OPINION: Being black means constantly rendering yourself unthreatening to white people

[IM2]

Do you think the fact white women benefiting from Affirmative Action more than other minorities is an accident ...

I think the idea of white woman benefiting from Affirmative Action more than racial minorities, is a crock - designed to promote Affirmative Action, and deflect criticism of it.

And just because some liberal (heavily biased) think tank, university, or media outlet says something, doesn't prove a damn thing. Their studies have been caught FALSE numerously. (ex. the Stephens-Davidowitz racism study)

No crock, fact.

 

[protectionist]

Probably his one.

HA HA. Bad choice of picture. Can't even see who's in it. But if we want to compare rioting, blacks lose big. Bad choice of comparisons too

Oh you can tell alright. And you don't want to compare rioting. You'll start crying if we do so.

Let me help you see. I know you are in your 70's so eyesight might be a problem.

This big enough for ya?

How about this one?

And exactly what were these white people rioting for? Some unjust legal decision relative to a murder of an unarmed white by cops?

No. A pumpkin festival and a hockey game

You're hanging yourself. Occasionally some white college kids go nuts when their team wins a big game. Big deal. That's all small potatoes to black riots that kill people and cause BILLIONS$$ in damages.

In the Rodney KIng LA riot, 54 people died. That's way more than all the white people riots ever. And Rodney king was not an unjust action by cops. Rodney King was the bad guy. The cops were the good guys and KTLA distorted the tape to make the cops look bad.

 

[protectionist]

No crock, fact.

In YOUR mind, anyway. I suppose you'd believe the Stephens-Davidowitz racism study, too, right ? Sure, the New York Times believed it. Bwa ha ha ha ha.

Joy-Ann Reid Everyday racism in America: Being black means constantly rendering yourself unthreatening to white people
To be white in America is to assume ownership of public spaces. To be black is to live under constant threat of removal.

Thus, being black or brown in America means living under that constant threat of removal. And yet there is really no way to render yourself unthreatening enough to prevent that 911 call. At the same time, you are expected to act grateful for being “allowed” to be here at all (see: Trump suggesting NFL players who kneel during the national anthem should "maybe" be deported). As if we had a choice.

Reversing everyday racism means somehow getting white Americans to recognize and cede this presumption of sole ownership of public spaces, and to see in each person of color an individual humanity. Thankfully, many of our fellow Americans have already embraced this ecumenical idea, as we can see from individual acts of ally-ship. Inside that now infamous Philadelphia Starbucks, for example, white patrons formed a chorus of outrage as police dragged two black men out in handcuffs for doing nothing more than sitting in a shared space.

Importantly, black and brown Americans cannot do this work for their white peers. The work of anti-racism can only take place inside each individual soul, where we all try to grow into better people. There is no national tonic or instant cure.
​

Does anyone else know if the rise in these incidents has anything to do with the government encouraging people to "see something say something" and then it turned into something else?

There is a basic expectation of behavior in public spaces

“Inside voice” is a common thought

If groups of blacks are roudy, profane and aggressive it creats the image of a threat

 

[protectionist]

It is true and white men are bot discriminated against. White women are the number 1 beneficiary of the policy, so there is not all those losing jobs because of the things you imagine. Now if you want to make claims your opinion must be supported by information that supports your premise. If you don't want recognize fact, or present it then your argument has no merit.

HA HA HA. Listen to the liberal laying down the terms of what we "MUST" do, here in USMB.

EARTH TO IM2: referring to liberal (heavily biased) think tank, university, or media outlet "information" (aka PROPAGANDA) is merely YOUR criteria, nothing more. It doesn't fly with the majority of AMERCANS who voted for Donald Trump.
And if you think we MUST succumb to it, you're either full-blown nuts, or not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Now >> and stop trying to hide behind all your cute little studies that you think are so cool.

Sorry bud but that's how you have decent debates. You assert a premise then you support It. If you assert the premise and can't support it, your argument has no merit. You have made a claim, therefore information should exist that supports it. The majority of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton.

Just because your definition of "support" differs from mine (and the majority of Americans) doesn't mean you have an inch of edge in debate.

And your half-ass definition of support (liberal [heavily biased] think tank, university, or media outlet "information" -aka PROPAGANDA), doesn't even support your claim that >> "The majority of Americans voted for Hillary Clinton."

Yeah ? And who came up with that ? You got a study that proves it ? That's a rhetorical question. I'll answer it. NO, you don't. So it'll be ME, who's "sorry" for YOU.

To be honest......no
Culturally, blacks tend to be more boisterous in public spaces. Whites may interpret it incorrectly, but they come off as loud, roudy and aggressive

Is that the same Joy Reid who posted anti gay remarks on her blog site? Funny how she's "sensitive" about slights to the "black or brown" community but not so much about slights to gay people! Gotta love you libs!
