“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” Martin Luther King Jr.

[Lliam]

100%. I think MLK and virtually all of the civil rights leaders would be appalled by the anti-white rhetoric that has arisen over the past few years. They understood that not all "white" people were enemies.

I Have a Dream (1963)

"The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone."

"In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

“I have a dream that one day... little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”

I was one of those who marched for civil rights during the 1960s. I could tell endless stories about my friendships and interactions with "black" people in my life, how I respected some tremendously, and how we treated each other as human beings without any thought of race or color. Many of them had grown up during segregation and were still some of the most outstanding people I ever met.

All this racist, anti-white rhetoric is counterproductive. I believe it is being stirred by unimaginably wealthy and powerful forces (globalists) who want to tear this country apart by pitting people against each other.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, brother.

[Juxtapose]

Certainly 👍

[DextroShade]

MLK would be disgusted by the modern woke BLM terrorists.

[OddBeMe]

You’re right. Whites and blacks working together to loot stores.

[Leapfrog00]

I have seen videos of people calling others privileged because they are white. That may be right in some cases, but no one should ever assume someone that. If someone Hispanic or African American has a home, but a white man has no home, the white man is not privileged then. My point is, you never know what someone is else is going through, and if someone has a roof over their head and food to eat, they are the privileged one. That's all a person needs. Everyone judges by how much someone has and how much money they make.

I once saw this award show with this lady saying she came from repression. This lady makes 5 million dollars a year. There are people that can't even afford a meal. People have no idea how good they have it. Yes, I think there is a lot of racism in the world, especially the U. S, and it's really bad with the older people.

Everything in life is based off of luck. People often think I'm gay because of how I talk. They just assume it, so I get judged by my voice. That's not much different than being judged by skin color. It's just the voice instead. Maybe some gay people have a lisp, but straight people have one also. The world is full of ignorance and stupidity, It's so off balance and people are fed so many lies because they are told what to belief.

I only believe what I want to believe and not what others tell me. There may be truth to some statements, or they may not be.

[Exterminatore]

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times that to label all white people as automatically racist, oppressors of all other races and privileged upon birth is not keeping in line with this MLK quote:


“I have a dream that one day my 4 little children will grow up in a nation where they are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”


For all the cries from the Woke folk who claim white people are blind to their racism and privilege they sure have a funny way of being blind themselves.


Anyone who wants to argue, let’s have at it, but don’t bother trying to convert me to the Woke religion. I’d literally rather be dead then be in league with you people and you’re twisted teachings.

[goaded]

That'd be a great response if anyone had ever said that white people are automatically racist.

[Exterminatore]

You have got to be kidding me. You have never heard that said?

[goaded]

Do you think black people say that about you?

[Exterminatore]

Allow me to educate you. You know what I hate about left wingers and Woke folk? They love to cherry pick. They never investigate the full measure of any theory or ideology connected to them. I’ll copy and past links and excerpts for you.

What bothers me even more is you folks seem unable to objectively observe the stance and sentiments of the folks in your political circles EVEN if they don’t say anything overtly. As a group you seem unable to asses motives, underlying expectations and intents of people in general.

nmaahc.si.edu/.../whiteness

From that article 1st paragraph:

Whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity throughout America's history have created a culture where nonwhite persons are seen as inferior or abnormal.

Copy that. So whiteness is evil.

[Exterminatore]

I think many of them do, yeah, but certainly not all of them. I think many whites also say this, as do some in other races.

[Exterminatore]

Then there’s this quote:

WHAT IS WHITE PRIVILEGE?
Privilege, particularly white or male privilege, is hard to see for those of us who were born with access to power and resources.

From this article:

www.american.edu/.../...anding-white-privilege.pdf

Copy that, so only white people are born with privilege and power.

[Exterminatore]

Then we have this:

This article focuses on the tension that

The title of this article:

Copy that. White women crying oppressed black people.

[Exterminatore]

I saved the best for last:

An elite Manhattan school is teaching white students as young as 6 that they’re born racist and should feel guilty benefiting from “white privilege,” while heaping praise and cupcakes on their black peers.

From this article:

nypost.com/.../

Take note that’s the NY Post, so you can’t go claiming this is a fringe right wing propaganda article. The NY Post is arguably left wing.

[Exterminatore]

So, yeah. That’s what they’re saying, that white people are born racists and oppressors of every other race.

[goaded]

"The NY Post is arguably left wing" LOL
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/new-york-post/
i0.wp.com/.../rightcenter011.png

And a spring 2007 paper in a journal with a circulation of 1,200? That's how desperate you have to be to find anything to make your case?

"Whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity"
Is not saying white people are evil, it's saying American society has developed with a pro-white bias. You literally have a Republican political candidate saying the Tulsa race massacre should be taught without mentioning race. In the last year or so, three White men were convicted of murdering a Black man, when the local DA had decided not to even arrest and charge them for killing him.

