White Supremacy Terror in America

[georgephillip]

How are black people supposed to compete on a level field after centuries of systematic racial discrimination?

Get up every day and go to work. Make good choices. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Obey the law. Treat others with respect. Anybody who does that, regardless of race or gender, will be successful.

Get up every day and go to work. Make good choices. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Obey the law. Treat others with respect. Anybody who does that, regardless of race or gender, will be successful.

What work are you referring to? 44% of US workers, age 18-64 have a median income of less than $18,000. Black communities have been handicapped for generations by codified segregation and a school to prison pipeline designed to house a surplus population whose jobs were shipped to China in order to facilitate shareholder value. What "good choices" do you imagine are available to those with no education, no wealth, and facing a future that looks even worse?

"The starkest divides are in measures of household wealth, reflecting centuries of white privilege that have made it particularly difficult for people of color to achieve economic security.

The U.S. doesn't have a caste system. There are plenty of successful blacks. There is NOTHING to stop anyone in America from being successful.

The U.S. doesn't have a caste system. There are plenty of successful blacks. There is NOTHING to stop anyone in America from being successful.

The US has systematically discriminated against Blacks from the very beginning of its racist existence. In the 20th Century, mortgage discrimination was among the most useful tools for preventing Black wealth accumulation and sustaining white privilege:

The Racist Housing Policy That Made Your Neighborhood

"One of the most heinous of these policies was introduced by the creation of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934, and lasted until 1968.

"Otherwise celebrated for making homeownership accessible to white people by guaranteeing their loans, the FHA explicitly refused to back loans to black people or even other people who lived near black people.

"As TNC puts it, 'Redlining destroyed the possibility of investment wherever black people lived.'

"To understand the depth of the racism of these regulations, you have to read the descriptions of the grades that FHA gave to neighborhoods from A (green) to D (red).

"I've included them all at the end of this post, but here is the 'C' classification (emphasis added), which is where my Oakland neighborhood fell (keep in mind restrictions as used here, means clauses, written into the title, not to sell to non-whites)"

Views on white advantages break along race, party

"A majority of Americans (56%) say that white people either benefit “a great deal” (26%) or “a fair amount” (29%) from advantages that blacks do not have."

Are you having trouble making the connection between white privilege and white supremacy?

This was the topic of your OP.

"This Is America

"Eleven years after Obama’s election, and three years into the Trump presidency, the threat of domestic terrorism can’t be ignored."

There are an estimated 148 white-nationalist "hate groups" in this country. Although exact membership is impossible to calculate, their propensity for violence is equally impossible to ignore.

What does the commie myth of white privilege have to do with domestic terrorist? Are you now claiming all whites are domestic terrorist?

A Year Inside a Growing American Terrorist Movement

"When Dylann Storm Roof walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, he joined the Bible-study class before gunning down nine African-Americans as they prayed."

Oh bullshit, ignorance drives all deviants, skin color is irrelevant. The fact is you and Dylann Roof have more in common than you will ever admit. Even in the 60s I went to school with all races and had friends that included all of them. We all got the same education form the same teachers, did we all turn out the same, hell no. Some wound up on drugs and destroyed their own lives, others went on to own businesses that did very well. That's because everyone is the sum total of their own decisions, that none were forced to make. That applies to everyone in the US. Just look at people like Herman Cain, Justice Sotomayor, Oprah, and all the minority athletes and movie stars, that rose above their humble beginnings. Using race today as an excuse for personal failure is just pathetic.

But you didn't all start at the same place.
Most middle-class families derive a majority of their wealth from their homes. For decades, black families who were as qualified as white families were denied the opportunity to acquire federally insured mortgages. Across multiple generations, that translates into one more giant example of white privilege.

Buying a home is easier if you're white

And? Most in my family never owned their homes till later in life. Some rented all their lives. So your multi-generational claim is BS, average people of all races coming out of the great depression took generations to recover, few had anything to pass to the next generation. But once again you are so far off topic it's pathetic.

.

And? Most in my family never owned their homes till later in life. Some rented all their lives. So your multi-generational claim is BS

Why is that?
Because one family's experience allegedly qualifies as an exception to my claim? On average Black families own about one-fifth as much wealth as whites, and part of the explanation for that reality is government policies like redlining that deliberately deprived Black families from acquiring wealth.

