Reminder: racism requires power and only whites posses power due to their privilege, so it is impossible for non-whites to be racist.
That's why I fixed it for you. I changed it to didn't, as in black people didn't used to target whites for hate crimes. This is going to be no different than crazy idiots listening to fox news and attacking someone. I guarantee you that everyone in that video and within 20 feet of it combined together with internet access couldn't program an alarm clock or microwave. Total animals, feral is a word that comes to mind.
I learned that in my American Cultures class, which was probably the easiest "A" I got. Just basically made shit up that would appeal to the teacher and it worked.
Racism isn't exclusive to any group..soldiers called asians gooks, arabs sand niggers, all kinds of racial slurs and they're not all white guys by any stretch. Obama has more power than me, Kim Jung Ill has more power than me. What goes on in your neighborhood doesn't reflect what's going on in the world. Money is power, not race
That's why I got a B in those classes and a C+ in woman's studies. The most ridiculous statements and bullshit is thrown around in those classes.
At osu they didnt say you have to have power. They said you can only be racist if you're the majority and in this country whites are the majority. They also said whites can't experience racism because they are the majority
Psychology of Gender Differences was the single greatest class I ever took. It was also easy as fuck. Once you learn how manipulate people, these fluff classes are just pretty simple and common sense. You just have to separate emotion out of the equation and tell them what they want to hear. It was like 90% Alpha Phi girls () and there were only 4 bros in the class. Even our teacher was hot, which is kind of weird when you think about it.
They can say what they want but a white kid growing up in Compton, Harlem, East Los Angeles, Oakland, Southside Chicago, New Orleans, etc...is not growing up as a majority
But in those communities, non-whites do not have the power still. Like I said, white privilege is institutional in the United States.
I'm not arguing white domination of money and government, I am looking at having power from a neighborhood perspective. It's relative to your subculture wherever you choose to live. Michael Jordan has a lot more power than Rick Cho does. These demographics are changing and you young folk have the opportunity to affect it moving forward. I also didn't assume you were just talking about the US
I agree, I brought up the fact that I dated an Indian girl at osu, and Indians are very traditional people. Her grandparents told her not to date bmws which meant blacks, Mexicans, Muslims or whites. She was friends with quite a few Indian guys and girls and they all treated me like shit and didnt approve of our relationship. they would treat me like crap and wouldn't include me in anything they did. I was told this was in no way racism and that I was overreacting because I can't experience racism in the US as the majority
Yeah, Mags, it's a "hate crime" but it has no similar effect to hate crimes in reverse (white against black). What dviss1 said is true in my experience. Black people don't want to mess with white people out of the blue for no good reason. I actually can understand why black folk might not want white folk in their neighborhood. It's nothing at all like white people not wanting black people in theirs. In the former case, black folk are actually done a lot of harm over the years by white people in their neighborhoods (including the cops). In the latter case, it's bigoted and racist means to keep black folk down. The world is full of examples where minority populations/races dominated the majority. South Africa and Apartheid is a recent example, as is Sunni minority domination of Shiite muslim populations in places like Saddam's Iraq.
I am fully aware and I definitely agree that throughout history, the hate on blacks has been terribly bad. But as the saying goes "Just because someone else did it doesn't make it right". The funny thing is people assume I am white because of my comments. I am a dark mother fucker! I just cannot tolerate movement that promotes violence. I think all these extremist be put in prison for abusing their freedom of speech to condone acts of violence on another race
