Racism is a power relationship for which the Europeans got the headstart--- indiscriminate slaughter of native Americans, 2 billion acres of free Indian land issued by the government, and systemic/institutional racism. Massive wealth and power were mal-distributed to whites. Is the rape victim responsible for the acts of the rapist?
In his book, "Powermomics," Dr. Claud Anderson states, that racism is a wealth and power-base competitive relationship between Blacks and non-Blacks. The sole purpose of racism is to support and ensure that the White majority and it's ethnic subgroups continue to dominate and use Blacks as a means to produce wealth and power. Centuries of Black enslavement and Jim Crow semi-slavery resulted in the majority of society becoming 99-foot giants and Blacks one-foot midgets. This massive inequality in wealth and resources made Blacks non-competitive and totally dependent upon Whites for the necessities of life. True racism exists only when one group holds a disproportionate share of the wealth and power over another group and then uses those resources to marginalize, exploit, and subordinate the weaker group. In America, it is Whites who use wealth and power to marginalize, exploit, and subordinate Blacks. Whites can deny Blacks employment, educational opportunities, business resources, and a place to live or the right to vote. Therefore, according to this definition, Black people can not be racist. No group of Blacks has the power or exclusive control of resources to the degree that they can educationally, politically, economically ĺand socially exploit and marginalize the White race. Blacks can only react to racism and try to alter the conditions that racism creates. Despite the realities, there are numerous conservative Blacks who act as apologists for White racism and confuse the issue. A conservative Black radio talk show host in Los Angeles, for example, charges that Blacks are racist as Whites. His desire for white approval, as well as his ignorance of history, impedes him from understanding that White racism and Black prejudice are not the same thing. Blacks have a reason for their feelings about Whites based on how they have been treated by Whites. The White race, on the other hand, has never been marginalized by the Black race. Racism reinforces the legacies of slavery and Jim Crow semi-slavery. Blacks have been unable to escape from those legacies because the majority of society acknowledges the operation of racism in the distant past but minimizes its present significance."
Not seedy, but old. With a delightful conversation concerning local high school football, the harvesting of corn silage, tractor and combine maintenance, sweet potato harvesting, local tribal events, local historic events, French fur trappers in the early 1800's, and a couple of kids kicking a ball.
Where upon the uncivilized arrived and put on a loud display of their culture. Cementing a vision of the stereotype deep into the psyche of the audience.
The good ole boys from my neighborhood are playing poker at my home tonight and are laughing at you. You're on my big-screen TV. They are wondering if you hunt. Lol!!!!
I see you are still desperately seeking excuses for degenerate antisocial behavior.
Although the "Whitey made me do it" excuse might have explained some of this in years gone by, this is now the 21st century. And that argument is played out.
What happened to you? A handsome and we'll do black guy f'ked your wife. You couldn't deal with the trauma of your shortcomings? You're an obsessed slob who's afraid to show a pic of himself. You're on a fast trip of no return, an old dilapidated white man waiting for nature to do its job.
Thomas Sowell: "Recent scholarship traces the roots of southern violence to the Scots-Irish, who brought a relatively violent “cracker culture” with them to the United States in the eighteenth century. The tolerance for violence inherent in cracker culture was believed to be transmitted throughout the South to other whites and was maintained, in part, through evangelical Christian doctrine.
Some southern blacks were also influenced by “cracker culture,” leading to the emergence of a “black redneck” phenomenon influencing homicide among blacks. Using county-level data circa 2000, this study empirically evaluates the merit of the cracker culture/black redneck thesis. Negative binomial regression analyses for a full sample of counties suggest that a measure of southern cracker/black redneck culture is an important factor affecting contemporary rates of argument homicide among both whites and blacks. When counties are divided into south and non-south sub-samples, the results are also consistent: a cracker/black redneck culture effect is evident for both racial groups in the south and is also apparent outside of the southern region. We interpret these latter findings as possible support for the thesis that southern cracker/black redneck culture has been transported through migration to non-southern localities."
His ancestors- i.e., great Grandpa castrating black men during Jim Crow for sexual gratification. Spiral is probably jerking off in his private shed with pics of blacks being tortured and lynched. I wouldn't be surprised if he has great grandpa's old trophies secreted in Mason jars, swirling around in an alcohol solution. Why were white men at the time so obsessed with the black man's genitals? Genetic annihilation?
3 million African lives were taken during the transatlantic voyage after being kidnapped from their homeland to be free labor for whites, mal-distributing wealth and power to whites---subordinate capitalism! A lowlife white crew of savages often raped African women, including their daughters, Professor Whiney's writings on 'cracker culture?' Thomas Sowell's cogent scholarly writings on cracker culture and its history of violence and transfer of it?
Stereotyping leads to discrimination and discrimination leads to harm, including murder. A young white racist male who vehemently hated blacks recently went to a Dollar Store in Jacksonville, Florida, and shot and killed innocent blacks. He was previously stopped by a security guard from entering an HBCU with the intent to kill blacks. There have been several bomb threats to HBCUs. Furthermore, an armed white racist was caught before entering an HBCU, North Carolina A&T, where my first cousin is the Chancellor. Harold grew up in the South under extreme Jim Crow segregation and violence.
This site is amusing. There is much discussion about the horrible culture in the Black community. On a daily basis, we hear of Guiliani being accused of sexual assault. Trump is a convicted sex offender. MTG cheated on her husband. Boebert gets groped and giggles. These are the proud leaders of Conservatives. The worse thing that could happen to the Black community would be to accept the moral depravity of Conservative culture.
If a guy is caught tapping out sexual code in an airport restroom and argues that he has a wide stance, that man likely represents Conservative culture. If the teenage son of a moralizing woman (women) in politics impregnates another teenager, you can bet that teenager is a product of Conservative culture. When you have low expectation of moral behavior in a group labeling itself a pillar of moral values, a stereotypical, hypocritical Conservative comes to mind.
'Clichés are phrases that have been overused and have lost their meaning. They are often used to describe abstract concepts. For example, "Tomorrow is another day" is a cliché used to describe hope.'
That the white progressive view of blacks is hugely stereotypical should come as a surprise to no one.
But let's not forget to look at things from the other direction. What about black stereotyping of whites? Eddie Murphy did a great comedic job of examining this, back when America had a sense of humor.
It's largely progressive whites I know who are finicky about race.........it's a litmus test in their universe. Yet take a guess what their neighborhoods are like..
You mean like the denizens of "The View"? And note that she reaches back 40 years to what is in fact a daily event that has been going on for many years...
It's amazing, and very encouraging, to experience how "time" and retrospect has helped to bring out the courage and bravery in people to talk about these difficult subjects with more objectivity while still being empathetic to the varied experiences of us as human beings regardless of skin color.
Being someone who was taught "kindness, respect and compassion for others" in my childhood home, my personal nature from a young age has been to be kind to and love people. (I readily admit that my understanding of "love" has matured through the years making "patience" with others part of the formula for "love".) I was taught how to look below the surface to see the beauty that is sometimes hidden by hurt and anger. I was also taught that, as human beings, skin color is only skin deep and that the character of a person is what matters MOST about ANY individual. When cut, everyone bleeds red (or some shade of). We are more alike than we are different.
I was one of those who learned how to ignore the color of someone's skin (as well as their socio-economic status in life, the work they did, the clothes they wore, car they drove or house/home they lived in). Whether black or white, rich or poor, esthetically pleasing to the eye or not, educated or uneducated, the only TRUE measure of a person is how they treat other people. Sixty-five years of personal experience has taught me how very TRUE this premise is.
Each time I read about, hear of or experience the anger, frustration, judgement and insecurity in our human relationships I continue to return to the simplicity of the "Golden Rule" and wonder why some people have such a hard time living by that simple adage. It shouldn't take a Psychology Degree for us to understand that life on this earth is hard at times, we are all unique individuals (not monoliths) with varying life experiences and that we are ALL better off when we do our best to help one another in what ever way we are individually capable.
God never promised us "fairness", but He has given us guidance, insight and wisdom on how we can help to make the world a better place while we live our limited lives. It's not as complex as human beings like to make it: "Do unto others as we would like for them to do unto you" and the world will be a much better place.
And, I might add, give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove you wrong. Even then, Grace and Charity must prevail.
Fundamentally, you're either an equal or you're a special case. There's no way to be both. And since our society wants African Americans to be special cases, there you have it.
Whites don't affirm my existence or essence. Look at the history of your people--- it's extensively documented with horrors against non-whites. African descendants of American slavery are exceptional people. We survived a very brutal white systemic exploitation of our labor---murder, rape, torture, medical experiments without anesthesia, psychological damage, etc. 250 years of slavery, and 100 hundred years of brutal Jim Crow, which maldistributed massive generational wealth and power to "whites". I live in the Deep South, where it continues to be black benign neglect with systemic white racism. A black Fulton County Sheriff has asked several times for money to fix a dilapidated jail where black inmates are mostly housed. There are many needless deaths in this facility. He's also asking that inmates be housed in private facilities where they can receive better medical and mental health treatment. Special treatment by the government? But for the feds, blacks, a very historically vulnerable group, would continue to be in an apartheid system filled with "white supremacist fuckery." States rights? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So says you. EVERY Ivy League university and most higher education institutions tell their students exactly that. And they’re listening to it and believing it.