There's nothing new about racism and bigotry in US History; racial prejudice is baked into the star-spangled cake, so to speak; Trump is living proof

Whiteness studies - Wikipedia

"Whiteness studies is the study of the structures that produce white privilege,[1] the examination of what whiteness is when analyzed as a race, a culture, and a source of systemic racism,[2] and the exploration of other social phenomena generated by the societal compositions, perceptions and group behaviours of white people.[3]

"An interdisciplinary arena of inquiry that has developed beginning in the United States from white trash studies..."

1. Bullshit. There has been no rise in violence.

2. How many white supremacists are there? How many has that number increased by? Estimates are ok.

3. Where and when is that photo from? I have never seen such a large nazi rally reported. Was that a movie? Are those actors?

White supremacy is baked into the US.
It is a founding principle, and the implicit racial bias of many white Americans today is obvious to anyone willing to look:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...whites-are-biased-and-they-dont-even-know-it/

"Most white Americans demonstrate bias against blacks, even if they're not aware of or able to control it.

"It's a surprisingly little-discussed factor in the anguishing debates over race and law enforcement that followed the shootings of unarmed black men by white police officers.

"Such implicit biases -- which, if they were to influence split-second law enforcement decisions, could have life or death consequences -- are measured by psychological tests, most prominently the computerized Implicit Association Test, which has been taken by over two million people online at the website Project Implicit."

The trans national slave trade was created by Africans and Euorpeans you moron.....and the indians here also had slavery before the Europeans ever arrived.....our Constitution is the first time that all men were recognized as being created equal, you dope.....racism was ended here...it is twits like you who fight to keep it alive.

You say our Constitution is the first time that all men were recognized as being created equal etc. but they certainly mind Blacks not being equal, did they?

What part of all men created equal, did you not understand?

What part of all men created equal, did you not understand?

The part where some men owned other men as personal property:

The Congo of America: The Slave Trade of Washington, D.C.

"The building of Washington required the importation of so many highly skilled Black craftsmen, that the District became known as 'the Congo of America.'

"And as they toiled to erect the home of their oppressors, including the Capitol—the seat of the most corrupt body of misleaders in the annals of time—could these Black builders have contemplated an Obama as the future head of such a government?"

Blacks in America were not "legally" equal until the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and Jim Crow was outlawed, more than 100 years after slavery was abolished, and it's passage did not magically create an environment of equality overnight.

I assume that you are referring to Madam CJ Walker. Yes, she was, according to some historians the first self made, female millionaire.

She earned her fortune by developing a hair care system that EXCLUSIVELY benefitted black females, so her client base and business support was 100% black, in a segregated society that generally considered blacks to be second class citizens.

That does not mean that she was considered equal from a civil rights standpoint.

Pretty much the same as numerous black entertainers and sports celebrities, who could ENTERTAIN in white owned venues, but after entertaining had to leave through the back door.

Do you understand the difference, or do I need to explain?

Madam C.J. Walker

How to Steal Things, Exploit People, and Avoid All Responsibility

"As I've written, the process began with the understanding that racism was a "done thing" and not an irrepressible clash between people of different hues.

"Another way of putting this is to say white supremacy is not an invention of white people; white people are an invention of white supremacy.

Even in the 60s I went to school with all races and had friends that included all of them. We all got the same education form the same teachers, did we all turn out the same, hell no. Some wound up on drugs and destroyed their own lives, others went on to own businesses that did very well. That's because everyone is the sum total of their own decisions, that none were forced to make. That applies to everyone in the US. Just look at people like Herman Cain, Justice Sotomayor, Oprah, and all the minority athletes and movie stars, that rose above their humble beginnings. Using race today as an excuse for personal failure is just pathetic.

But you didn't all start at the same place.
Most middle-class families derive a majority of their wealth from their homes. For decades, black families who were as qualified as white families were denied the opportunity to acquire federally insured mortgages. Across multiple generations, that translates into one more giant example of white privilege.

Buying a home is easier if you're white

And? Most in my family never owned their homes till later in life. Some rented all their lives. So your multi-generational claim is BS, average people of all races coming out of the great depression took generations to recover, few had anything to pass to the next generation. But once again you are so far off topic it's pathetic.

Why is that?
Because one family's experience allegedly qualifies as an exception to my claim? On average Black families own about one-fifth as much wealth as whites, and part of the explanation for that reality is government policies like redlining that deliberately deprived Black families from acquiring wealth.

Cooperative principle - Wikipedia

"In social science generally and linguistics specifically, the cooperative principle describes how people achieve effective conversational communication in common social situations—that is, how listeners and speakers act cooperatively and mutually accept one another to be understood in a particular way..."

