Why White People Don’t Like to Talk About Race

[gtopa1]

I'd rather talk about CHARACTER...like MLK said. Always have. (Why do Blacks kill other Blacks at such a high rate??)

Greg

If you want to talk about character why do you not pay attention to everything King talked about?
You do understand that white kill each other at the same rate? So if you are concerned about character why don't you discuss that.

I've read widely on King. Some was frankly fantastic; other stuff was useful idiocy for the Communists. Your point??

Greg

 

[harmonica]

Here's the real reason: It's Boring and Pointless.

After years of being called WACISTS due to the color of our skin, we white folks just don't believe you Race Baiting Hate Mongers.

No darling, you were never called racist because of your skin tone. You should figure out why you're triggered by the topic.

then why are whites RACIST???..and blacks never are??
hahahahhaha= blacks are not racist---hahahAHHHAHAHAHAHHA

Who said or says that?

them DAMN whites and their RACIST math!!!!

Nah, and we also do not want to discuss how whites and blacks use illegal substances at the same rates, but blacks go to prison over it much more overwhelmingly. Many whites will equate that with calling them racist; makes 'em very uncomfortable.

Yeah, he had to be labeled a "commie" too. Ever wonder why?

 

[Bo Didleysquat]

My question is why can’t IM2 stop talking about race?

He CERTAINLY doesn't to talk about black crime, or black men knocking up women and then abandoning them.

Don's got a slew of kids by 3 babymommas and he cheated on the last one with a hooker he paid while his wife was pregnant with that slower (of the 3 slow ones) boy. Point?

 

[IM2]

And so we have the usual whining about me talking about race in the section of the forum where we are supposed to talk about race. Of course this is not done to threads in this section by whites, nor is it done in any other section of this forum where race is discussed by whites when it's not supposed to.

You racists are like a bunch of bratty children. You think it's fine to criticize blacks, but when blacks criticize whites, suddenly it's wrong, unfair and the black person has a problem. Fuck you racists and your gaslighting. Seek help to rid yourselves of white fragility

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Frakked if you do and frakked if you don't that's a great way to start a discussion.

Sounds like the OP is a category 1 OP type racist to me.

so what if criminals go to prison???!!!!!!
AND do you have evidence for this??
---just because they do crack instead of heroin doesn't mean it's unfair!!! THAT'S DUMBSHIT
An unfair system arrested millions of blacks, urged compassion for whites
unfair---HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Why White People Don’t Like to Talk About Race
March 26, 2015 by Barnabas Piper

Most white people want no part of the conversation about race. We don’t want it with our baristas, our neighbors, our spouses, or anyone really. We don’t quite know what do each February during Black History Month. For most white people that’s Martin Luther King Jr. awareness month with a nod to Harriet Tubman and not much sense of any other aspect of black history or culture. The ongoing tensions surrounding the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and so many other incidents are more than most of us know what to do with (if we want anything to do with them at all).

Most of us grew up unaffected by the racial divide, or at least unaware of how it affected us. Now, though, the divide has been brought to us and we’re at a loss. We don’t want that conversation. We’re uncomfortable with it. Our responses tend to fall into two main groups.

Group 1: Don’t want to talk about race

This first group contains the bigots and racists. They don’t want to talk about race (or maybe they do for all the wrong reasons) because they want to be the only race. This bunch deserves a whole lot of ink, most of it not very pleasant, and none of it here. They are despicable products of unfortunate upbringings.

The majority of this group, though, is not outright bigoted. Instead they are outright ignorant and therefore subtly prejudiced. They are unexposed to minority cultures (not just black, but all non-white cultures) and unaware of the complexities, difficulties, and hurts there. Really most of white America is part of, or has been part of, this group. They are the comfortable majority, and thus they determine the status quo. Life is good, so why rock the boat? It’s not that they don’t “care” about the needs of others — you won’t find a more cause-oriented bunch of advocates than young, privileged white people — but those needs never really intersect with their lives at a personal and relational level. And they’re happy to keep it that way because any other way is uncomfortable and intimidating. It’s a passive aggressive approach to racial separation, and one most don’t even realize they’re participating in. Their ignorance is blindness they mistake for bliss.

Group 2: Don’t know how to talk about race

Why White People Don't Like to Talk About Race

Most here are not the blissfully ignorant. You are racists. Blacks here have been called all kinds of racist names and all kinds of overtly racist opinion has been spoken. Blissful ignorance is not why a thread about black names has been created at least 2 times sine I've actively started participating here. The same goes for other things.

Now watch the racism you will see from people who are going to complain. They never complain when a thread by a white person denigrating blacks is posted. Only when a thread about whites is made do they suddenly become colorblind.

Why do you like to talk about race 24/7?

And you can't figure out why someone might take you as racist? It is the same scenario if you take pot use alone son.

WRONG!! But the causes are not neccessarily RACIAL as I have said before; yes, to you as well.

Unfortunately, conversations about about this problem often fall back on the assumption that violence in black communities has cultural — or even biological — roots. But these assumptions aren’t supported by data.

For instance, Krivo and Peterson’s analysis of crime data in Columbus, Ohio shows that economic disadvantage, not race, is the strongest predictor of violence in a particular neighborhood. “In fact,” they conclude, “violent crime rates for extremely disadvantaged white neighborhoods are more similar to rates for extremely disadvantaged black areas than to rates for other types of white neighborhoods.”

Studies like these suggest that racial disparities in murder rates stem from a variety of structural causes, most notably economic inequality. (To dig deeper, see Krivo and Peterson’s study controlling for neighborhood disadvantage, as well as the Violence Policy Center’s recent study of black homicide victimization.)

I notice Obama bucked the downward trend.

Stark racial disparities in murder rates persist, even as overall murder rate declines

So how you going to solve the poverty problem in "black" and "white" neighbourhoods that have the same causes of crime? I'll give you a hint: it's the economy, stupid!!

Thank Trump on your bloody knees for getting the jobless rate for ALL ships (including Blacks) to the best they've ever been

Then attack the problem of drugs and drug turf wars. fuck you're stupid!!

Your society was founded upon and operates on it as a principle. Don's been talking about it 24/7 as well. Didn't notice that didja.

DemoKKKrats were in power at the time. lol.

He wasn't a commie but his anti-war stance played into the "useful idiot" camp; one shared by many white even more so. But he had a different OPINION on the war; I am a fervent anti-Communist so any check on their spread was fine by me.
