You've subscribed to revisionist history, and I'm wasting my time.I didn't say whites are more racist than blacks...I said racism practiced by whites is more potent in terms of outcomes, or to be more specific, tangible disadvantages, than the same amount of racism practiced by non whites.It's easy to demonize white people for what appears to be a myriad of denial about their varying racial resentments.
Conservatives especially, who can view self reflection as a weakness.
I personally find it childish for white people to be the first in the room to become outraged about anything racial, when throughout America's history, the racism they have institutionalized has been far more damaging to non whites in terms of outcomes, than racism practiced by any other racial demographic.
That's right...I went there...racism from whites is more potent, that that of non whites.
I think that concept is a huge part of both the denial by whites, and also that applies to white wine Liberals who champion the cause of racial equality, but still clutch their purses, or cross the street, when a non white approaches them.
Ego defense for white people will always include a demon of their own creation that isn't anybody but themselves. For conservatives these days, it's the liberal who wants blacks to be poor, to cultivate their votes. For liberals, it's the traditional neo confederate-post segregation racist.
I myself, had a seminal moment regarding my own racism, when in 1995, I was in a Supermarket, and guarding the shopping cart that had my sister's purse. White people walked by, and it didn't change my approach to my duty. Then without really thinking about it, I caught myself pulling the cart closer to myself when a black couple walked by. It was not a conscious act. But I noticed it.
A liberal in denial might not have noticed what they did, and a conservative in denial might say it was street smarts.
You may see white people becoming unglued and desperate, but that's the reaction any race would display when being called out on their own BS.
Black on white crime verses white on black crime flies in the face of your implication that whites are more racist than blacks.
Here is an example...
Throughout segregation days, black racism didn't prevent whites from buying a house in a black neighborhood, but white racism prevented blacks from buying houses in white neighborhoods
Is it the same today? NO. And it's because of the efforts of the Republican party (rich old white men).
What you're referring to is Jim Crow laws, which ended when the Republicans overwhelming voted for the Civil rights Act.
When someone creates their own reality, it's impossible to speak with them about another one.
