Prometheus 1,494 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe, one day...but it is highly unlikely something you will have to worry about in your lifetime. (not in the US) True. It's easy to assume thing will always be how they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I am not speaking numerically. Again, I understand what a minority and majority mean in terms of social justice and privilege. I am saying that since white people are increasingly put in the spotlight as the privileged class (and often hated for it [see squeela as an example of feminism gone wrong and becoming misandry]) things will change. Just as Rome fell, so will white people. In America, it's not so much that whites are privileged as blacks as disadvantaged. 50% of Asians voted Republican last week. Asians and many Latinos could easily assimilate into a mainstream coalition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asians and many Latinos could easily assimilate into a mainstream coalition. White people do have privilege. They have done studies where a resume had a name like "John Smith" and another resume had a name like "Tyrone Baskin." Which one was hired? The one with the more "white" sounding name. Even though both resumes had the same work history, strengths, etc. Imagine you have a class composed of white children and black children. Now, imagine the teacher placing the black children at the very back of the classroom where it is hard to hear and the white children are placed at the very front. The black children are given broken pens and the white children are given mechanical pencils and paper. This, of course, it exaggerated because not all black people are born into disadvantaged homes, just like not all white people are born into privileged homes. However, the system does favor white people over black people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeala 875 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 1. Some men are, but it's misandrist to think all men are. 2. Yes they did. They saw Jews as privileged and powerful (and racially inferior at the same time). 3. No, the point is men or whites can be oppressed in their particular case, despite being part of a group better off as a whole. There is no patriarchy when women are 51% of the population and can outvote men and do any job a man can, and when most men feel more solidarity with their wives and daughters and mothers than with males as a class.1. I said all men are SOCIALISED this way. Each individual reacts differently to socialisation, but all men - myself included - are misogynists due being born with a penis and raised in a male supremacist culture.2. Show me the evidence of Germans believing that Jews were an oppressor class - i.e. believing that Jews used violence to obtain and maintain positions of power and privilege over non-Jews?3. Again, you need to look up the sociological definition of oppression. No one is "oppressed in their particular case", that makes no sense. Oppression is a phenomenon occurring between social classes.

craig 680 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 1. I think society tries to socialize men away from being "nasty and violent and uncaring." That's why Eminem and macho rap is generally seen as a bad influences. 2. If you read a summary of Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Mein Kampf, or look at anti-Jewish cartoons where they are portrayed as rich with moneybags, or even see current anti-Semites accusing them of controlling the media and US foreign policy, you will understand that most haters see Jews as rich and cunning and powerful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion 3. Doesn't matter who is on top overall sociologically - in a particular family, school, workplace, or crime scene, it is possible for oppressor-victim roles to cut the opposite way.

Haus 152 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 White people won't always be the majority. They ARE the majority NOW. That's all that matters. And if you knew anything about sociology, you'd know that numerical majority does not mean they are the powerful majority. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH MY GOODNESS I KNOW NUMERICAL MAJORITY DOES NOT MEAN POWERFUL MAJORITY FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME. I am saying that white people are under scrutiny for their privilege and it will grow. Dear God. You think white people are truly that powerful? Every empire falls. Every. Single. One. Damn it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeSUS, do you even know what we're talking about? Of course centuries from now racial dynamics will change. There will be an exponentially larger amount of mixed raced people. But I'm not talking about the future. I'm talking about right ****ing now. I suggest you watch this video to understand what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgaOK74HqiA White men are the face of America, no matter how much we like to call ourselves a melting pot. I am by NO means saying that any race or gender is superior to another, but that is just how our current society operates. Whenever racism is discussed, it's always about the minority groups because THEY are the repressed ones. White privilege is real. The worst thing a minority member can call a white person is a "cracker", which do you think that would offend the white person? No. Because they are white.
