What Constitutes Racism To You?

[MarcATL]

Wasn't meant to surprise you. Was surprise what you expected?

I still held out hope to be surprised, not much, but I left room for it.

Don't worry, you did as expected.

Clearly, if one is to read the posts and threads on this message board, racism is a big problem in America today.

Most of us naively believed our nation had turned the corner and the vast majority supported equal rights for all of our citizens, and then Obama was elected and the insecure haters came out of the closet.
....

It was you insecure partisans who falsely smeared our principled and ideological opposition to Obama as racism.


That was on you, and you are the one that turned back the clock.

Oh puh leeze. When you have members of Congress calling Obama Tar baby and being uppity it’s all about racism. And don’t go asking for links I’ve put I posted a dozen times on this site I can’t stand that.

I've never called Obama that, and I've was often told that my problem with him was because of race.

Which is worse. Imagine if Obama took the side of Russia and North Korea over intelligence agencies, Republicans heads would agree have exploded.
The reason the GOP base let’s their leadership loot the country is because they’re white.
There is an entire encyclopedia of crap Trump and the Republicans have said that Republicans would’ve gone crazy if Obama said those things.

1. If our intelligence agencies were acting like this under Obama, nope. I would have supported Obama on that.

2. YOur race baiting is noted and held against you. You are a race baiting asshole.

3. Ingroup bias effects everyone. YOur assumption that it is caused by race is you you being a race baiting asshole.

Acting like what?

 

[Correll]

Probably because I don't really take your request seriously either.



rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun

1. prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
   "a program to combat racism"
   synonyms: racial discrimination, racialism, racial prejudice, xenophobia, chauvinism, bigotry, casteism
   "Aborigines are the main victims of racism in Australia"
   • the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
     noun: racism
     "theories of racism"

If you don't take me or my posts seriously, Correll, then it's crystal clear that the only reason you're in this thread, is to troll.

Isn't that a fair assessment?

Nope.

Why else, would a poster, who doesn't take an OP seriously, come into the thread to engage w/that poster, if not to troll?

#ThisIGottaHear

1. Foolish hope.

2. Interest in what the discussion might turn up, despite your intent.

3. Boredom.

4. ect.

It’s a fair question, but the answer is very difficult to determine. In my personal life I don’t see racism. The only exposure I have to it is thru the news and social media, and with the preponderance of both of those, it is easy to assume there is more racism. The liberal mainstream media loves to report on racism, and real racist now have many social media conduits to voice there racism.

My conclusion- I have no personal evidence to suggest there is increasing racism, but I suspect most people think there is more due to the reasons (liberal media, social media) previously stated.

I would ask the OP, as a black man, do you experience more racism in your personal interactions outside of social media (like this forum) and news media?

Why is the answer difficult?

Is it because you live a totally white existence, free from any and all interactions w/blacks and/or other minorities?

Let's face it, racism is basically whites vs blacks. Minorities either side w/one or the other, and most w/sense opt to side w/whites, since they clearly see that blacks are oppressed, and nobody wants to a part of that.

Remember the white guy that screamed "You're treating me like a black person!!!" when he was being arrested? Proof of what I'm talking about.

How the hell could a white guy answer that question? How would they know?

 

[deanrd]

Can you believe this? It was our intelligence agencies that got Trump elected president. And now when they point out what Russia has been doing to this country Republicans defend Russia. This is insane. Could you imagine if Obama did that? Republicans would be calling for his execution.
Of course, I’m sure some are calling for that anyway. He is black. And you know how Republicans hate black.

Imagine if Obama said I like soldiers who weren’t captured. You can’t defend this. It’s indefensible.

I like soldiers who weren’t captured.

Come on Republicans. Defend that. Imagine if Obama said that. Come on, defend it. And then tell me it’s not about race.

He did not claim YOU said anything about Obama and his race. Learn to read without exposing your biases.

I know he did not, and I did not claim that he did.

I presented my personal experience because it contradicts his claim, as to how and when Obama opponents were called racist.


You are the one that just revealed either low reading comprehension and/or bias.

LOL, the honest response was not to attack me, but to offer a mea culpa. Trying to spin when the evidence is in black on white is foolish.

Even republican SHILL, Meghan McCain, said on The View the other day that if Obama had not visited the soldiers, she and every Republican's heads would have exploded.

But she said it matter-of-factly, not that she was prepared to do anything about it, or had any SERIOUS problem with it.

Republicans are hacks. They are partisan. And they are hypocritical. Always have, and always will be, until they are driven out of existence.

BTW, what's wrong w/shaming people for engaging and/or supporting racism?

I have no problem shaming often hateful, apparent slow-to-evolve fellow citizzens embracing illogical, racist beliefs, as long as it is done in an intelligent, civil manner.

Conversely OP, is there anything wrong with shaming a specific population of American females intentionally introducing our Nation;s most precious, as well most vulnerable assets, to an UNHEALTHY, potentially life scarring childhood upbringing fraught with Struggles, PAIN, Hardships, COMMUNITY FEAR, Frustrations, Uncertainty, Depression, Sorrow, Sadness, Torment, Demeaning Government Handouts, Resentment, HATE and COMMUNITY VIOLENCE!?

Sadly, the specific population of American females I am referring to are the black or American girls and women of African descent who most all of President Barack "My Brother's Keeper" and Mrs. Michelle "Girl Power" Obama's American urban story-TRUTH-teller friends and WH guests HATEFULLY denigrate as less than human *itches and *hores, 'hoes' or RATCHET females undeserving of being treated with basic human respect.

Maybe some obscure African King?

Shaka Zulu? Shaft? Superfly?

Clearly that white guy felt he was being treated unfairly by the police.

Any everyone in American knows that blacks get treated unfairly by the police.

He knew he didn't want to be treated like how he sees blacks being treated.

That's why he said what he did.
