Current Events > NYC public school asks parents to 'reflect' on their 'whiteness'

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fire the shit out of any who dared post this about our white race.

Prime example any race can be racist

See? You can't even name one.

You made the person up in order to bolster your argument.

That's the strawman.

Yes, of course they exist, but you don't care enough to do the work on it. You just wanted something vague to prop up what you were saying.

Lol

This is literally the dumbest thing that I have ever read.

Then name one.

We're struggling getting outright white supremacists to go back into hiding. Does the nuance of other whites really matter if we can't handle that tiny bit?

I don't understand why white liberals think this is the way to go, when it's proven constantly that it drives people away from them and to the right.

---

Proven constantly? Where's the proof?

---

Good for the school, this is the appropriate rhetoric we need to tackle racism once and for all.

---

Does this make you uncomfortable? Does it offend you? Then wallow in it, piece of shit! Sit and think about what your people have done to everyone! Literally everyone has suffered at your white hands, and shit's about to change. Do your part by smothering yourself in discomfort, recognizing that you ain't shit if you ain't white, pointing the finger at yourself and your white family where it belongs, and saying that you, a white person, can never not be part of the problem, but you can try, and it starts by recognizing that you're part of the problem.

I mean sure, preach, it sounds like a great recruitment speech for the right.

It's always funny how people like this never realize that taking down the structures that prop up white privilege and the white elite would benefit poor whites too.

Then maybe use the language and rhetoric of class privliege/divide to get their point across instead of racially loaded vocabulary, just a thought.

Can't have an honest discussion about class without an honest discussion about race, the two are linked.

---

Fair enough, I guess it was inappropriate for me to even question whether we should use language that isn't racially loaded, it was very insensitive of me and I apologize.

---

Living your life riddled with guilt simply for being white must be such a miserable existence.

Id pull my kid out of that shit stain school so damn fast

Being white is okay you're fine just don't be shitty whatever

Kind of

I mean, the more moderate racist/non racist whites being more vocally anti racist would assist in getting rid of the white supremacists.

It's a tool, but it should by no means viewed as the only took. Many strategies should be employed to try and cover all of your bases.

In reality, this is an experiment in action and no one really knows how to destroy white supremacy. We only know that it's influence has decreased, but still stayed unfortunately relevant for an extremely long time.

Shangy and david literally just did that in #166. They let the mask slip.

Then it isn't "white" privilege; it's "rich" privilege, exactly like I pointed out earlier in the thread.

ImAMarvel posted...

Why can't it be both?

Simple logic.


---

The article itself seemed weird, but judging by the graphic it doesnt seem like this is an attack on white *people*, but on institutionalized racism that benefits white people, as well as the levels of support, complicity, apathy, resistance, and rejection that white people have towards that system.

Its a message thats easily misconstrued and going to turn a lot of people off, because the minute you say anything about the system, people who dont understand take it personally. And a lot of people who do understand pretend to take it personally as a form of white supremacist propaganda.

---

He's got you there. He'll never explain what that logic is, but boy does he gotcha.

I mean that pretty much sums up this topic.

it's very sick to push this on children

"Logic" is "whatever I think makes sense", right?

I reflect on my whiteness all the time tbh

Yeah but what white person is really wallowing in self-hatred and guilt just b/c they might've admitted they might've benefited from white privilege or at least admitted its existence?

I mean I never said self-hatred was a trait, I'd assume that's a much rarer occurrence. But as far as guilt If your someone who believes in the "8 White Identities" and considers themselves on the "green" side of the scale you probably should feel guilty shouldn't you?

No, but the people I am arguing with seem to believe that.

The only mirror I have is in my bathroom and I only pay attention to it when shaving, trimming beard or giving myself haircut.

This why the Public US school system is such a dumpster fire.

Rather then teaching life skills like counting, reading or writing, they are pushing racist rubbish out.

Best way to win a class war is to start a race war I guess lol