"Copy that, so only white people are born with privilege and power. "
That's not even close to what the quote says.

[Exterminatore]

Whiteness and…. whiteness and….

What exactly are you saying? Whiteness is being white.

[Exterminatore]

The paper implies non white people are not born with power and resources by virtue of the context.

[Juxtapose]

Yeah there is a lot of anti-white sentiment among the far left.

[Juxtapose]

But yeah goaded, he did show you "anyone" saying white people are automatically racist. Are you going to say he has a good response now?

[goaded]

I'd say he misinterpreted what was being said, which were naturally generalisations and definitely not saying things like "only white people are born with privilege and power" or "whiteness is evil", no matter how much he wants to paint white people as the victims in American society.

White people, in general, have advantages over Black people in American society. Of course there are exceptions, but they're just that: exceptions.

[Exterminatore]

@goaded

There is no misinterpretation about the statement that kids are being taught they are born racist.

The larger context is also irrelevant.

The bottom line is it is being taught that if you are white you were born a racist. Period. Amen. We can play word salad with the rest of the article but it just doesn’t matter. You can’t cover up or change the statement. It speaks for itself. So does what was said about “Whitness” so does whites women crying oppressing black women. There’s no explaining these things away and the more you attempt to the more you show yourself to hate your own race because you feel that makes amends for events that happened 150 years ago and for some reason feel guilty about it.

[Exterminatore]

The race baiters and left wingers NEVER mention other races in connection with blacks. Only white. That’s all blacks mention too.

Not listening to your attempt to explain away the things that were said in these articles. You know very well this is anti white racism. You know it’s directed at whites.

@OddBeMe has a very similar ideology to yours. He openly espouses reverse racism against whites as he believes it’s the only way to make progress regarding this matter.

Why not just do the same? If you think I can’t see through the intents of the people who wrote that article and know it’s all about racism against whites you’re sorely mistaken. We can play word salad all we want trying to add fluff to the things said, but they can’t be unsaid and you know full well this is all about attacking whites. Don’t pretend it isn’t.

[goaded]

"There is no misinterpretation about the statement that kids are being taught they are born racist. There is no misinterpretation about the statement that kids are being taught they are born racist."
Nobody is born racist. You've found one outlier and are pretending it's normal.

How many kids (and adults) are being taught they're superior to Black people? You have a US Senator who is literally saying that White Nationalists (who, by definition, believe that Whites are superior to other races) are just "Americans". "If" they hold racist beliefs, which is precisely what defines them, then he repudiates them. He obviously doesn't believe that believing Whites are superior to other races is racist. It's not some dickhead online like you, this is a US Senator who has single-handedly has used his power to stop the USMC having a confirmed head for the first time in well over a century.

[Exterminatore]

Dude, I’m not listening. It’s anti white racism pure and simple. Own it. Admit it. This is what you’re people do. These are what they teach.

[goaded]

I know you're not listening, it's obvious.

[NYCQuestions1976]

Accurate, minus two details.

1.) I'm willing to make an educated guess that the vast majority of Caucasian Americans have never been called racist or privileged by non-Caucasian Americans just because they happen to be Caucasian. It just doesn't happen. That rhetoric is almost exclusively generated and disseminated by other Caucasian Americans who are far-left lunatic liberals with fashionable faux guilt complexes. They need therapy.

2.) There is no "white privilege" in the United States. It's GREEN Privilege. If you have Green (money) in the United States, you have privilege. Period.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

This can happen to white people as well as anyone of any race. I was in Walmart in my area, this woman was Hispanic and had kids, so I'm sitting on this bench. I decide to move down to give her room. She looked at me like I was trash, so all I did was except it and yes it really hurt me inside because I accept all people.

[JoeMichael67]

She probably assumed you moved down because you didn't want to sit too close to her.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@JoeMichael67 She looked at me and spoke to her children in her language

[BoopBoopBeep]

Classy. I wonder how many people would recognize the person though. Not the ones who should be, I'm afraid.

[Juxtapose]

Jesus christ, am I already that old?

[BoopBoopBeep]

No I just think people are really dumb.

[Juxtapose]

True. With a lot of people I would be surprised if they even know who the president is 😂

[BoopBoopBeep]

"Uhm... it's a rapper... right?"

That's why I live in the woods. And day drink.

[Exterminatore]

@boop

I not only wonder how many will recognize him but also the quote that statement comes from.

Bunch of ignorant wretches we have running around this country and in Europe also. Which is even more ironic cause the Woke folk love to denounce conservatives of being uneducated.

I bet Nazis called non Nazis uneducated too.

Indoctrination and education are one in the same to these Woke clowns.

