What would the left be saying if white Berkeley students had flash mobbed the black racists students

White supremacy is the preservation socioeconomic differentials between blacks and whites, were whites have the much better condition, that were created during the era of legalized racial oppression under the doctrine of belief that whites were superior and blacks were inferior. Thus, white supremacy is the preservation of poverty rates for blacks 3 times higher than for whites, unemployment rates twice that of whites, wealth 15 times greater than blacks, etc, etc. White supremacy is the maintenance of white statistical superiority over blacks......and opposing any means that are designed to equalize those statistics.

Ah, yes...the "means that are designed to equalize those statistics"! Since the 1960's we've poured trillions of dollars into black communities and passed numerous pieces of Affirmative Action legislation, yet the socioeconomic differentials between blacks and whites really hasn't changed. You of course will blame this on "white supremacy" but that begs the question...is it white "racists" that are keeping blacks down in this country or is it nearly 60 years of living on the government "plantation" that's kept the black community from flourishing?

There have not been trillions put in black communities. AA policies included women and white women have benefitted the most from the policy. But in another case of classic white ignorance you are here making dumb race pimped arguments. Whites have been the beneficiary of the government since the government began. That's 243 years. And despite that, there are still poor whites. There has not been any time in American history where whites were denied pay, opportunity or government assistance. Blacks faced this for almost 200 years. But according to your ignorant white ass we are suppose to catch up to whites who are still getting most of the government assistance while hiring white women and counting them as a minority, in 60 years.

The problem IS white supremacy.

Ever hear the expression "Irish Need Not Apply"? Your ignorance of history is laughable.

Lol! You didn't go there did you?

ALL RISE!

Todays lesson-" How the Irish became White"

Ironically, Irish Catholics came to this country as an oppressed race yet quickly learned that to succeed they had to in turn oppress their closest social class competitors, free Northern blacks. Back home these "native Irish or papists" suffered something very similar to American slavery under English Penal Laws. Yet, despite their revolutionary roots as an oppressed group fighting for freedom and rights, and despite consistent pleas from the great Catholic emancipator, Daniel O'Connell, to support the abolitionists, the newly arrived Irish-Americans judged that the best way of gaining acceptance as good citizens and to counter the Nativist movement was to cooperate in the continued oppression of African Americans. Ironically, at the same time they were collaborating with the dominant culture to block abolition, they were garnering support from among Southern, slaveholding democrats for Repeal of the oppressive English Act of the Union back home. Some even convinced themselves that abolition was an English plot to weaken this country.

Irish and Africans Americans had lots in common and lots of contact during this period; they lived side by side and shared work spaces. In the early years of immigration the poor Irish and blacks were thrown together, very much part of the same class competing for the same jobs. In the census of 1850, the term mulatto appears for the first time due primarily to inter-marriage between Irish and African Americans. The Irish were often referred to as "Negroes turned inside out and Negroes as smoked Irish." A famous quip of the time attributed to a black man went something like this: "My master is a great tyrant, he treats me like a common Irishman." Free blacks and Irish were viewed by the Nativists as related, somehow similar, performing the same tasks in society. It was felt that if amalgamation between the races was to happen, it would happen between Irish and blacks. But, ultimately, the Irish made the decision to embrace whiteness, thus becoming part of the system which dominated and oppressed blacks.

An article by a black writer in an 1860 edition of the Liberator explained how the Irish ultimately attained their objectives: "Fifteen or twenty years ago, a Catholic priest in Philadelphia said to the Irish people in that city, 'You are all poor, and chiefly laborers, the blacks are poor laborers; many of the native whites are laborers; now, if you wish to succeed, you must do everything that they do, no matter how degrading, and do it for less than they can afford to do it for.' The Irish adopted this plan; they lived on less than the Americans could live upon, and worked for less, and the result is, that nearly all the menial employments are monopolized by the Irish, who now get as good prices as anybody. There were other avenues open to American white men, and though they have suffered much, the chief support of the Irish has come from the places from which we have been crowded."

