was encouraging people to kind of pick on people for being white.”

Her father wasn’t impressed, either, and he contacted school officials and the media to alert them about the situation.


“Why is it okay to demonize one race to children that you are supposed to be teaching a curriculum to?” he asked KFOR.

The fact is that "...race accounts for differences in human...ability..."

The average IQ among native black Africans is 70(!). Average. Statistical fact. Among educated blacks in South Africa, they have soared to an average of 85 - similar to the average among Blacks (and mixed race people) in the U.S.

Of course, that does not mean or imply that NO blacks are intelligent or capable, or greatly accomplished, which is demonstrated constantly. But averages are averages, and facts are facts. Blacks are virtually non-existent among PhD's in the hard sciences, which has nothing to do with racial prejudice, and everything to do with the rarity of intellectually superior African Americans.

Ashkenazi (white) Jews have an average IQ near 115, a whole standard deviation higher than the mean human IQ of 100.

Thus, race accounts for significant differences in human abilities.

If being aware of a FACT makes me a racist, then bring it on. I guess I'm a racist.

You are racist. But not for the reasons you think. LOL @ you thinking a mass IQ test was taken among black Africans. Sounds like one of my uncle's email forwards.

Tell Ben Carson he is "privileged" because he is white........

If you can't see the privilege in growing up as a member of the dominant racial and ethnic group in your home country, there is no hope for you in figuring out any other puzzle or problem in life. You're utterly clueless if you can't grasp this. Or just an asshole.

 

[The Irish Ram]

Because of a thing called numbers all countries have a dominate ethnic group. Nevertheless, in America, there is no right that isn't available to all ethnic groups. Aspire to be a brain surgeon, then be one. Want to be a teacher, then be one. Want to be a ball player, then be one. Want to be a president of the United States, then be one. The opportunities exist regardless of color.
You may be clueless and an asshole, regardless of color.

To Jimmie- anything any teacher says means this is what every liberal believes.

By Jimmie's logic, that means every Trump voter is out there grabbing women's pussies all day long.

Fewer hurdles stop whites from achieving all of those things. If opportunity is equal, and if you're not looking at this through a racist lens, then why have we had 43 of 44 white, male presidents, 95% white congressional representatives, 96% white, male fortune 500 CEOs, etc? Do you believe racial minorities and women simply aren't qualified for these positions? Because if you do believe that, you're a racist asshole.

My granddaughters kindergarten teacher is sending something from the kids to Obama. That is fine, but when his daughter mentioned that her Dad said most presidents lie at some point, her teacher called that a lie and told her that Obama is the best president there has ever been and that people lie about him all the time and he has NEVER lied. And was she ever adamant when she told me the story. And she believed her. Not acceptable in my book.
