Sweetheart listen. Due to the history of what white people have done to Africans and what they're still doing. We don't know why they were killed. You don't know if it was justified cuz u weren't there. Eminem probably thought he could say the n word like most of y'all white people and was shown different.

Look, if you want to keep the victim complex for yourself, you can have it. Sit around and cry about how hard done by you are, and how white people have made everything so tough for you. And when you have wallowed in your self pity long enough, maybe you’ll realize that if you want something to change, you have to fucking do it yourself.
Or, just keep sitting around making victim noises.
You’re choice.

Your... Siri you twat... not you’re.
Smart phone my ass

[Asker]

Bitch wtf 🤣🤣 I knew your racist ass was gonna claim I have a victim mentality 🤦🏾‍♀️its not as easy as 1 2 3 dumb ass. You clearly have no idea how hard it is to for poc to get ahead. That's typical white people thinking 🙄😂 no one is sitting around in self pity, im going back to school to start my own business, I refuse to be a bot working for y'all all my life so that is what im doing about it bitch not having my parents spoil me like u . the topic I brought up has nothing to with what u typed but u tried it 😂 regardless of how successful I become ill still experience racism. White people like you are funny asf assuming we aren't trying to do anything for ourselves and when we finally do. y'all want in on it or find a way to destroy like y'all always have. Think about what you say before you say it Karen

[Asker]

*destroy it or colonize it like you always have

[Opinion Owner]

Is that Karen enough for you?

[Asker]

No its enough Kyle for today though 😂😂😂

[testersite00]

no, they can't. white people are not oppressed, never have been oppressed, and will never be oppressed. white people have always been the oppressors towards people of color. white people have been in power for years, so having racial prejudice (white people can't dance) is not the same as racism.

[Asker]

Exactly ! None of them have had to protest because of their skin color !

[Barbaric]

Let's see what happens once white people become minorities.

[testersite00]

@barbaric even IF that happens, people of color will not "get back" at white people for slavery, no one would allow that horror normalized again.

[Barbaric]

You mean like they already did in Haiti? Rhodesia? Like they're doing in South Africa right now?

[testersite00]

@Barbaric you think that's normal? its not! and people are currently trying to put a stop to it and all forms of modern day slavery

[Barbaric]

You're naive.

[testersite00]

@Barbaric and you are a 29 year old man who thinks white people will become minorities in his life time. i guess we are all a little stupid, huh?

Several hundred years ago many white Europeans were taken captive by Muslim raiders and forced into slavery. The United States under President Thomas Jefferson even fought wars with the north African Muslim raiders (who were the Islamic terrorists of that era) because they were capturing so many American sailors. And the very fair-skinned Slavic peoples of Europe got their ethnic name from being enslaved.

[Asker]

Where'd you read that? Wikipedia? Nobody has done vile shit like white people. y'all aren't oppressed at all.

[John_Galt]

any person can experience racism, just like any person can be racist. There is no race that is immune to prejudice.
Millions of black people were slaves in America, just like millions of white people where slaves in north Africa. The history of the world is packed full of racism and prejudice, by everyone and against everyone!! Anyone who doesn’t believe that has never read a history book!

[sufferingbuddha]

Hi

I have struggled this my whole life. I have grown up since a child being a white minority and being picked on for my skin colour repeatedly. Just the other month I was called a white fucking bitch for wearing shorts in a park. I think noughts and crosses, sums up my feelings bettert than I could. I have witnessed my friends being called a p*ki, etc. To conclude. Race is a construct to divide more people. It's not about skin colour, it's about power distribution. I see from the American perspectives and the atrocities against people for generations, yep. Certain areas of the world have historical problems. Now I just laugh. Someone is prejudice to me I just laugh. Racism/ racial prejudice/ yada schmada. Only way we fight this and wake up, is to send love to hate. I love you and I am sorry for anything you have experienced. I have a dream...

[joeldalton]

Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.

If you’re doing any of those things towards white people, you’re being racist.

