Oh trust me, I know about the disconnect. My child's mother is a part of the lightskin side of her family and they got treated liked shit by the dark side. Lot of "House N****" was used towards them, was awkward for me to be around when I was with my ex and my child was born. I never said anything cause it wasn't my place or family but man... Made me mad cause it felt like they were attacking my child. I'm just saying, if I had a choice in what race I got to be I'd choose mixed. Flaws and all.
No one asked would you change your skin tone... WTF... Do you know what the brown eyed/blue eyed experiment is?
This is 47 minutes long and few of you will watch it. Maybe none of you. It's the blue eyed brown eyed experiment:
British experiment.....different demographic from say....a Dutch Brazilian or a Northern Californian hippy or a French traveler. British Caucasians have a reputation for having a bit of a superiority complex all over the planet....interesting experiment
I think wherethe experiment fails is by allowing free will....overpowered minorities could not get up, walk out and protest with the last word. They are spared violent threat and have no conditioning for being fearful of brown eyed people
It doesn't fail. It just falls short of what we truly experience. There's no way anyone could know. That'd take crazy measures. The point of the exercise is to give some sort of perspective to create empathy.
Sigh... you've been attributing some serious racial stereotypes bruh... nothing you've typed in this thread has been useful....
I spent half my adult life living as a minority in a different culture...I moved overseas by myself unable to speak the language to a village where I was the only Caucasian other than a missionary from New Zealand for a hundred miles....babies would sometimes cry in horror the first time they saw a non asian...people would pull on the hair on my arms and say "whootzi"...monkey and the local language for my culture was barbarian...uncivilized person. In Hawaii I was called Haole....meaning of no color or empty soul. This is an experience many never have. It is not the same as coming from a culture born from slavery and abused for 400 years, but it is insight into what being different brings to the day to day life. I learned their language...customs, and after a long time, they too changed. I favor the Irish in my family but have native blood from my grandmother....sort of always felt evolution would iron out these fears of our differences over time and provide us with a "human" race to identify with.
Its how the real world work. Not the hypothetical, we publish this bullshit study in a journal crap out there. We can study all of this shit until the cows come home. Its not like this thread is useful. "HEY WHITE PEOPLE, WILL YOU SWITCH PLACES WITH BLACK PEOPLE?". Come on now, its a loaded question to begin to elicit white guilt. It really does nothing to correct anything. Its not like Black people are the only persecuted people on this planet, everyone has their own stereotypes and that leads to people judging them, whether fair or not.
This is stupid and proves the point of the question. Since the answer is no (like we already know) that treatment is not acceptable to you, why would you passively accept another demographic being treated that way? I knew you wouldn't look at the less than 1:00 video...
Why would the answer be no? For the most part, people are treated with how they present themselves, not based if someone is a certain race or not.
Its like my extreme examples of "asians can't get laid in America". Do I blame that on society in general? Or do I blame that on the individual? Should I just get laid because I exist? Or must one have to put in the work and effort to do so. Its the same with living in society. Don't act the fuck up or you'll get smacked the fuck up. Just like 2pac said.
