Manul 7,377 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 It's some transcended level of stupidity to say "white people can't experience racism" or "black people can't be racist", I truly feel sympathy for people that have to be around y'all. it wasn't laaaahv Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like.....maybe that white person genuinely just thinks you're stupid, regardless of your skin pigment. And if what you say is true, why do I know so many black and hispanic people who don't subscribe to that logic and tend to be more successful then a majority of their peers? I don't think that's unique to race issues walking around with any kind of chip on your shoulder will hold you back. POC think that non-POC look at them and they only see a race, but can you blame them? They were most likely raised with race constantly being brought up and that continues throughout their life. It's no wonder race is constantly a forethought in their minds. Of course, that doesn't excuse rudeness or racism towards white people but I think they're entitled to some level of understanding and patience The girl in the first video is describing an unfortunate extreme on the other side of the issue Some people have it in their minds that white people should suffer the same way that POC do but in a more blatant way and I couldn't disagree with that more. They've become so focused on a warped sense of quality that they're pulling down others (and this is where ideas like "white privilege" come in). It implies that the struggles minorities face are normal and should be faced by everyone but that's completely wrong I don't see why we can't all just try to lift each other up but that's humanity for you I guess Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say 'all white people are white supremacist', you're being racist... When you say 'white people shouldn't be allowed to speak' you're being racist... Saying that you can never express an opinion or state a fact about an event that you never took part in is especially ridiculous... The vast majority of black people nowadays have never experienced slavery - does that mean they can never talk about it? When you talk about how horrible holocaust was, unless you're a survivor, you're not speaking from experience - does that mean you should not be allowed to express that opinion? If you're a neurologist and you're researching clinical depression but you have never experienced it, does that mean you can never speak of your perception of it? I could go on and on with similar examples... Thank god there is someone with some sense around here Hands up to the sky, I'm about to fly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like white people have no right to complain about anything, ever. It's so ridiculous that the moment a white person is treated unfairly in any situation and they raise their voice about it, we have people here who will make a mockery of the white person and make fun of them for sticking up for themselves.

MichealScott 753 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 It is kind of true because people of any other color than white can have a better chance of getting into their college choice because most colleges are going through a cultural diversity movement so they want more non whites in their schools making it harder to get into schools for whites who deserve to go to those schools just as must as any other race it is infuriating that if your white you can't always voice your opinion on these matters because your immediately viewed as a racist even tho most of the time what you are saying is not or has nothing to do with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