[BoopBoopBeep]

@Exterminatore We spend so much on education just to crank out the dumbest kids in the free world. They can recite all 43 genders but can't balance a household budget and think gender studies degrees are worth 6 figures of debt.

[Exterminatore]

@boop

Damn right!

[AviatorTom]

First thing I notice is that "privileged" is misspelled.

Then I read the whole thing... absolutely right... and totally against MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

[Juxtapose]

True, I noticed that after I posted the image but oh well.

Yes, let's not judge by color.

[Apple1996]

It's the truth. People often forget that they can be racist towards white people too

[Juxtapose]

Completely agreed!

[Alli39]

It's not entirely wrong and points to an issue I do see arise in response to racial tensions in the US. (Like, I to believe in systematic racism, etc, but I also believe we make it personal in ways that it shouldn't be if we want to promote healthy engagement and problem solving)

[ShesRad80]

its correct, as MLK once said judge a man not by the color of his skin but the content of his character. and he championed for that

[Jamie05rhs]

Thank you. As a poor white person, this is something that has always rubbed me the wrong way. Like, if I'm so privileged, why didn't I ever have video games? Why didn't I get to go to college? Why don't I have nice clothes? Why don't I ever get to eat steak? Why don't I have a "summer house"? Why have I never traveled to Europe?

[AngryCarl2]

My first thought is that it's calling out the racism of the extreme left. MLK campaigned for freedom and equality. He never demonized people for being white.

[stepyo99]

MLK was a criminal and a womanizer who would have his lackeys stoke riots and unrest before he came into town to create this image of a peacemaker for himself. Who cares what he thinks?

[RealMarek]

True, which might partially explain why King is not highly thought of in academic circles.

[goaded]

Ignoring things that are inherently racist is racist. Legacy students are unsurprisingly predominantly white.

[goaded]

White people in America are more likely to be privileged, because they have been born to parents who are more likely to be wealthy. Nobody is saying you're bad for "choosing" better parents to be born to, they're simply pointing out that not everybody has parents like yours.

[Juxtapose]

You are judging people by the color of their skin.

[goaded]

No, I'm pointing out a fact. How is that "judging" anyone?

[Juxtapose]

Okay, so should I view black people as more criminal inherently?

[goaded]

No, because it's not inherent, it's a product of society.

[Juxtapose]

Oh so when it's something that's unfavorable towards black people all of a sudden you don't like it anymore?

Judging people by the color of their skin is racist, period.

[goaded]

Maybe you should learn what words mean before you try to use them.

[Juxtapose]

You are literally judging people because they belong to a specific race. That is racism.

You would look at a white man and a black man, and knowing nothing else about them, assume the white man has it better in life. You are racist.

[goaded]

Bullshit. Ignoring things that are inherently racist is racist.

That's what you want to happen.

There have been centuries of overt, government sanctioned racism in the US, from slavery to not even arresting murderers if they're white and a friend of the DA when they kill a Black man. Ignoring that and making no attempt to rectify it is damaging to society.

By the way, everybody knows the MLK quote, it's the only one the right wing like. I prefer this part of the same speech:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_v1h6Zoi-Q

[Juxtapose]

Judging people by the color of their skin is racist. North Africans enslaved white people but I don't see anyone asking for reparations for white people because people are racist against whites. It's all because of this fake narrative by the far left that black people somehow have it harder in America.

[Juxtapose]

There are plenty of places in America where they will kill you if you are white. Stop acting like racism is only for blacks.

[jshm2]

Nope, it isn't.

But it's just a bullshit meme, made for upvotes. Not rational debate.

[Juxtapose]

Judging people by the color of their skin is racist.

[JCT666]

I mean, that's just common sense. Even if the woke bullies refuse to comprehend that.

[TonyMetal___86]

I think that all humans are humans and equal no matter what their color is...

[exitseven]

definitely Photoshopped but Dr King really did feel that way.

[Twalli]

Not exactly, because society is doing it. The fact is, racial privilege exists. Whites are advantaged in the US. It's not really a judgment so much as an observation

[Jonnyanalog]

There are advantages for every race. Don’t be fooled into thinking others aren’t. Take for example my son who is a white, middle class male. Top 6% of his high school graduating class, took AP level classes (which counted toward college credit), had a prestigious internship with a defense contractor in high school, works 2 jobs and got nothing for scholarships or grants.
An intern at a former employer who was Mexican, got enough scholarship money to where he was paid to go to school. And he wasn’t even that good of an intern or student (by the way he described his own life on campus). There are countless others like him out there who get special privilege and scholarships because of race, ethnicity, etc. rather than the depth of their character, achievement, etc.

[Surely]

It is what is under the skin that makes a person.

[CaptainSmartass]

I agree. MLK spoke sense. We'd do well to remember his speech.

