Black and white racists are idiots?

What is black racism and why does it happen?

Are you going to justify racist black people?

Nope. But when you can show 400 years of laws and policy decisions by blacks purposefully done to deny whites of opportunity in America, then we can discuss black racism.

We can discuss it any time we want. We have that privilege.

You won't be discussing it with me until you can show 400 years of laws and policy decisions by blacks purposefully done to deny whites of opportunity in America.

They don't have that kind of power nor should they. Till then, you have black racism.

Racist discourse strategy in US politics

“New Racism” is a concept that has arisen out of the purported transformation of racial prejudice and discrimination since the Civil Rights Era of the 1960s. The theories that defend the existence of a new racism distinct from pre–1960s prejudice often claim that the Civil Rights Era transformed the way US citizens think about race by legally prohibiting overt forms of racism in society, such as Jim Crow segregation. As a result, these theorists claim, overt racist language also became taboo in public forums, necessitating the creation of a brand new manner of speaking about race: a linguistic strategy that is more furtive and concealed than the racism of old. (Sears 1988; Bobo & Kleugal 1993; Bonilla-Silva 2006; McConahay 1986; Schumann
1997). It is argued that this supposedly new and surreptitious racial prejudice, covert racism, and
its corresponding discourse replaced the overt racist language that was supposedly widely
employed and accepted before the Civil Rights Movement.

I break with this main commonality of the new racism theories. The alleged modernity of covert racist discourse is disproved by the excerpts of political discourse reviewed for the purposes of this study. These demonstrate that covert racist discourse has been an important part of prejudiced language since far before the Civil Rights Era. Plus, similarly contrary to the theories of new racism and the supposedly new taboo status of blatant prejudice, overt racist language is also still used today, decades after the passing of the Civil Rights Act. These two points provide strong evidence that racist language has not undergone much change despite the
legal banishment of some overtly racist practices in the 1960s.

Nevertheless, it is true that some smaller changes in racist language have occurred since the US’s beginning. For one, it seems that the use of overt racist discourse has declined in public speech over the course of the 20th century, demonstrated through alterations in politicians’ linguistic strategies.

Also, it appears that the strategy behind employing covert racism has shifted from a purpose of justifying overt racism before the Civil Rights Era, to a purpose of concealing one’s prejudice. Still, these slight modifications do not prove a positive change in the way the US public views race and discrimination. Rather, racism is a persistent problem that seems nearly impossible to eradicate partially due to its possibly unconscious and subconscious nature as well as to whites’ tendency to disregard all accusations of racism. The apparent lack of a much needed radical transformation in white racism after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 suggests the
exigency of a new approach for effecting revolution in whites’ frames for contemplating race: raising race consciousness.

Nevertheless, much of the American public manages to convince itself that racial discrimination no longer affects the lives of people of color in US society. Instead, many of today’s white US citizens describe programs such as affirmative action as discriminatory, although their purpose is to achieve racial equality (Edsall 1991). Those who use the term “racism” in this way are mistaken for two reasons: first, racism is a context-dependent concept.

As explained by Caleb Rosado (1996), racism is the combined forces of prejudice and power, meaning that only members of the race with institutional influence may be considered “racist.” Secondly, as demonstrated by the statistics cited above, racism still poses serious difficulties for people of color. For these reasons, “reverse racism” does not exist. A “colorblind” stance or viewpoint, therefore, simply ignores the racial issues our society faces, as opposed to creating equal opportunity for members of all races.

These common fallacies, that racism no longer poses a problem for people of color but rather negatively impacts whites through so-called reverse discrimination, cause so much confusion partially due to the way we speak about race. Everyday prejudiced speech, designated by experts as “new” or “modern” racism, is often manifested in covert forms, as opposed to the overt racism that supposedly characterized US society before the Civil Rights Act. These expressions of racism allow speakers, whether intentionally or not, to transmit a prejudiced message in a subtle manner, thereby avoiding accusations of racism and convincing listeners that
the message contains impartial reflections of reality (Bonilla-Silva 2006). The duplicitous nature of today’s discriminatory language is supposedly one of the main distinctions from the no longer socially-acceptable overt racism of the pre–Civil Rights era.

