What black people think about racism

[progressive hunter]

I am a woman of color and I am numb to racism since it has always been in my life. It is what it is so why the big fuss because Trump may be a racist. All I want from him is to secure the border an enforce our immigration laws and that is not racist and if it is then I am a racist also or just believe this is a nation of laws for ALL of us.

LilOlLady, this is good information you have shared about yourself. I think we could be good friends for I feel the same way.

I have seen you on threads all over the board. It never came to me that you were a person of color for you are such a well rounded person, one part of your life doesn't consume your being. Many should share you as an example of being interested in so many things can help you understand the commonality between people.

Looking forward to seeing you on other forums!

I am still confused as to that which constitutes "person of color"

I am Native American and doesn't that make me a person of color? ...a person who is not white or of European parentage.

native americans came over the land bridge from russia and europe before that,,,so no you are not a person of color

I have no idea------I was a biology major in undergraduate school---
and a health professional in graduate school. I learned something
about the very vague concept of "race" in the single species
"homo-sapien" -----especially that since homosapiens are very mobile in history and interbreed freely------that there is no clear cut
way to delineate "races"-------There are very few issues in the health sciences related to just race------but-- some. ----which are mostly related to the geographical area in which a given population
developed over a LONG period of time------usually at the very least---1000 years. ----and, of course, INTERBREEDING within the group. It is generally accepted that the Human brain, thruout the entire species, is formed and functions in the same way. In my field------a person IS what his brain does. Skin color is a very superficial issue. It is my observation that the present accepted
concept of "race' is that you can claim anything you wish to be.
I have no idea why anyone would focus on "EUROPEAN" Geographically that body of inhabited land is not isolated. You want 'to know something about a RACE of organisms-----find an isolated
island. You may find a new race of frogs. "EUROPEAN" ---do you think that the people of northern Africa had nothing to do with the people of the Iberian Penninsula for the past 3000 years?

I am not white, I am brown. And I experience the same discrimination as a person of color. And some of my distant relatives brought Africans over on ships and some of my distant relatives were on those ships.

 

[irosie91]

I have a burning question------am I a person of color? -----
I have gazed at my FLESH-----it ain't white----more pinkish. I walk barefoot all day------the bottoms of my feet are BLACK. My eyes
(ie the irises) are brown.

Race means nothing to me except the human race. In my immediate family are 15 nationalities and we are one unit.

no----actually I am not stupid. Perhaps I should have said----
'can you provide some information as to the society in which you
live and in what way the people of your society discriminate' ?
There are lots and lots of ways that people are subject to
discrimination around the world----based on many different issues.
Skin color is one but not the only one. I live in the USA in what is
called "THE METROPOLITAN AREA" Based on my location and
my profession, I have mingled with just about every "permutation" of human in the world and learned a bit here and there about their
attitudes to this and that human "type"

your post seems to suggest that "race" does mean something to
you-----You have stated that you are discriminated against like the
race of people newly described as "person of color"

The big fuss is because how many children do you think have ever though

"geez the President of the United States cheated on his wife/had a mistress/smoked weed/got a blow job in the oval office/is endorsed by white supremists/is a racist asshole and bigot - it must be okay for me to do all those things too!"

Just one theory.

None of the above is a crime. Sound like a normal man to me.lol

Yeah okay, however not everything that is wrong is a crime per se. There are a lot of things that are a civil wrong racial and other discrimination being just one of them. And when a person feels that another race is inferior to theirs and they harbor hatred and ill will against those others this sometimes leads them to violent acts which are crimes.

We never want things to get to that point but as we have seen over & over again in just the last year, that this is what's occurring.

Leaked FBI Docs Show They View "Black Identity Extremism" As A Growing Threat

Yep.

The racist portion as represented by those in this thread are not interested in equality .They are not interested in leading their own life and allowing others to lead theirs. No, they are interested only in DOMINATING.

Look at the language of the black racists here. They promise "smackdowns" They vow to make women cry. They threaten to break people's jaws .They say they want to see white childran killed in front of their .parents and say there is a great day of reckoning coming for white people. They use bullying tactics to try to force people to be quiet.

These are not people who want to end racism .They merely want to turn around the status quo from bygone eras 180 degrees. It's all about role reversal with these racists who have learned NOTHING in their miserable lives than hatred and seek payback for things that didn't even happen to them

And you got laws and policy. I gave you three yesterday. That's all you are going to get.

you gave me opinions not laws,,,

Shelby County v. Holder - Case Summary and Case Brief

a case summary is not a law,,,now give me a law,,,

This is a supreme court decision. Your game is finished.

Shelby County v. Holder - Case Summary and Case Brief

a decision is not written law

A lawsuit or criminal case is an allegation that someone violated a criminal law, a civil law, an administrative rule, etc. If either of the parties do not agree with the outcome of the case they may appeal to a higher court who will review the proceedings to see if the lower court complied with all of the regulations & requirements and conducted the case as it should have.

If after the appellate court decision either of the parties still do not agree with the outcome they can petition the Supreme Court to weigh in and hand down a decision which for all intents & purposes is the final word on the matter.

But all of these cases begin with an accusation that someone violated a "law".

Quit acting like you haven't been provided with what you asked for simply because you're unable to understand it.

In this thread we hope to explore how blacks feel about continuing white racism, the impact of 243 years of racist law and policy, unfixed damage caused by those policies and the psychological/physiological/sociological impact of continuing white racism on blacks. Since the default position of many here in individual debates with black members on the topic of race is always," You don't speak for all blacks because all the blacks I know agree with me," I have invited other black members of this forum to provide input on this matter.

You are not the one to tell us. You are a racist yourself.

 

[NewsVine_Mariyam]

As far is an example of belligerence, all I need to do is point out your reaction to Rosie here. That goes beyond belligerence and enters the realm of attempted intimidation.

If you are so sure of your position then why don't you prove me wrong because all you're doing presently is making false allegations based on your own racial biases & prejudices.

Rosie has been warned repeatedly to quit harassing me and attempting to engage me in conversation on my own threads, on the threads of others both before and after being issued a cease & desist. Apparently once you report a poster the offending post disappears therefore the evidence of what she said to me before I responded the way I did is no longer visible.

While I don't find it that suprising that you would think that her calling me a bitch, and a diseased steet walker is untoward, it is more than telling that in spite of my not disparging her character in return that you consider this belligerent on my part but see no fault with her behavior. And if you didn't know, and just stuck your nose into what was happening, I would attribute you jumping to the wrong conclusions about me is also based on the racial animus you display towards blacks. You've basically a self-admitted racist.

I don't do intimidation but I was not kidding when I told her that if she didn't quit the sheriff would be at her door. I keep forgetting that she evens exists until she pops up again giving her uninformed opinion on my comments.

newsvine... Feel free to place those posts of mine that you consider
harassment in a folder in your own computer. Your "case" against me will
suffer if you have no evidence. As to your order to "cease and desist"---even that will be dismissed without evidence

Who said anything about a case?

You, I, and everybody black here who doesn't suffer from internalized racism, knew this is what would happen. We see here the perfect lab for white fragility, white grievance politics, white identity politics, and white victimhood. They are unable to take the same personal responsibility they tell everyone else to take. The great legend Sister Morrison stated their condition eloquently and in no uncertain terms.
