Don't take my word for it, I'm white.

Yes let's wipe out the white people! Asians are more attractive anyway.

Funny how one of the only good things to come mass communications (instant dissemination of information to everyone) is probably inconveniencing white people the most.

Surprise surprise when you can't leverage the bureaucracy and the society that upholds it that implicitly sees white as right, because cameras are everywhere, people get brave and aren't afraid to express the racism they always had in their hearts.

Like we really think that white racism didn't exist before?

Rucka Rucka Ali - I Can Do Whatever I'm White

"(whiteness = racism)"

My father was a quarter Black and I am 83% European.

Obama's mother was white, I am sure he does not think she was racist.

Many people think race is a social construct but I don't.

There might not be a definitive classification but I took a DNA test and it told me what I am.

A MENA kid said the holocaust was done by whites and this is proof whites are the most racist. He said you can't be racist to whites. He said Jews were not even white mixed. He said he dislikes Indians from India.

This will just increase as the West shifts right. Authoritarian.

I don't like that people say we should in the US become a monarchy.

I don't like white supremacists. But I don't like Black supremacists.

MENA/India look white to me, especially from Turkey/Greece.

MENA/India people have the caucasian skull structure. There are at least 5 distinct skull structures around the world.

I have 88% more neanderthal genes than other Europeans. humans and Neanderthals were separated for a million years yet they could still breed with each other.

There might be no reason to call something a race but just ethnicities now.

How we define things has become very blurry.

It's not complicated, it's actually very simple.
People are people.

That's it, it doesn't matter how dark someone's skin is or what shape nose they have or where they were born or who their parents are or what accent they speak with, people are people and everybody deserves to be treated with dignity.

Cancel culture comes for everyone, the woke narrative is an ouroboros eating its own tail, people like the guy in the video above you're going to be seeing more of them because its low hanging fruit, the more double blatant the double standards the easier it is to call them out and people will build careers on doing exactly that.

I think the left makes a mistake when they define racism differently from others. Just make a new term!

Racism against whites is possible just like sexism against men is possible. It's useful to think in terms of power dynamics, but not to assume that power dynamics are universal and shape your language around that assumption. This is especially the case when these dynamics shift over time, as is being seen with gender.

I think that it's fair to say discrimination against the majority power is less bad than against the minority. But races are not monoliths. A poor white can have less privilege than a rich black. Less bad is a far cry from good.

Globally whites are a minority, predominantly white nations are the minority, there are many parts of the world where being white attracts the attention of people who would do you harm. So what you're saying is that specifically in nations with a white majority it is "less bad" to discriminate against against white people?

But why stop there why not distinguish between predominantly white and non-white neighborhoods, is it "less bad" to discriminate against a race depending upon the predominant color of the neighborhood? What not take it further, is it less bad to discriminate against say an Asian person in a room predominantly occupied by Asian people?

Nah that's a bit impractical isn't it? The further down in scale you go the sillier it gets.

Well alright how about we go up in scale and measure "less bad" by the predominant race present on each continent, or better yet the entire world, oh wait that would make white people a minority group everywhere all the time... well at least its consistent.

Personally though I think its just bad, no more or less bad depending on context it's just bad, just as people are just people, and that's it, that's all there is to it.

They make good scapegoats.

As Nietzsche pointed out, Western values include looking after the poor and the helpless, which gives a moral self-justification for blaming themselves.

White people abolishing slavery, gives self-evidence that white people did some bad things.

So that gives white people evidence from themselves, and moral values, that they should blame themselves for many bad things in the world.

Lack of admittance of slavery in other parts of the world, gives a false impression.

All of this justifies the capitalists using this to gain power over white people, to justify sucking their economies dry, and transferring their money to other countries via business, pension funds and consumerism, while at the same time, the capitalists taking a huge portion of it for themselves via the business element of the process.

Non-one seems to question what this does to people in Africa and the ME.

I prefer to be color-blind. If that is racist, it is a very strange world we live in.

Many cultures (brown eyed people) have a fear of whites and think they are the devil. And, probably rightly so looking at history, but not just Americans, European whites too.​

blue eyed devil

A term for white people -- usually white men -- originating in Asian countries where white soldiers were stationed during wartime (Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, etc.). The term is not only a slur on racial "intruders" but implies an anxiety about the seductive but dangerous effect of "exotic" blue-eyed men on local women and, more generally, on local culture.
"Kim, you must not consort with that blue eyed devil American. He will only use you for his pleasure and then be gone, bringing dishonor upon us all. If you continue to see him, you are no longer my daughter

____

Reverse Racism or Reverse Discrimination is alive and well, I've experienced it where when there is job competition say in a fast food place if you are just working your way through college, whites can't get just any job that is mostly filled by other races., they 'gun jump' the whites out (at least in the South where I've experienced it). So you are forced to get higher level jobs pretty much and even there, the blacks seem to be extremely bossy and take over everything, its weird. Honestly, it wasn't like that on the West coast, you have more equality in some places and less in others. Definitely endured some Reverse discrimination in the South.

The word racism isn't that useful at the moment unfortunately besides niche cases where someone's reputation is at stake. Like many other words.

The problem is when you hold irrational prejudices on the basis of race. Or any characteristic one has no control over with no relation to such characteristic.

