Racial Microaggressions

[AKIP]

My theory about "microaggressions" and "triggering" is that it's all a bunch of nonsense.

I didn't hear about "Safe Space" until mid-2016. IMO, it's a bunch of Marxist professor-concocted PC garbage.

As whites become less and less racist, many blacks become increasingly desperate to find racism, thus the fine tuning of it down to the micro level. Of course, they are indulging in it quite openly on the macro level, but utter hypocrisy sure never stopped anybody, has it?

The past has consequences. Take a spouse with a long history of infidelity. The spouse is trying to clean up his or her act. A big project has come up at work requiring the spouse to work late into the night on many days. Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply suspect because of the demonstration of the same patterns that previously were due to infidelity? Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply trying to protect him or herself from being used and hurt yet again?

Sure, racism happens a lot less than blacks think it does....but its not unnatural and should not be unexpected that blacks assume racism given the history of this nation. It happens (racism), however, a lot more than whites think it does, which is rather unnatural given the history of this nation and how intransigent most people are in their beliefs and views.

Racism and homosexuality have flipped flopped. There was a time where racism was socially acceptable and homosexuality was not. Racist were out in the open and homosexuals were in hiding. Homosexuals, because it was not socially acceptable, carried and presented themselves as heterosexuals. They married, had children and went about in an effort to be undetected as homosexual. Some, however, found ways to meet up with other homosexuals clandestinely to actualize on their real attractions. Back then, it did not seem like there were a lot of homosexuals relative to today when social acceptance brought them out the closet.

Today, racist do what homosexuals used to do. They try to blend in as non racist. They have friends who are black or maybe even romantic relationships with people who are black. They don't openly say racist things and they know what things not to say. The penalty today, for being an overt racist, is similar to the penalty of being overtly gay in an era where homosexuality was not accepted. A racist whites person in hiding, can commit an act of discrimination unbeknownst to any other white person. The black person may then accuse that person of being racist.......then all other white folks jump in the white persons defense, because they never heard him say the N word and that he has black friends.

Keep in mind that Dylan Roof, the white guy who shot those 10 blacks in a church in SC had a black friend. White people can be racist and their racism not known and shared with other whites, just like people can and have been homosexual and never share that they are homosexual with others....unless they feel that they are the same way. Some whites, however, want us to believe that if a white person is racist, he will share that with friends and family. That is the way is used to be, but today there is too much of a cost professionally and morally in being an out in the open racist. The fact that people try to hide their racism seems to be lost among many whites who will only acknowledge racism as an issue if it is out in the open. How many times have you heard on the news the neighbor say their neighbor accused of some crime like child molestation or something else...."was a nice guy" or "did not have a clue" etc? That happens MOST of the time. You will not know if you are living next to a sex offender unless its reported. They will not share it with you. Yet, people don't want to say the same about racist. People act as if racist go around announcing and sharing it and that blacks are just making it all up......

The ultimate goal of racist......is to discredit blacks claims of racism, leaving only black inferiority to blame for the black condition of inequality. Its like the guy who just walked into a sworn of gnats. The only thing is that other people cannot see the gnats, but just see the guy flinging his arm and seemingly acting mentally unstable. The racist, analogously speaking, does not want people to know that the black person has walked into a sworn of gnats. The racist just want people to think the black guy is naturally crazy.

.....or you can start taking responsibility for your behavior without blaming white people for your various shortcomings. It's this mantle of victimhood you wear that acts as a self-fulfilling prophesy. You scrutinize whites for even the mere trace of racism, while expressing such hostility and lack of introspection towards your own behavior that you keep yourselves down better than any white person could. Our country has seen two full generations of black privilege when it comes to educational and work opportunities, yet you walk around with this yoke around your necks that prevents you from succeeding.

If you want a recipe for failure, you can't do much better than expressing constant hostility towards white people, refusing to learn the lesson of racism by being racist, yourselves, and Uncle Tomming your fellow blacks if they "act white" by not being racist just like you. You want to get ahead? Drop the enormous chip on your shoulder that acts as a crutch, start valuing hard work and education, take responsibility for instilling decent values in your children and start holding yourselves to the same standards as you do white people when it comes to racism.

