stepee Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 What do you think? Is it just the same being racist towards someone because they are white as it is of any other race or is it different because of the place whites have in American society?

skillzdadirecta Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 You can be prejuduced and bigoted against white people... racist is a different story. White people(Particularly white men) dominate American society and are pretty unaffected by what women and minorities think except in very specific instances. That why this whole white greviance thing on The Right is complete and utter bullshit. There is no systemic Racisim against white people.

That's the KEY difference - it's the institutionalization/systemization of prejudice/bigotry that forms the key elements of "racism". Without those elements, then it's not "racism".

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Yes. It’s more of an issue in other countries, like in parts of Asia and the Middle East, than it is in the continental United States. The “thing” is how we, white people, should or even can socially acknowledge it. The term “check your privilege” comes to mind. I’m not saying they’re entitled to be racist towards whites. But I can always walk away from it and easily find equity in my favor. That is not always the case in many areas of the country for other races. Maybe it’s “white guilt” that would compel me to keep my mouth shut. But then it feels like the least I can do is not antagonize them and act like I have not been and am not privileged. That we are somehow the same in our right to grievance. I have never felt negatively impacted systemically because of my race, gender, or sexual orientation. I doubt I was ever denied an interview because of my name, because it sounded too “ethnic” or “urban”. I have probably had opportunities because of race and gender.

I used to say things like, “your family is from Brazil, they get it” and just name different Latin American countries. He’d huff and say “No, from Equador!” Im not sure he ever found it as funny as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The first time I can recall seeing somebody say or do something racist was by my Black aunt towards my white mother. 14 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: That's the KEY difference - it's the institutionalization/systemization of prejudice/bigotry that forms the key elements of "racism".

This is a completely modern construct to get around the fact that people are racist towards the dominate group. It’s a hall pass for bad behavior. There is both interpersonal racism and systemic racism. Who said it was "A hall pass for bad behavior to the dominant group"? Bigotry and Prejudicial behavior are just as bad as racism on a personal level. If a black person kills a bunch of white people ( or Asian people) simply because of their race, that's JUST as bad as as a white person doing the same. The difference in what I;m talking about is that in this society, a system has been put in place to benefit ONE group of a certain race and gender at the expense of other groups. Racism (in the context that we're talking about) is about POWER. You black Aunt was definitely bigoted and prejudiced against your white mother, but in the grand scheme of things, there's very little that your black Aunt can do or say in THIS society that would have an impact on your white mother's life in any tangible way. On the other hand, potentially, your white mother could very well ruin your aunt;s life with one phone call. That's the power of systemic racism in this socitey. If everything was equal, then you'd be right. But things AREN'T equal and we see evidence of that every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