That being said, the West (GU-ITE PPL) clearly dominated the world during the past couple centuries and didn't exactly set a good example to follow.

They also created a system where- at least those that did have/attain wealth, easily retained it, while everyone else got the ladder kicked out from under them almost systematically. Hence why culturally speaking they indeed do act entitled. Or perhaps that is just irrational prejudice?

I suppose that is another legit grievence. We can talk about the soundness of saying such a thing with white people, but asking if for example puerto ricans don't like to shower is rude.

Oh well- like I said, the west didn't really set a good example of good double standards unfortunately.

Capitalism incentivizes our already tribal nature, again something the people who have been in power, particularly since the 80s, has shamelessly advocated for.

By "minority" I mean minority power, not the numerical minority. But yes, in places where whites are the majority power, discrimination against them hurts less than against minorities.

Power is a context, so yes, if I'm the only white person in a neighborhood and I don't have some special reason I'm powerful, I am at a disadvantage. And yes in a room there is a power context, but when it gets down to the individual level there is an interplay of factors that are not averaged over a population. Me being white in a room full of blacks might be entirely counteracted by my being jacked or particularly charismatic or whatever, which are kinds of power.

I'm not prescribing a system, I'm describing the current one. I'm still feeling out where my position is.

I believe this is how people interpret discrimination, which explains the selective tolerance of discrimination even in woke circles. I think lefties can take this nuance and tactically ignore other factors, facilitating sanctimonious discrimination. I think righties can selectively ignore this nuance, enabling false equivalence and denial of real issues.

Freedom of association.

But power is concentrated in partitions, boundaries, and barriers and borders. Global, Nation State, City local.

There no longer is a frontier to journey into. All frontiers are intellectual now.

Mars? Good luck not becoming a technocracy.

The metaverse? Yes.

We shall move into the internet itself and create our own societies. In 3D VR.

I think there are gradients to racism, kind of like TBBT Rajejs keeps saying "Its a little bit racist", which indicates you can be a little racist.

The extrems are more visible and upset people the most, but then they make other people think that this is how the world works, and they adopt those attitudes so when someone is little racist, they think the worst of the person.

However there is logic to this, as things are slipper slope.
So you can gradually transform society from racist to non racist back to racist.

The key point is where societies were racist originally and have larger mix population have more trouble eliminating racism, than societies that were racist, but predominantly white.

The healing of social trauma can be done the same way as most trauma heals and that is through open dialogue were people accept certain truths like there was injustice and genocide and mob violence.

Realistically US is much better in terms of racism today than in 50s.
But acknowledgment of this truth is important part of social healing.
Albeit its still far cry from no racism, most people focus on the worst aspects of racism giving little room for gradients of improvements.

So if social attitudes are only at the most negative things they translate even to social situations where things are relatively benign.
Kind of like when you have depression and think only negative thoughts even when nothing has happened.

Literacy also went up astronomically. So it's not like it was all bad. There was plenty of good that came out of it as well.

This is why I think religion is important. The problem with race in America is that it's always preached and reminded to people, so that wounds would never heal. Every generation thinks that it's up to them to 'fix' something. The thing is, people much older than you have begun that kind of program. You don't upsurp that, steal the thunder, and think something you're doing is revolutionary. The younger you are, the less you are aware of history and it's implications on societial experiences at large. People need to talk to their elders and see how much progress we've achieved, rather than to seek out damages that have been done to each other.

People used to joke about white things and black things back in the 90s. You can't do that anymore. People need love.

I would say that we did make a decent move by implementing a legislative bureaucracy powered by proxy of democracy.

We however, had an opportunity for a fresh start, and we used it to ensure exclusive freedoms to a racial class for the first 200 years and less so in the following decades.

That fresh start ended with us being among the last to abolish slavery. Simply a cost of freedom that isn't evenly distributed?

Can't say, but in the US, lack of funding to public schools in particular zones is still a problem to this day, so I wouldn't particularly say that's something we have lead the charge in

the term 'racism' has certain historical, political, and cultural contexts. In terms of US for example we all know what the context is. One cannot talk about 'racism' as just being mean to a race, in a vacuum. When one is using examples of americans on tik tock saying mean things about whites and calling that 'racism' i think that's pretty idiotic

however, those people themselves - who view the world through a neo-marxist oppressor/oppressed lens - simply perpetuate division between classes, races, sexes etc, and are not much smarter themselves

it's a good business for humanities faculties though

The west is as a practical purpose a political technology. Guaranteed rights and law with a separation of gov powers. Any country that adopts these is westernized. Even in communist counties like China. Iran and North Korea not so much. Qatar an Sudi Arabia is like monarchy democracies. Russia is a mafia. Vatican city is a city-state.

Lots more socialism in Europe than in the USA.

Prejudice exists everywhere. All over the place, different groups don't like each other Pakistanis don't really like Indians. Liberals and conservatives in the United States.

So there is no guarantee that you will get along with others just because you are not white. But if you are westernized you will protest oppression.

Only by opposing oppression can we make things better.

But if you oppose whites you are the same as Nazis opposing Jews.

Just because you think some race is evil doesn't make it so.

people don't understand other cultures and think they are inferior.

what makes a culture better or worse is the freedom and prosperity it has.

what is oppression is the intentional limitation of this.

the CIA for example selling cocaine to poor blacks in the 80''s and 90's.
