Smithsonian: You Are Racist If...

[Mountain Man]

Then they should have devalued white and blacks equally. If this was not done, it was inexcusable racism.

It was called "The 3/5ths Compromise" for a reason. It was a compromise, not an ideal solution.

[Mountain Man]

And whether you realize it or not, the fact you are white has made you getting to where you are easier than if you had been born black, all other things being equal.

Wow... so blacks are less able to succeed than whites even when given equal opportunities. Do you really believe this?

[shunyadragon]

No, their racism has been exposed...

Your radical support of slave owning racism has been exposed by your selective citation to justify your racism agenda and your choice of 'personal' photo worshiping Robert E Lee, the one who lead the Army of Northern Virginia to justify rebellion against the United States leading to the death of hundreds of thousands base don the support of the institution of slavery in the name of states rights.

Please at least try to stop being an idiot. Things equal refers to basic capabilities of the individuals. A black man statistically grows up disadvantaged relative to a white person because the culture itself makes it easier for a white person to succeed than for a black person to succeed.

On average, a black person is NOT given the same opportunities as a white person.

How in the world do you go from 'it was likely easier for you if you are white' to 'whites are superior'? I'm talking about priviledge, circumstances outside the person, not who they are internally.

Your accusations are equally absurd. I believe we are all equal. That means that - on average - the reasons for the statistical disparity are external to the individuals themselves, not related (as a group) to their physical characteristics or mental capacity.

I know you claim it's privilege, but I gave an example of where that's simply not true, in fact, just the opposite. Minorities have tons of privilege that whites don't have; everything from college, housing, loans, jobs, etc... the list goes on. I don't think you're dumb. I think you know whites don't have special privilege, you're just using it as a crutch for your racist views about blacks. I believe that's what a lot of liberals do. They view blacks as helpless and incapable of doing things without assistance, and that's a clear reflection of their racist tendencies. Liberals twist that view into white privilege because it's less ugly and easier for them to swallow. I believe you said you were raised in a very racist household, correct? I'm not saying you're an open racist, it may be deeply rooted in you; on a subconscious level. That's why you're so incessant about it and quick to accuse others (including me) of being racists. That's called projection.

I remember the topic of white privilege coming up in our first interaction on here. Do you still not know what that term refers to?

If white privilege wasn't a thing then this joke by Chris Rock wouldn't make any sense (link contains blue language).

It won't be funny if I explain the joke for those who don't click but it amounts to no white man would be willing to change places with him even though he's rich.

That's just bizarre.

I have never seen a person so hateful of another as to be willing to cast the good motives and efforts of another as themselves the very same evil they have tried to counter their entire life ...


Until today.

[seanD]

That's just bizarre.

Which part?

[oxmixmudd]

Which part?

All of it. As I just added.

[seanD]

All of it. As I just added.

If you saw a preacher incessantly raving about sexual sin day after day and accusing everyone of doing it, wouldn't your first inclination be that he's probably projecting? And am I right you were raised in a racist household? I thought you had said that earlier.

[seanD]

That's just bizarre.

Though my intent is not hate towards you, you do the same thing to Christians. I mean you're downright nasty. I have never in my life or at least since I've been here in 2008 ever once heard another Christian bash Christians the way you do. I've definitely heard that vindictiveness from atheists, but never another Christian. But that's off topic.

I'm actually being truthful about my view of liberals and why they incessantly dwell on racism and accuse others of it so readily, and you're such a perfect example of it. I know you think I'm being hateful to you, but this is a serious subject to me. The bizarre chart on that website just solidifies my belief about this.

Could there possibly be other reasons to use a picture of Lee? Like because he was a great warrior, or to trigger idiots like you?

White privilege is broad brushing. Obama's daughters have way more privilege than my grand kids could ever dream of. And if your race is 70-80% of the population of course they will generally be in better positions financially or other wise. You will find black privilege in Africa, Semitic privilege in the Middle East, yellow privilege in China or Asia, Brown privilege in Mexico. People are tribal and generally feel more comfortable dealing with their own kind.

Broad brush yes, but a correct broad brush.

It recognizes the general statistical situation in America. It is not talking about specific individuals but rather the average situation across the country.

Do you realize you are implying that it's ok, the norm, not something harmful to be changed but something that must just be accepted?

[oxmixmudd]

Doesn't matter. I could throw up an avatar of ghengis kahm or stahlin or even Hitler and claim the same thing.

The man betrayed the nation and fought for the right to own slaves. It says (at best) you are willing to accept that and still allow him to represent you in some way. At worst it says you admire him, up to and including what he fought for.
