Without a doubt. I've seen it happen to others and I've experienced it myself and I'm mostly white. Still had someone call my family a racial slur because I'm part Asian.
I think it's pretty normal to be afraid of people that do not look like you and/or your family, it comes from the time of creation, wars, raids... and now it's time to Get Over It... it requires going against our natural instincts... and we MUST
It’s not a natural instinct to be racist. When I was younger I was friends with this Indian girl that lived in the apartment across from mine and we suddenly stopped hanging out and I didn’t know why but later on my mom had told me it’s because their family was prejudice and didn’t want their daughter hanging around me because I was black.
Do you see a difference between stating the existence of a thing and defending that thing? There's always gonna be murderers thieves, child molesters and frauds... You think i defend all that cause i acknowledge that it exists?
Of course their are murderers but there are ways to decrease the rate that people are being murdered but instead you just admit that people murder and act like you did something revelationary..
remember how i said exactly that in my initial comment "You can try to reduce it". i didn't act as if i said something "revelationary". i just coldly stated the facts. i wasn't gonna start a revolution with that xD
Unfortunately it is but I believe new generations are more aware of it and it's not "cool" to be a racist anymore. I hope racism becomes extinct in a few years from now.
And it's all Spiraling to Jim Crow+. @doopayo How would you react to Segregation 2.0 if it was brought to you by BLM? Other than that this day and age, Racism is proving to be quite profitable.
If the black community is to ever be rid of themselves of the malevolent specter of White Supremacy, they most commit whole heatedly to ethnic cleansing. The only way to end Racism is through ethnic cleansing. And the best way to Cleanse an Ethnicity is to kill their young. A really straight forward solution to a pervasive problem. Agree?
Wheres the hate? I'm just telling it as it is. History is chock full of genocide. Why not take the initiative, ally with other BIPOC and erase the white devils. Now how can a Hispanic individual be racist in the first place? I'm not white, so how Can I be Racist?
@doopayo Here's the point Kid. Your putting racism where Misanthropy would be the more appropriate label. Every self righteous White College Kid can easily say that they would Die for the Likes of BLM. Narcissist love nothing more than to Die a Martyr, It's an Easy way to become that beautiful symbol that they know they are. However, real progress is written in blood; and how many are there who are willing to kill for the cause? Your Standard white girl narcissist would never consider this, they would never risk there image being twisted into a monster. It's easy and effortless to say that you would die for the cause, and with that the whole movement becomes domesticated and easily controlled. To kill for a just cause and you stand to get some actual change, but few activist are willing to become a monster in the eyes of the public. Revolutions are won by remorseless killers, not by domesticated martyrs.
Their called peaceful protests for a reason, BLM has done many peaceful protests but instead their met with tear gas and guns? It would be way worst if the protests weren’t peaceful
@doopayo Your "peaceful protest" only serve to placate the oppressed masses and raise political capital at no real expense to those that fund BLM. There is no bloodless revolution and BLM is nothing more than a pressure release valve. It's absolutely pathetic that no one came to the conclusion of merely following those cops home and leaving them a message. A toothless movement that only serves to attract media attention and nothing more.
@doopayo A bunch of Homemade SMG and Pipe bombs would get the powers that be running scared. With the thought that death could come at any moment in the form of a Car Bomb many would cave to BLM's demands. A Real Revolution gets real results, just look at the Bolsheviks and the IRA.
Viruses have the ability to rapidly evolve. And the way to stop a virus from evolving is to decrease the risk of transmission. I’m pretty sure that’s something you learn in highschool?
Not sure what you’re even referring to but this virus should be taken seriously if you want things to be normal again. We’ve already had about 2-3 mutations of covid come out and if that continues because people like you put yourself above all else than covid can get much worst.
Yes but I'd say nowhere near as much as people say it is. Realistically, racism will always exist because there will always be individuals who will form prejudices whether on their own by bad personal experience or from others.
Racism is something that's never going to die out, as long as human beings exist there are going to be some of them who are going to hate other people based on the color of their skin, culture, etc.
Yes it does exist. We live in a fallen world and people are judgmental on a lot of things and some believe ancestry explains who that person and what they can accomplish.
slavery ended and i'm not saying i agree with the left but racism still exists because it is a mental thing. Racism is thinking oneself more superior than another just because of their race. it could swing anyway. anyone can have a racist mindset, it isn't just white against black. Black people can be racist too
@David_Bayer what she’s saying is that you can’t fully grasp what it’s like to live in America as a poc because you aren’t a never will be a poc. That’s all she’s trying to say.
You can see situations around you but your perspective is still not going to be as accurate of a portrayal than what someone who’s actually a minority is going threw.
It is, and always has been. But it comes more and more, if not mainly, from people who are said that they can't be racist. A sort of allowed and accepted racism that you can't name.

