If ANYONE wants respect, then they should just respect another person, it is common sense. It just seems like a curious phrase that tends to pop up in these sort of situations. I think it implies more than maybe you even realise. It just comes across as "These black people don't want us to be racist towards them but here they all are calling people names! I'm not going to respect black people if that's how they treat us!". I'm not at all saying that this was your intention it's just that this sort of rhetoric seems to come up a lot in discussions of race. There is this sense that black people don't deserve respect for X,Y,Z. It reads sort of like you recognise that the black community (through organisations Black Lives Matter or through controversies like The Oscars and more) are asking to be respected as human beings but that they don't deserve this respect because they riot, or there is gang violence or (in this case) they are calling white people crackers etc. I'm not even trying to call you out or accuse you or anything, I'm just making you aware that that sort of language is used to dehumanise POC. There is this pervasive ideology of "these black people want respect, but they don't deserve it". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's so pathetic Seriously if white people did that everyone would be like "omg that's disgusting".. Now nobody cares. Why is that? (Btw obviously my statement is not for everyone ,but most of them are really like that) "Is it just me or Beyonce's fans are racist af?" "Btw obviously my statement is not for everyone ,but most of them are really like that" If you understand that you can say something like that without actually generalizing, why are you offended?

But a very large number of her fans really are rude as ****. Like do you not see them on atrl or twitter? And they're not a race... It's not the same thing saying "Beyonce fans" and "black/white/whatever people". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try "I hate black people", that would be "RACISMÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They think you can't be racist towards white people, they think "cracker", "mayo" etc is OK. " We've been struggling decades ago, you don't know **** white trash" oh bless them. Please. After all the **** black people have to put up with from ignorant, white bigots, the LEAST they can do is call them a cracker. As if the white person would give a damn anyway. The dynamics are completely different. A white person is not going to be traumatized and humiliated because some black person called them a cracker, but if a white person calls a black person a "******," the impact and history behind that word is far more intense. Its just how it is. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right..... Because white people are NEVER racist in 2016.... Oh no... Black people are just treated so amazingly and equally, and white people these days are just so accepting and loving of black people right? Racism stopped in the 1800s, right? Okay.

edgy 6,918 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sorry hunnies, but black people can't be racist. They can be prejudious against white people, but they can't be racist since racism has to be backed by an instutionalized power structure like the government (hence why it's a -ism). Racism = prejudice + power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 The comments are just as bad as saying 'black people suck'. You cannot simply condem an entire race, regardless of colour. Regardless if 'whites deserve it' or 'blacks need to stop'. It's not okay to say these things regardless of if you've suffered in the past or privileged now. I've read so many people defending these comments in the OP and it's ridiculous, they are wrong whichever way you look at it. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
