You specifically excluded her. In my response to your post I specifically included her. I did say she didn't get it. I NEVER said she was a racist. I haven't ever seen anything on here where someone painted her as a racist (I may have missed it though). But you know - I'm supposedly up your ass.
yah it really is....it's so beyond that too. it's something that really shakes you and hurts your soul.
I deny nothing since Ches is white and included in the white experience The entirety of white experience as a whole is consistently shoved down our throats. We intimately know their experience because since the moment of our births it's constantly pushed on us so her statement that we couldn't possibly know how it is to be white us false considering we are brought up in the white experience. Sorry the only thing I guess we can't get is the stung of falsely being called racists. Rather deal with that super infrequent inconvenience than to actually experience racism.
U are full of shit. U specifically said her life experience now you wanna buck dance. Now back to our regular broadcast
Naw your just lying and you got caught....again Lol Sad sad sad. I'll trade reading comprehension for being an honest man any day.
As I stated....I think boba made a thoughtful statement. I have to lean toward what he is saying. I would hope he would expand on it further. I would surely like to get into the learned helplessness aspect of it
You done nothing wrong except ask questions. That's it. I know you aren't a racist and had no intent. Don't sweat it.
You have a very unique perspective around here as you're raising children on both sides of the spectrum. People like to make smart comments about those of us with biracial kids, but they have no idea what it's like raising non-white children just like I don't know what it's like raising white kids. You see both sides. You could teach all of us a thing or two in this discussion! This. Lol you're the only one putting Ches and Racist in the same posts.
Getting back your questions.... Of course blacks face racism and classism whereas white face classism When it comes to crime - drug use whites use it at a higher rate but blacks are busted more so http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/racial-disparity-drug-use_n_3941346.html Look at the GOP debates. One of the first half of the candidates confess to drug use but ......let pookie had done it and he couldn't be dog catcher Grandparents always say "you have to do twice better than a wp just to get half the respect" I'll put up more data on conviction rate and crime rate. Bottom line its perception
There you go one more time. What's silly? The thread is about race. So she ask questions and they get mad. Damn
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/black-crime-rates-your-st_b_8078586.html Here are some info about how the justice system is inbalanced Here's an excerpt from the article (1) If a black person and a white person each commit a crime, the black person is more likely to be arrested. This is due in part to the fact that black people are more heavily policed. Black people, more often than white people, live in dense urban areas. Dense urban areas are more heavily policed than suburban or rural areas. When people live in close proximity to one another, police can monitor more people more often. In more heavily policed areas, people committing crimes are caught more frequently. This could help explain why, for example, black people and white people smoke marijuana at similar rates, yet black people are 3.7 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession. (The discrepancy could also be driven by overt racism, more frequent illegal searches of black people, or an increased willingness to let non-blacks off with a warning.) (2) When black people are arrested for a crime, they are convicted more often than white people arrested for the same crime. An arrest and charge does not always lead to a conviction. A charge may be dismissed or a defendant may be declared not guilty at trial. Whether or not an arrestee is convicted is often determined by whether or not a defendant can afford a reputable attorney. The interaction of poverty and trial outcomes could help explain why, for example, while black defendants represent about 35% of drug arrests, 46% of those convicted of drug crimes are black. (This discrepancy could also be due to racial bias on the part of judges and jurors.)
For me the whole post is strong as hell specifically this last part. When blacks learned how to read when it was against the law and later on became inventors before the 1900s (if im not mustakened) and doctors speaks volumes. With what they know of our situation it would be imperative to mentor and rid of the learned helplessness
Last example of white privilege in the area of the justice system. There's a heroine epidemic in new Hampshire. Saw a CNN special on it. They talked about in the debates and someone started a thread on it. The govt officials have been doing a thing where they treat the addicts. Well when crack hit blacks they gave them jail. You have to know also at the same time they privatized the prison system. Hhhmmm now its breaking our budgets and now you have the heroine epidemic. http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/22/politics/new-hampshire-2016-addiction/
She did make racially charged comments. Tdk is spot fucking on. Still don't see where Ches was called a racist in this thread though. Ftr, no ones "mad" that she asked questions. I appreciate that she at least seems interested in being educated on the topic. Myself and many others were answering her questions, trying to educate, and her responses made it clear that the information we were giving wasn't being understood by her. Truthfully, I think many white people verbalize an understanding of white privilege but when you show examples of it in their own lives, people naturally get defensive and many times you can tell they don't truly understand white privilege (nor will many acknowledge the advantages they've had from it). Stop trying to stir shit up Captain. No one said Ches was racist. It was said that she made racially charged comments (true) and that she seems to not "get it" (true, by the opinion of those of us speaking with her).
Epic fail. How can you be honest about something you read if you can't comprehend it? Lmao. How does that work professor? :smt005
Bullshit it wasn't racially charged..niave you can say that but racial. We are talking race. And yes he was pissed.they were seriously adding on to shit to fit a narrative. Lastly to call someone captian you are the last to say..... Seriously the last. Hell even I and Ches will disagree .
The first few posts/questions, I'll give you the ridiculous cover of "naive". After that though, racially charged fits the bill. Whatever floats your boat though, Cap'n :lol:
