What It Means To Be White In A Society That Proclaims Race Is Meaningless...

[Billy_Kinetta]

To be realistically frank, "the situation" has no bearing whatsoever on my life, save annually on April 15th. None.

I know. Hence, your white privilege. You don't have to worry about it.

Give me a reason why I should worry about it.

I'm sympathetic, but certainly not overwrought, and when the black community chooses leaders like Al Sharpton, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Lewis, Clyburn, Jackson Lee, Ellison, Booker, etc., I simply lose interest altogether.

Have you ever once considered that what Americans saw during the obama administration regarding the governmental corruption turned them towards Trump? And, have you ever considered that white America put obama in office twice? Do you deny the corruption within the democrat party?

The Obama Administration was the first non-corruption Administration we've had in modern-history.

You are a hack Willow.

You are not trying to be honest! If tou think gun running to Mexico, and IRS targeting scheme, the meeting on the tarmac, and Eric Holder weren’t corrupt you are hopeless!

All the arguing over which political party is most racist is ridiculous. If History teaches us anything, it's that, until very recently, racism and other types of ethnic discrimination were so socially acceptable that members of both parties would embrace those ideas without suffering any repercussions.

I feel blessed to live in a time where openly racist or discriminatory practices are not just outlawed, but nearly universally socially reviled.

Obviously there are still people out their who harbor racist sentiments, it has barely been two generations since you could do so openly and still be socially acceptable.

But, we should take comfort in the thought that those who do so are only free to do so in an anonymous forum such as the Internet and are not free to spout their nonsense in a public forum without repercussions.

Why do you think that only one of the two political parties in power has historically and is currently seeking to oppress the black vote?

How?

And the biggest corruption is the enabling and cover-up of the hiLIARy-DNC-Obama Admin spying and coup attempt against Trump.

To the OP. When all you focus on is RACE, all you will see is Racism. There are more productive ways to spend your time.

All those leaders are great leaders for our community.

I don't know what problem you have with them? Well, I can guess, but...

My response. When all you focus on is POLITICS, all you will see is Politics. There are more productive ways to spend your time.

All of the above were trumped up Republican nontroversies.

And you know it.

Just stop Willow. Enough already.

They are all quasi- or neo-socialists, no better than any other Democrats.

No they weren’t. You are a dishonest person.

That is actually amazing given the number of brown and blacks who complain about life in America! It is so bad that they shit on the flag.

But it's OK for conservatives to complain about America for 8 years non-stop under our first black President about how terrible and unlivable the country is, so much so that they elect the biggest, and most corrupt charlatan this side of world history immediately after?

And hilarious is the damage Republicans cost the country and how far back Obama brought it from the cliff where Republicans left it.
Hilarious is they could be so ignorant they don’t see the damage they caused under bush nor the incredible damage they’re causing under Trump.

Just out of curiosity. If you can only disagree with a Black President because he's Black, can you only disagree with a White President because he's White?

Just trying to figure out the ground rules.

How about if you disagree with the president because he’s wrong?
That would mean you would disagree nearly every time with bush and every time with Trump.

It’s insane to think Obama would do gunrunning to Mexico. Where does this bullsh!t come from, it’s crazy.
And the IRS targeting scheme started under bush. And Obama wasn’t allowed to replace the guy in charge of the IRS because Republicans blocked his passage in the Senate. How can you not know that. It’s been linked to 50 times at least over the years.
Remember when bush and the IRS targeted the NAACP for more than two years? Because they were critical of the war in Iraq?

Not only was it in the news, but I posted the links to this site a dozen times at least.

This is as nonsensical as saying that Bush was the one that actually took down bid Laden, not Obama.

Many Republicans thought it was Obama who was president during Katrina. Even though Obama didn’t become president until years after Katrina, a lot of Republicans believe he was president during Katrina. Republicans are insane.

What does she want white people to do?

Use their brains. I figured this shit out by the time I was 22.

And I debunked all of it by the age of 16.....

To the usual racist suspects, please don't comment until you get to the part where the presenter talks about Jackie Robinson, it's not that far in. (I point that out because I recently had an exchange w/one of the usual far rightwingers on Jackie Robinson in these threads, and it's apropos)



Looking forward to your feedback, based on what was presented in the presentation.

I watched around the first 10 or 15 minutes but I don’t have a time to watch it all right now.

But I wasn’t really pleased with what I saw so far.

She starts off with this idea that it’s all about white people versus people of color. And that gives the impression that all racism is just between white people and people of color.

The truth is is that racism is a disease and you can go among those people of color and find racism there. You can find the same thing in Africa. Or Europe. Or South America.

White and black of course are the most visually dramatic. But there’s also racism between Hispanic and Chinese. Even between light skin and dark skin black’s.

In fact, I think it’s almost arrogant that so many white people think the world revolves around them and that racism is between white people and everybody else.

I see racism is a mental illness. And the disease shows up everywhere. But it’s not about one race and everyone else.

But I’ll watch the rest of it later.

Always have to turn this shit back on white people to preserve your pathetic ideology, don’t you?

Who is REALLY more arrogant, the white guilt loser who thinks racism is all about white people oppressing so called “people of color”, or so called “people of color” who believe they CAN’T be racist and that white people CAN’T be victims of racism?

The funny part is that large numbers within the black community still insist on voting for the Democrats, even after living for generations in the Democrat-ruled cities, and advancing not at all.

It means that you have no cultural awareness and long for a time gone by.
