Did your parents/guardians try to teach you that racism is good or bad or not at all?

[Jammaa]

Whether they were right or wrong, what did they try to teach?

Racism is good

Racism is bad

Nothing regarding racism

[BeMuse]

We just weren’t racist. That’s the normal state of things unless you are raised by racist parents. It not even something we had to talk about. In the White community 5% see their race as extremely important (race extremists). That’s the group that potentially have somewhat racist parents. In contrast 52% of the Black community think race is extremely important (race extremists). Those are the ones that likely have racist parents. Thus why the BLM a racist hate group has so much support in the Black community. An additional 22% of the Black community view race as very important. For Hispanics it’s 31% and for Asians it’s 27%. So Being a White guy from a primarily White neighborhood 95% of the people around me didn’t have racist parents. We were just raised normal. No one cared.

[Jammaa]

Interesting. So you believe white people are the least racist and black people are the most racist? Do you think your thought is shared in your community or an outlier?

[BeMuse]

That’s what the sats show... It’s not hard for anyone who’s actually paying attention to pick up on. Who’s in the streets acting like Nazi era fascists playing the victim claiming that some outsiders are coming into their community oppressing them and then going out to commit retributive violence by beating & killing random people of other races with mob violence and then smashing up, looting, and burning down businesses and homes? Who’s claiming they were wrong and want special treatment like reparations. This is classic fascist behavior. It’s exactly what the Nazis did… That error also had their own Marxist “privileged” and “critical theory” propaganda pushes. If you’ve studied history it’s blatantly obvious. If you look at the stats it's blatantly obvious. If you have common sense it's blatantly obvious... I don't know how much more obvious it needs to be...

[Jammaa]

Ok I didn't look at it yet but Do you think your thoughts are shared in your community or you're an outlier?

[Jammaa]

I understand you're talking about stats but I'm wondering if your community is aware

[BeMuse]

Yes everyone is aware of the racist Black movement. They are disgruntled that Democrat governments don’t act to maintain the rule of law and common decency within their territory, but overall think it’s nothing to get worked up over. Blacks are destroying their own community leaving themselves more disadvantaged by their own racist outbursts. It’s not negatively affecting us at all. If anything there is increased population migration to our areas which brings up our property values. No one feels threatened or oppressed except victims in Democrat cities that allow their municipalities to spiral down the toilet.

[Gray-Wisp]

Unfortunately, my parents are ignorant of many statistics and much data as they had already solidified their opinions about such things 1. Because this data wasn't easily available or the studies were conducted late in their life and 2. Because they've been alive during the entire 'racism is the worst thing ever' fad that plagues out society to this day. They taught their children that being racist is bad but it is looking more likely that I will end up teaching them about how you have to basically be racist in order to be logical in the area of race.

[Gray-Wisp]

our society*

[Jammaa]

Interesting. Why do you think you have to be racist?

[Gray-Wisp]

Oh, you don't HAVE to be racist but if you want to actually look at racial statistics then I don't see how any reasonable person could reach the conclusion that all races are the same and that it doesn't genetically influence someone. I see something a lot in liberals, they will apply a standard until that standard conflicts with their emotions or until they feel uncomfortable, and that is when they make all of the excuses in the world to NOT apply it in those select controversial cases. This is one of those cases.

[Jammaa]

Interesting. Can you share just a few examples? I don't know much about the stats but I'd like to learn

[Gray-Wisp]

There's many arguments and they each have factors associated with them. I will specifically target blacks because there's the biggest differences and so it is much easier to make an argument. I will list a few things.

1. Crime.

The crime statistics for blacks are abysmal. Almost everyone has heard the 13% causes over 50%. If case you really haven't heard, it states that 13% (blacks) of the population commits over half of the murders. The crime statistics am referencing are from the FBI. While blacks may have dipped under 50% of the murders it is still extremely high for 13% of the population. If we did not have blacks in our country our crime rates would look much like a typical European country. Blacks create over 25% of our overall crime despite making up 13% of the population. You can blame poverty but hispanics are not that much richer and don't commit nearly as much crime as blacks do. You can blame gangs but there are more hispanics in the U. S. that are in gangs than blacks in gangs and their crime rates are much lower. You can blame things like many ghettos lacking hospitals, or cops patrolling poorer neighborhoods more, but I can't see these factors making up such huge differences. It's definitely black people. Can you name a single primarily black country that isn't crime ridden?

