Why do some say there's anti-white racism?

[Anonymous]

Like seriously, it doesn't exist. They don't experience police brutality, biased courts, or false accusations. It's easy for a white man to trust because he doesn't have to worry about a female falsely accusing him.

[WhiteSteve]

Depends on the definition, I suppose. We’ve gotten away from the word “prejudice”, and I think it’s time it came back, because it’s a good way to differentiate.

Anyone can experience racial PREJUDICE. If I interact with someone who isn’t white, and they aren’t nice to me, or don’t give me some kind of a break, based upon me being white, would be “prejudice”, not “reverse racism.”

RACISM, as we talk about it today, is more about institutional construction that makes equality near-impossible, or at least extremely challenging. This evolves over time, and isn’t the same as it was in 1850, which wasn’t the same as 1950, and isn’t the same as today. It no longer comes in legal form, and is more disdainful of perceived culture than physical characteristics in a vacuum. We’re past slavery and segregation and “Whites Only”, and “so-and-so” need not apply signs…. but it’s FAR from over. Just spend an hour reading this site, lmao.

This can now be more about gerrymandering voting districts, false narratives that non-citizens (only non-white ones) are voting, deliberately creating more rigid or difficult standards to vote in some deliberately targeted precincts, people generally having stereotypes about work ethic or aptitude…. like anytime you hear “DEI hire” you can be certain you’re talking to a racist, it’s usually a white person suggesting that a not-white person could never conceivably be hired for a non-menial job UNLESS it was due to unfair hiring policy.

They don’t say it in so many words (sometimes), but underlying attitude is that “OBVIOUSLY anyone who isn’t a white man couldn’t POSSIBLY be the best candidate!” That, in and of itself, is textbook racism, even just having that thought cross your mind. The assumption on its own is 10/10 ignorant as fuck. Even in situations where there’s some kind of a failure, the assumption that it’s because they weren’t white or weren’t a man is so mind-numbingly stupid that I can’t believe it gets said out loud.

But here’s the thing, common from a straight white guy in America: a huge portion of straight white guys in America are bitchmade. They want to be told their shortcomings in life are everyone else’s fault but their own. “You can’t get a job because of immigrants.” “You aren’t safe in public because of minority demographics.” “You can’t get promoted because of DEI.” These are all incredibly fucking stupid things to think, but what we’re up against is that incredibly fucking stupid people seem to largely not be aware of how incredibly fucking stupid they are, and to the contrary seem to think their smart, which is just…. WOW😂😂😂 It’s literally why America is in the position it’s about to be in in a month.

People don’t like taking personal accountability. That’s a pretty common problem in general. And one of the ways that manifests itself is this very idea that you’re some temporarily embarrassed millionaire who should be in a mansion, but you got screwed out of it, by someone you perceive as culturally different than you. That’s what the money-drunk millionaires and billionaires you just handed the car keys to want you to believe. Those guys are your REAL enemy, and the reason any of us are financially suffering. LOL if you think the reason is “DEI” or social safety nets, you’re the biggest marks in America🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Double LOL if you think Trump or Elon or any of these other clowns have ANY interest in getting you to where they are. This was a power grab by corporate oligarchs, and y’all just fucking handed it to them because y’all are dumb as shit. I’m sorry, but I can’t pull that punch. You’re all stupid, and we all might be fucked now. And I’ll never forgive, nor quietly let them forget, if and when this manifests itself.

These people are ultimately crybabies, and they’re rooting for themselves and their own race to make it, while everyone else fights over the scraps. That’s how they want it. They perceive everyone else as “unworthy.” And that’s all inherently prejudiced, racist, idiotic, whatever you want to call it. Not my line, but it’s been said “When you’ve been an oppressor for so long, a move towards equality feels like oppression to you.”, or something to that effect.

[WhiteSteve]

*and to the contrary seem to think THEY’RE smart

…. as I’m calling people stupid🤦‍♂️😂

To make it stop, you have to acknowledge that they go through racism, too. I am not talking about equivalency or comparing racism with each other; I am just saying they go through it, too. So, instead of comparing and saying the person has no right to be upset with their experiences, you should try to acknowledge it even though you can't fully relate to the racism they feel. The reason they feel there is anti-white racism is because of what you're doing right now: you're comparing yourself to someone else and being a victim instead of hearing them out.

In the past, Germans and Italians were considered two different races. Now, they are grouped together as White. A lot of them lose their identities in the process. They are just called white, taking away all the struggles the Italian people had suffered through in the past.

They were the poor immigrants that everyone treated like trash and they weren't consider white. Irish people were slaves. There are people that are consider white that had a diffcult past like Albanians who were constantly being killed by Serbians.

Again, not comparing or talking about the equivalency of racism acknowledges that they have dealt with it, too. Even the Vikings and the Roman Empire enslaved white people.

[Anonymous]

Because despite of what Americans believe then racism isn't - discrimination. Racism can and often leads to discrimination of minorities (systematic racism/discrimination), that is rooted within the ideology of racism: which is the believe that ones race is superior than others due to any imaginary standards.

I'm a xenophobe and that's because I believe everyone is better than the US citizen.

[Lliam]

Because of books like "White Fragility" by Robin Diangelo (2018) and numerous other books that began to be published around the same time with themes like "White Privilege" etc.

Race bating by Democrats beginning during the Obama Administration even though he was elected by an overwhelming majority.

BLM, the 1619 Project, etc.

"Don't be so white" by Coca Cola.

Some African Americans act like normal human beings and are totally cool, but some blacks in this day and age are prejudiced against whites.

And some whites (latte-liberal Democrats) buy into the narrative that whites (or at least non-Democrats) are inherently racist, privileged, white supremacist, etc, etc, bla, bla, bla. They are totally full of shit.

[Anonymous]

You clearly don't understand the definition of racism. Let me help you out. Below is the actual definition. It you don't think white people experience it from other races, you're a fucking idiot.

"Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group"

[exitseven]

Yes it exists. White people go to the end of the line if they want financial aid for college or want a government job. Also, have you ever seen a white person use an EBT card in the supermarket?

[IamRight]

Also remember race based affirmative college admissions, which only recently got abolished, racist both ways. White people got discriminated because whoever was in charge belived people of other races were too stupid to get in on equal terms.

[Asker]

@IamRight Well, it was white females that benefitted the most from Affirmative Action. Like 99% of the time.

[MarjorieJ]

Affirmative action is racist.

[exitseven]

@MarjorieJ it is racist by its very definition.

[MarjorieJ]

And yet people can’t seem to figure that out.

[IamRight]

@MarjorieJ Leftists can’t figure things out if it benefits their argument to not be able to. Same thing with genders. Can’t define a woman yet treat you like the scum of the earth if you hold transgenders to the same standard.

So of course they don’t see affirmative action as racist. Some leftists even thinks there are contexts where genocide of jews is acceptable

[MarjorieJ]

@IamRight
White people get shit on all the time.

[WhiteSteve]

I’ve seen literally hundreds of white people use EBT cards, what are you talking about? 44.6% of recipients of SNAP benefits are non-Hispanic White

[IamRight]

@MarjorieJ Yup, you are right.

[exitseven]

@WhiteSteve I have never seen a white person use an EBT card; I applied for food stamps a long time ago and all I got was a blank stare and a bunch of excuses so thanks for nothing.

[WhiteSteve]

Then you’re doing fine and don’t need any help.

Let me ask you: you DO realize that “the point of life” isn’t to roll out of bed everyday and be a “productive worker” for your country, right? You DO realize the measure of a human’s quality isn’t what they can do for the rest of us? The point of life isn’t building great societies or inventing shit. If we do, great. But if we don’t, that doesn’t make us a less valuable human, and doesn’t mean we should be left to die, in a civilized society? You’ve been completely brainwashed by our corporate masters to think your life’s purpose is to generate goods or services in exchange for currency. That whole system is a fabrication and an abandonment of intended life on Earth.

[exitseven]

@WhiteSteve No, I was living at the poverty level for a family of 4. If we had to spend 50 bucks on a doctors visit for one of the kids we could not go to the supermarket that week. We used to go to a supermarket that closed on Sunday/ We went on Saturday night because they would mark the meat down because it would be spoiled by Monday. We might buy some hamburger or a chicken for the week and we would see minorities with shopping carts full of steaks and roast, lots of snack food and soda too. She would throw down a book of food stamps and blow through the register. The boyfriend would be waiting outside in a new car with 3 or 4 little kids.

[WhiteSteve]

I’m sorry if you didn’t get stamps and needed them, but I HIGHLY doubt anyone at the DTA office denied you solely because you’re white.

There’s no telling what the other family’s situation was. They may have been shopping for the month, and you were shopping for the week. The boyfriend with the new car might be unaffiliated. Maybe dude had a hustle on the side, that shit happens. And it’s probably leased. It could also be an imprudent purchase and they’re going without in some other arena. Bottom line: I’ve known a ton of people on public assistance over the course of my life, and not one of them supports the Ronald Reagan “welfare queen” stereotype. They lived DEAD BROKE, Section 8 slumlord housing, raggedy neighborhood.

And the bottom line is that in an evolved, advanced, WEALTHY society of our own, basic human needs, and even that next echelon of “it would be nice to have”, should be on some weird exclusionary reward system. That’s just so fucking weird to me, that we want to make sure only some people get to enjoy things, based on what the do for a job. That’s SO fucking weird, this whole “strict father”, “made your bed now you have to lay in it” punitive mentality. I’ll never in my life understand that, and why anyone of need to be competitive in our lifestyle quality to begin with.

[WhiteSteve]

@WhiteSteve I have been paying taxes since I was 17 and got my first job out of high school. I have paid into the system my whole life and the few times I applied for some help paying college tuition or getting some assistance with food stamps it is always the same old bullshit. Some bureaucrat makes up a bunch of excuses why some minority group that votes democrat gets the benefits and I get denied. I put myself through college even though it took me 12 years to do it and I put my 3 kids through college and deferred home improvement projects and drove around in old vehicles. Now the government wants me tp pay for everybody else;s kid to go to college. We cannot get Biden out of the White House fast enough.

[WhiteSteve]

But life in an organized society shouldn’t just be “every man for himself.” We can do that in the wild, fine. But we CHOOSE to have society, and we have to take drawbacks with the benefits if we want it. I promise you you’d hate America if we had millions of millions of people financial desperate. It wouldn’t look like the America you know today.

I think you’re reading too much Howie Carr, like my dad, lmao

[exitseven]

@WhiteSteve Howie is one of the beautiful people now.

[Twalli]

You can be racist against white people. It exists. We don't have societal anti white racism though. That's what you're saying. I do agree with thst, but saying that anti white racism doesn't exist us patently untrue.

[NaultD]

There is a difference in personal one on one racism vs systemic racism.

[jshm2]

Some Karens just love the attention of being the "victim".

[Graptemys79]

I doubt there has never been a white person who has faced police brutality or a white person who has not received a false criminal accusation.

[seeyounexttuesday]

lmao. This is the gayest trolling I've read in a while

[Anonymous]

It absolutely exists. Most people who get falsely accused of rape don't get in any legal trouble. Their reputation will take a hit and they might get fired, but that's the extent of it.

[Pterodon]

No instead we experience legal discrimination called affirmative action

[OddBeMe]

Being forced to share equality can feel like oppression.

[dustybiker2]

lol.

[OddBeMe]

@dustybiker2 forcing equality is an oxymoron

[dustybiker2]

'Tis

[Dargil]

Because there is.

[IamRight]

Because it exists.