Yet, you don't see the self fulfilling prophecy created from whites who assume blacks are inferior....ie, poor choice makers, personally irresponsible, violent, etc , relative to whites? Its whites assuming the worst in blacks, then treating blacks differently based upon those beliefs, that creates the self fulfilling prophecy of the worst in blacks.

If I don't blame racism for black shortcomings....whats/who is to blame? How come we come up shorter than whites? Are you not implicitly saying that "Stop blaming racism for blacks coming up shorter THAN WHITES"? Are not "whites" your implicit baseline? If whites were coming up just as short....would you be commenting about blacks? If you are not saying that then you are creating a distinction without a difference by only calling out blacks. Its implicitly racist to argue that blacks "come up short", then try to discredit all the reasons that blacks come up short, minus the nature of being black. Then you act as if blacks are on a Salem Witch Hunt for racism, while you are guilty of practicing black magic.

Blacks are SURVIVORS of racism.....not victims of racism. We have a survivor mentality, not a victim mentality. Survivors fight....victims remain passive.

My theory about "microaggressions" and "triggering" is that it's all a bunch of nonsense.

I didn't hear about "Safe Space" until mid-2016. IMO, it's a bunch of Marxist professor-concocted PC garbage.

As whites become less and less racist, many blacks become increasingly desperate to find racism, thus the fine tuning of it down to the micro level. Of course, they are indulging in it quite openly on the macro level, but utter hypocrisy sure never stopped anybody, has it?

The past has consequences. Take a spouse with a long history of infidelity. The spouse is trying to clean up his or her act. A big project has come up at work requiring the spouse to work late into the night on many days. Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply suspect because of the demonstration of the same patterns that previously were due to infidelity? Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply trying to protect him or herself from being used and hurt yet again?

Sure, racism happens a lot less than blacks think it does....but its not unnatural and should not be unexpected that blacks assume racism given the history of this nation. It happens (racism), however, a lot more than whites think it does, which is rather unnatural given the history of this nation and how intransigent most people are in their beliefs and views.

They don't openly say racist things and they know what things not to say. The penalty today, for being an overt racist, is similar to the penalty of being overtly gay in an era where homosexuality was not accepted. A racist whites person in hiding, can commit an act of discrimination unbeknownst to any other white person. The black person may then accuse that person of being racist.......then all other white folks jump in the white persons defense, because they never heard him say the N word and that he has black friends.

Keep in mind that Dylan Roof, the white guy who shot those 10 blacks in a church in SC had a black friend. White people can be racist and their racism not known and shared with other whites, just like people can and have been homosexual and never share that they are homosexual with others....unless they feel that they are the same way.

That happens MOST of the time. You will not know if you are living next to a sex offender unless its reported. They will not share it with you. Yet, people don't want to say the same about racist. People act as if racist go around announcing and sharing it and that blacks are just making it all up......

The ultimate goal of racist......is to discredit blacks claims of racism, leaving only black inferiority to blame for the black condition of inequality. Its like the guy who just walked into a sworn of gnats. The only thing is that other people cannot see the gnats, but just see the guy flinging his arm and seemingly acting mentally unstable. The racist, analogously speaking, does not want people to know that the black person has walked into a sworn of gnats. The racist just want people to think the black guy is naturally crazy.

.....or you can start taking responsibility for your behavior without blaming white people for your various shortcomings. It's this mantle of victimhood you wear that acts as a self-fulfilling prophesy. You scrutinize whites for even the mere trace of racism, while expressing such hostility and lack of introspection towards your own behavior that you keep yourselves down better than any white person could. Our country has seen two full generations of black privilege when it comes to educational and work opportunities, yet you walk around with this yoke around your necks that prevents you from succeeding.

If you want a recipe for failure, you can't do much better than expressing constant hostility towards white people, refusing to learn the lesson of racism by being racist, yourselves, and Uncle Tomming your fellow blacks if they "act white" by not being racist just like you. You want to get ahead? Drop the enormous chip on your shoulder that acts as a crutch, start valuing hard work and education, take responsibility for instilling decent values in your children and start holding yourselves to the same standards as you do white people when it comes to racism.

