All white people, in addition to other minorities , must band together to help black people.
This thread is guaranteed to be locked, lol. Your statement perfectly encapsulates the statement "the soft bigotry of low expectations" and I really wish people would see it.All white people, in addition to other minorities , must band together to help black people.
How do explain the massive inequality in income, wealth, safety, homicides, sexual assaults, drug addiction between people of color and white people. This is a philosophical dichotomy:
1. It is caused by systemic racism that has benefitted the main tribe in America, mainly the white, male, protestants...
2. It is caused by innate differences in the races...ie...(you are a racist).
People who ignore historical racism, and present white supremacy, but are aware of the inequality between races...must come to conclusion that the inequality is acceptable, and logical and either ordained or natural. It should not surprise people that Americans would believe such things. At the outbreak of the civil war there were over a million slaveholders in the south. The average holder only held three slaves. And that power was taken by force not by introspection or morality. It took another 100 years for segregation to be reexamined. And we are only 70 years passed that. 200 years of slavery, 100 years of segregation and Jim Crow, 70 years of pretending it didn't happen.
I do believe that education about these topics tends to be accusatory, and hypocritical in being understanding of societal influences on people of color but not accepting that white people are also under societal influence when they become bigoted and racist and don't even know it. Corporate america is relatively careful about appearing openly racist, and income inequality between white and black/brown folks is within 20%, mainly because of the degeneration of the white family and the lack of low skilled union jobs. The wealth gap is astronomical, for every $100 saved that a person of color has, a white person has $1000. And this is mostly due to government policies that subsidized white housing in the middle of last century, and purposefully blocked black families from those same neighborhoods. The easy answer to ignore it, which is why so many people do. If you are a christian, who pretends to love other human beings however, that becomes a bit of a pitfall. How do accept that so many people are born in trauma, violence, poverty, while you work your corporate job?

Are you for real???...racism is isolated and doesn’t have an impact on society?? I really am speechless..I am 70 years old and have lived in most all regions in the country and can tell you for a fact that racism is alive and rampant in most areas. But go ahead and follow the narrative that you and your orange haired leader spouts..I feel beyond sorry for you.
Your argument falls apart when you say minorities. It’s black people - hence BLACK Lives Matter. Not Asian, not Latino, not “fill in the blank.How do explain the massive inequality in income, wealth, safety, homicides, sexual assaults, drug addiction between people of color and white people.

You sound like one of those, “if so and so gets elected, I’m leaving the country” - yet they never do. So censor me now and live in your echo chamber. Maybe when the right person gets into office, you can send me and others on here to re-education camps, like other countries that implement censorship over freedom of speech.No I really want them to out themselves so I never have to read their posts again.
rich white people living together never notice racism. how would a white person on a white farm or in a white suburb notice racism? Trump has never seen racism because he is rich and lives with other rich white people. if you want to know what you DONT KNOW then go spend time where you dont normally spend time. Go experience what others experience and you will grow your brain. unfortunately nobody wants to do this. and until we do we will continue to be ignorant privileged white people who can't see what's wrong because its on the other side of town
Who do you consider white people?I feel like this is well said. This guy is really smart and thoughtful
Ex-NBA player John Amaechi explains White privilege as 'the absence of inconvenience'
White privilege is undoubtedly a touchy subject for most people but former NBA center John Amaechi articulately explained what the phrase meant to him in a video on Wednesday.www.foxnews.com
“Privilege is a hard concept for people to understand because normally when we talk of privilege, we think of immediate, unearned riches and tangible benefits for anyone who has it,” he said. “But White privilege – and indeed, all privilege – is about the absence of inconvenience, the absence of an impediment or challenge. As such when you have it, you really don’t notice it. But when it’s absent, it affects everything you do.”
He would have much more valuable experience than what I'm assuming 99% of those denying racism have - - meaningful day to day shared experiences with actual black people. Claiming that the world wide discussion and emphasis on racial disparities created by the BLM movement is unrelated to College Football is also incorrect. Literally the largest social movement of the last 50 years. Or have you forgotten about peaceful marchers in literally every state in the country, and even around the globe. From my experience, those whining loudly about pro athletes, actors, or musicians using their platform to give their views on social issues always means, I don't like them to talk about issues in a way that I don't agree with. For every Susan Sarandon, there is a James Wood. For every LeBron James, there is a Curt Schilling. For every Springsteen, and Toby Keith. Looks to me like a lot of you clowns need to take his words to heart. Hi, I live in rural Nebraska, and I can confidently say racism no longer exists. LOL.Well I guess since he put it out there, he's open to criticism from it.. I personally don't think he has enough experience to know what he is trying to talk about, and would prefer he doesn't use his position on the football team as a platform for unrelated social issues.
affirmative action says helloI feel like this is well said. This guy is really smart and thoughtful

Victimhood and virtue signalers are the only 2 types who cry about racism.rich white people living together never notice racism. how would a white person on a white farm or in a white suburb notice racism?

