Zone1 Here Are the Real Reasons Why We White People Struggle to Admit That Racism Still Exists

[Mac-7]

And of course, we see how anyone white working to end racism gets denigrated by whites who are part of the problem.

You say you should not be blamed for what your ancestors did, right?

So why do you believe the same things about blacks as they did?

I dont have to defend myself to you

But since you insist, I believe blacks are born with the same basic intelligence as whites

Thats why I dont accept your excuses for black failure

Blacks who push themselves to succeed have an equal chance as whites

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Yep, I'm responding to the same white racism I see here every day.

I cant believe that you dont get it.
White people on USMB are baiting you and you fall for it every time.
I mean seriously what do you expect when all you post are racist rants blaming whitey for all of your problems.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

The race pimping comes from the white right wing. Cognitive dissonance has whites here posting volumes of racism while declaring racism is gone.

Give me an example of a Conservative race pimp.
I mean Holy Shit biden is the most notorious race pimp in Washington yet you dont give him a hard time.
Whats up with that?

Treat black people like they treat other white people.

Whites generally treat black people BETTER than other people to avoid accusations of racism and prejudice.

Actually the history of this country doesn't support your belief.

A "history" might not. The history does.

Then what’s his point? All he’s doing is making the black underclass look like whiny people who consider themselves victims and won’t take responsibility for their actions. He is CREATING racism.

 

[Hellbilly]

Prove it.

 

[westwall]

There are members of the white right wing in this forum who claim that racism is over. Apparently they think that because signs aren't up denying blacks of opportunity that it's gone. And it's funny because the people making this claim do so while expressing the same attitudes whites had during Jim Crow.

Here Are the Real Reasons Why We White People Struggle to Admit That Racism Still Exists​

1. White People Must Choose to Extend Our Personal Values towards Racial Issues
When someone calls us as White people out for racist behavior or language, we are almost never being accused of being card-carrying members of the KKK.

Yet so many of us are stuck in a surface level, 1950s conception of racism where we can clearly identify it as wearing White hoods and burning crosses.

But even then, racism was far more complex and insidious.

2. White People Benefit Materially from Racism​

Therefore, most of us have an unacknowledged political and economic stake in maintaining White supremacy.

3. White People Have an Emotional Stake in Denying White Supremacy ​

Because that way, we can avoid dealing with how we’re complicit in its pervasiveness.

4. Working towards Racial Solidarity Means Being Vulnerable​

Because that’s the only way for us to transform ourselves for the better.

No, they claim INSTITUTIONAL RACISM is over.