However, contrary to the postulations of many sociologists, the so-called “new racism” is, in fact, not so new or modern. For centuries, white people have maintained their supremacy partially by reproducing inequalities through prejudiced rhetoric. It is evidently true that the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s legally outlawed many forms of overt racism, and also stigmatized the unequivocal vocalization of racial prejudice. This alone, however, does not indicate the evolution of a new type of racism, as well as the creation of a correspondingly new manner of speaking about race. Instead, overt and covert racist language have existed side by side for years. Only when overt racism was met with outcry and its presence in speech declined did the use of covert racist discourse seem much more evident as an indication of persisting prejudice.

Because some people CHOOSE TO BE RACIST

So we have one person who can't honestly answer the question so far.

No one answers your sorry ass because you don't accept any answers. All that happens when ANYONE replies to your ignorant bullshit is that you simply spew more. lol

He is using race baiting from the sixties whether he knows it or not. The answer then and the answer now is hard but effective-if it wasn't for us whites helping you, you would still be in the fields.

I'm not using race baiting from any time. Your answer is wrong.

Nice try-we are on to you. Or if not, don't bring up race again.

You aren't on to jack shit. This is the race and racism section. I will bring up race here. If you get butthurt, too bad.

You ignorant racists are sad. You know that you cannot produce what I have asked.

Nothing blacks can do matches what whites racists do. You just provided evidence with this lie you just told.

Most people don't fall under the magic of your dissertation- they are not that complex. My question is, to combat "new racism" should we go back to old racism and call a spade a spade?

Black racists never had the opportunity to oppress white people systemically; that's the only real difference. They would if they could. Whites could and they did.

White racists are only worse than black racists in the sense that they have/had more power to enforce their racism. They've been the most successful racists over the years. That's all.

[Confounding]

Whites have not had to wait for a gradual change that spans generations for equality, nor should we. You should not be proud of this, you should be ashamed that we actually have to go through this.

It's a shame that it happened and it's a shame that it is still happening in some ways, but I am proud that it is changing.

You're right. It's not fair and it shouldn't be that way. There isn't a magic wand to fix it though. It's going to take time, and that is reality. It's not fair that millions of men, women and children are starving right now. It's outside our capability to just snap our fingers and change it though. The world and people do not work that way.

What you do have the power to change is yourself. Surely you don't believe you've come as far as you can spiritually and emotionally, right? You have a lot of anger inside of you, like many here do, and I'm not saying it isn't justified. That doesn't mean it's not still your enemy though.

Holding in anger creates stress, high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks. I only get angry when somebody white has the nerve to tell me how I am not to be angry about racism I face while whites are angry about shit they have made up. We have been consistently disrespected by whites for 400 years and white tell us how it's wrong to be angry. Spare me and don't quote any more religious stuff to me unless its about white repentance.

You need therapy.

Because unlike whites such as you, I do not imagine being discriminated against.

Yeah, you are definitely unbiased, non-bigoted and not discriminating against white people everywhere simply because of their skin pigmentation!

Turd, you have CHANGED nothing, you DO nothing, all you've accomplished here and anywhere is to make others dislike you and other Blacks MORE with your selfish stupidity.

Your opinion means nothing. Shoo fly.

Obviously far more than yours. As usual, you run from anything which shines the light of truth on your racial witch-hunt for another free lunch. The Hodge Brothers got you nailed to a tee.



My name is IM2 and I wants my weperwations!

You show me what credentials these two have besides a webcam and perhaps I'll think about what they say.

Because I'm sure not concerned about a descendant of freeloaders and recipients of government free stuff like you.

They have plain common sense as their credentials. Far more than you display. But thanks for pointing out that we have no reason to read much less take serious a word you say since not only have you even less cred, but you are obviously running from the Hodge Twins unable to refute a single point they make.

But I kinda figured you'd at least be an expert in one thing: freeloading and government support.