Yet, you don't see the self fulfilling prophecy created from whites who assume blacks are inferior....ie, poor choice makers, personally irresponsible, violent, etc , relative to whites? Its whites assuming the worst in blacks, then treating blacks differently based upon those beliefs, that creates the self fulfilling prophecy of the worst in blacks.

If I don't blame racism for black shortcomings....whats/who is to blame? How come we come up shorter than whites? Are you not implicitly saying that "Stop blaming racism for blacks coming up shorter THAN WHITES"? Are not "whites" your implicit baseline? If whites were coming up just as short....would you be commenting about blacks? If you are not saying that then you are creating a distinction without a difference by only calling out blacks. Its implicitly racist to argue that blacks "come up short", then try to discredit all the reasons that blacks come up short, minus the nature of being black. Then you act as if blacks are on a Salem Witch Hunt for racism, while you are guilty of practicing black magic.

Blacks are SURVIVORS of racism.....not victims of racism. We have a survivor mentality, not a victim mentality. Survivors fight....victims remain passive.

The only assumption is your assuming whites are racist.

If you were to define racism as hatred for another race, the black community is filled with it to the brim and the only self-fulfilling prophesy is the one you make for yourselves by all your hostility and hypocrisy. Drop the crutch of all your blame whitey crap and you can succeed. Hold on to it and you won't.

We just had a black president for the last 8 years, so why don't you try growing the fuck up instead of looking for the teensiest expression of racism from whites while indulging in your own hatred of white people to the nth degree?

Microaggressions.

I don't like those, either.

The white woman who works behind the counter of a convenience store and calls black men (or others) who come in the door "honey" and "sir" and all that shit until she takes their money and orders them off the property sans their purchased goods, and accuses them of theft on top of that.

I've seen it all.

My theory about "microaggressions" and "triggering" is that it's all a bunch of nonsense.

I didn't hear about "Safe Space" until mid-2016. IMO, it's a bunch of Marxist professor-concocted PC garbage.

As whites become less and less racist, many blacks become increasingly desperate to find racism, thus the fine tuning of it down to the micro level. Of course, they are indulging in it quite openly on the macro level, but utter hypocrisy sure never stopped anybody, has it?

The past has consequences. Take a spouse with a long history of infidelity. The spouse is trying to clean up his or her act. A big project has come up at work requiring the spouse to work late into the night on many days. Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply suspect because of the demonstration of the same patterns that previously were due to infidelity? Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply trying to protect him or herself from being used and hurt yet again?

Sure, racism happens a lot less than blacks think it does....but its not unnatural and should not be unexpected that blacks assume racism given the history of this nation. It happens (racism), however, a lot more than whites think it does, which is rather unnatural given the history of this nation and how intransigent most people are in their beliefs and views.

Racism and homosexuality have flipped flopped. There was a time where racism was socially acceptable and homosexuality was not. Racist were out in the open and homosexuals were in hiding. Homosexuals, because it was not socially acceptable, carried and presented themselves as heterosexuals. They married, had children and went about in an effort to be undetected as homosexual. Some, however, found ways to meet up with other homosexuals clandestinely to actualize on their real attractions. Back then, it did not seem like there were a lot of homosexuals relative to today when social acceptance brought them out the closet.

Today, racist do what homosexuals used to do. They try to blend in as non racist. They have friends who are black or maybe even romantic relationships with people who are black. They don't openly say racist things and they know what things not to say. The penalty today, for being an overt racist, is similar to the penalty of being overtly gay in an era where homosexuality was not accepted. A racist whites person in hiding, can commit an act of discrimination unbeknownst to any other white person. The black person may then accuse that person of being racist.......then all other white folks jump in the white persons defense, because they never heard him say the N word and that he has black friends.

Keep in mind that Dylan Roof, the white guy who shot those 10 blacks in a church in SC had a black friend. White people can be racist and their racism not known and shared with other whites, just like people can and have been homosexual and never share that they are homosexual with others....unless they feel that they are the same way. Some whites, however, want us to believe that if a white person is racist, he will share that with friends and family. That is the way is used to be, but today there is too much of a cost professionally and morally in being an out in the open racist. The fact that people try to hide their racism seems to be lost among many whites who will only acknowledge racism as an issue if it is out in the open. How many times have you heard on the news the neighbor say their neighbor accused of some crime like child molestation or something else...."was a nice guy" or "did not have a clue" etc?

