    While all of this is true all races have a history of racism, genocide and slavery.

    Doesn't make what my ancestors did less horrifying, but it does help put it into perspective.

    Learning about it is how we prevent it from happening in the future.

    The idea of banning the teaching of any history in our schools is obsurd. It's a disgrace.

    I too would much rather be alone in a car with a beautiful woman than in a room full of fat drunks paying her to be naked.

    I've been to one strip club, one time. My wife wanted to go, so we went.

    That has nothing to do with white though. That's all about money (the wealthy). Calling that minority "white" is just buying into their divide and conquer construct.

    It's the wealthy vs the poor. As it always has been.

    That the poor white people latch onto the fact that they look more like the wealthy than other races is a feature of said construct. As is focusing on that tendency.

    These are all distractions the wealthy are happy to have us consumed by.

    Again.... what does this have to do with what I'm saying? He isn't saying "hateful white males." He's saying "white males."

    I don't care what you label it. Racism. Bigotry. He's making sweeping generalizations about people based on the color of their skin. Not sure why this is so hard for people to grasp what I'm against here.

    You can include yourself in the people who claim white as a heritage if you want.

    Decolonize your mind. You're not white. But if you subscribe to the system that continues to oppress me, you're no better than the racists... Now, go look up your history and trace it back to where your people came from. You have this privilege that I do do not have.

    Then maybe you'll stop letting racists call you white...

    In Oberlin, Louisiana, Darrell Semien served as police officer for 15 years before dying of cancer at 55. A representative of the local cemetery told his widow that a clause in their burial contract mandated the right of burial there only to white people. This happened in 2021.

    No such thing as racism....

    I'm clearly never going to get across to you that you're not affording someone the respect that you're asking for. Saying shit like this to someone is just so disrespectful, and the flip side would be something that I think you would find extremely offensive. I guess you do you, but frankly I'm convinced that things could change 100% and you would still hold onto these feelings towards white people.

    What is it you find offensive about decolonizing your mind?

    dviss: “I never once even insinuated you were racist”
    dviss: “you probably wonder why you can’t use the N word because they say it all the time in our songs”.

    God this post is bullshit. Your posts holier than thou attitude is impossible to like. It’s like you don’t read your own words. Please put me on ignore and I’ll do the same. Just know that any “educating” you hope to do in here on race is less effective when you are a total asshole.

    There are no white people. So there can’t be white fragility. Or white supremacy. I guess, since that is what dviss says.

    Being told not to say boys to black men, no matter the circumstance, isn’t crazy to me. The reaction to being told that says a lot

    Yeah, when someone asks "why the hell" I liked a post, it comes across pretty angry to me.

    some things defy context. You didn’t mean to be racist but you should acknowledge that it isn’t and shouldn’t be acceptable to refer to any black man as boy. Especially using it to put them down as you did. The history speaks for itself.

    Because it's insulting. Calling white people colonists. Telling us we need to decolonize our minds. It's a way to dismiss someone's opinion without even addressing it.

    Shouldn't calling any adult male boy be unacceptable?

    I mean, if you're going to continue to support someone's position without chiming in, I'd like to hear your reasoning.