[Gray-Wisp]

2. IQ

The average black person in the U. S. has an IQ of 85. In Africa some places even have an average IQ in the 50's. This is extremely concerning because if your IQ is below 80 you are basically not able to be a productive member of society in the modern world. This ties into crime somewhat as well. If someone can't be a productive member of society then what are they going to do? With men's IQ they are usually either high or low IQ, not that many are around the average. So, when your average is 85, you need 80 to be a productive member of society, and you're one of the many men who drew the short straw. What is going to happen to you? You're going to basically be forced to be a criminal. This is why many jails are full of black men. They chose to do the crime and they need to be removed from society don't get me wrong, But, it's basically not even their fault. What choice did they have? There are a multitude of factors that influence IQ. Why is the black American at 85 and some black Africans at 55? Mainly because of disease, food quality, and education. Concerning education there have been great strides taken to send black children to white schools, to give them free college, and to even force other races out to make room for blacks in competitive colleges. Healthcare in the U. S. (despite propaganda) is actually ranked very well compared to other countries. People have so much food here we have an obesity problem. Their IQ has peaked at 85 and for the black men that got the short straw... life won't be easy for them.

[Gray-Wisp]

3. Genetics

IQ is partially genetic, but there is much more to genetics, and it is a sound science. If you asked a geneticist how many human races are there they'd likely say something like "I don't know what you mean by race but genetically there are a couple different distinct main genetic groups in humanity. There are also many subgroups." I believe that these groups carry certain physical traits and mental proclivities. This would be the same as different dog breeds. Certain dog breeds are prone to being more agressive for example. Certain dog breeds are bigger than others or have different hair. To simplify genetics down to skin color alone is extremely foolish as there is much that your main genetic branch can tell about a person, both physical and mental.

[Gray-Wisp]

4. Achievements

Here's a test for you. Start randomly googling who invented something, do it five times or ten times. Stop reading this right now and do this. Was every inventor Caucasion or Asian? In the U. S. the middle-east is considered part of Asia, I know that some other countries may conduct geography differently. When I have done this it is always a European, an Asian, or a non-black African, as in they genetically would not be considered African. Can you find a single first world country that is primarily black? When it comes to blacks they a very high population but hardly any achievements to show for it.

[Gray-Wisp]

5. Not All Bad

As I said previously, your main genetic branch is going to say a lot about what you look like and even how you may mentally function. Many blacks are in professional Basketball or Football (American). They definitely make up more than 13% of those populations. This is because of their physical traits which are either being tall or being strong or being fast. These traits would give them an advantage in a harsh environment like Africa. These are good things to have even in modern society.

[Gray-Wisp]

6. My Conclusion

This is more the way that I view them. Many of them are not able to be productive members of society and soon many more of them will be replaced by automation as they are doing unskilled labor. While this is not their fault it should also not be my problem. I shouldn't suffer because of some person not having a high enough IQ to get a job, especially when they exacerbate the situation by having a lot of children out of wedlock thus adding to our ghettos. This same group that historically cannot even build a civilized society or invent much is coincidentally the most destructive, prideful, and hostile. This issue is only compounded by the fact that they vote for Democrats at a 90% rate and I advocate to live in a very far-right society, so they're my ideological enemies as well. What am I to do with a group like this?

[Jammaa]

Oh wow that's a lot. Thanks for the education. I appreciate the time you took for this.

[A_Bell]

We never really cared about race. I was introduced to racism when a black girl in college told me how much she hated white people and that I was the only one she liked. Then it was some Asian students who I though were friends who told me I couldn't go out with them because whites weren't welcome at the event.

It woke me up to how openly racist many non-white people are.

[menina]

I didn't need my parents to teach me that racism is bad. I've learned that when I was 5 in the worst way possible.

[Jammaa]

What happened

[menina]

I had white kids calling me racist names, telling me to go back to my country and accusing me of stealing. They even said they would call the police.

[Jammaa]

Fucked upp... Dang some people suck.

[menina]

Yes! And it's even worse when you learn these things at such a young age.

