The scourge of white whining

[skye]

There is a wave of white whining that's going on in the U.S.

really?

you are a very confused human being OP

very very confused,

Whites have been whining for 245 years. I'm not confused, you are delusional.

You need a psychiatrist.

Your hatred is consuming you, seek help ASAP.

If that poor bastard went to a psychiatrist, they may make the mistake of writing him a prescription.
He could read the label, still fail to understand what it means, and damn near die of a drug overdose.

Then he would blame the drug company, and the fact the pills he took were white.

Amy Cooper's "racial discrimination" lawsuit and the scourge of white whining
Amanda Marcotte

"Large numbers of white people — mostly, but not exclusively Donald Trump voters — convince themselves that it's not racism that is a problem in the U.S., but the bogeyman of white people being victimized by anti-racists.

Take, for instance, the surge of chatter about "critical race theory." If you have no idea what the hell your drunk uncle is talking about when he raves about this on Facebook, well, you're not alone. Critical race theory was, until this year, an obscure concept outside of the narrow confines of legal scholarship, used mainly by law professors to explain the historical reasons for ongoing racial inequalities baked into the legal system.

But "critical race theory" sure does sound scary to defensive white people who are sure the "woke" mob is going to find out about that racist joke they told at a poker game last year and "cancel" them, as Fox News keeps warning will happen. And so right-wing media has spent months making sure the term "critical race theory" is on the lips of every Donald Trump voter still mad that they "let" Philadelphia and Detroit vote in the 2020 election.

The idea that "critical race theory" is a widespread threat to white people was invented, whole cloth, by the right-wing media and then pumped out vigorously. As the Washington Post reported, mentions of "critical race theory" on cable news simply didn't exist prior to this year, but there's been an explosion of uses of that term on Fox News in recent months. A similar study from Media Matters shows that, by early May, the term had been used — inaccurately in most, if not all, cases — on Fox News at least 552 times in the past year.

The right would have you believe that it's the left that made "critical race theory" a thing, and they are merely reacting. But another study of Facebook posts by Media Matters found that pretty much the only people talking about "critical race theory" online are Republicans, with nearly 90% of the posts from political pages and 97% of the interactions coming from conservative figures.

To be certain, there is nothing wrong with real-life critical race theory, which is a valuable tool for academics analyzing legal and cultural issues. But right-wing media doesn't use the term accurately. It's just a stand-in for a generalized fear that "woke" culture is coming to get white people. And also, of course, as justification to silence — or, as one might say, cancel — any discussion or attempt to educate people, especially students, about the existence or history of racism in America.

The result has been an explosion of bills in red states that, under the guise of protecting white people from being discriminated against, are banning "critical race theory." But, as critics told Adam Harris at The Atlantic, the real purpose is to "effectively prevent public schools and universities from holding discussions about racism" — including, quite likely in many cases, teaching kids the truth about slavery and Jim Crow in history class.

In Oklahoma, for instance, a new law bans any school curriculum that could cause a student to "feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex." The bill is packed full of nice-sounding language about non-discrimination and racial equality, but it's obvious that the real purpose is to scare teachers away from discussing any history — such as the 1921 Tulsa race massacre — that could unsettle white kids whose parents raised them to believe racism isn't real. After signing the bill into law, Oklahoma's Republican governor was booted from the centennial commission on the Tulsa massacre. The commission's director said that the ban signed by Gov. Kevin Stills "chills the ability of educators to teach students, of any age, and will only serve to intimidate educators who seek to reveal and process our hidden history."

This hyperventilating white victimhood mentality is also on full display in Missouri, where lawyer Mark McCloskey announced his Senate candidacy earlier this month. McCloskey became infamous last summer when he and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, were taped waving guns at a group of Black Lives Matter protesters who were peacefully marching in the street by their house.

In his Fox News announcement, McCloskey claimed, "God came knocking on my door disguised as an angry mob. In reality, no one knocked on his door. Protesters were, quite literally, just walking by to get to another location and only interacted with the McCloskeys after they pulled guns on them. McCloskey also whined about "critical race theory," and for all we know, he also has delusions that this previously obscure bit of academic jargon knocked on his door. Greg Sargent of the Washington Post characterized McCloskey's announcement as the "anti-leftist hyperbole you hear constantly from Republicans," noting that it is the result of "the complete unshackling of oneself from any empirical constraints in depicting the leftist threat."

And this problem is only growing.

As Jennifer Chudy and Hakeem Jefferson report at the New York Times, "Republicans and white people have actually become less supportive of Black Lives Matter than they were before the death of George Floyd." In the past year, the majority of white people saw all this evidence of racism and police violence, and somehow still found their way to a story where white people are the real victims and the bad guys are the people speaking out against racism.

