Absolutely. I grew up in the Bronx, and the casual racism against white people is pretty jarring. Heck, if youre a white guy walking the streets of the Bx I wouldnt be surprised if youre more prone to getting mugged or something than other races. If white people wasnt a majority they would be discriminated against to dangerous levels just like in South Africa
This is exactly what leftists want. I've seen too many of them openly admit it in very clear terms that they can't wait until white people are a minority in America so they can "get what's coming." Leftists are as openly racist now as anyone has ever been in history.
Lmfao at this hysterical persecution complex. Leftists are as openly racist as anyone in history? Did you forget the period of American history that completely denied the humanity of blacks, banned Asians from the country, instituted Jim Crow, conducted the Trail of Tears etc? But no, leftists talking about white privilege are equivalent to them.
Leftists are even worse than those people. Back in the old days people did racist things out of ignorance. The left is aware that racism is wrong but chooses to do it anyway. That just leaves it up to evil.
Is that what we're going to go with? Throughout history there have been people that knew that denying the humanity of other people was wrong.
People were blatantly racist and enacted laws back then to gain and maintain hegemony over other people. It was about power and money. They knew what the fuck they were doing, it's not like ancient people not knowing where the sun went at night.
Wait a minute, are you telling me majority of people in the past didnt literally believe people of other races were inferior to them? Tell me if Im being unreasonable here, but I tend to think a significantly larger percentage of people today dont believe that(or open racism wouldnt be frowned upon as much) as compared to the past
Read that again. I said that even during those times there were people that knew racism was wrong so clearly not everyone was "ignorant". Not everyone was beholden to the socially accepted norms at the time.
To say that people were "ignorant" or didn't know any better is false. They knew what the hell they were doing and that was obtaining land, capital, wealth and power at the expense of other people and they would create all kinds of reasons to justify their actions.
To merely attribute that kind of malignant racism to ignorance kind of glosses over the sheer depravity that it takes to dehumanize people that way. ---
