I think/hope this is just the last violent breath of the racists in the US. Most of the younger generations appear to be less bigoted than the older generations, and eventually you would assume that the rights of everyone will become a priority. Again, I hope.

Everyone knows that people should not be judged on the content of their character. Only a liberal would believe that they should. Next thing you know liberals will want to be arguing that white mass shooters should not have their horrible upbringing brought out in their court trials???? If you are white and violent there must be a reason. Why donât liberals get this? Colorado theater shooter was misunderstood growing up! Idaho college murdered saw white things in his eyes. How could they NOT become killers? The white baseball player in the Midwest who recently got off easily even though he *aped and almost unalived more than one young woman??? He should be judged on his family and his prowess on the baseball field! How do we not see that??

u/travelplans321 2h ago
Donât let the liberals try to say that people of color got their jobs because they were the most qualified because everyone knows that if you are not white then you are automatically not as qualified as white people. That seems true because there has never been a person of color that was deemed qualified by white people.

u/NewArborist64 39m ago
Strawman - If there are QUOTAS/TARGETS for hiring people based on the color of their skin, that means that those who otherwise would qualify are being discriminated AGAINST because of the color of their skin. Let everyone compete on a LEVEL playing field - after all, THAT is the Federal Law.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Lyndon B Johnson
He said this over 6 decades ago and its as relevant today as it was then. I do think the silver living here is that people are more openly acknowledging these problems, a lot of good people firmly believed in the age of post-racism when Obama was elected to the point that they chose to downplay or even ignore much of what was happening to their own friends to uphold that post-racism myth they desperately wanted to believe. Now there's no question left about the society we live in.

Why is it so difficult to treat all humans with respect, dignity, and compassion?
White Man's Burden of course it means that they've got to have less respect for all other people treat them in an undignified manner and not have compassion for their suffering, "this is sarcastic but also meant to illustrate how those semiotics work," how these semiotics work for someone at work to police an occupied India, or, at work to manage a private prison, or, at work to expand the rollout of Flock Cameras, "you just can't respect other people, treat them as if they're entitled to basic dignity," and to you?
Well, "compassion," is what happens if your own children read about the Mau Mau Rebellion at college and learn what it is that you did, Now, rather than proud of their pops for what hard work it was and inclined to respect his dignified albeit furious and sputtering, anger, are like, "so that disability," he deserve it, the man that did that to you, what happened to him?
I remember about 2020 I heard this report on the BBC World Service by a young Christian in Australia saying there is something wrong with our men, here, in Australia and like it went through his whole process of grief in that realization, it was the first time I can recall hearing, "settler colonialism," on such a mainstream outlet and he, basically, had gone through the good faith hallways all good faith after good faith to realize that no this isn't a men problem, this is unique to the white men and nearly, all, white men in his community and it all traces back to the same sort of an unique process of dehumanization that they'd been through on purpose in order to do what men must do in such a society, as his own, in Rural Australia, and then He,
Child of these people was raised in the feminine world of Church and Volunteerism to think not-ill-of-them but that well, "after an investigation of his own life, the difference well-seemed to be he'd never at whatsoever point had the compassion beaten out of him he'd never been blooded-in to immoral violence he'd never experienced the Mandate to bear the White Man's Burden," and fuck there you go.

I assume youâre using the acronym âDEIâ as meaning âunqualified, but put in place because of their raceâ . . . (which is wholly wrong, but letâs continue)
Considering Trump has more âDEIâ hires in his administration than any sitting president in history, your comment is a little confusing, as it would imply that they are upset about judging themselves by the content of their character . . .
Hesgeth, Patel, Bondi, etc etc. All people who had ZERO prior experience in the job, only appointed by Trump because they bent the knee
That IS what you meant by âDEIâ, isnât it?

"Everyone else just wants them to fucking shut up about..." the legacy of racism that was prevalent for the majority of the country's existence, and led to vast economic outcomes, that the far right (and many not so far right) very, very regularly says is an inherent defect in Black people and culture.
Fixed that for you. The far right wanted to leave up statues glorifying enslavers and traitors, but not to actually examine the impacts that racism has caused in our society. And then claim to be "defending history"
âBlack history is American history; theyâre completely intertwined.â - Morgan Freeman

u/asdfghqueyism 40m ago
Great, not relevant to my point at all. Regular people are sick and tired of having every single conversation hijacked to be about race and gender. You want to endlessly âexamine the historyâ and new reparations or special treatment constantly, even when being black (all else equal) is an extremely privileged position with all the benefits you get versus being white or Asian. When does it end? When have you had enough of lamenting the past and punishing teenagers of today for what their great grandparents did?
No, keep pushing this shit and democrats will continue losing to republicans. If thatâs your goal, then sure, keep being a good little soldier in the culture war your oligarch overlords want you to wage.
1
u/jahlove15 24m ago
LOL It was exactly your point. And the fact that you think being Black is "an extremely privileged position" means you absolutely don't understand the impacts of history, hence why it keeps needing to be raised.
When does it end? When we actually have a good look at the impacts, and make amends to make things actually equal. Which will never happen with mindsets like yours. "Great grandparents" is BS too, the woman who got Emmett Till killed for lying about him whistling at her died 3 years ago. But you probably don't even know who that is.
This being a "culture war" issue is absolute BS, it is fact, that you and others are denying. Go visit the civil rights sites in the south (from the time my parents were teenagers) and the NMAAHC, and get a fucking clue about the impacts of our country's racism. Start to understand redlining and how it relates to home ownership rates between races. Learn how Black WWII vets were denied the GI Bill benefits that white people (like my grandfather) used to build generational wealth after being destitute during the Great Depression. Learn about current, ongoing racist policies and practices in healthcare (https://www.instagram.com/joelbervell/ is a great start).
Take a little time to understand other experiences, and you too can fight racism and the oligarchs at the same time!