So sure, Amy Cooper's narcissism and self-pity may seem over the top, but the sad truth is she is just a particularly noxious example of a nationwide problem. Trump managed to get a shocking 74 million votes, more than any Republican candidate in history, after running a campaign that was a full-on right-wing fantasy about "cancel culture" more than about any real issues facing the nation. In 2021, the majority of white Americans would rather believe a fantasy where they're the victims, rather than admit, even just a tiny bit, that racism is still a real problem.

Amy Cooper's "racial discrimination" lawsuit and the scourge of white whining

Come on IM2. You guys beg and demand free stuff more then any group in human history. There is not enough resources. That is the truth. Making things right has become a full time enterprise. And there are many other people who have been screwed over besides you. Luckily you Progs would destroy the world for anything so minor as to not be on the radar. And that is vengeance. All people who have a beef have to do is wait. Many of those who mess with others stay low and/or the system pays off others if there is enough attention.

No, that would be you. I'm pefectly fine.

I find it funny how you enter threads full of white racism and say nothing. In fact you post racism with them. So you go seek that help because it's apparent you are the one with the problem.

Whites have been given more by the government than anyone. No one but the Native Americans have been done like us. And they get reparations annually even though Native tribes cooperated with the whites to take out enemy tribes. But this thread is about whites whining and every post you guys make validates the OP.

You need a psychiatrist.

Your hatred is consuming you, seek help ASAP.

.

If that poor bastard went to a psychiatrist, they may make the mistake of writing him a prescription.
He could read the label, still fail to understand what it means, and damn near die of a drug overdose.

Then he would blame the drug company, and the fact the pills he took were white.

.​

No, you would do that. In fact you would whine about the pills being white instead of translucent because you would declare it was anti white racism for pills to have a color.

 

[Correll]

And here we have 3 examples of what the writer, who is whites, is talking about.

White kids need to lear our history. Just like everybody else.

Only a fucking asshole would dismiss our valid concerns as "whining".

 

[BlackSand]

.

No, you would do that. In fact you would whine about the pills being white instead of translucent because you would declare it was anti white racism for pills to have a color.

Sweetie ... I am not whining about anything.
I have never said shit about anti-white racism.

I just laugh at the fact you are so ate up with race, you don't understand what is written.
Shit ... You don't even truly understand half the shit you post.
Which is what you just did in the post I am quoting.

Sweetie, the use of the term whining by whites to describe the airing of legitimate grievances by blacks is whining. No one is ate up by race, race is a reality we face. I understand what I am saying, you are the one who doesn't.

Your last post? Yes I understood what you were attempting to say. It made no sense just like your claim of me seeing myself as a color makes me see myself as inferior. That's dumb ass crap.
Stop lying to yourself, because you're not fooling me. I don't see you saying this to whites in all the threads they are posting about blacks. So what you are is apparent.

I didn't call you whiney.

It's never going to make sense to you because there is nothing you can do with it.
I say you don't understand what is written and you turn around and tell me you don't understand what I just wrote.
There is a reason you fail in everything you attempt to achieve with your race based bullshit.

You will always fight your hardest to never understand you are a fool.

fuck you and fuck your Harvard-attending ass lecturing me about white privilege

Critical Race Theory is an excuse by Legal Scholars examining current situations, to replace Historical Scholars in how History is viewed with the intent to address concerns about a present conditions that resulted from race based legislation, and with the intent to use race based legislation, to correct the problem race based legislation created in the first place.

More of the same shit, the demand to make the same mistake over again ... The History didn't change, neither did what they want to do with it.

.​

No, its called fixing the damage. For whites have benefitted from race based policies. Colorblind policies will only serve to maintain inequality.

How dare you group people and say because of our skin color we have it easier than you....unbelievable....you have no idea of what other people have gone through in life...do you think only bad things happen to Black folks?...you need help...you really do...and America Black and White are laughing at you black racists...

How dare you deny 245 years worth of laws and policies?

I don't deny anything....so its revenge you want?...revenge for something that didn't even happen to you personally?...you want revenge for your ancestors?...how do you know what your ancestors thought or wanted?....you don't know shit about them....or the time in which they lived....is it better living in war torn Chicago of 2021 or a Georgia share cropper farmer in 1940...you really don't know...there is no way you could know....so stop your stupid crusade....

