RE: Whiteness, the straw that broke America
Meet the mother of my 2 children. LOL
I don't hate white people at all, but I don't act like I don't see the stuff that many do. I have friends of all ethnicites, but the reality is....that racism in America is truly destroying America. So the sooner we discuss things the better off we will be.
I love all people that are deserving of it...but my philosophy to all my writings is this.....If the shoe doesn't fit.....don't rock it.
Hate is a strong word seeing I never said white people are evil. I just think most white Americans or people who get caught up in "Whiteness" aren't use to others speaking about the negative effects their attitudes and actions have on the world.
for so long...people have been afraid to anger or upset white folk...that white people aren't use to it...and instantly think that any criticism is calling for the destruction of the white race...which isn't the case.
I don't hate white....or love black (well...I mean I love myself), but if you rock the robe of whiteness......and act in that vain...I'll try to explain how certain attitudes have a negative impact on race relations.
A lot of people weren't happy with Obamacare. There are white people that weren't happy about the riots though. I can understand protesting but not riots and it's not racist to have borders and follow immigration laws.
You don't understand the Riots...because you don't understand that feeling of helplessness. Dude...you know how long black folk have been complaining about Police abuse.....and no one has done anything? Riots are a result of pain...not conscious. But I'm not even sure how the hell we got on Obamacare and riots.....but....I think....maybe....instead of instantly feeling defensive anytime the finger is pointed in your general direction.......just hear the criticism. It won't kill you....and you might actually see something that you agree with. But if you start off....simply assuming everything is rooted in some hate of whiteness....you miss an opportunity to make changes for the better.
Is Trump giving some black people hope?
I think some strategy in the black community is lacking. It's often black people electing black police who hire black and white police who mainly arrest black people for drugs. Black and white people need to stop doing drugs but the war on drug dealers has been a failure. I'd rather but 100 drug users in jail for a month and try and save their lives than one drug dealer in jail for 100 months.
I was just making a point that Obama was not some sort of Messiah. I do think Trump is doing better than Obama although I am disappointed about the budget and Syria.
I do not agree with the liberal victim mindset in the black community. Yes you guys are a victim of some racism but I think often you are even more a victim of black leadership that seems to typically be even worse than white leadership. In my city black leaders helped "protect" everyone from jobs.
I do think your initial post was rooted in a lot of media propaganda. Yes Trump probably should have been less abrasive when it comes to things like illegal immigration but I think we do need more legal immigration and less illegal immigration.
Black leadership?!?!? We arent a football team dude. We have different views and we dont have some figure head of black people. We are Americans! Who is thr leadership of white people?!?!
I dont know you...but your mindset it part of the problem. You speak about black people as if we are all the same. even in my post...i noted that not all white people suffer from Whiteness. But the way in which you see us...is truly a racist view...imo. im not calling you in particular a racist...but racism and racist dont see non whites as people equal to....and deserving consideration of compassion.
This weird association of blacks and drugs is b.s. Mathematically.....white people are the biggest drug users in America...but somehow.....we are painted as the only users. Much like crime, statistically and numerically white people do more crime...yet.... we are considered the face of it.
I just ask you to reconsider your view....step back...and add in human factors. black people arent all the same.....but we all experience racism from white america.
when you talk illegal immigration....are you talking about the score of Canadians and Europeans that over stay tourist visas...or simply those that come from.south of the boarder?
The elected officials in certain majority African American communities. Typically white elected officials rule over white communities.
Overall it seems like the black community is more tolerant of criminals.
By drugs I meant drug arrests. I think we should put less black and white drug dealers in jail and more black and white thugs in jail.
Obviously everyone is individuals but we do make up communities.
We need to enforce all our immigration laws. I would be more concerned about people coming from terrorist countries but I do support borders. I do think we may need more legal immigration though particularly from Mexico. If we send our illegals home we will probably need to replace some of them with legal immigrants.
