Something told you wrong. I'm not going to keep arguing with your white ass abutthis.
When you ever get the notion to tell me why you think I'm white....I'm listening....
The majority of white voters picked a virulently racist white man who was a convicted felon for president,
Between the last two president's, which one was BFFs with clansman Robert byrd...and considered him a mentor? Oh yeah.....
and you are here trying to tell me that whites don't need to see a white man on a presidential ticket to feel comfortable about voting for somebody black.
That's exactly what I'm saying. You think people didn't vote for harris because she's black, I say it's because she just wasn't a good candidate. Remember, YOUR OWN PARTY picked the old white guy over any number of minority candidates. Please explain that...
āBecause most whites have not been trained to think with complexity about racism,
Translation: "because you're not brainwashed to think that all white people are racist...that makes you racist" . Talk about circular reasoning.
and because it benefits white dominance not to do so, we have a very limited understanding of it. We are the least likely to see, comprehend, or be invested in validating people of colorās assertions of racism and being honest about their consequences
Sounds like old Robin had some issues..
. At the same time, because of white social, economic, and political power within a white dominant culture, whites are the group in the position to legitimize people of colorās assertions of racism. Being in this position engenders a form of racial arrogance, and in this racial arrogance, whites have little compunction about debating the knowledge of people who have thought deeply about race through research, study, peer-reviewed scholarship, deep and on-going critical self-reflection, interracial relationships, and lived experience
Well yeah, because all of that "experience" doesn't give anyone the power to read minds. They did studies about all this stuff and forgot one thing ...they didn't realize that not everyone thinks the same. People are not robots and have various opinions. I mean, how was this research done? Did they interview tens of millions of people? Or did they take a few thousand as a sample, kick out some variables they didn't like, to achieve the results they desired?
Did they ever think to include the PERCEPTION of race issues by black people, influenced by people like Sharpton, Jackson, and yes....DiAngelo? A lot of the issues are from those sources telling black people, every chance they get, that their problems are all caused by white people, and that white people are actively trying to "get them". Yes, whites were the main people who owned slaves, and yes, racism exists, but that doesn't mean white people today are like that, that they are all out to hurt black folks.
Most white people i know don't even think about these things. As long as you're nice to them, they are nice to you, but people like DiAngelo don't want you to think that. She wants you to think that every white person is a raging racist underneath and looking for the opportunity to screw with black people.
. This expertise is often trivialized and countered with simplistic platitudes, such as āpeople just need to see each other as individualsā or āsee each other as humansā or ātake personal responsibility.ā
Yeah, because maybe white folks are tired of being told every time they turn around, that they are bad people. That tends to make them a bit defensive.
White lack of racial humility often leads to declarations of disagreement when in fact the problem is that we do not understand.
Lol, so if white folk disagrees with her, it's a lack of "racial humility" and they don't understand. Lol, Robin has written a book that pigeon holes white folks into a no win situation. You can't understand the complexities of racial issues because you don't have the experience, and therefore you have to let black folks tell them how white people feel, and if you disagree, it's lack of racial humility. Lol...
Whites generally feel free to dismiss informed perspectives rather than have the humility to acknowledge that they are unfamiliar, reflect on them further, seek more information, or sustain a dialogue.ā
- Dr. Robin DiAngelo
Nah, maybe whites just don't want to agree when OTHERS try to make decisions about how they feel.
There is a difference between seeking knowledge about racial issues, and being asked to accept that, as a white person, they are all just inherently racist.
It is funny how you guys practice the behaviors DeAngelo describes as white fragility while denying that is exactly what you have.
No, what's funny is how you (and DiAngelo) claim that white people don't understand the complexities of racism, yet when she writes a book...about the complexities of racism...you suddenly think she is the authority on the subject.