And here is more stupidity. Racism has happened to me personally, it continues to happen to us black folks personally. And it happens systemically as well. This is not about what happened to my ancestors, and you and whites like you need to climb out of that delusion. There is no war torn Chicago and my father grew up as a sharecropper. I know how things were by the stories I was told by people who lived through the shit. I was born during Jim Crow and Jim Crow didn't really end until the mid 1980's. So shut the fuck up and quit denying the thruth.

what truth? are there people in the world who do not carry a family LEGACY?
Even Prince Charles is complaining. INTERESTINLY, Prince Charles, in discussion,
even admitted that his father carries a dysfunctional family legacy

Spare me the bullshit lady. I know what you are. You've shown your character with other blacks here. You're an old woman, face the truth before you leave.

for the record------idiot maryamvine expressed love for the fact that the other jerk
farted out----"OLD LADY"----to an old lady

"Gaslighting is when someone manipulates information to make the victim question their own experience, memory, or reality. People are able to recognize gaslighting when it comes to relationships, friendships, work settings, and issues like sexism. But when it comes to racial gaslighting, there is an immense disconnect," Jacquelyn said.

"I have noticed that in general, people are able to acknowledge abusive behaviors such as narcissism, manipulation, and gaslighting. However, it is difficult for people to see how these forms of abuse are ever-present in conversations about racism."

For many BIPOC, racial gaslighting has been a longtime reality, especially as they share their experiences with racism online and in real life. Instead of building understanding and allyship, racial gaslighting deflects important conversations about race and silences BIPOC voices that need to be heard.

"When BIPOC share their experience with racism or confront someone about their racist behavior, the immediate reaction of the perpetrator is to question the victim's experience, memory, or reality," Jacquelyn said.

In her post, Jacquelyn gives examples of what racial gaslighting sounds like. Comments can include dismissive phrases like "It was just a joke, calm down," "What I said/did is not racist," "Racism doesn't exist anymore," "Are you sure that's what happened?" among others.

This thread is about white people whining. Then you enter whining with a false interpretation of Critical Race Theory based on a stupid notion put out there by racists that has nothing to do with the theory. Then you try telling me I am the one who doesn't know something.

This Mornings Lesson:

CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS NOT WHAT WHITE RACISTS SAY IT IS!

So much lying and disinformation is being put out there by the facist right and black accomodationists. Because anything that questions or challenges the white male version of America must be stopped. Fascism is defined as a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. This is the right is trying to suppress any belief except their version.

So lets study the theory beginning at it's root.

Critical Race Theory is based first and foremost in Critical Theory.

Critical theory- a philosophical approach to culture, and especially to literature, that seeks to confront the social, historical, and ideological forces and structures that produce and constrain it. The term is applied particularly to the work of the Frankfurt School.

Critical theory is an approach to social philosophy that focuses on reflective assessment and critique of society and culture in order to reveal and challenge power structures. With origins in sociology and literary criticism, it argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors. Maintaining that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation, critical theory was established as a school of thought primarily by the Frankfurt School theoreticians Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Erich Fromm, and Max Horkheimer. Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks "to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory#:~:text=Critical%20theory%20involves%20a%20normative%20dimension%2C%20either%20by,concepts%20of%20critical%20theory%20are%20that%20it%20should%3A

So what we have that right wing whites are bitching about is critical theory applied to the issue of race. Since critical theory requires that you look the forces of society in order to determine what creates the imbalance, the history of American law and policy when assigned to race shows this:

Race is a contruct. This is a fact.

Webster's dictionary has 2 definitions of construct as it pertains to this thread we will use the second definition:

Definition of construct (Entry 2 of 2)

1: something constructed by the mind: such as

a: a theoretical entity
b: a working hypothesis or concept

2: a product of ideology, history, or social circumstances

Linnaeus was the first to break humans into classifications in his book Systema Naturae. In this book Linnaeus decided that man had 4 races. "Europæus albesc[ens]" (whitish European), "Americanus rubesc[ens]" (redish American), "Asiaticus fuscus" (tawny Asian) and "Africanus nigr[iculus]" (blackish African). Basically, race did not exist until it was created or constructed.

So using critical theory to study the social, historical, and ideological forces and structures that produce and constrain racial conditions for people of color, we must look at American laws and policies. To study these, there can be only one conclusion:

That race is a social construct and that whites have used race to implement policies to advance their political, economic, and social interests. Courts at every level have cases to prove this. Starting with the 1790 Naturalization Act, to Shelby Co v. Holder and now various voter suppression measures being put forth by states, the evidence is clear that Critical Race Theory is correct.

So for white racists to start whining about pitting people against each other based on race, or looking at things by color when that has been done from the very beginning of this country shows a serious inability to face reality.

A similar study from Media Matters shows that, by early May, the term had been used — inaccurately in most, if not all, cases — on Fox News at least 552 times in the past year.

The right would have you believe that it's the left that made "critical race theory" a thing, and they are merely reacting. But another study of Facebook posts by Media Matters found that pretty much the only people talking about "critical race theory" online are Republicans, with nearly 90% of the posts from political pages and 97% of the interactions coming from conservative figures.

