A fish does not know it swims. The individual poor white man loves to point out what he personalty does not have. Yet he is not aware of the ocean of advantage around him even if he is not the king fish. It's the heart of the racial issue in America. Some people refuse to acknowledge it exits. We have a president who is openly racist and consistently sends out dog whistles for example since he knows people like you exist who will excuse it away since racism does not exist. In this environment fish swim. The biases creeps into the courts, housing, loans etc. They also said MLK was a trouble maker since slavery ended 100 years prior to his time. Now BLM is the trouble maker for saying the same thing. White people are not in charge of deciding what is racist or not and some white people just don't get that. Perhaps in it's own way an example of the ocean and the fish's delusions.
Don’t you ever wonder if you responding thoughtfully merely gives credit to the incredible? If not, I think you ought.
In your mind, what point do we have to reach in being discriminatory toward white people so their whole race can understand what racism feels like? And once we reach that point, do you feel racism is gonna disappear? Seems to me that socially engineering society to hate whites is gonna prolong and intensify the racism problem.
No one hates white people as a race. They hate white people with certain views. They also hate that black women with these views is her name Candice something? The poster girl for the alt-right to be "not racist" since she's black and says Hitler was an OK guy. For all you talk of identity politics you are very concerned with your own race. I am concerned with taking the human race to the next step and how racism applies to that. In that way I "identity" the issue that is making humans divide themselves. I'm not saying white people can not suffer racism. But the demographics and history of American society don't create that in the same way other races suffer now. Racism could disappear if we choose it to. Now, we are a point where it exits and that statement is offensive to racists and their allies. When we stop seeing the type of news stores and Candice statements we do we are that next step of evolution. As for white people being a victim who knows in the future how people will feel. I would support white rights as much as the next guy if they truly needed it. Right now we don't.
That's what I don't seem to get. It seems to me that hating anyone for their color is racism at its simplest point, 1-on-1. What I also don't get is this fantasy about trying to "raise awareness" about "white racism/supremacy/'splaining". I don't know about you, but I have been subject to "raising awareness" since the 60s. The message has changed over the years, but the core of it remains, who hates who. I doubt we'll ever really know why. If a millionaire can complain about being oppressed because he's paid to play ball, who knows what kind of nonsense can be dredged up? It seems like my only choice is to walk on eggshells and beg profusely for forgiveness whenever I "offend" someone by virtue of my blinding whiteness. I've worked for international companies since the late 90s. Anyone who brings disharmony is usually sorted out by the rest. They either fall in line, or they leave. I've happily watched as hard core southern "Christians" chose the door rather than fight group reluctance to their spreading of the word. I don't like being preached at. But this also goes for assholes who assume I'm a racist for being white or a sexist for being a man. Thankfully those have been far more rare than the religious kooks. But then, I DO live in the "Bible Belt".
Racism and sexism exist. If you don't like hearing people talk about it, then get out and change the social structure that perpetuates them.
The issue in politics, and life in general, is more often what to ignore, rather than, what to pay attention to, which is why one in five Americans insists the sun revolves around the earth, because the truth obviously does not serve them.
That's only according to at least 40 years of research by the National Science Foundation, so you could be right. I suspect the number is much higher. My specialty is finding just such academically approved evidence, that academics are full of crap. You don't really expect "objective" scientists to systematically prove their own institutions are full of crap and promoting the destruction of the world do you?
Scientists get paid to argue until the crows fly home, because you never know which one is the bigger idiot, and its usually best to have them design weapons to kill each other. Its just easier to let them sort out between themselves and let the market correct itself. The future of the planet depends on who can stop the rest from destroying it. The pharmaceutical companies are working overtime, along with the AI researchers and porn industry.
I love it when progressives try to virtue signal to their followers, only to make a racist Freudian slip. Bette Midler called 'racist' over Trump rally tweet that African Americans were 'paid to be there' | Daily Mail Online The truth is that Democrat elites are the most racist sub culture. Seeing the whole world through the lens of collectivism, they think all black people are supposed to vote only their way without question. And if any of them dare to go against those marching orders, that they must be taking bribes by someone else. This is the bigotry of low expectations.

How about a spray that makes one's beard fall out . . . it could have polonium 210 or caesium 137 in it and a picture of Fidel Castro on the bottle. The radio advertisements could be of excerpts of Joe Pesci's character in JFK yelling about "whacking out The Beard" and chuckling about the aborted operation to make Castro's beard fall out
Not really true Who has ever said black people are paid to vote how they do? It's more like conservatives are upset that they endorse racism and can't get black votes. They are the ones who say any left wing vote is some sort of scam. I'm honostly asking. Can you post a single source of a Democrat saying they did not get votes for a financial conspiracy reason? Because the whole "illegals are let in to vote a certain way" thing is a VERY common right wing argument. Maybe such a source exists and I did not see it. In general I guess black people see something in the left. Maybe a lack of Nazis and Confederate flags for one. It's a bit silly to see a conspiracy when the answer is so simple. To get the vote of many Trump voters it requires a certain stroking of the white ego that non-whites don't like. It requires endorsing a time when racial relations were more skewed. I mean the simple fact Obama was black and did not have a good white man name was upsetting to these voters. Black people notice this. Cling to Lincoln if you want but racism exists in one party. And that party wants to say that it's actuly the party that has most black votes that has conned them in a racist way. As I said it's silly and I have no idea how to rationalize it. Is it not an insult to an entire race's intelligence to say they accept such a lie? That is also kind of racist no? To say someone is just too stupid to understand. Right wing people like to say they treat black people as equals so they are not racist. Well I guess they feel equal on the left as well and also don't feel insulted when they are told they are too stupid to really "get" reality. Small government and low tax could be a black thing. That's not really what it means to be right wing anymore. The white voter matters more than black just based on population. The party has decided to appeal to the white voter who does not accept racism exists not the black person who might suffer from it. It's just marketing, they go with who buys the most.
I'm honestly asking, have you ever had a conversation with a conservative of color? If you stopped seeing the world in media-made stereotypes, you might understand why individuals might have differing opinions than the collective hive mind the media likes to group them into. There are some people who've feel betrayed by left wing politicians and the democrat party because of all the broken promises they kept feeding them. These people come from the inner cities that've suffered the consequences of left wing policies, and are getting fed up with it. They happen to be non-white, and it makes you feel very threatened that your slaves are running away. BLEXIT – We Free One of my first post-college employers was a black conservative. He discovered my talents early on and helped me grow my career.