We just had a black president for the last 8 years, so why don't you try growing the fuck up instead of looking for the teensiest expression of racism from whites while indulging in your own hatred of white people to the nth degree?

I can only assume WHAT YOU DO NOT TELL ME! I can't read minds....hence, unless someone can read minds they are making ASSUMPTIONS about what is in the minds of others. I ASSUME that if a white person argues in such a way to eliminate all possible causes for blacks to "come up short" relative to whites, except, the NATURE OF BEING BLACK, that the person is racist. Is that so illogical?

Rarely anyone will say that they are racist......but many people are. Thus, when people reason like racist one is left to ASSUME they are racist, minus the confession.

For what its worth, for those of lesser intellect and or integrity, saying someone is assuming does not infer that THEY ARE THUS WRONG. Saying someone is blaming others does not infer that the BLAME IS MISPLACED. Saying a people have a victim mentality is not SAYING THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VICTIMS. Characterizing a persons argument IS NOT DEBUNKING an argument.

You cannot argue what happened to Blacks in the country......you just have to find a way to discredit people for bringing that up and that, therefore, becomes the bases for dissent. Telling a person who has been shot.....that their problem is a "pain mentality" is a keen grasp of the obvious.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Microagressions are not a serious problem, or a problem at all, being unable to cope, is.

My thoughts?

The author of the book disagrees with your thoughts - She says further: "Microaggressions aren't always delivered in words. It's the woman who grabs her purse as you walk by. The store clerk following you around. The person speaking loudly and slowly to you because you probably don't understand English. The person locking their car door as you walk past their vehicle. The high-end sales clerk who assumes you didn't come to shop. The fellow customers who assume you are an employee. The people who decide to take the next elevator. The kids whose parents say that they can't come play with your kid.

For nonwhites, racial microaggressions find a way into every part of every day."

I personally fail to see how something that finds a way into every part of every day can be considered not a serious problem.

Waah

Yes, but it was a small minority who did so. They hardly speak for all white people, nor does it justify all the hatred of whites by blacks.

It's a two way street, yet only one group is even held accountable. Racism will not end unless ALL people work towards the same goal.

We just had a black president for the last 8 years, so why don't you try growing the fuck up instead of looking for the teensiest expression of racism from whites while indulging in your own hatred of white people to the nth degree?

I was actually thinking about President Obama when I read your last post. He and his wife did all of the things you say black folks should do, and still they were depicted as monkeys, called all kinds of racial slurs, told to go back to Kenya, criticized for all most everything they did. Some folks say they want something but really don't know how to deal with it when it actually happens.

You know I didn't like about Obama? His black half was not Black American, and his mom and mentor were Communists.

The past has consequences. Take a spouse with a long history of infidelity. The spouse is trying to clean up his or her act. A big project has come up at work requiring the spouse to work late into the night on many days. Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply suspect because of the demonstration of the same patterns that previously were due to infidelity? Is the other spouse looking for infidelity or simply trying to protect him or herself from being used and hurt yet again?

Sure, racism happens a lot less than blacks think it does....but its not unnatural and should not be unexpected that blacks assume racism given the history of this nation. It happens (racism), however, a lot more than whites think it does, which is rather unnatural given the history of this nation and how intransigent most people are in their beliefs and views.

Racism and homosexuality have flipped flopped. There was a time where racism was socially acceptable and homosexuality was not. Racist were out in the open and homosexuals were in hiding. Homosexuals, because it was not socially acceptable, carried and presented themselves as heterosexuals. They married, had children and went about in an effort to be undetected as homosexual. Some, however, found ways to meet up with other homosexuals clandestinely to actualize on their real attractions. Back then, it did not seem like there were a lot of homosexuals relative to today when social acceptance brought them out the closet.

Today, racist do what homosexuals used to do. They try to blend in as non racist. They have friends who are black or maybe even romantic relationships with people who are black. They don't openly say racist things and they know what things not to say. The penalty today, for being an overt racist, is similar to the penalty of being overtly gay in an era where homosexuality was not accepted. A racist whites person in hiding, can commit an act of discrimination unbeknownst to any other white person. The black person may then accuse that person of being racist.......then all other white folks jump in the white persons defense, because they never heard him say the N word and that he has black friends.