To be certain, there is nothing wrong with real-life critical race theory, which is a valuable tool for academics analyzing legal and cultural issues. But right-wing media doesn't use the term accurately. It's just a stand-in for a generalized fear that "woke" culture is coming to get white people. And also, of course, as justification to silence — or, as one might say, cancel — any discussion or attempt to educate people, especially students, about the existence or history of racism in America.

The result has been an explosion of bills in red states that, under the guise of protecting white people from being discriminated against, are banning "critical race theory." But, as critics told Adam Harris at The Atlantic, the real purpose is to "effectively prevent public schools and universities from holding discussions about racism" — including, quite likely in many cases, teaching kids the truth about slavery and Jim Crow in history class.

In Oklahoma, for instance, a new law bans any school curriculum that could cause a student to "feel discomfort, guilt, anguish or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex." The bill is packed full of nice-sounding language about non-discrimination and racial equality, but it's obvious that the real purpose is to scare teachers away from discussing any history — such as the 1921 Tulsa race massacre — that could unsettle white kids whose parents raised them to believe racism isn't real. After signing the bill into law, Oklahoma's Republican governor was booted from the centennial commission on the Tulsa massacre. The commission's director said that the ban signed by Gov. Kevin Stills "chills the ability of educators to teach students, of any age, and will only serve to intimidate educators who seek to reveal and process our hidden history."

This hyperventilating white victimhood mentality is also on full display in Missouri, where lawyer Mark McCloskey announced his Senate candidacy earlier this month. McCloskey became infamous last summer when he and his wife, Patricia McCloskey, were taped waving guns at a group of Black Lives Matter protesters who were peacefully marching in the street by their house.

In his Fox News announcement, McCloskey claimed, "God came knocking on my door disguised as an angry mob. In reality, no one knocked on his door. Protesters were, quite literally, just walking by to get to another location and only interacted with the McCloskeys after they pulled guns on them. McCloskey also whined about "critical race theory," and for all we know, he also has delusions that this previously obscure bit of academic jargon knocked on his door. Greg Sargent of the Washington Post characterized McCloskey's announcement as the "anti-leftist hyperbole you hear constantly from Republicans," noting that it is the result of "the complete unshackling of oneself from any empirical constraints in depicting the leftist threat."

And this problem is only growing.

As Jennifer Chudy and Hakeem Jefferson report at the New York Times, "Republicans and white people have actually become less supportive of Black Lives Matter than they were before the death of George Floyd." In the past year, the majority of white people saw all this evidence of racism and police violence, and somehow still found their way to a story where white people are the real victims and the bad guys are the people speaking out against racism.

So sure, Amy Cooper's narcissism and self-pity may seem over the top, but the sad truth is she is just a particularly noxious example of a nationwide problem. Trump managed to get a shocking 74 million votes, more than any Republican candidate in history, after running a campaign that was a full-on right-wing fantasy about "cancel culture" more than about any real issues facing the nation. In 2021, the majority of white Americans would rather believe a fantasy where they're the victims, rather than admit, even just a tiny bit, that racism is still a real problem.

Amy Cooper's "racial discrimination" lawsuit and the scourge of white whining

Come on IM2. You guys beg and demand free stuff more then any group in human history. There is not enough resources. That is the truth. Making things right has become a full time enterprise. And there are many other people who have been screwed over besides you. Luckily you Progs would destroy the world for anything so minor as to not be on the radar. And that is vengeance. All people who have a beef have to do is wait. Many of those who mess with others stay low and/or the system pays off others if there is enough attention.

Whites have been given more by the government than anyone. No one but the Native Americans have been done like us. And they get reparations annually even though Native tribes cooperated with the whites to take out enemy tribes. But this thread is about whites whining and every post you guys make validates the OP.

IM 2. You know when we retort to each other it is not going to make a difference. In real life though there are people not faring well. We all need to be more responsible in ways of living. Over and over this is said but the rules lets us all go beyond them. You know it. And the results are not good.

Critical Race Theory is an excuse by Legal Scholars examining current situations, to replace Historical Scholars in how History is viewed with the intent to address concerns about a present conditions that resulted from race based legislation, and with the intent to use race based legislation, to correct the problem race based legislation created in the first place.

More of the same shit, the demand to make the same mistake over again ... The History didn't change, neither did what they want to do with it.

No, its called fixing the damage. For whites have benefitted from race based policies. Colorblind policies will only serve to maintain inequality.

How dare you group people and say because of our skin color we have it easier than you....unbelievable....you have no idea of what other people have gone through in life...do you think only bad things happen to Black folks?...you need help...you really do...and America Black and White are laughing at you black racists...

How dare you deny 245 years worth of laws and policies?

Why are you whining about laws and policies that no longer exist? We all know about the wrongs in the treatment of black people in the past. Those laws and policies have been rectified. Where did the poster deny anything? They were speaking in the present tense.
