So what I’ve learned is that ALL types of people actually DO stand up to racism against black people

But not to somebody who isn’t white making racial statements about whites. Let’s talk about it ( Read my last 2 questions for evidence)

I don't think you're evaluating it correctly. Black people don't claim all whites are racist, Just like a billion brown Indians don't claim 70 million white Brits are racist for what they'd done. However racism is present still at large and directed towards the coloured people still. The fact is racism was somewhat a cultural things for a large section of whites. While Americans used to have blacks as pets, Belgian rulers used to cut hands of black children for not being able to work properly or white Brits used to hang Indians coz they felt later were too uncultured to even considered as human being..all those things somehow made a strong impact on colored people and a large section still find whites as racist. I mean you won't see blacks having white slaves do you?
So in present day, what I believe some black people harbor that hatred in them for the whites and done from those some want to give it back. This is exactly what happened in Zimbabwe and going to happen in RSA. He'll, south African blacks are even hating Indians.

@SW-User Actually, identitarians do claim that. It's baked in to the identity groups. Every white person in the US is responsible for slavery in the US and every Brit is responsible for colonization in India. That's where the concept of white privilege and mandatory alliedship comes from.

@SW-User Racism is racism...regardless of who holds the attitudes or what ever the past held. It ALL need to be let go....
Sicarium · 46-50, M
There's two definitions of racism floating around. The first, the traditional definition, says that discrimination based on a race (skin color, primarily) is racism. The second, an identitarian redefinition, is that racism is prejudice plus power.

If someone is an identitarian, they're not going to defend white people from racism because they don't consider it racist under the assumption that white people are in power in that situation. These are the ones who say black people, or whatever other minority, can't be racist.

@Faust76 So. in other words you can't really dispute anything I said without reading something I didn't say and all of this was a misdirect. Gotcha.
Faust76 · 46-50, M
@Sicarium Yes, that's a great attempt at misdirect you have there, but it's not going to fool anyone. 😲
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Faust76 Then clearly state what you're trying to dispute without putting words in my mouth or resorting to a word salad. You've only had five chances to do that already.
indyjoe · 56-60, M
I agree with what you're saying here, but I'm not touching it with a ten foot pole...
@indyjoe Very well!!
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@EugenieLaBorgia Good to hear!
@indyjoe Same here. I've found that when I do, usually I get attacked. Even though what I say is positive.

I've also found that regarding this topic a lot of people want to be [b]right[/b], and forget to be helpful.

All that proves is that you know how to be an asshole and pervert truth to suit your own narrative like other assholes of all ethnicities. 🤷‍♂️
NoSugarCoating · 26-30, F
Black people cant claim that all whites are racist if majority of the people who stood up for them were white just saying. @Elegy
Elegy · 46-50
@NoSugarCoating Nothing you're saying makes sense, in context, which leads me to assume you're being inflammatory because you're a bored child.
@NoSugarCoating I feel the same way. My Black ex-gf took some serious heat but used common sense and did not call [b]All [/b]white people racist. I am a Latino and when I lived in SF, CA my Filipino ex-gf (Pinay) was different and had some serious views against Black people. But I think it was because her sister's boyfriend was Black and she acted a little jealous of her, but I loved her in spite of it. Either way, it does sound like a sweeping and absolute statement to say All people of any race are racist. Why? Because I've found that very few things in the Universe are absolute, even the stars in the sky don't last forever. Peace.

Oh yes when someone’s racist towards a white/brown/East Asian person it’s always a “joke” but all hells break loose if someone’s racist to a black person
Racism is racism, the double standards are pathetic
I remember being on a pavilion by the boat docks in Biloxi Mississippi. Some kids came by, probably between 5 and 8 years old. I was homeless and probably looked it. A little boy came up and called me a "dirty cracker" and spit on me, and then his sister came up and gave me a hug. The little boy snatched her away, and cussed her out for doing it. That's how it is though. It's not the shade of the skin but the hardness of the heart. I can get a blood transfusion from a Somalian. That's where the rubber hits the road, and that is what people need to get through their thick skulls.
@puck61 Wow, that's some serious experience.