Yes, but I think generally the average person isn't racist, and racism only exists in small pockets... At least in the US.
I don’t agree. I’ve had so many racists things happen just for existing and being my skin color. It’s very prevalent in the us
Like what?
Um. What else do you expect me to say?
Do you mean examples?
Yep.
Yes! I live in a very multicultural part of London and whenever white people speak it’s always hate about immigrants etc.
Even on Twitter I’ve received abuse just because my boyfriend isn’t white
I think it's pretty normal to be afraid of people that do not look like you and/or your family, it comes from the time of creation, wars, raids... and now it's time to Get Over It... it requires going against our natural instincts... and we MUST

Racism is a taught concept, not human nature
Racism did always exist and will always exist. You can try to reduce it. But thinking you can get rid of it altogether is delusional.
So you basically defend racism and don’t want to do anything you can to dismantle it? Sounds pretty prideful to me
Do you see a difference between stating the existence of a thing and defending that thing? There's always gonna be murderers thieves, child molesters and frauds... You think i defend all that cause i acknowledge that it exists?
Of course their are murderers but there are ways to decrease the rate that people are being murdered but instead you just admit that people murder and act like you did something revelationary..

You should already know what these people on here think. And if you don't, take a look at older questions that are similar.
And it's all Spiraling to Jim Crow+. @doopayo How would you react to Segregation 2.0 if it was brought to you by BLM? Other than that this day and age, Racism is proving to be quite profitable.
What are you even going on about?
@doopayo The obvious.
It’s not obvious if I have to ask what you’re even talking about
That there been a return to the notion of Segregation in recent years.

An easier way of getting your point across would be to just admit your racist

Um... that’s the entire point. BLM is against violence?

@doopayo If BLM is against Violence then don't expect to get anything useful done. Violence is in fact the answer.
Yes, because the far left is keeping it alive and active.
there are very few in US. It is just another liberal crisis to get votes, like Covid, global warming, education, over population, and eating meat.
Um. Global warming is a real thing.. so is covid? And I can assure you racism exists in the us
one person in 200, like virus deaths. Another fraud crisis

I learned not to make mountains out of mole hills. This was a nothing burger made out to be the plaque.

19 working on 20.
Yes but I'd say nowhere near as much as people say it is. Realistically, racism will always exist because there will always be individuals who will form prejudices whether on their own by bad personal experience or from others.
Ofc it is. Racism is always going to be here no matter what...
Racism is something that's never going to die out, as long as human beings exist there are going to be some of them who are going to hate other people based on the color of their skin, culture, etc.
Yes it does exist. We live in a fallen world and people are judgmental on a lot of things and some believe ancestry explains who that person and what they can accomplish.
Yes racism is 100% around active in every race it’s not going anywhere hate to say it
You can't control others.
All you can do is treat others how you want to be treated and raise your kids to do the same.
No, racism officially ended in 1969 according to Fox News and conservatives everywhere.
slavery ended and i'm not saying i agree with the left but racism still exists because it is a mental thing. Racism is thinking oneself more superior than another just because of their race. it could swing anyway. anyone can have a racist mindset, it isn't just white against black. Black people can be racist too
Incorrect, Fox News says that we had a black president so racism is officially over 😩✊🏽
Yes, but it's not as bad as the left makes it out to be.
Funny you say that as a white male. I’m sure you’ve experienced first hand numerous counts of micro aggressions.
Biggest problem is the government. They treat minorities with privilige like in my country where about half of gipsy families live fully on welfare.
@maynatalia135 Yeah, I know it's hilarious.
you will never know first hand what minorities in this country go through. you have no say on this topic.
Your logic > Food critic shouldn't rate food because he isn't chef.
Stop being a whiny snowflake
@maynatalia135 No, That's where you're wrong. Once I'm really old whites will be the minority and then I can play the victim.
@David_Bayer what she’s saying is that you can’t fully grasp what it’s like to live in America as a poc because you aren’t a never will be a poc. That’s all she’s trying to say.
Sure I understand but just because you are not a minority doesn't mean you don't see situation around you
You can see situations around you but your perspective is still not going to be as accurate of a portrayal than what someone who’s actually a minority is going threw.
The most you can do is make educated guesses
Sure I'm not here to argue. Have a nice day y'all
It is, and always has been. But it comes more and more, if not mainly, from people who are said that they can't be racist. A sort of allowed and accepted racism that you can't name.
Racism is still a thing. Blacks, Whites, and all others. Racism is everywhere.