[FunkyMonkee]

I guess a. Dad was much more prejudiced than mom but all of her family was, too. I started out that way EVER SO SLIGHTLY because I just thought it was normal but, by the time I was in my teens, I began to question, reason and think for myself!
Now, the only thing I have against blacks is some of the stupid, ignorant things they do!! Sure, there's whites and others that do it, too, but nowhere NEAR as much as blacks do! Like Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman and other blacks have said, it all comes down to PARENTING!! You only get out what you put in!!

[Chris776]

I was told not to hang around with the natives.
So my best friend all through school was a native guy.
Then I was told not to bring home a native girl. When she came out of my room in the morning my parents just said "Hello." 😅
I cured them of racism.

[Jammaa]

By thay you mean native what? American?

[Chris776]

Yeah, well I'm in Canada so they refer to themselves as Native or Metis if they're mixed.
I also married a Metis woman and have a mixed race child.
It's funny how things work out.
I honestly think it was my older sister who taught me at a young age not to listen to my mom about that. I would play with the Native kids next door. My sister told me that they just have darker skin, it doesn't matter and not to listen to my parents.
I guess it stuck with me.

[Jammaa]

Nice. What a smart sister. Just curious, how much older is she?

[Chris776]

Oh, sorry I was away for a while.
My sister is 6 years older than me and she did teach me lots of things.
That was like back in the 1980's too. It is impressive that she took time to steer me in the right direction.
I think she was close friends with an Asian girl in Jr. High and witnessed how she may have been treated differently. Anyway, I'm thankful that my sister let me know that it was okay to play with the native kids and stay overnight at their house.
She definitely had an impact on me.

[Jammaa]

That's pretty cool. Why did your parents not like natives? Which part of Canada by the way?

[Chris776]

I live in Alberta.
The area we lived in was surrounded by Native Reservations. Reserves were land that was delegated to be Native land by the government a long, long time ago.
The problem back then was that Reserves had a lot of poverty, alcoholism and drugs.
So the encounters that my parents had with natives were unfortunately, mostly guys that were intoxicated or families that struggled.
I think they felt like I might end up a drunk or on drugs or something if I hung around Natives.
I did party a lot as a teenager, but it definitely wasn't because I was friends with natives, I was plenty good at drinking just from my own issues.
Anyway, they just had a very limited view of other races.
I was fortunate to grow up around and go to school with Natives and some Asian kids.
Over time my parents got to know and respect my best friend who was native.
Eventually they loved my ex wife who was Metis (Maybe more than they loved me). 😅
They love my son and he's got brown skin too, he's a great kid.
My dad passed away, my older sister is actually dating an Asian guy now and we all get along and love each other.

[Jammaa]

Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing Chris!

[Chris776]

No problem, it helped me to remember how influential and helpful my older sister was.
We don't talk much these days and I feel like I should value my time with her more.
She helped shape who I am and I'm thankful. 🙂

[Woman1]

We didn’t really cover the topic of racism too much, but it was enough that we were aware. I am white and grew up surrounded by other white people. My parents made sure that we recognized our privileges and that we knew what was happening in the world outside of our home.

[Dinklex3]

I was taught to treat people with kindness.
Race didn't matter when I was growing up as a kid and I grew up in a predominantly white small town.

[IAMNathanael]

I was just taught to be kind to people in general, regardless of skin color. Because people are people. I was never told anything like "be nice to that black kid, or else you'll be in big trouble!".

[jamesgoldman]

They never taught me anything in either direction but I have friends from all over the world so I'm doing fine enough to bypass the biased MSM for the news I don't know in-depth

[snackthatsmilesback]

They tried to teach me racism was bad. You know how kids are tho so I learned more fr from friends later.

[NathanDavis]

No need to teach anything, they are just regular decent people.

[ODC2112]

My parents taught me to respect other people. Whether they are of a different color or culture or religion from mine as long as they do not prove aggressive towards me.

[EnglishEuropean]

My parents were bleeding-heart liberals. They were the kind of white folks who think that POC needs white support and validation.

That's a form of racism by the way.

[Luckycharms12]

Treat people how you like to be treated race or religion doesn't matter we are all human. That's way I was thought

[Anonymous]

..

[mrkdvsn]

Nothing other than... all people are people to be nice to and respect (I guess).

[JesseJayNeak]

Racism is bad. We're different but at we're still the same

[moejoeloli]

Everyone is equal given the same equity

[Jammaa]

Do you think that's good, bad or nothing at all about racism?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Racism is bad
