I, Racist

[Esaias]

From the article:

"To understand, you have to know that Black people think in terms of Black people. We don’t see a shooting of an innocent Black child in another state as something separate from us because we know viscerally that it could be our child, our parent, or us, that is shot."

Suppose a person said "You need to understand that white people think in terms of white people."

Wouldn't be a statement in proof of "inherent racism of whites"?

Is it not then a statement of inherent racism of blacks?

[Esaias]

"Racism is not slavery. As President Obama said, it’s not avoiding the use of the word Nigger. Racism is not white water fountains and the back of the bus. Martin Luther King did not end racism. Racism is a cop severing the spine of an innocent man. It is a 12 year old child being shot for playing with a toy gun in a state where it is legal to openly carry firearms."

So if racism is evidenced by black people being killed by police, then whites are the victims of racism, since twice as many white people are killed by cops as black people.

"But here is the irony, here’s the thing that all the angry Black people know, and no calmly debating White people want to admit: The entire discussion of race in America centers around the protection of White feelings."

Actually, what people don't want to admit is that MANY black people want to be catered to, and the entire discussion of race in America centers around how to get one over on Whitey.

And, that goes for just about every racial group in America, including white people, who feel the need to have one gotten over on them to assuage their "collective white guilt".

Whining about not being viewed as an individual but as a " member of the black race" rings hollow when most blacks do just that to each other, and when they view other races the same way.

Complaining about white flight being racist is stupid when tons of blacks would like to flee the urban ghettoes as well due to crime and poverty and squalor.

Every white person knows there are certain areas they don't go to or drive through after dark. Those areas happen to be mostly black or Hispanic.

How many mostly white areas do blacks avoid after dark (other than extremely rural, backwoods or swampy areas)?

The black community has a lot of issues, and "white privilege" ain't one of them.

"What follows is the text of a “sermon” that I gave as a “congregational reflection” to an all White audience at the Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ on Sunday, June 28th."

Fascinating considering the language used in the "sermon" at a "church".

I wonder how many white churches have sermons about their struggles against black people? Other than the ones run by feds up in Idaho, that is?

[Esaias]

One final point. The author claims that serial killers are mostly white.

"Myth #2: All Serial Killers Are Caucasian.
Reality: Contrary to popular mythology, not all serial killers are white. Serial killers span all racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. The racial diversity of serial killers generally mirrors that of the overall U.S. population. There are well documented cases of African-American, Latino and Asian-American serial killers. African-Americans comprise the largest racial minority group among serial killers, representing approximately 20 percent of the total. Significantly, however, only white, and normally male, serial killers such as Ted Bundy become popular culture icons."

"And what if we go all the way back to 1982? We then have 66 mass killings in which the races of the perpetrators were known, and 22 of them, or one-third, were at the hands of non-whites. Note here that America’s demographics have been changing, with non-whites comprising only about 20 percent of the population in 1982; thus, if we consider an approximate average non-white population of 28.5 percent during the 31-year period in question, it appears that, again, mass murderers are slightly disproportionately non-white.

In other words, there is no evidence whatsoever that mass killings are a characteristically white phenomenon.

And there never was.

In fact, the group most disproportionately represented on the Mother Jones chart is Americans of Asian descent. While only 6 percent of the population, they have been 15 percent of the 31-year period’s last 20 mass killers, 13 percent of the last 30, and 9 percent of the last 66. This is quite interesting, too, since Americans of Asian descent have a very low crime rate in general.

So in light of this, why are whites implicated in mass killings? The answer is one word:

Prejudice."

What is white privilege and how do I get some?

That black man that had his spine severed....the cops involved were not all white. Two were black

That kid? If was pointing the gun AT people. Mind you, the cop rolling up that close to the kid was a huge mistake. They should have been able to get behind their car and order him to drop it

I was driving with a black friend. A cop pulled me over and I blurted out "Why is he pulling me over?"...without skipping a beat, my friend said seriously "Because Im black"

The cop pulled me over for expired tags. He didn't question my friend or ask for ID.

My friend ASSUMED it was because he was black

I was at a restaurant. I got there just before closing. After a few min they locked the doors. Several min later a black man tried to get in, but he could not. They said "We are closed". He said "but I see others eating. Is it because I am black?"

It really was closed. He assumed it was because he is black

Right now I am watching a video from the convention highlighting all the wonderful things Trump did for New York City. Sadly, I'm sure most Democrat voters view this as a minus, a result of "white privilege" instead of a hard working man with a dream. What made America great is now viewed by the Democrats as something that needs to be abolished.
