    If a white person does it they'll be accused of trying to be a white savior, or of suffering from white guilt. You cant win here.
    HF is just not the kind of place where you can have a thoughtful, intelligent discussion on race

    Sometimes the truth is hard to hear

    White people, black people, red people, yellow people, privileged or unprivileged are racists if they're prejudiced against others because of their race.

    But we might have done if Trump hadn't buggered up the enquiry into his countless misdeeds. and allowed witnesses to be called and disclosure of all the written evidence. to the trial too.

    Jorge L Ortiz of USA Today has just published an article (2/14/2020) and it is about the way racism has made its way into mainstream American society, thanks to Trump & FOX & The Republican Party. Yes Sir! And I see it everyday here in the Midwest.
     
  9. It's not THE issue is what I've said, not that it's no issue at all. I happen to think it's a minor issue that is being whipped up artificially. Which is why I only take it seriously when I run into a genuine source of it. Not some comments in a forum about it.

    For all I know Hip Forums is a garage operation with only 7 members and the rest are AI creations of various mentalities. You may not even be real!
     
  10. You'll have to ask them, all. Assuming such, is racism.

    Good question. Where have I ever denied that racism exists against non whites?

    The problem is that the collectivist left seems to believe that the only way to atone for racism of the past, is to practice it in the other direction in the present.

    And the white guilt of hip forums makes it evident.

    Besides If white privilege exists the way leftists like to lie about. How come we never see non-whites pretending to be white to get ahead?

    We have the Liz Warrens & Sean Kings of the world putting on red and black face to cheat and advance their way in life. Yet we never see it the other way around.

    I don't agree that it's "practiced" in the other direction. Of course you don't remember what it was like, but talk about disadvantaged... Those people did not have the luxury of the law on their side. The segregation, and all of that Jim Crow (I'm not exactly sure what all of it would be...) stuff, both Civil Rights Acts
    &
    , all of that is part of the history you're referring to I think.

    But those laws, though passed, didn't sway public perception. Sure, there were new laws to say who you could "prefer" for your positions at your business; everyone is equal after all and should be considered, to quote: not by the color of their skin but for the content of their character, more or less. But that didn't mean diddly squat to many many families who would likely go home for the day and rant.

    I feel like we still suffer from the same racism, though several generations removed. It's engrained in our lives. We must make a conscious effort to combat it.

    I know there's a lot of 'toning down' of urban kids. We see it in Hollywood representations of like inner schools. They get a teacher to go into the hardest neighborhood or something and the kids have to control their behavior. Maybe that's not exactly what you mean. I think though that conformity is somewhat problematic in this case. Whiteness isn't the real answer to trying to get ahead.

    There are plenty of civilized people of color in the world, 6.
