OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Are you kidding?

no you didn't say directly one race is superior over the other.
You insinuated a race was doing something because of being of a particular race. Insinuating what they were doing was stupid because they were caucasion.
Implying other races are smarter.
Which is racist.


Im done with this if you are actually deciding that bullshit statement and cant admit it was prejudiced/racist against caucasians.
i expect this type of deflection from other posters.
Didn't think you would join that club....

 

Perhaps. but ya gotta admit that you're so damned "like"-able.

 

I do not believe that's what you were saying or meant in your posts at all.

Thats why you said it subliminally. You slipped in there you think they were treated differently for being white. Your opinion is because they are white, they are allowed to do something others cant.

Im calling bullshit.

I will say, id have to scroll back. If i said you were racist i didn't mean that. I meant the post or viewpoint is racist.
If you think they get preferential treatment because they are white, how is that not a racial profile? Especially put how you put it?
Im not saying preferential treatment doesn't exist. Im saying the assumption it happened because they were white is a prejudiced comment based on race.
To me that's a racist comment. Not saying you are racist.

You are generalizing all people of one race with an obvious jaded viewpoint.

i maybe didnt come at tou right from the beginning, but i stand by my point that that comment is the same thing as lumping all blacks together saying they are criminals.

blacks are criminals and white have privilege


Both are wrong.


Im saying be better than that.

if you want to stop generalizing black racism, then stop generalizing white privilege.

neither are black and white and both have many levels.

 

i think you are right.
Good catch!



I indeed did read his comment differently than you and thus took your comment differently.

Sorry about that and thanks for looking it up to clarify.

 

Only one of those is wrong.

 

Oth are wrong to blindly generalize. Privilege has degrees. Not all white have privilege. Most can, yes. Some take Advantage, yes.

But not all whites have the same privileges aNd not all of them take advantage of what levels they do have.

im still a believer that to get rid of prejudices, racism, it cant be countered with sweeping labels.
Those being labeled will unite at the thought of being lumped together, in opposition.
If both sides could detect and isolate their troubles from within, which i believe needs to happen for any type of equality to come about,
Then they are both wrong in regards to repairing anything.

 

But all white people do have SOME level of privilege just by being white and walking into 7-eleven at midnight and nobody cares. All Black people have to deal with some racism throughout their lives. 100%. Black kids have to have the thought in their mind when they are waking down the street that they are black in a white neighborhood and what could happen. My kids don’t.

 

This is not 100% true though. I have witnessed and been with Black people walking into a store late at night( me being white with them maybe had an influence?), and no issues.

Ive seen some seriously fucked up meth head white boys walk into a store and get openly denied any business just because. So my point is its not 100% and we need to stop generalizing everything as if it is. Republican viewpoints differe from one to the next. Same with Dems.

Same with cops, some are good some are bad. Blacks, whites, asians., etc.


to get over the racism hump, we need to stop using the race card for anything. Positive or negative and take each incident and dissect it on its own. Some incidents will be determined to have racial motivations, etc. but we just need to stop lumping people together. It does no good for mot anyone.

That's my point really.

I truly believe the sooner we get to this point, we will then have taken a large step to creating true equality, but without this happening, no more steps will be taken for improvement. This is why I preach it. I think its truly important and will helps us all move together as one unified human race.

So for me it can get frustrating when I see or hear people who voice the want of equality, but continue to use divisive language.


How on earth can we all consider each other equal if we keep separating ourselves through language and action?

Damn, can you imagine casually diving and suddenly seeing a hungry 17 foot great white coming at you, knowing you're about to be ripped to shreds and eaten alive ?