"Maxim of relation (or relevance)[edit]

• "Be relevant.

"With respect to this maxim, Grice writes, 'Though the maxim itself is terse, its formulation conceals a number of problems that exercise me a good deal: questions about what different kinds and focuses of relevance there may be, how these shift in the course of a talk exchange, how to allow for the fact that subjects of conversations are legitimately changed, and so on.'"

How are black people supposed to compete on a level field after centuries of systematic racial discrimination?

Get up every day and go to work. Make good choices. Stay away from drugs and alcohol. Obey the law. Treat others with respect. Anybody who does that, regardless of race or gender, will be successful.

What work are you referring to? 44% of US workers, age 18-64 have a median income of less than $18,000. Black communities have been handicapped for generations by codified segregation and a school to prison pipeline designed to house a surplus population whose jobs were shipped to China in order to facilitate shareholder value. What "good choices" do you imagine are available to those with no education, no wealth, and facing a future that looks even worse?

You could vote for the politician that wants to bring the jobs back.

He lied about that too.

Record low black unemployment and rising lower end wages, trumps your image.



YOu made a real point, ie the difficulty of black males filling the role of father in a society that does not care about the wages of the "working man".


My answer, was real.


Your dismissal of it, was proof that you were not serious about your complaint. And that you do not care about the male black workers that you were pretending to champion just a few minutes ago.

Record low black unemployment and rising lower end wages, trumps your image.

Has it occurred to you Trump is lying about his economic numbers too?

As an aside, how could anyone be stupid enough to believe anything this POS has to say?

On Those Questionable US Wage Stats…Again - CounterPunch.org

"In recent months, various independent business and research sources have been raising questions about the accuracy of US official job and wage statistics.

"Several more sources have joined the discussion, questioning the oft-cited official—and widespread mainstream press reported–3.1% annual rise in US wages the past year.

"As many have indicated, the 3.1% grossly over-estimates recent wage increases in the US for several important reasons."

"The starkest divides are in measures of household wealth, reflecting centuries of white privilege that have made it particularly difficult for people of color to achieve economic security.

The U.S. doesn't have a caste system. There are plenty of successful blacks. There is NOTHING to stop anyone in America from being successful.

The US has systematically discriminated against Blacks from the very beginning of its racist existence. In the 20th Century, mortgage discrimination was among the most useful tools for preventing Black wealth accumulation and sustaining white privilege:

The Racist Housing Policy That Made Your Neighborhood

"One of the most heinous of these policies was introduced by the creation of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934, and lasted until 1968.

"Otherwise celebrated for making homeownership accessible to white people by guaranteeing their loans, the FHA explicitly refused to back loans to black people or even other people who lived near black people.

"As TNC puts it, 'Redlining destroyed the possibility of investment wherever black people lived.'

"To understand the depth of the racism of these regulations, you have to read the descriptions of the grades that FHA gave to neighborhoods from A (green) to D (red).

"I've included them all at the end of this post, but here is the 'C' classification (emphasis added), which is where my Oakland neighborhood fell (keep in mind restrictions as used here, means clauses, written into the title, not to sell to non-whites)"

DUDE. WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM OF RISING WHITE SUPREMACIST NUMBERS?!

"Extremist-related murders spiked 35 percent from 2017 to 2018, 'making them responsible for more deaths than in any year since 1995,' according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Last year, every one of those extremist-related murders was carried out by a right-wing extremist.

Dude: LEARN TO READ

"Meanwhile, white supremacist propaganda distribution nearly tripled from 2017 to 2018, according to the ADL, which also documented a rise in racist rallies and demonstrations.

"According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, 2018 was also the fourth straight year of hate group growth, culminating in a 30 percent increase overall, 'roughly coinciding' with President Donald Trump’s campaign and presidency."

White nationalism-fueled violence is on the rise, but FBI is slow to call it domestic terrorism

Dude, this type of stuff is extraordinarily RARE. As well, this type of stuff has nothing to do with Trump.

The President’s Pursuit of White Power

"Armed white terrorists, many of them Confederate veterans, stormed the July 1866 constitutional convention in New Orleans and slaughtered nearly 50 people, many of them black Union veterans.

"The attendees at the convention had committed a crime of dire proportions: They had sought to enfranchise the black population of Louisiana following the imposition of the Black Codes, laws that had reduced the black population of the state to a position of near-slavery.

"The white men of the South had no choice but to engage in mass murder.

"Or at least that’s how the president of the United States saw it...."