[Asker]

No ❤ no other race is beating up white people because they think they started the Corona virus and calling them ling ling , no one is killing white people because of their race and hanging them from trees , no other race has committed a mass genocide and has stolen land from them and pushed them to a reservation. No other race is has white kids in cages and separating families. Being called Karen and snow roachand saying u font season your food is in no comparison to either of the things listed.

[joeldalton]

Maybe read a history book or two before you start spouting such ignorance.

[Asker]

How is the history of what white people do to poc ignorance? Yeah you're definitely white can tell 😂😂 you think you know everything and but you don't know shit about racism cuz u don't experience it but oh so badly want to think u experience it.

[Asker]

FYI I've read plenty of books and none of them say white people were oppressed by a different race so stfu

[joeldalton]

And so are you. You shut the fuck up, you ignorant twat.

[DrunkAss]

"White men can't jump". In actuality, Woody Harrelson was a better basketball player than Wesley Snipes. Apparent Wesley snipes can't even throw a basketball in a way that tends to even hit the backboard. Any person entering a culture that is dominated by others will tend to face discrimination whether it's a white backetball player or a male nurse or a black engineer or a female construction worker.

[Asker]

😂😂😂 no

[DrunkAss]

That's because you are a spoiled princess, isn't it? You have no clue of a hardship. "Privilege" and "oppression" are just fantasy concepts to you, like Star Wars. Get a clue, your higness.

[Asker]

😂😂😂😂 u don't know me of my background sweetie. You're not oppressed peasant 😘

[DrunkAss]

And you don't know mine either, so I suppose we are mutually bigoted about each other's backgrounds, and that will result in an eternal conflict between us. But your responses make me think you are most callous and hardly different from, say, the KKK. We can talk about racism and racism that but at the end of the day, the real problem exists in the obstacles we impose on getting to know each other, like laughing at each other's answers when we're trying to be serious.

[DrunkAss]

I am biracial. I navigated white and black in my schools. I heard the whispers both ways. Whether we call it "racism" or not, there is the bigotry of equal magnitude both ways. "Stick to our kind." That's the bigotry.

[DrunkAss]

If any of that was directed at me then I would also ask you to listen, *my* sweetheart. I've had white friends kill themselves, ridiculed -- the most unfortunate lives. I am not trying to be callous to history but to say "white people" here like they are having 7-course French dinners excludes all those who suffer. Statistically, and by relative, not absolute numbers, more white people live below the poverty line than any other race. I am biracial and my ancestors immigrated from Ireland *after* the civil war. What do we have to do with slavery? But even if they were earlier immigrants to America, what do they have to do with it? Is it not the same type of bigotry that prevents us from knowing each other, becoming friends with each other? We see skin color and think something. Or sex and think something. Or sexual orientation, or fashion style, or nerd vs. jock, or thin vs. fat, or politics, or whatever it is to segregate and divide each other. I'm biracial again. That might both credit and discredit me in this discussion in some way. But I would lump it all the same. I have to be a bit insensitive here. I think it's the right stance.

[Asker]

Ok ur ignorance showed when u said what does slavery have to do with us? My guy those are my ancestors and they were treated like they were less than nothing and ill never get over that. My grandparents were around during segregation so it wasn't that long ago. White people have no history of oppression by another race and they have vile history with all poc and none of us are seeking revenge. We're sitting here asking for equality when is not even up to white people to decide what we deserve. Tf.

[Asker]

Nobody thinks all white people have 7 course French dinners tf. Cuz its not true , we're saying you have the privilege to get away with certain shit that poc don't because white people have all the power as of now, we're not saying y'all don't struggle. Yalm have better opportunities than we do

[DrunkAss]

I might have miscommunicated. I was saying what does slavery have to do with Irish immigrants who emigrated to the US in the 20th century? They are white people and you are lumping them in, if you just say "white people", with people who actually held slaves.

[DrunkAss]

My white side of the family is Irish like that. We emigrated to the US in the 20th century. None of us were slave owners in any history I can trace back to 1,000+ years. But they're white. So they are guilty just because they are white? Every white person is the same? You see a problem here?