You claim white people have benefitted - but they have been surpassed by Asian Americans and Indian Americans. With your logic, those minority groups must have a systemic advantage. Guess what - they do. They follow a successful roadmap that has been implemented by successful people for generations.
Do you know who the fastest growing demographic is for increased poverty? White people. Why? Are they all of a sudden the victims of racism? No, they are embracing the same bad roadmap that too many black people have followed for years.
feminism also contributed to the messIs it a roadmap, or a lie that has been perpetuated and a complete failure of leadership throughout the Country.
Single parent household = massive increase in % of poverty and likeliness of kid, generally speaking, getting involved in crime. It happens to both black and white. But pitting black vs. white sure is helpful to a certain group of people.

Or the Jewish population. Both rose to the topSo are we completely ignoring the Asian population in the US? I know it completely pokes holes in the “white privilege” mantra.
One in the same. The roadmap that other minority groups have followed is one that states that you get married first, then have a kid after you determine you are mature enough mentally and financially to do it. The black community has abandoned this and the result is a national special olympics movement.Is it a roadmap, or a lie that has been perpetuated and a complete failure of leadership throughout the Country.

It has a lot to do with money and there is plenty of research to bear that out. Having both parents involved is also a huge advantage statistically.You know what the biggest privilege is? Being born into a loving family preferrably with 2 loving parents there to care for and nurture you. It has little to do with money. Decades of the policies advanced by the likes of Pelosi and Biden have destroyed the family structure of black AND white families.
How did Asian Americans become the richest demographic? How did Indian Americans achieve a strong #2 position? Are they counted as white?It has a lot to do with money and there is plenty of research to bear that out. Having both parents involved is also a huge advantage statistically.
You didn’t answer my question earlier on who was considered white people when referring to white privilege. I will assume anybody who is not black, as this article only focuses on Black people, as all narratives suggest this demographic has the biggest challenge making it in America.Something as small as zip codes can be a benefit or hindrance https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/america-inequality-begins-womb
How does a kid be born into a house with more money? You said it, having both parents involved and participating in that child’s life.It has a lot to do with money and there is plenty of research to bear that out. Having both parents involved is also a huge advantage statistically.
It is interesting that much of the sentiment here is that if those with a few more obstacles in their path just work harder and give a big tug on the boot straps they will have success
but by god having to play Ohio st and Penn st in the same season is a bridge too far
Imagine comparing football season schedules with sjw ideals. 🤡
FIFYimagine being more concerned about perceived inequalities in a football schedule than IMAGINARY social and racial inequalities.

I challenge all of those white folks that feel they have only achieved the successes they achieved, because they are white, to find themselves an impoverished African American single parent family and donate half of their monthly income, each month, to that black family. That way you can feel better about yourself, you are putting your money where your mouth is and we can see if money is the issue or if it is something else entirely.
LeBron James has done more for his community than you have, by an order of magnitude you likely aren't capable of calculating. What lies? You have legitimate points of discussion that racism doesn't exist? When someone says something factual (rural Nebraskan's don't have much, IF ANY, interaction with people of color), it isn't a low blow or "a shot". It's called reality.Do you need to lie to try to feel like you won an argument, or are you incapable of having a legitimate discussion on an issue? Are you doing the ol Kamala Harris “it was a debate” rationale to justify your lie? Who has said racism doesn’t exist? There are a few of you on here that seemingly cannot process the information. It’s very un-ordained minister like. And I must say, the taking a shot at rural Nebraskans is an especially intelligent and loving act.
Lebron James, the guy who, when talking about cops, said
“Or maybe he just left the house saying that today is going to be the end for one of these Black people.”
That Lebron James? Who suggests cops leave their house determined to kill a black person? What a great platform to spew that hate-filled total bullsh!t. I will always, always route against that d!psh!t.

That is great that he does things for his community. That doesn't make the comments about cops leaving their house looking to kill a black man any less irresponsible.
