Black on White Racism...

Postby Vilatania » Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:40 am

Is this sort of discussion allowed? It's certainly a real thing and becoming a serious issue in the United States.

This sort of discussion is allowed, but you might want to expand your OP to give us more background on the issue and to elaborate on your feelings.

It is allowed, but will it gather positive effects for the people involved? I don't think so.

Racism knows no boundaries.

But "Black on White Racism" is not "becoming a serious issue in the United States". Old rich white dudes hold the balance of power, and aren't going to lose it any time soon. A slight slip in the crushing dominance of the current hegemony is not an example of something "becoming a serious issue".

I don't see racism anywhere. All I see is political correctness, and thugs who get shot when they attack a police officer/resist arrest.
Yeah I don't think blacks are racist against whites. Some may be frustrated with history. But not racist very often.

I also think America is becoming paranoid about racism. Like Iran invading Iraq and getting nuclear energy. But seriously, it doesn't seem like a big problem. People may see it everywhere, but it isn't there. They only think it is. (most of the time)

I didn't want to elaborate before knowing if the discussion was permitted. Moderative action seems to be rather trigger happy here, though not as bad as Nexus Mods forums.

I want to iterate before you read any of this, that I have black friends. All of which I respect and are very good people who would never harm or try to take advantage of other people. This is about the bad ones.

On a regular basis I encounter black and on white racism in the form of:

- Employment Discrimination (i.e. Blacks often receive preferential treatment during the hiring process because a quota exists in the backround in order to avoid being labeled as being racially discriminative. You can't be not hired because of your race, but you can be hired because of it.

-Utilizing the color of their skin as a method to gain sympathy, making themselves victims when they really aren't. Instances such as a white man yells at a black man for cussing out a cashier in line at Walmart. The black man accuses the white man of being racist. Don't laugh, this really happens.

-Utilizing slavery as an excuse to be violent. There are ALOT of cases often not reported by main stream media like Fox where a black man or woman has attacked a white man or woman on the grounds that they are somehow responsible for slavery. I was once approached by a black employee at my former work during my lunch break who, in front of several other employees proceeded to interrogate me about why I enslaved his people. I told him it was a horrible thing, but that I wasn't there and wasn't responsible. He said "but your white".

-Blacks hyping white on black racism, where it is not occurring. Now we all know white on black racism still exists, but not anywhere near the extent in which is claimed by movements and speakers, or even your average neighbor. In many cases the racism against blacks is caused by the "bad" ones making all the rest of them look bad. The ones you see wondering the streets at night, breaking glass bottles and shooting people. This particular fact is ignored, and the focus is placed soley on the white man who doesn't like black guys. The result is that black on white racism is largely ignored and not really all that well known to the average family because everyone still thinks that white on black racism is the only real problem.

I... really would rather not touch this thread. I don't see it going well.

However, racism is possible (and extant) from many groups to many other groups, and yes, the racism referred to does exist in the United States.

But if you would like to truly examine the phenomenon, perhaps it would be better to look outside of the United States to some other countries.

I don't understand the similarity. The racism 'apparently' is the indirect result of past transgressions in America. I don't see how an outside example would help in this discussion.

As a Canadian-Malaysian who visibly looks white, you guys don't really know Black on White Racism until you've been to downtown Kota Kinabalu. Shit's ridiculous. The amount of times I was called "white sandy bitch devil" was off the charts.

Black on white racism doesn't exist.It's an excuse to divert attention from the true racism that still exists, white on Black racism.

dont get me wrong, I did not mean that literary there is no racism against whites. But given the historical context maybe it is ok to tolerate a little bit criticism toward whites.