Simples...

[alice55]

funny and true

[sheikalana]

Is something that still happens a lot nowadays.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I love how it's in grey.

[FunkyMonkee]

That's absolutely true!

[Christoff92]

Yes that's facts. Would perfectly agree with it.

[OddBeMe]

They spelled privileged wrong

[Juxtapose]

Yep.

[OddBeMe]

But true. That’s why historical baggage is important.

[Juxtapose]

Don't judge people by the color of their skin.

[OddBeMe]

No but looking at history and seeing debts are there for certain communities is a good thing.

[Juxtapose]

No, you are judging people by the color of their skin.

[OddBeMe]

No I’m viewing history as relevance, moron.

[Juxtapose]

lol meanwhile you would literally look at two men, one white and one brown, and knowing nothing else about them.. judge them by the color of their skin.

[OddBeMe]

Well we all judge. I’d try not to. But I’m not the govt so I’d just see who fits in my company best. The govt has the job of analyzing communities and seeing which ones need more help.

[Juxtapose]

I don't judge people based on the color of their skin. It's racist and completely unnecessary.

[OddBeMe]

Not recognizing historical racism is racist.

[Juxtapose]

That's a dog whistle for anti-white and anti-black racism where blacks supposably can't get ahead without whites paying for it in some way.

[OddBeMe]

I’m sorry us whities were so bad to blacks? Why are you limiting my speech based on your emotions?

[Juxtapose]

And what about the north Africans that sold the whites?

[Juxtapose]

You judge white people as being automatically more bad and racist and that makes you racist.

[OddBeMe]

I’m judging our govt shitbird.

[Juxtapose]

No, you're judging whites.

[OddBeMe]

So just stating history is judging whites? That’s how you know we had it good.

[Juxtapose]

You do know only a very small minority of rich whites had any ownership of blacks, right? And I don't see you asking for reparations for the Irish and how brutally they were treated. They were enslaved.

[Juxtapose]

You only care about racism when it goes one way.

[OddBeMe]

Irish weren’t enslaved. Know how I know? Historical documents refer to them as people.

[Juxtapose]

That.. doesn't actually mean anything. I could be a billionaire employing people and call them insignificant specks while giving them millions versus enslaving someone and calling them my dearest darling.

[Juxtapose]

Slavery is not determined by what name they fucking call you lol.

[OddBeMe]

It’s determined by what the law calls you dumbass. Seriously you’re out of your depth here.

[Juxtapose]

No, it's not.

[Juxtapose]

The government is the last institution I would trust in that. Do you think they call those people supplying Nike shoes slaves?

[OddBeMe]

Sorry but legal system has labels for all of us. And you are either protected or not protected BECAUSE of those labels.

You should read up on your holocaust history as majority of Jews were killed only when they lost legal protection from any state. SS camps were a stateless zone run by a party organization. Not govt.

[Juxtapose]

Do you think I give a single fuck what the legal system says? And the Jews were killed by the state so it doesn't really matter what they were called, that's a stupid argument.

[Juxtapose]

And legal labels mean jack shit because power is going to do what power wants. Cops know about the Constitution but they violate it routinely.

[OddBeMe]

“The Jews were killed by the state”

I just told you the SS was a party organization not a state organization. It’s like you’re mentally handicapped.

And “don’t give a fck what the legal system says”

Sounds like an anarchist from Jan 6 about to be sentenced to 14 years in prison. Do you care now?

[OddBeMe]

Because a “prisoner of the state” is not a “citizen of the state”…. since we’re talking government labels.

[Juxtapose]

The government literally killed the Jews and they had to surrender in war, are you high?

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. I am not afraid of these cretans.

[OddBeMe]

This is where I said you were out of your depth. I’ve read recent reports about the holocaust and it was intentionally kept away from the “government” officially. Of course Hitler ordered it. But that’d be like Biden ordering his campaign manager to get him a pizza. Non govt.

The SS was not a govt organization. Does that sink in? Do you get that sweetheart?

[Juxtapose]

Hahaha suuure, 6 million Jews and millions of other people were murdered without the government knowing about it.

[Juxtapose]

You're off your rocker.

[OddBeMe]

Dude I just said Hitler ordered it. He was the govt. But govt forces didn’t do much toward the holocaust. The SS did. Did you fail to understand my Biden pizza example? I’m worried about your comprehending skills.

[Juxtapose]

Ah, so Hitler did it all on his own without any help from the power structure he took over?

BS.

[Juxtapose]

At this point you are playing semantic games with me.

[OddBeMe]

Yes because semantics is how we dictate history and what went right and what went wrong.

Lesson: Hitler uses the government to enact T4 to murder disabled Germans. This has severe negative reactions. Thus Hitler does everything outside the government. With Himmler and the SS.
