Jesse Lee Peterson, a man of color, destroys white privilege.

I am showing you why you are the racist pos man. Thats what I am doing.
Your message is this : Wanna get in the white boys club in hat pic? Git gud then.
You 1-dimensional cognitive reach will of course not grasp this. De-program yourself man, turn off Fox. Today. Your life will improve already tomorrow, not least for the people around you daily.

I'm not the racist here, I just go one skin color more than you with my expectations of equality.

True. He doesn't actually come up with the propaganda, he simply regurgitates it.

You guys think I am being too harsh on Slow by referencing Goebbels in the same context? I think we can agree that Slow is likely not the mastermind here, that would be ~Bannon-ish. Still as, of the moment, the #1 source of alt right propaganda, I think the context fits within these walls.

 

[Stokely]

I'm sure that is partly true, but then as a white male I haven't been constantly pulled over by police...or harassed at my job...or have had to tell my kids how to deal with being picked on. They are half-asian so I ask them about it, but thankfully they seem to be in some pretty open-minded schools. There's even a freaking gay student club in my oldest's high school, I can't imagine that being there way back when.

It's not bullshit that minorities have to deal with far more crap than white people do. It's also not bullshit that some minorities take advantage of this to play the racism card (people of every sex and color tend to be troll bastards that will do anything to get ahead, so there is that.)

Too harsh? No, it's that he's not smart enough to be Goebbels. He's simply a propaganda parrot.

Your flaw here is that there are more than two choices. You can choose to try or not to try, but, when you choose to try there is many different paths to go down. You can also choose to try and dismantle the barrier.

Playing a victim hurts typically. But, often people confuse playing the victim with seeing the barriers unique to them.



This is wrong. There are countless examples of when society has shaped the choices people are faced with. Lets use a non US example. In say S.A. you can choose to be openly gay and be executed, or, you can hide that you are gay. Both are bad choices that are there because of society.

Do you agree with that?



This part seems inconsistent with your previous statements. How can barriers not hold back people? Those barriers may not prohibit everyone, or even most, but, they are there and they have an impact.

Being dumb may not prevent you from getting rich, but, you are far less likely no?

Great, then there are three choices. Two of which go forward, one of which plays to what today's left wants.

Let's keep things in context. I'm not talking about getting beheaded in another country, this is really about racism in America. I'm talking about personal responsibility vs. blaming society.

What I'm getting at is there is no institutionalized barrier so great that it cannot be overcome with modest effort. No African American has to be Jackie Robinson today.

And equality in your mind is the white boys club in that picture?

There is a huge difference in "no institutional racism" and "race does not hold you back". You did not make it clear that your original post was only about institutional racism.

As for bringing up another country, that's because you said society does not influence choices. That is clearly wrong in that case, and, I believe is wrong for the US as well.

Haven’t read through the whole thread so it may have been discussed already, but I think the breakdown of the family is the biggest hurdle black have to overcome.

https://datacenter.kidscount.org/da...,867,133,38,35,18/10,11,9,12,1,185,13/432,431

In 2016 24% of white kids lived in a single parent household while 66% of black kids did. That dooms them to poverty, reduced parenting time, no male role model, etc. And there is absolutely nothing that whites or the government are doing to create this situation.

I wonder if you actually believe that bullshit. Sometimes it's a bit hard to tell.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Because the country is littered with white guys shot because they were legally carrying or white guys shot because they legally obeyed orders from the police or white guys suffering criminal sentences twice the about black guys.

Go fuck yourself.

Well... Yes...actually they are. Try reading government statistics instead of cherry picked bias media that makes you feel good and have warm fuzzy feelings.

You might just learn something inside that tiny microscopic head you fucking retard.

Then, please, by all means link all those govt. statistics that show that whites get harsher sentences than blacks for equivalent crimes or any of the other items you dismissed mentioned by Homer. Please......I'm very curious. Thanks.


LOL....who am I kidding? You won't show a damned thing. You'll just ignore this as you typically do.....or if you do respond, you'll simply dismissively respond "Do your own research," which, from all I've read, tend to prove you wrong. But I'd be fascinated to see all those govt. stats to which you allude.

And you have decided that THIS is where that cycle begins and ends why? I mean there is a billion other stops or at least 360 if you want to count whole degrees, but why that particular point on the circle, UC, why do you think *THAT* is the culprit of all things wrong with that picture?


pssst : Ill tell you what I think, I think you cherry pick this shit cause it fits your narrative, your worldview, a worldview that I am sure you yourself dont perceive as bigoted... but dude, it is. Sorry man, but it is. You are. Good news, you can change that shit right now.

That is one of the points made in the second video early on. In 1960 only ~20% of African American children were born to single mothers. Today that number is north of 70%. The follow up was, if this isn't a culture problem (as opposed to racism holding some minority demographics back), is America more racist today post civil rights or less racist?

Totally missing the effects of mass incarceration that disproportionately impact minorities (especially African Americans) is a hell of a thing.

People have been complaining about the contribution of single black parent households to black people’s problems for 50 years. Ironically, the percentage of white kids living in single parent households today is higher than the percentage of black kids living in single parent households when this concern trolling began, yet we see no such similar complaints. Why do you think that is?

It’s also interesting to see as rural white poverty becomes generational they are exhibiting the same characteristics that racists chalked up to black culture. Single parent households, drug addiction, reliance on government, etc. Oddly enough I see no thought pieces on white culture causing this. Why do you think that is?

My guess is because people can't think which is what a thought pieces would require. White culture is black culture. You have to be a piece of shit to denigrate and humiliate people of a different color and turn their culture into shit. Shit breeds more shit.

Guys, look at Elizabeth Warren as an example. A proud Native American that did not let her minority status hold her back from achieving. She had a passion and followed it, she is very successful today.

Yet the thought pieces flowed so freely when it was blaming black culture. I wonder why people have so much trouble getting the creative juices flowing for white culture?

Can you source that? Everything I am seeing says otherwise.

White culture is not Black culture. You will find that many people would find that offensive in the Black community. By trying to say its the same, you are taking away its uniqueness. What a silly thing to say.

It'd be great if we could all see ourselves as one big human family, I hope one day that is the case. But, as things are right now there are separations in cultures to some degree, sometimes based on race / skin color. Want to test this in real life? I'll give you a list of words or phrases that, as a white man, are taboo to say and so much as uttering them would get you banned here and possibly a lot worse in real life in the company of African Americans.

Have you seen the video where the white guy is assaulted by an African American woman for having dreadlocks?
