"Anytime a white man talks about hate perpetrated from anyone outside of the white race, this person is immediately demonized. I never said that racism is a lie just that it obviously extends outside of the white race. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, AP, NY Times, Rolling Stones, Facebook, ect.. will never report on the 'knockout game' or cll it for what it is, a HATE crime."
Yes you did say that. You said that racism was an agenda being pushed by the media to start a race war, which is an absurd claim.
I don't think you are actually reading what anyone here is saying. Nobody is pushing for White guilt...in fact I said exactly the opposite. Nobody is denying that Black people do bad things. Yes, sometimes there is Black on White violence--and it is hateful, and it is wrong. Duh.
But it's not racism because racism is backed by laws, institutions, public and social services, and every aspect of governance. Racism only flows in one direction. Racism isn't something that can be defined by individual acts. You don't have to walk into a Church and murder 9 Black people to be a White Supremacist, but that is what the media wants you to believe. Racism is much bigger and more nuanced than that. The difference here is a balance of power. Look at who actually holds power in our society. Look at how Black people are portrayed, look at what is expected of us, look at the rates of poverty, look at the availability of social services, look at where public education is cut, look at the neighborhoods that the Police patrol, look at who is filling the prisons, look at who is running the prisons, look at the availability of mental health services, look at job opportunities. The answers that you want are there, you just need to take the effort to open your eyes and look. Stop making assumptions that you have no evidence for, that you clearly have not looked into for yourself.
You aren't getting the answer that you want to hear and so you're claiming that we're intolerant and racist. White people do that all the time and it's beyond frustrating. It's dismissive and patronizing. The people here are intelligent and powerful, many are well educated and we have all lived our lives as Black people in the 21st century. We know what racism looks like because we have lived it. Your actions are insulting. There's nothing wrong with questions but you don't waltz into a space designated for Black people and demand an answer that you've already decided on...that's wrong. Shame on you.
Anyways...I said I wont feed the troll anymore so I should stick to my word. All done here.
