All things Racist...USA edition (4 Viewers)

[Farb]

I was looking for a place to put this so we could discuss but didn't really find a place that worked so I created this thread so we can all place articles, experiences, videos and examples of racism in the USA.

This is one that happened this week. The lady even called and filed a complaint on the officer. This officer also chose to wear the body cam (apparently, LA doesn't require this yet). This exchange wasn't necessarily racist IMO until she started with the "mexican racist...you will never be white, like you want" garbage. That is when it turned racist IMO

All the murderer and other insults, I think are just a by product of CRT and ACAB rhetoric that is very common on the radical left and sadly is being brought to mainstream in this country.

Another point that I think is worth mentioning is she is a teacher and the sense of entitlement she feels is mind blowing.

The Truth about Anti-White Discrimination

Many white Americans feel that discrimination against whites is on the rise. Experiments suggests otherwise

www.scientificamerican.com

No. Why would we want to discuss a unicorn? There is no "anti-white racism" let alone a rise in said activity that doesn't exist. Anti-white racism is yet another illusion that the right has enraged themselves about out of fear of inevitably becoming a minority. Stated plainly, it's a lie. But this time it's a lie coming from the people you support instead of coming directly from you. You've simply bought completely and comfortably into the lie.

Can people be prejudiced against someone for no other reason than the fact that they are white? Of course they can and do. But that doesn't amount to racism, that is if you don't have a clue of the definition of racism which I'm fairly certain you don't.

You should really do yourself a favor and learn the difference between racism and prejudice. You might save yourself some embarrassment. Then again, in order to feel embarrassment, one must have some level of shame which you clearly do not possess.

That Stephen Miller is a piece of work
============================

The deal in early 2021 was hailed by advocates for Black farmers as the most significant piece of legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — about $4 billion in President Biden’s massive pandemic stimulus package to rectify decades of discrimination.

Minority farmers began investing in new machinery and other improvements, anticipating tens of thousands of dollars in government aid.


But today, the landmark deal on behalf of historically disadvantaged farmers is dead — successfully challenged in court by a fledgling conservative organization that argued the program racially discriminated against White farmers.


America First Legal is headed by Stephen Miller, the architect of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigrants.

While AFL lacks the name recognition and financial heft of many conservative counterparts, it has racked up notable court victories over the Biden administration.

Casting itself as “the long-awaited answer to the ACLU,” AFL has weaponized the grievance politics embodied by Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement through dozens of federal lawsuits, challenging efforts to remedy racial disparities, support LGBTQ students and expand the pool of early voters.

AFL-backed suits helped doom a $29 billion program that prioritized struggling female and minority-owned restaurants last year, and last week, a council created by the Department of Education that conservative parents groups viewed as partisan.

AFL has won in part by consistently filing lawsuits in a conservative-friendly judicial district in Texas and taking advantage of a larger federal court system revamped by Trump’s predominantly conservative nominees.

The group’s success is alarming civil rights advocates, who fear Miller has figured out how to harness the courts to protect America’s declining White majority and unravel government policies intended to right historical wrongs against marginalized communities.


“Many of these lawsuits are centered on making sure that White people remain in control and continue to benefit from unearned privileges, and on maintaining the systemic discriminatory policies that have harmed Black people and other people of color for generations,” said David Hinojosa, an attorney with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.

“To argue that White men are being pushed to the back of the line is unfounded and ridiculous. What they’re being asked to do is share a place in line with other people who do not look like them.”.

In an interview, Miller said AFL is filling a void in the conservative legal movement by challenging what he termed “a hyperracialization of American political and corporate life.”

Programs seeking to remedy past injustices and boost historically disadvantaged groups are punishing people based on their skin color, he said.


“I believe that the equity agenda represents one of the single greatest threats to the survival of our constitutional system,” he said……

MIAMI (WSVN) - Six City of Miami firefighters have been fired after investigators said someone hung a noose over a black co-worker’s family photos and drew sexually explicit drawings on them.

The firings come after the noose was found at Fire Station No. 12 on Sept. 8, triggering a police investigation.

According to The Miami Herald, their sources said, “…someone created a noose out of twine and hung it over a family photo of a black lieutenant.”

The Herald’s sources added, “Several of [the lieutenant’s] colleagues drew lewd pictures on several other photos, including one of his wife and one of his mother and his children.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Miami City Manager Daniel Alfonso called the firefighters’ alleged actions “sexually explicit and racially offensive conduct.”

“The images were shocking, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that it’s not new,” said the 17-year Miami Fire Department veteran whose family photos were targetted. “It served the purpose of letting me see how many people really were behind me and sympathized and empithized with what I was experiencing.”............