[Asker]

Bruh 😒 you're completely missing the point of what I said and im irritating so im ending this conversation 👋🏽

[Asker]

*irritated

[Asker]

No saud y'all are all the same wtf 💀 you're definitely missing the point. Im done ✌🏾

[DrunkAss]

No, you're missing the point because whatever obsession you have with slavery and oppression from history has blinded you to just people in front of you. That's all we are. Just people. And you're the ultimate racist if you don't see that.

[burlen]

Of course any ethnicity and race does experience racism. However, a race or ethnicity tend to experience racism than do other races.

[WesBrewer]

In America, you can only be racist against blacks and other minorities it seems, although someone calling you a pale demon would be racist by my standards.

[Asker]

Don't refer to that community as the blacks its dehumanizing

[Whtevernever]

Black is literally a recognized race group.

[Asker]

They don't refer to themselves as "the blacks" asswipe

[Whtevernever]

Are you speaking for all black people everywhere? 😂

[Asker]

Are u speaking for idiots everywhere? You're doing a lovely job 😘

[disgustingweebtrash]

Well race is the belief a certain race is superior/inferior to another or others so... if you believe whites are superior/inferior by definition... you're racist..

Since you seem to think whites are this being unable to experience hardship or struggle and should "pay" for things that their ancestors did (not they themselves did) you would yourself come across as racist for believing this

[Asker]

Who said they needed to pay for what their ancestors did? Who said I didn't think white people dobt struggle wtf? 😂😂 you're assuming shit and saying things i never said or thought. I simply asked a question that u didn't answer tf

[disgustingweebtrash]

If you need to ask a question such as this then your own answer to your own question is somewhat clear

[Asker]

No ❤ you're implying that I'm racist is dumb asf but nice try in trying to sound smart though

[disgustingweebtrash]

I saw you deny the barbary trade... very peculiar... nice try and trying to hide how you really feel

[Uannoyme]

Are you asking this because you are interested in actual discussion, or do you just want a platform for your own hate and racism?

[Asker]

Are u responding like this because you you're assuming I'm trying to spread hate or are you going to voice your opinion like everyone else and go about your business 🤔🙄

[Uannoyme]

Your responses to most of the opinions here is what makes me believe you just want to spread hate. Your response to me tells me you have no interest in actual discussion.

[Asker]

😂😂 then dont answer the question and move on with your day

[Asker]

@Uannoyme i see you reported my post 😂😂😂 and they put it right back up. You thought they was gonna delete it 💀 I dont care what u believe I'm trying to do. I simply asked a question and you worried about whsf other ppls opinions are smh. Next time you don't like a question just keep scrolling instead being an annoying little bitch who assumes they can get someone's post deleted because they don't like it.

[Uannoyme]

I reported your post? Nope.

[Uannoyme]

I'd like to see some proof of that...

[Whtevernever]

Of course. Not in most western countries but in eastern ones absolutely.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Of course they can, it shouldn't require explanation, it's self evident.

[Asker]

No ❤

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

If you say so 🙄

[Asker]

😂 I definitely do , y'all are not oppressed what so ever. No matter how bad y'all want to be

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

We're talking about racism, not oppression. Racism is the belief that one race is "inferior" to another.

[Asker]

And white people are pushing the narrative that they are superior and their not. Tf

[abc3643]

Of course.
Live in China or Africa.

[Asker]

What do they do to white people over there 🤔

[abc3643]

In any society, you are either a member of its majority or its minority. It doesn't matter what the ethnicity is, but the majority will always enjoy a sort of privilege (*) because they are the ones that dominate the society. It is human nature to "look out for our kind" and view others as, at best, suspect, or worse, a threat.

(*) In European countries and countries founded by Europeans (which means all of the Western Hemisphere), there is "white privilege" because White people (descended from Native Europeans) are the majority in those countries. In Asia and most African countries, whites are not the majority, so there may be all sorts of subtle racism. It's just fundamental to human nature.

[BedheadGreg]

Yes lol hell white people are racist against other white people.