And here we have Monty. Keepin' the stereotype alive, keepin' it real.
You did mention being at a motel in Wyoming when you encountered unruly black people. I don't stay at seedy motels. Lol!!!!
The good ole boys from my neighborhood are playing poker at my home tonight and are laughing at you. You're on my big-screen TV. They are wondering if you hunt. Lol!!!!
Perhaps, you bit off more than you chew, Bubba?
I'll send a box of Kotex and a bottle of Midol to help you with your severe case of chronic butthurt. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

And as horrible as that was, they were the lucky ones.
And to celebrate their good fortune, I will make a donation, in your name, to the British Royal Navy's Pembroke House.
As a small token of thanks for the Royal Navy ending the Atlantic Slave Trade.
In 2022 about 8,500 black people were murdered. Who killed 90% of them? Hint, not white racists.
Another stereotype with more than a grain of truth.

You're extremely embarrassed by your brutal history and rely on [projection].
Wow so this spiral8802 guy has a brutal history? What did he do?
His ancestors- i.e., great Grandpa castrating black men during Jim Crow for sexual gratification. Spiral is probably jerking off in his private shed with pics of blacks being tortured and lynched. I wouldn't be surprised if he has great grandpa's old trophies secreted in Mason jars, swirling around in an alcohol solution.

I think we found the racist.

Stereotypes might be oversimplified, lazy thinking but, there is much more than a grain of truth in them.

There's an old expression, "Stop making SENSE!"

Not sure how your comment relates to mine, but whatever.
