How Demonizing "Whiteness" Spreads White Nationalism

Post Reply New Topic

It's generally much more fun and limbicly gratifying to not follow the plot. In that sense I'm not surprised that people do this, in fact I'm more surprised when most people in a thread choose to pay attention and follow along to the best of their ability.

I take back what I said earlier. White male heterosexual Christian privilage is VERY real.

The current generation is now far removed from the history that created the social divisions that release these tensions leading to flashpoints like Charlottesville.

On the one hand minority groups are highly sensitive and over-reacting to anything done to a black person. Take for example Md Noor the black Minneapolis cop who shot dead a white woman and was given 12.5 yrs jail. A lot of black Americans are protesting to release Noor yet Noor's crime is a classic reversal or roles and really the protestors should be sympathetic to the victim as the circumstances under which she died is exactly what the BLM movement has been protesting about for some years (yet there is no solidarity or empathy for the victim's family). The issue is blurred by race.

White people can't remember what it was like for blacks in the 1960s and are unable to fathom (and frankly care) for the social obstacles faced by blacks trying to break through the glass ceilings to get equal parity. This happens in Australia as well where our left leaning "labor party" (the democrat equivalent) is often accused of protecting minority rights at the expense of the majority.

White privilege exists but I think it's too complicated and not relevant to white voters who are more concerned over putting bread on the table and paying of debts. Coupled with unconcious bias I think we have a long way to go...

That’s why I think it’s beneficial to have friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.

My first boyfriend was black. We lived in a town with a lot of racial tension, so we talked about this sort of stuff a lot - frequently, in a very unPC fashion.

It just made me much more aware of certain things than I had been before.

I knew what it was like for black people in the 1960s. I was alive then.

Yeah my wife is south Asian but she's a lot more philosophical about this stuff than I am.

Monday Blue's commentary on the OP video:

Were you black then, too?

I knew what it was like----because they told me what it was like. And I saw what it was like.

You'll have to accept that. And if you don't...then so be it!

Personally, i think that Bush explained at one of his Elite Charity Dinners the main two categories of class or segregation.
In his own words "The haves and the have not's"

Perhaps the rest of the categories are just the poor folk trying to work out who to blame for their suffering, and in some cases, problem solving among some well meaning socio-political economists who are attempting to cure the world of its ills.

The problem is, the world is very complex, with billions of individuals all alive and working towards various aims.
At this point in time, it is hard to manage the world.

Perhaps a possible future with the advent of new technology will allow for the world to eventually be connected, and for some form of agreement be made among all people. Who knows.

Personally, i think that if the human race eventually got organised, and say for example in the future, started to populate different planets.

People could then choose to live on a world that is sympathetic to their political view.
And hopefully not cause a wars between worlds.

The video was short and not so sweet.

Collective guilt of "whiteness"?
Charming.
Society seems to be regressing.

Could the stupid people of the world stop procreating for a second?
Dumb question.
Reproducing is what stupid people do best.

It is a normal human response to push back when one is pushed.
There are times where it is reasonable and times when it is not.

You've got to know when to hold them,
Know when to fold them,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run...

I can't resist.
I'm gunna re-tube the song.
It's a bloody good one.

Surely this was a typo of coffee?
