-That's a whole lot of assertion on your part.
He's a lost cause. Honestly, **** anyone who liked this posts after the shit he typed.
For one, slavery was an event that supercedes generations; for another thing, institutional racism is still rampant in America. You can see this in a lottttt of areas. To humor you though, we can (for the sake of argument) pretend that a lot of the damages caused by slavery simply don’t exist anymore. There are still a LOT of public and private sectors where discrimination is common in America. For instance, Red Lining — a practice wherein banks would calculate the probability of having to foreclose a new home based on the neighborhoods surrounding them. This practice is highly illegal today, but it happened in the 1930s, a time when many POC (people of color) were alive during. Today, the effects of this are still felt, clearly if your parents or grandparents were homeless or could only afford for the family to live in a low-income area, you wouldn’t have had a similar upbringing to the white community 20 minutes away with better schools and public resources. This isn’t speculation, this is fact. You can also see evidence of institutional racism in prisons, middle-class neighborhoods, and schools. Ever heard of gentrification? And why are black people more than 4 times more likely to be arrested for possession of Marijuana despite nearly equal usage rates? It’s dumb to think that black people dont have an excuse to be angry at white people, especially because of the class disparity STILL felt because of the Atlantic Slave Trade. I’m not supporting these shows, I think that any sort of racism is wrong, but it’s just naïve to think that the consequences of slavery have just been stamped out and aren’t still being felt today, though these shows are definitely not helping anything as they are widening the racial divide imo.
Except they don't, the only people who're bringing up the bad events of the black race are themselves. No white man is bringing up ''Tuskegee'' or ''Birmingham'' or ''Slavery'' because its not relevant anymore. Everyone has moved on with their life, those events don't happen anymore and we've never experienced it so why are you up in arms about it? Generation brainwashing is what i think, just my opinion.
What are you even saying? Look man, that still doesn’t explain a 4 times disparity in arrest rates.....also, that was just one of MANY examples on why racism is still prevalent in America? But yea, keep feeling offended over a Netflix show lmao.
Yeah, thats my whole point (assuming i've read your comment right) its 2018 now, we should just move on from these 1800s - 1900s horrible events. We can't move on to helping a bigger and better community if we just relive and constantly bring up our past mistakes.
His whole point was that black people need to essentially stop crying wolf because no one alive experienced slavery and that's the only 'logical' bad thing that has happened to black people. Racism exists today. Racism is still felt from 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, etc. years ago. Vex provided excellent examples.
Why would we 'just move on' if we are still feeling the effects of them today. By your same logic we should just move on from the holocaust and move on from 9/11. They are both in the past right?
I don't think it has anything to do with racism based on the crime statistics. I mean, i'm not saying there isn't racism but you should consider the fact that they commit most crimes despite being a minority and it may have something to do with it.
Well i mean they do have an excuse, but that's the point, that's all it is, an excuse. There's no legitimate reason to be pissed off at someone you don't even know, who has never done or said anything to you. That is just petty.
I agree, any sort of racism is wrong, this goes both (all) ways. And these shows are indeed fueling the racial divide.
Actually everyone has moved on from 9/11, matter of fact a year later we made memes of it so its rather hilarious that you're bringing that up because we all know... bush did 9/11.
Well yes, in my area that is. I'm not gonna dwell on something that doesn't concern me like that but hey this isn't even the original topic anymore. All i was saying is that the new netflix show supports black supremacy and yes i'm against all sorts of supremacy so of course i'm against this new age of thinking that we should blame and harass all the white people for the ignorance of others.
I don't see any racism or supremacy in the OP's video. At one point one of the chicks even says she thinks it's a good thing that people accept their culture and emulate it. She just didn't like when people stole it and pretended like it was their own; Elvis. The one dude even said he didn't care if people appreciated their culture as long as they don't call him the 'n' word. Unless you two can point me to a different part of the video, I just didn't see it.
And honestly i don't see the problem with it. If other people adopted my culture i would be happy about it. If anything i might worry about them abandoning theirs.
You’re being illogical. 99.9% of criminals don’t begin their day saying “Damn, it’d be real fun to rob a store today and possibly spend years in prison.” In most cases, these people are thinking “I can’t afford to pay rent and feed my family, and I need quick cash.”
Good, keep whining and cry more. Beautiful tv show thanks for letting me know about so i can support it. Im sick of your crying and moaning. You want white power stuff? Go to breitbart lmao. Black supremacy is a myth unlike white supremacy which controls the us government.
@bold is the juvenile and uniformed simply becuase your argument misses the distinction between overt racism (like the KKK or Jim Crow Law's) and systemic/institutionalized racism. The idea of systemic/institutionalized racism is not to intentionally discriminate to a black person's face directly or in a straight forward fashion. Simply put, systemic racism is the idea/thought that the very institutions of society are set up in a way that contributes to racial differences. For example, some would argue that doing background checks or asking about criminal history for a job application is an example of institutional racism since minorities are more likely to have things that would pop up on those checks, thus keeping them from getting a job.