Once the Irish secured themselves in those jobs, they made sure blacks were kept out. They realized that as long as they continued to work alongside blacks, they would be considered no different. Later, as Irish became prominent in the labor movement, African Americans were excluded from participation. In fact, one of the primary themes of How the Irish Became White is the way in which left labor historians, such as the highly acclaimed Herbert Gutman, have not paid sufficient attention to the problem of race in the development of the labor movement.

And so, we have the tragic story of how one oppressed "race," Irish Catholics, learned how to collaborate in the oppression of another "race," Africans in America, in order to secure their place in the white republic. Becoming white meant losing their greenness, i.e., their Irish cultural heritage and the legacy of oppression and discrimination back home.

So now you're claiming that the Irish were really black and "became" white? Your nonsense gets more pathetic by the day!

No, that's not the claim. The words are plain and clear.

The Irish didn't succeed because they "embraced whiteness" you buffoon! They were always white. They didn't succeed because they oppressed blacks...they succeeded because they carved out a niche for themselves...consolidated political power...AND TOOK CARE OF THEIR OWN!

You go tell that to Dr. Art McDonald who wrote the paper I linked and used in my post as well as Dr. Noel Ignatiev and other historians. Tell them your version of how the Irish made it. Because the words your ass is arguing with are McDonalds. The Irish did exactly what he said, not what you do. The Irish gained what they did by joining in on the white racial oppression of blacks and that's just the way it is no matter how much you don't like, or how much you deny it because it shatters the fake news you chose to believe.

Oh, bullshit! The Irish brought with them from Ireland the same social structures that they had used to survive oppression by the British. They didn't join with the White Protestant majority in the United States...they carved out a position of political power in big cities despite the White Protestant power structure. Your Doctor McDonald is an idiot. The Irish didn't succeed by oppressing blacks. They succeeded by using our political process against the WASP hierarchy! You seem to think that because the Irish didn't bring blacks along with them that somehow equals "oppression"! That of course is the main theme of you who worship at the altar of "victimhood" though...isn't it?
 
...who were blocking their bridge?

Picture this:

White students flash mob the racist black students blocking white students from using the campuses bridge. The white kids rush in like they´re black kids at a Walgreen's, smashing and grabbing. Maybe even a few of those black racist students go over the side of the bridge.

What would the left be saying now?


Come now. You must have already arrived at the conclusion that postmodernists (radical leftists) cannot be reasoned with, appealed to or negotiated into any sort of mutually socially beneficial compromise. The postmodernist knows no reason, will never deign to walk a mile in someone else's ideological shoes and will force revolution and violence regardless of how heartfelt pleas against their intended outcomes might sound. My advice, don't waste your time trying to reason with them. They'll just scream, "racism!" until you shut up.
I will neDemocracy is a way of government of the people which is ruled by the people. Democracies understand the importance of protecting the rights, cultural identities, social practices, and religious practices of all individuals. In order for the people’s will to govern, a system of majority rule with respect to minority rights has been put into place.ver shut up until whites are treated as equals.

That sounds like a perpetual motion argument fueled by the belief in white superiority. Ergo, you will never shut up as long as the doctrine of white supremacy rules.

There is a difference between a white supremacist, e.g. a member of the KKK, and a white individual, e.g. your neighbor.
Majority rule, minority rights. This is Constitutional law:
"Democracy is a way of government of the people which is ruled by the people. Democracies understand the importance of protecting the rights, cultural identities, social practices, and religious practices of all individuals. In order for the people’s will to govern, a system of majority rule with respect to minority rights has been put into place".

This country is a white majority country
. By a huge, huge margin. There are other countries where other skin colors are the majority.
Imagine a pink and purple ball next to each other. Imagine also a box full of pink balls and a box full of purple balls. Which ball would you put in which box?
Would a purple ball even want to be in a pink box when there is a purple box with a majority of purple balls?
^The answer to that is, YES. The proof is, our borders.

And then ask yourself, why are people of color, leaving their countries of color, and begging to come live in a country that you think is such a horrible place for people of color? Either they are all wrong, or you are.
