| Topic | NYC public school asks parents to 'reflect' on their 'whiteness' |
| Taharqa_ 02/17/21 1:07:15 PM #131: | Rhiethreal posted... Real talk. White priledge is a non-issue. Stoking racial unrest is a tool of the 1% to maintain their power. They are afraid of what would happen if poor whites and poor blacks realized that they have more in common with one another than either does with the rich. White privilege is a very real issue. Until 57 years ago literally every white person was legally elevated above every person of color, and there is still rampant discrimination that persists today. Those attitudes and framing of the racial hierarchy that dominated this country for centuries still linger. The 1 percent stoking racial unrest has been a tool since the aftermath of Baker's Rebellion Poor white people have more in common with poor folks of other racial groups, but that fraternity of whiteness is the sticking point that we see play out time and time again. It all goes back to Baker's Rebellion (in the US anyway) and Lyndon Johnson put it plain terms. --- "We tried to tell y'all." - African-American proverb ... Copied to Clipboard! |