A 61-year-old Michigan man has pleaded guilty to two federal hate crimes in the intimidation of Black Lives Matter supporters, according to Fox 2 Detroit. Those supporters were Starbucks employees who were granted permission to wear BLM t-shirts. It seems someone took their activism very personally.

Many businesses suffered severe backlash after outwardly showing support for the movement against police brutality following the murder of George Floyd. The very words “Black lives matter” unleashed a sort of unhinged white rage which evidently awakened inside Mr. Kenneth Pilon of Saginaw, Michigan. According to Fox’s report, Pilon was accused of calling up nine Starbucks stores, and harassing employees with racial threats after seeing an announcement allowing them to don BLM t-shirts behind the counter.

Prosecutors say he also threatened to kill Black people and even went the extra mile of putting a noose inside an employee’s vehicle with a note: “An accessory to be worn with your ‘BLM’ t-shirt. Happy protesting!”

If he was that upset, he could have just tried going to Dunkin’ Donuts. Now he’s traded his morning cup for a prison sentence...............

Imagine thinking that you had the right to do that over a shirt. I cannot fathom that level of selfish entitlement.

WEATHERLY — A former employee at Weatherly Area School District distributed a copy of a Facebook post shared by school board President April Walters that read, “I forgot, When is White History month.”

Tyree Harris, Weatherly, who was a paraprofessional for three years, distributed a color copy at the Dec. 7 meeting.

“As an African American male, I will not go for this. There’s no need for that,” Harris said while school board members looked at printed copies of the post, which was dated March 14 but without a year. “That’s ignorant, that’s racist.”

Walters said there is nothing racist about the post, to which Harris replied, “Are you kidding me?”.............

Since you do not know what CRT is you cannot state that this woman’s vulgar words are the result of anything beyond her own hatred.

By her words and her actions (she voted against the CIS white male) she is a disciple of CRT. Just like a person praying the Lord's Prayer and going to church would indicate a horrible very bad Christian.

 

[Farb]

This is specious on its face. It’s Tucker Carlson level gaslighting.

Then explain to me, like I am 5 how someone could consider words equal to violence.

 

[Farb]

Racism derives from power positions. Bigotry can be universal. All racists are bigots, not all bigots are racists. That you don’t like it and snakily whine about is irrelevant.

Thank you Mrs DeAngelo, almost verbatium from you book

You think it is odd that I don't like to hear someone call me 'less'?

Go learn the difference between prejudice and racism and then come talk to me. Anti-white racism is simply a fantasy that you guys are trying to make an actual thing. It's not real. Maybe in about 50 years or so it will be but not now.

Failure again but understandable. The entire premise of racism derives from western white culture. Someday you will understand. Thus bigots can be bigoted in a host of ways. Racism derives from power positions by the very nature of the social construct called “race”. That you don’t agree or like it is irrelevant.

 

[MT15]

Then explain to me, like I am 5 how someone could consider words equal to violence.

So, first of all nobody is saying words are equal to violence. Nobody. This is a common propaganda tactic however, to change up and/or overstate what someone is saying and pretend to argue against what was never stated. It’s not forthright or a sign of someone who is conversing in good faith.

It is also disingenuous (due to the entirety of human history) to pretend that words do not ever lead to violence. We’ve seen it in history over and over, ad nauseum.

But to take a stereotypical example - Hitler couldn’t have just rolled into power and started killing Jewish people. Germany was a fairly free country, it wouldn’t have been tolerated. He had to make the case gradually. With words.

Lots of stories about how Jews were evil money-grubbing traitors to the Fatherland. Examples in the press that were completely made up, or lacked critical context, or were twisted around to prove his point. It got to the point where most people believed that Jews had “stabbed Germany in the back” and caused it to lose WWI. The hatred stirred up was virulent.

Then there started to be a few terroristic attacks on Jewish people, which were celebrated by his party. After all, “they deserved it”. These were increasingly carried out by members of the Nazi Party.

And so on, until nobody batted an eye when he started rounding up Jewish people and sending them to concentration camps.

So when you state that words cannot cause violence, it’s the type of gaslighting that Carlson specializes in. Exactly.

I just posted the definition, granted, you guys have not gotten it changed as of yet and that will happen, so what was incorrect about the definition I posted.

Since you don’t know what CRT is, your comment is irrelevant.

I do and for someone who said it wasn't being taught, makes me wonder if you do. I have defined it in this thread. Can you define CRT?

Failure again but understandable. The entire premise of racism derives from western white culture. Someday you will understand. Thus bigots can be bigoted in a host of ways. Racism derives from power positions by the very nature of the social construct called “race”. That you don’t agree or like it is irrelevant.

How did western culture create racism? Am I correct in saying that racism did not exist before western culture?
