Refreshing...If There Were Only More Black Leaders Like This One...

[Ana the Ist]

Apparently whiteness is a parasitic condition that needs treatment. In a paper published in the American Psychoanalytic Journal the author wrote:
Moss argues that white people possess an 'entitled dominion' that enables the 'host' to wield power 'without limit, force without restriction, violence without mercy,' and increases one's desire to 'terrorize.'"

He also said white people need psychic and social intervention to get rid of their whiteness.

So CRT is deeply flawed and racist to the core.

There's the "prelude to genocide". When they start comparing you to parasites and vermin, your dehumanization in the public consciousness is nearing completion.

Britannica is devoid of the background of this theory and does not have the depth. It's extremely myopic and surface oriented. The fact it does not hing to address where it came from proves that fact. The facts are as I presented which in Paul.Harveys famous words are "the rest of the story."

Ignoring the facts makes one willingly ignorant.

So why are you ignoring Britannica's facts? You don't like what it says or you just don't think Britannica uses facts in its encyclopedia?

 

[rturner76]

Let me guess, the reason is because white people did something and individual character has nothing to do with it.

The music you are talking about came from the black community and the black community bought it and generally performed it. Record companies only care about the money they are going to make. If the black community didn't buy or support it then the companies wouldn't sell it.
No matter who owns the company.

Do you see racism in everything?

More white people buy those records. Jay-Z didn't sell 50 million records to just black people. Individual choices are paramount. Some people are faces with better choices than others. Like white people for example.

You got PA wrong. Nothing nice about it. And it wasn't directed at you to begin with, so I don't know why you're getting all worked up about it.

You have no idea what my experiences are. You keep guessing and you keep being wrong.

So you do see discrimination?

Passive Aggressive:
behavior is when you express negative feelings indirectly instead of openly talking about them.

I think I have been pretty direct in my argument.

Post#204 was addressed to me and seemed to indicate I was being passive-aggressive. At least you said you don't like IT if it wasn't addressed to me.

 

[rturner76]

Less likely?

In public schools across the nation they're all being racially abused.

Buffalo students told 'all white people play a part' in systemic racism

That's not abusing that's useful information because white people do ru things and they make the rules.

Ahhh....ok.

You believe all white people are racist then?

Nope, but I have come across a great many racist people. It was like four out of five white girls who liked me as a youngster could not introduce me to their parents for their parent's feelings about mixing races. I had teachers who told me that my white blood didn't matter and the since my dad was black, I was black. He said "whatever you are mixed with, that's what you are." Even though I was advanced in reading, I had teachers who put me with the slow kids anyway.

These experiences and many more have affected the way I view racism. I would say my experience is unique but so many of my friends went through the same things. It makes me think it's a common occurrence.

I don't believe that all white people are racist at all, just that racism is a common occurrence in my experience.

This is an example of enduring racism. It makes no logical sense.

For America to move to the next stage of non-racism, this type of vestigial illogic must be firmly repudiated.

There was a period when it became permissible to characterize oneself as "mixed-race" on official forms and such. But it never really took hold in a big way.

Honestly, America needs to rid itself of the need to categorize any of its citizenry at all by race. You can't say, on the one hand, that we are a color-blind society, ... but then, on the other hand, require that citizens specify their race on official forms. If America were to do this, it might make some progress on this point ...

I've experienced discrimination in the form of Affirmative Action. Many years ago I interviewed for a couple of government jobs. On 2 occasions, they hired a minority or "underrepresented" person. Follow-up calls to persons I knew who were involved in the hiring process told me specifically it was due to Affirmative Action. Well that sucked. But I moved on, found other, higher paying work.

You might want to check out Post #199 on my comment regarding PA and who it was directed at. I'll chalk it up as a misunderstanding on your part.

That would be nice, but then there wouldn't be these fun demographics that people can point to and claim "systemic racism" and other such nonsense. Where's the fun in that??

This story is not believable because that would be illegal and you would have a legal case in court. Unless you're saying you would never bring such a case to trial, I wonder why, it's a slam dunk case. I guess if we take what you say at face value, but I've heard other such cases: one guy I knew claimed he applied for welfare online and when he put his race as white he was denied, he went back in again and selected his race as Black and all of a sudden he was approved. When I told him he has a legal case, he disappeared, something I suspect from this "government job" story.

I had a similar experience school, I was placed in a lower level by the teachers despite having good grades. I credit my teachers in the following year for seeing this because my school work was far above everyone else in the class. I realized that to succeed in school, I needed to ignore the teachers because that would just mean a headache. My usual thing was to take the textbooks, do all the assignments (it took about two or three months), then open my binder and hand in whatever they asked for. The thing is, I shouldn't have to do that.

How would you be able to tell if the author sees things clearly or not ?

Why would it not be better to put my faith in my next-door neighbor ?

I think you would need to read the book and determine that yourself. Just like you would need to listen to your neighbor to determined if they are worth putting your faith into.

Read, research and decide. I haven't read his book, but have spent time listening to his discussions on the subject and I fully concur with his thoughts. They are well constructed, thought out and logical. They are based on a totality if facts and historical context.

What facts am I ignoring? You keep claiming that, but haven't listed any.

You're doing what leftists always do. Misrepresent things. Are more more white people killed by police than black people?


Rap, gangsta rap etc is far more popular in black culture than white culture.

When It Comes to Rap Music, Are White Boys Really Doing All the Buying?

Whites are not faced with better choices than blacks. That's nonsense.

I agree with you here. We do need to stop looking at race. What does it matter? Really, who cares how many of them his race it that race there are. I think it ought to be banned from all forms. We should be judging individuals based upon their character solely. And note the number of people as a whole group and not as individual races. We are all Americans and all citizens (if you are here legally as a citizen). We should view each other as neighbors, friends, fellow citizens and not as bqlck Americans, Hispanic Americans, white Americans etc.

I don't doubt that you have run across racist people. I know I have. I have seen white racists and black racists. My wife experienced heavy racism from black people. I know of others who have experienced the same thing.

So should we excoriate and condemn the entire black community for that? How about we teach in black schools how racist they are and how they should apologize for the racism and look in their own hearts to see how racist they really are?

We see now black people who are free to say "whites not allowed." And we see calls to kill white people.

We can come together and say all people are welcome and all people have opportunities to make good decisions and pursue success. There is nothing holding individuals back except individual choices. Can't we agree with that?

Do you think that categorizing people by race started because it was fun ... or because it allowed some people to claim systemic racism ?

There's millions of books that have been written.

What reason is there for me to read this particular one ?

Because you fully concur with his thoughts ???

This might happen when America becomes serious about dealing with its race issue ...
