You mean things like saying black folks are perfectly capable of obtaining IDs to vote? That they know how to use the internet? That if they work hard they can succeed? …… or the crap you post talking about how they’re helpless?No, but if you are AA, wouldn’t a lot of stuff posted on here spark a reaction from you? I said one thing, not even inflammatory, about Jews and (I think) 3 different ones asked for clarification.
No, like the actual racist bs we see on this board daily.You mean things like saying black folks are perfectly capable of obtaining IDs to vote? That they know how to use the internet? That if they work hard they can succeed? …… or the crap you post talking about how they’re helpless?
Let's flip things around: how do we bring people who see their situation as coming from institutionalized racism to understand that it's not, and that their decisions can break them out?
You can't, you can lay it out plainly. But only the individuals within a culture reject or accept basic concepts and ideas.Let's flip things around: how do we bring people who see their situation as coming from institutionalized racism to understand that it's not, and that their decisions can break them out?
Identity is a very powerful thing that people will risk their lives to defend. I really don't know how you break people of defending their identity as "oppressed person of color". They may think of themselves as "oppressed" (which I probably wouldn't agree with), and are subconsciously identifying with a larger group of people with similar ideals and are likely very willing to stay in that identity group. If you blow up that narrative, they essentially lose their identity. So I can't see it working to simply switch the narrative, it has to be a long and painful evolution of the narrative. How you do that from the outside? Seems impossible. That's why I've always maintained the following: "To a black oppressed identity group member: Whether you think white people are to blame for your condition or not, White people can't be the ones to fix it for you. As individuals, you are all responsible for the actions you take in your own individual lives." Sounds heartless, but it is the reality. White people can't fix the black community. They simply can't. And all the woke white guilt types need to quit pretending that they are the protectors of the black community. All you are doing is validating their victimhood and preventing them from evolving their narrative.
Where the women hot? Did they really use tar or maybe something like honey or whipped cream? This film might have some merit.Oh, an “honest mistake”. So if you’re a woke liberal, you skate. I think I’m starting to see how this works.
