Every action creates a reaction. Racism, over time, has been an action that is responsible for the creation of economic, cultural, psychological and geographical reactions, among others.
Downplaying the impact of racism, past and present, on the black condition is playing up the theory of black inferiority. Ergo, either society nurtured blacks to be unequal, via racism, or it’s the nature of blacks to perform below whites. Saying racism did not create inequality is saying that the nature of blacks did.
Racism has never required or needed 100% of whites to be on board, in order for it to be real and damaging to blacks. It does not even require 50%. What percent of the people of a city need to engage in violent criminal behavior to make the city unsafe, when one person can create a crime wave? Ergo, what percent of whites need to be racist to prevent equal opportunity for blacks?
Saying blacks make poor choices in life, thus explaining their condition, is saying blacks are mentally inferior. Why would a black mind not be able to choose as well as a white mind, if not for inferiority?
Many whites today do not self-describe or want to see themselves as racist. They vehemently reject the label and it brings them discomfort.
Many whites believe that a TRUTH cannot be racist. Ergo, many whites don’t see their own racism or the racism of others because they see the disparaging remarks or actions against blacks rooted in TRUTHS. If a person believes black inferiority is a self-evident TRUTH, then they will not see such beliefs as racism.
The nucleus of racism is the belief of innate differences in the races that account for different behavior and performance, such as intellect, violence, athletics, etc. Hate is NOT the core or telltale sign of racism. Many men both love women and believe women are inferior to men. Ergo, there is no natural relationship between hate and racist beliefs.
Whites do not have the ability to read the minds of other whites and of course blacks do not either. Ergo, if a white person says or does something that seems racist, other whites has no standing in his defense. Many people cannot even see their own racism, let alone what’s in the mind of a stranger.
Say that black = A and inferiority = C. Hence A = C means that blacks are inferior. Therefore, arguing that A = B is clearly the proposition of a racist. People, therefore, in order to circumvent seething themselves or being seen by others as racist, will argue A = B then argue separately that B = C. Logically, though, if A = B and B = C……then you are still arguing that A = C.
One can glean a better understanding from a video of an event than a photo of the same event. When a video exist that includes the exact frame captured in the photo, yet, someone only wants to show you the photo……..it’s because they don’t want you to have a better understanding of truth. They want to leave out the actual history so that they can replace it with their own narrative. Ergo, many people’s views on blacks are based upon statistical snapshots, which they then want to separate from American history of what was done to blacks.
There is no relationship between how often or how tired a person is of hearing an argument and the veracity of the argument. In other words, saying something often or rarely saying something has no relationship to its validity. Not wanting to hear something or being tired of hearing something, as well as, wanting and liking to hear something has no relationship to the validity of that something. Ergo, being tired of hearing about racism is not a counter argument.
Blacks can be and are racist, but it is different in degree and kind than white racism. Much of what is considered black racism is a reaction to white racism. Ergo, remember that every action produces a reaction, from above? Much of black sentiment toward whites is rooted in how “whites” treated blacks so badly historically. It’s not rooted beliefs of intellectual, temperamental, emotional, etc, superiority over another race. There are also like 5 whites for every 1 black in this country and blacks disproportionately lack power to impede the white “collective”, economically. Psychical harm through violence to individual whites would be how it could manifest, but based upon black on black rates of violence, blacks are too busy hating and harming themselves, as a result of history, than harming whites.
Terms like "race card"...."race baiting" are strategies to put people who talk about and expose racism on the defensive. Some people want to make those who expose racism more uncomfortable than those who are racist.
Attempting to discredit what one black person says, by using the words of another black person, does not make the counter argument more tenable because a black person is saying it rather than a white person.
Attempting to excuse racism for the black condition, while attempting to blame liberalism, is a fallacy, for would blacks be so "liberal" if not for the history of so much racism? Ergo, black liberalism, to a large degree, is a reaction to "Racism". Black liberalism is a reaction/consequence of white racism. Again, every action creates a reaction. Its simply one of the many reactions to white racism.
I am going to come back and update with other thoughts.