"I was homeless and probably looked it." As long as I have known you, I wasn't aware of that. I was almost homeless in CA myself and this brings back a lot of memories. I found that basically No One Cares and you're on your own. I had to dig myself out of it and move back to my home state. It took years.

Hope things have gotten better for you. You're one tough cookie. Thanks for sharing.
@DudeistPriest A broken heart, then alcohol, then a kind of trap that I continually set for myself. I got in a program and worked my way back to being a "functional member of society"

It is more socially acceptable to make generalisations about white people than others.
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@Ryannnnnn Right...it's all part of the double standard and hypocrisy that permeates our society.
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
@indyjoe It's mostly ignorant people who make generalisations about people in the first place, but the identitarian politics at the present seems to be creating more of those people.

Luckily most people are above that in reality.
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@Ryannnnnn Correct, it's those ignorant people who are creating and perpetuating the double standard and hypocrisy I spoke of.
Miram · 31-35, F
Not really. That conclusion is false even based on your questions.

Three of them stood up to you in both of the posts, and that is half the respondents.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Congressional black caucus all black no WHITES ALLOWED.
All black colleges but no all white colleges, though the black colleges get taxpayer funded......... RACISM STARTS WITH CONGRESS
@MarineBob I am a Latino and over time (decades) I have come to realize the point you made is a valid and important one. I don't believe discrimination can be solved using more discrimination. Likewise, racism cannot be solved by laying it thick with more racism. This philosophy is counter-intuitive and not productive.

Btw, decades have gone by and it seems as if we are no closer to solving this problem. Clearly a new and working perspective is needed.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
First there was regular old racism;

then the liberals invented [i]institutionalized racism[/i] where anyone that uses facts, logic, & common sense and/or disagrees with them is a racist...🤔
Correct. If we are white, we are a blight.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
White people don't experience racism in any way that matters. It's not like I make less money because of my race. I don't know any offensive white people jokes. That's why people respond differently.
Faust76 · 46-50, M
@CountScrofula I wanted to inflame people by asking a Q and probably still will, if by their definition of "racism" blonde jokes aren't racist as well. Sure, they're discriminatory and probably offensive if not welcomes, but so are all jokes. Anyway you dice it, the argument on word definitions on this is nutty. It's like calling prisoners "missing persons" and claiming that justifies kidnapping people.
Keraunos · 36-40, M
@CountScrofula That is [i]entirely[/i] contextual. What you mean is white people like [i]you[/i] don't experience racism in any way that matters. My eldest brother, who grew up in the slums of San Antonio, regularly got beaten up for his skin color, and was once actually turned down in an interview for benefits by a Hispanic screener because he shouldn't need any since he's white, would have other things to say about that. I've met some white people who lived in Detroit who would as well.
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
your test is flawed
You are very brave for posting this. I respect that.
Rokasu · 36-40, M
Stay in school kids.
@Rokasu Education is great, but US school have generally created this generation and half of crazy monster people! Schools here have been globalist indoctrination facilities for 60 years. The education part actually sucks compared to most of the world, but the indoctrination has been a complete success!
Rokasu · 36-40, M
@puck61 It was less a literal statement and more metaphorical.
SW-User
maybe because it's rare to see someone being racist to a honkey ass cracker. they have all the privileges and now they lowkey whine about racism against them like they caught a unicorn for the first time
@SW-User I see more black privilege than white privilege. That smoke is ridiculous!

There are racist posts that humiliate blacks that are still up. I flagged your post whether it was an experiment or not.

There is a plague that SW already suffers with racism against the Black Culture.

Your post didn’t help.
If you say so.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
To you all who commented: I dont get why you all like this post. Her test literally failed, she just made her mind up of what the final outcome would be before even testing, and then she pretended that this test resulted in what her opinion already predetermined.

The second post about black people was more directly approaching racism since it commented on their appearance, while on the initial post about white people she just left it up to interpretation. But even then still several people commented saying that she was being racist on the white post.

While i believe in the idea she has in this post, I still have to say that she didnt learn shit. She just posted two racist posts.. and then gave her not so original idea.

Do you honestly find that surprising?
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
It's really up to the individual, not members of a race or community as a whole.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
wow what an experiment...
