What black people think about racism

[Jackson]

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!

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

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

You going to talk to whites here about this? Or is it just a requirement for you that people of color don't talk about race so much?

 

[IM2]

Whites here want to dismiss things said because we aren't famous or that we don't speak for all black people because of the delusion they live in. Despite the fact none of them are famous, none of them are black and most of them don't have a pot to piss in, they think they can speak for all blacks. So it's once aian time.

Making America White Again
The choices made by white men, who are prepared to abandon their humanity out of fear of black men and women, suggest the true horror of lost status.
By Toni Morrison
November 14, 2016

This is a serious project. All immigrants to the United States know (and knew) that if they want to become real, authentic Americans they must reduce their fealty to their native country and regard it as secondary, subordinate, in order to emphasize their whiteness. Unlike any nation in Europe, the United States holds whiteness as the unifying force. Here, for many people, the definition of “Americanness” is color.

Under slave laws, the necessity for color rankings was obvious, but in America today, post-civil-rights legislation, white people’s conviction of their natural superiority is being lost. Rapidly lost. There are “people of color” everywhere, threatening to erase this long-understood definition of America. And what then? Another black President? A predominantly black Senate? Three black Supreme Court Justices? The threat is frightening.

In order to limit the possibility of this untenable change, and restore whiteness to its former status as a marker of national identity, a number of white Americans are sacrificing themselves. They have begun to do things they clearly don’t really want to be doing, and, to do so, they are (1) abandoning their sense of human dignity and (2) risking the appearance of cowardice. Much as they may hate their behavior, and know full well how craven it is, they are willing to kill small children attending Sunday school and slaughter churchgoers who invite a white boy to pray. Embarrassing as the obvious display of cowardice must be, they are willing to set fire to churches, and to start firing in them while the members are at prayer. And, shameful as such demonstrations of weakness are, they are willing to shoot black children in the street.

To keep alive the perception of white superiority, these white Americans tuck their heads under cone-shaped hats and American flags and deny themselves the dignity of face-to-face confrontation, training their guns on the unarmed, the innocent, the scared, on subjects who are running away, exposing their unthreatening backs to bullets. Surely, shooting a fleeing man in the back hurts the presumption of white strength? The sad plight of grown white men, crouching beneath their (better) selves, to slaughter the innocent during traffic stops, to push black women’s faces into the dirt, to handcuff black children. Only the frightened would do that. Right?

These sacrifices, made by supposedly tough white men, who are prepared to abandon their humanity out of fear of black men and women, suggest the true horror of lost status.

It may be hard to feel pity for the men who are making these bizarre sacrifices in the name of white power and supremacy. Personal debasement is not easy for white people (especially for white men), but to retain the conviction of their superiority to others—especially to black people—they are willing to risk contempt, and to be reviled by the mature, the sophisticated, and the strong. If it weren’t so ignorant and pitiful, one could mourn this collapse of dignity in service to an evil cause.

The comfort of being “naturally better than,” of not having to struggle or demand civil treatment, is hard to give up. The confidence that you will not be watched in a department store, that you are the preferred customer in high-end restaurants—these social inflections, belonging to whiteness, are greedily relished.

So scary are the consequences of a collapse of white privilege that many Americans have flocked to a political platform that supports and translates violence against the defenseless as strength. These people are not so much angry as terrified, with the kind of terror that makes knees tremble.

On Election Day, how eagerly so many white voters—both the poorly educated and the well educated—embraced the shame and fear sowed by Donald Trump. The candidate whose company has been sued by the Justice Department for not renting apartments to black people. The candidate who questioned whether Barack Obama was born in the United States, and who seemed to condone the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester at a campaign rally. The candidate who kept black workers off the floors of his casinos. The candidate who is beloved by David Duke and endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan.

William Faulkner understood this better than almost any other American writer. In “Absalom, Absalom,” incest is less of a taboo for an upper-class Southern family than acknowledging the one drop of black blood that would clearly soil the family line. Rather than lose its “whiteness” (once again), the family chooses murder.

Making America White Again

It is safe to say that Toni Morrison DID speak for blacks. Her words sound familiar, so you better recognize the lie you're living in.

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 must like it a lot here, because you never went back to Africa. So stop your bellyaching already.

I am curious about this idea, if we went to the continent of Africa and posted that we will provide transportation to the US free of charge but once here you must work hard at any job you wish. The money you earn you can use to support your family and we will provide your children education so that they can better themselves. We prefer applicants that will obey the law and be just a little happy they are here. There will be problems you will face, some people will call you names and if you let them, some people may not give you equal opportunity for all the jobs available. Your ancestors may have been sent here as a slave and we are sorry about that but in the end, they were freed and we will not enslave you. You will be mostly equal under the law, but I will admit it will be tougher on you if you commit a crime than the white people. If you are willing to stand up to all the quoted hardships, then Welcome Aboard.

We are full up on ignorant blacks. No thanks.

Well while you’re at it ask blacks if the thousands of blacks who will shoot and kill other blacks in their hoods this year are racists too since they’re obviously targeting only black folks.

Thanks. White folks wanna know.

Concern yourself white whites killing each other because about 90 percent of all whites murdered are murdered by another white.

Thanks. White people need to know this.

So what percentage of blacks in prison are due to repeat offenders?

Given the fact blacks can get sentenced for a crime that a white may get probation for, your question shows you are willing to by pass shitloads of proof that the criminal justice system is racist. Now that is the answer you are going to get, so do not try the standard white racist ploy of claiming how I didn't answer your question.

did you ever find that law that restricts blacks from doing something a white can do???

and hate to break it to you, but here in KC a black gets probation and a white gets jail time,,,

I lived in KC until 3 years ago. Your comment is a lie.

Since the criminal justice system has been proven racist, your question is irrelevant.

it hasnt been proven racist,,in fact its been proven in favor of the minorities,,,,

did you find those laws you were talking about???

It was proven racist that's why a criminal justice reform bill was passed by the house and senate.

did you find any laws for me??

I've seen none,,,

 

[katsteve2012]

You should put yourself in the shoes of a white person having to deal with all the hostility, aggression and intimidation coming from racist blacks like you.

So there are captive audiences of whites somewhere that have to put up with racist blacks? Where exactly is this?

It's nowhere. No one here HAS TO put up with, or deal with anyone here.

I think the ignore feature is still functioning.

Racism in America Today Is Alive and Well — And These Stats Prove It

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Black people think they are not racist.

racist blacks like this creature called IM2 actually define the term in such a way that it cannot possibly apply to them because of their skin color.

Pretty convenient, eh?

It's all about the racist black agenda of never having to be held responsible for ANYTHING they do or say.

And then they wonder why other races don't want to live near them. So they call us racists.