Wasn't their a war fault over one shite saying he's support to other whites

[BedheadGreg]

Superior

[BedheadGreg]

White

[Asker]

😂😂 white is not superior its not even a fuckin race. y'all are a genetic mutation of black people

[BedheadGreg]

You miss read what I said.

I meant to say Hitler killed other white people because they weren't white enough for him. White people called Italians niggers back in the 1910s1920s.

And as far as superior white people rule 2/3 of the world.
And your genetic argument is like saying the iPhone 1 vs iphone 10 one is clearly superior been thought they come from the same. thing.

At least a argument could be made.

[Asker]

Lol thats not racism if their doing that shit to one another. Its just murder tf. You clearly have not researched the eve gene if you're saying they're the same. 😂😂 but ok

[BedheadGreg]

Oh you want actual racism I got you. What eminem and Fergie went though is racism.
Because your white your not good or I don't want you around.

People can choose not to hire you because your white.

Or say all white people are this or that's white people stuff, white people are monsters, etc all phrases people say

[Asker]

They experienced prejudice not racism and Eminem stands with the black community. I dont know about Fergie

[BedheadGreg]

Nobody want to hire I'm in because he was white. That's racism.
They stopped him financially, physically and emotionally

eminem was beat up and put in coma because he was white.
In south Africa Africans was killing white people because they was white
That covers all 3 bases of racism

[BedheadGreg]

Racism-prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

"a program to combat racism"

[Asker]

No white people dont experience racism 😒 you can tryda sound smart all u want but white people dont have to protest for their rights. Its only poc

[BedheadGreg]

In theory what would need to be done to be racist to white people. What check lost would need to be checked

[Asker]

Have land stolen and have mass genocide on their people , be murdered for their skin color , be separated from their families and put their kids in cages, and brutally beat them and blaming them for a virus . or best yet have their culture colonized like the rest of the world. That's what could happen for them to have experience racism and oppression. And neither has happened to them at all by another race. They killed each other because of a fkin religion, that's not racism at all that just a dumb ass reason to murder someone

[Asker]

White people have not had to protest another race fir their rights 🙄

[Asker]

White people are afraid to become a minority and its hilarious. The rest of the world is asking them for equality and rights like white people rin this world and they don't. As soon as poc realize how powerful they are in unity. White people won't run shit but their mouths

[BedheadGreg]

Didn't north African and Muslim enslave Europeans during the barbary slave trade?

[Asker]

No matter how bad y'all want yo be oppressed YOU'RE NOT ! Get over it ! Good bye

[BedheadGreg]

Just say you hate white people and get it out your system.

[Asker]

Just say you wanna be oppressed and get it outta your system

[Asker]

I hate ignorant racist white people like yourself , that I can admit

[Asker]

You're asking me about the slave trade u brought up shows u didn't do any real research 😂 I know white people enslaved black and native people. Europeans didn't suffer any oppression from black or native people so gtfoh with your Wikipedia research 😂

[Asker]

I'm done conversing with ignorance good day

[BedheadGreg]

Go ahead and block me then. by the way I'm not white if that's what your assuming.

[OddBeMe]

Of course. Just not as much as blacks or other minorities obvi.

If I go to an NAACP convention I’d be welcomed, but prob mostly excluded.

[Asker]

Whats your race?

[Asker]

I thought so smh

[OddBeMe]

white

[Asker]

Just as I thought, next caller

[OddBeMe]

sorry what's your point? Are you agreeing with me?

[Asker]

I'm not agreeing with u at all

[Anonymous]

Albinos can experince racism same as anyone else.

[Asker]

When did I say anything about an albino. White people are genetically mutated from albinos who are black tf

[Asker]

Mostly black

[JennieF]

Yes. Anyone can. No one should.

[Anonymous]

It’s possible to racist to any race.

[Opinion Owner]

Obviously racism is so much worse for black people and other minorities

[Asker]

White people aren't minorities tf

[Opinion Owner]

Never said they were

[Anonymous]

Yes they surely can.