Keep in mind that Dylan Roof, the white guy who shot those 10 blacks in a church in SC had a black friend. White people can be racist and their racism not known and shared with other whites, just like people can and have been homosexual and never share that they are homosexual with others....unless they feel that they are the same way. Some whites, however, want us to believe that if a white person is racist, he will share that with friends and family. That is the way is used to be, but today there is too much of a cost professionally and morally in being an out in the open racist. The fact that people try to hide their racism seems to be lost among many whites who will only acknowledge racism as an issue if it is out in the open. How many times have you heard on the news the neighbor say their neighbor accused of some crime like child molestation or something else...."was a nice guy" or "did not have a clue" etc? That happens MOST of the time. You will not know if you are living next to a sex offender unless its reported. They will not share it with you. Yet, people don't want to say the same about racist. People act as if racist go around announcing and sharing it and that blacks are just making it all up......

The ultimate goal of racist......is to discredit blacks claims of racism, leaving only black inferiority to blame for the black condition of inequality. Its like the guy who just walked into a sworn of gnats. The only thing is that other people cannot see the gnats, but just see the guy flinging his arm and seemingly acting mentally unstable. The racist, analogously speaking, does not want people to know that the black person has walked into a sworn of gnats. The racist just want people to think the black guy is naturally crazy.

.....or you can start taking responsibility for your behavior without blaming white people for your various shortcomings. It's this mantle of victimhood you wear that acts as a self-fulfilling prophesy. You scrutinize whites for even the mere trace of racism, while expressing such hostility and lack of introspection towards your own behavior that you keep yourselves down better than any white person could. Our country has seen two full generations of black privilege when it comes to educational and work opportunities, yet you walk around with this yoke around your necks that prevents you from succeeding.

If you want a recipe for failure, you can't do much better than expressing constant hostility towards white people, refusing to learn the lesson of racism by being racist, yourselves, and Uncle Tomming your fellow blacks if they "act white" by not being racist just like you. You want to get ahead? Drop the enormous chip on your shoulder that acts as a crutch, start valuing hard work and education, take responsibility for instilling decent values in your children and start holding yourselves to the same standards as you do white people when it comes to racism.

Yet, you don't see the self fulfilling prophecy created from whites who assume blacks are inferior....ie, poor choice makers, personally irresponsible, violent, etc , relative to whites? Its whites assuming the worst in blacks, then treating blacks differently based upon those beliefs, that creates the self fulfilling prophecy of the worst in blacks.

If I don't blame racism for black shortcomings....whats/who is to blame? How come we come up shorter than whites? Are you not implicitly saying that "Stop blaming racism for blacks coming up shorter THAN WHITES"? Are not "whites" your implicit baseline? If whites were coming up just as short....would you be commenting about blacks? If you are not saying that then you are creating a distinction without a difference by only calling out blacks. Its implicitly racist to argue that blacks "come up short", then try to discredit all the reasons that blacks come up short, minus the nature of being black. Then you act as if blacks are on a Salem Witch Hunt for racism, while you are guilty of practicing black magic.

Blacks are SURVIVORS of racism.....not victims of racism. We have a survivor mentality, not a victim mentality. Survivors fight....victims remain passive.

The only assumption is your assuming whites are racist.

If you were to define racism as hatred for another race, the black community is filled with it to the brim and the only self-fulfilling prophesy is the one you make for yourselves by all your hostility and hypocrisy. Drop the crutch of all your blame whitey crap and you can succeed. Hold on to it and you won't.

Yes, but it was a small minority who did so. They hardly speak for all white people, nor does it justify all the hatred of whites by blacks.

It's a two way street, yet only one group is even held accountable. Racism will not end unless ALL people work towards the same goal.

All the hatred of whites by blacks? Could it be that the blacks whom you say hate whites are also a minority and don't speak for all blacks?

No it was not a small minority and no you won't end racism until whites accept their role in it instead of always looking to try pointing fingers at others.
