Weird that @xOmniCloudx keeps returning but avoiding the post where he said it's "smart" to think black people are dangerous, and that the good ones are "exceptions."

Wonder why that is.

Then you don't think all black women are ugly, and you wouldn't make that statement. That's the point. "Black" is just a made up race and like other posters have said there's a ton of variation within that group.

you just said earlier that Man A thinks that a majority of black people are harmful to society, and that the good ones are an exception.

Then you called that man "smart."

You are arguing that this isn't racism. That believing that a majority of a racial group are dangerous is not racism.

I'd wager most white people would be more inclined to be understanding and supportive if privilege wasn't the first thing thrown in their faces. Now whether you think being "nice" to white people despite past transgressions is a necessarily evil or a natural move to progress I can't help you.


"White privilege" as a buzzword is a pretty recent thing. "Black people always play the race card" and "Minorities get all the unfair advantages" have been around much longer than that. I don't think it matters if people are being nice about it or not. But I agree with you that you probably can't get the support of the majority of the country while antagonizing them.

Nothing. I'm kind of asking the same question about you, except in an unoffensive way. Why would you be upset about the quality of a children's cartoon show that you're not the key demograpic for? Why do you find the time to complain about things so insignificant? And I'm looking for a real answer, and I'm not insulting you. I just don't get the mentality.

Man 1: I don't like Black people because they're dangerous.
Me: What makes you say that?
Man 1: Personal experiences, statistics and talking with other people
Me: So what about Black people that aren't actually dangerous and are constructive members of society
Man 1: I have no problem with them but unfortunately they seem to be an exception from experience or the rates being too high to default to a Black person not being dangerous.

Anyone that would call that man racist is clueless on what the term racist means.


"I had a limited amount of bad experiences with black people, I looked up their crime rate statistics and found that although their rates are higher still very very very few black people commit crime and I talked to some people who agree with me. I therefore default to the idea that most black people are dangerous, and the exceptions are the black people who are good and helpful members of society."

And you say the above is NOT racist.

This is all golden. And very CE like.

If you're going to say man 1 and man 2 are the same, you are an idiot plain and simple lol.


I wouldn't say man 1 and man 2 are the same. They're both racist, but the first guy is somewhat racist, whereas the second guy is an extreme racist.

Someone thinking I'm stupid because I'm black but otherwise having no direct power over me is an example of bigotry, not racism.


No, it's an example of racism. Racism is an intolerance of other races, a belief that you are superior to someone because of their race, or a governmental system put in place to affect either of those things.

Bigotry is an intolerance of someone else because of their opinions or religious beliefs.
Prejudice is a catch-all for any kind of negative pre judging of someone before you know them, for whatever reason.

I'm a Black man and I've dealt with a fair share of prejudice (which is what most people throwing racism out means 90% of the time) but little ACTUAL racism. That's because I actually knows what the word means.

Clearly you don't. Racism can be extreme or it can be subtle. It's USUALLY subtle. And prejudices based on the subject of race is racism.

This sounds basically like mobsters and protection money...


Edit: So I went and looked up what was going on because literally handing over money to gangs sounded absolutely insane and not at all something people would literally do.



They're handing out stipends to children suspects of gang violence after going through reform programs and getting them into jobs and stuff. That's radically different from what it sounded like from the title. I still think the stipends is pretty dumb, but I agree with everything else.


If a conservative posts something, just assume it's a lie. 99% of the time, you'll be right.

Hahaha oh man


He does have a point. Whites come in all shades. You have pale skin, tanned and even really tanned. Dark hair, red hair and blonde hair. Brown eyes, hazel eyes, blue eyes, green eyes etc.

There is no demographic on the planet that beats Europeans when it comes to diversity. Middle eastern comes close though.

As if every homeless person did nothing to get themselves there and people that pay mortgage/rent got that dwelling handed to them on a silver platter.

If being white does indeed present advantages over other races than white people then point out what can be done to change these advantages or even the odds for other races rather than just keep saying white people have magical powers.


Two problems with this. 1. You're severely misunderstanding what is meant by white privilege, and I think you're doing it on purpose. It has nothing to do with silver platters or magical powers. 2. Even if this was presented to me in the nicest way possible, I'm not giving up my privilege. I know I'm at an advantage to other people, but I also realize I have bills to pay and a future to start, and I'm not in a position where I have a ton of extra privilege to hand out. So I don't see a situation where *any* term that points out white people have advantages, or minorities have disadvantages, being taken well by a white majority. It doesn't bother me when I hear it because I know it's true, but I'm also not giving up my position.

No, I didn't. Being mixed doesn't automatically mean you're a damn zebra (white and black). You can be a Blasians, Eurasians, and so on. I like being very specific.

I'm pretty sure "Mulatto" specifically means a black and white person.

That's a better argument for communism or socialism money knows money and likes to hangout with money. Jimbo from the trailerpark is about as likely as Leeroy from the pjs or Jesus from the Barrio to be invited to join.


I'm just using the country club as an example. Most businesses, clubs and organizations whether they be fortune 500 companies or startup businesses in the boonies, are full of white guys and "knowing the right people" is the best way to get into those. And most of the people we know tend to be the same race as us.

But knowing the right people isn't tied to race it's tied to the local economy and social scene. If a straight white dude tried to open a barbershop in Harlem he would face the same issues as a gay black man trying to open a sports bar in the bible belt.


But considering the local economies and social scenes are still pretty segregated means it is at least somewhat tied to race.

Exactly.

"minorities traditionally locked out of avenues that white people have used to accrue wealth" thing.


Literally there's no avenue that exists like that at all in the US today.


Even if this was true,
1. the generations of minorities that were locked out still affect today's society
2. just because the laws have changed doesn't mean there was a sudden rush of minorities to every corner of the cultures of success.

For instance, all white country clubs. One day they open their doors to people of all colors. It's not like the club is instantly 15% hispanic, 12% black, 5% asian, and so on. The people who know about the club, the people who get referred to the club, the people who have an "in" at the club are still going to be almost all white. The privilege doesn't instantly disappear just because the rules changed.

The thing is, white people's "advantages" are just what life is like in a homogeneous society. "Not being discriminated against for your race" isn't a privilege, it's the default. You go to any racially homogenous country and you won't ever hear "gee I sure am thankful I don't get discriminated against for my race". It's an issue people in a minority group experience, not a privilege people in the majority group enjoy.


Hello apartheid.
