And yet, it is exactly that kind of society that has been the most often attacked as systemically racist. For example, the white government of South Africa before that country changed and, of course, some of the antebellum Southern states of the USA. And we could also add most of the European colonies in the third world prior to the World Wars.
You are correct. However,people have trouble recognizing the enemy they cannot see. So they fight what they can see which is usually skin and culture. Unfortunately, too many Christians do not even know or discern the real enemy.
I don't understand. Are you saying it's racist to identify racist people as actually being racist?
Sorry, but as Christians who should be led of the Holy Spirit we really don't have that excuse to stand on. Where is our testimony? The truth is that some have itching ears, just hearing what they want to hear, because that way they will never have any responsibility or have to change anything outside of their comfort zone.
Well, if there were any likely conditions to be met, wouldn't those be ideal? In what other ways can it be established and thrive? If we do see signs of it, should we do nothing? Should we attack those who stand against it? Whatever their skin colour happens to be? Or should we turn a blind eye and not insist on justice?
To repeat. I pointed out the error in claiming that only a majority group can dominate a minority group in the way indicated, and I did so by referring readers to what are two of the most famous examples in recent time of systemic racism...and both were cases in which the minority dominated the racial minority. That's it.
The parties were at least trying to work together before Obama. But since then, they can hardly speak civilly to one another.
According to Anderson, white rage is legitimatized through the policies that make up the American political framework. It lives in voter ID laws and manifests in the Black votes that are never cast. It lives in criminal sentencing laws and plays out in a war on drugs that was waged against Black people. It is the rage that fueled the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6 in an attempt to dismantle America’s multicultural democracy — and it hasn’t gone away.
“White rage is the operational function of white supremacy. It is the fear of a multicultural democracy. It is predicated on a sense that only whites are legitimate Americans,” Anderson told me. -Vox.com
I only recently heard this expression and it was on the news. I don't remember in what context it was used but I looked it up and it's the title of this book.
Has anyone read this book? What are people hearing about this term and what it means? I just got hip to this term so I haven't formed an opinion yet. I'm sure others have.
