Fish Don't Know They Swim In Water: Inside the Mind of White America

in #whiteamerica7 years ago (edited)

Excellent, short documentary that explores just how racism continues to be a problem in America. There is also a great divide on opinion when it comes to racism. If you're black, you're very aware of racial issues. If you're white, most likely, you've been raised to deny racism exists.

I wrote something years ago, about 'what race baiting actually means'. It's pretty popular, but naturally the white people in my comments don't believe what I shared is truth. Whenever anyone attempts to hold this conversation, they are accused of race baiting, and eventually of playing the 'race card' ....

I went on to say 'the race card' is usually how white people avoid discussing these issues. They just chalk it up to 'the race card' and pretend blacks don't know what racism means. This is how they justify tuning out when black people are speaking, and it allows room for racist white supremacists to carry out evil deeds.

So I liked how this short documentary, goes directly into this supposed 'race card', and shows us some realities our society likes to avoid. As we avoid the issues, the problems that are underlying worsen ... which is bad, for us all.

Fish don't know they swim in Water - White males don't know they are born into White male Privilege

We cannot change things by avoiding real conversations. Whites who believe white people don't kill other white people, should be shown the events of Las Vegas, October 1st 2017. If we believe the official story, ONE white guy, killed over 57 white people, and injured close to 600. If you feel it was a conspiracy, more than likely it was conducted, by white people - and that is where dangerously ignorant and inaccurate belief systems leave us all openly in danger.
