RACISM

I've had a theoretical ephiphany about something different between blacks and whites in particular. I don't have as much fact or substance behind this as I would like but I find it plausible enough to present publicly to discuss and debate on. Mind you the following is generally based and isn't meant to be a definitive trait. For whatever reason as a whole black people interconnect things racially as a whole far more than white people do. There is much more of a "unified interconnected village" vibe that black people will portray that white people often don't. This difference in part can explain the racial divide as this difference can explain a number of (mis)communication issues that arise on a macro level. Not that white people don't have a "unity" trait but ours is more recessive and is more reserved for military-like purposes, while with black people seem to have this unity both by default and for a variety of purposes.

Maybe, just maybe, it could be that older generations were raised with racism and prejudice being the norm. As such, the next generation gets raised by those people and gets those thoughts and fears ingrained in them. Just one of many possibilities.

I would imagine those feelings dillute by generation then again with BLM it seems that these feelings are still very intense.

You forget, it's not really been all that long since racism was just an expected part of the day. It takes more than one or two generations to completely "dilute " something that was so widspread and, there are consequences that aren't just easily pushed to the side. Anger still lingers, as does injustice to an extent. Would you forgive and trust a government that had no issue doing things like the Tuskegee experiment or allowing rampant hatred based solely on the color of your skin? It takes a while to "normalize" things. We've grown leaps and bounds, but there are still issues and unfortunately, minorities are brought up to belive (and find it to be true) that things are still just as bad.

True to me it feels "so long ago" since racism was blatantly on every street or so. I can't say whether American whites are desensitized or just don't have a sensitivity to race. This is one positive aspect of BLM is it has brought up the questions and the thought exploration. (This doesn't nullify my criticism a few pages back - and in my brief time looking at BLM as a whole I still find them a more negative and devisive movement but there certainly is good in it that should not be ignored .... a long post for another day)

Why are there no children named Adolf? Why is the name alone, ADOLF HITLER, such a touchy, sensitive subject? Now, tell Jews to get over the Holocaust to their face. Tell the survivors of the Holocaust that have tattoos, oh, sorry, I mean numbers branded to their wrist to get over it. Now tell the family of proud Adolf Hitler Campbell & Joycelynn Aryan Nation that the nation got over it in 2012*. People were complaining about their names until the courts got involved & then when they finally did, the courts took them away. Parents had a swastika tatted to his neck. They took his kids away. Because people are not over the Holocaust. If white people in America & Jews across the globe cannot forgive Adolf Hitler & forever make the name & swastikas seem like a racist symbol even tho it's actually an Indian symbol in Hinduism & Buddhism, then don't tell me & my entire race to "get over" slavery. You don't get to tell me to chill the fuck out over ancient history when I can't walk around with a fucking swastika because I might hurt some Jew's feelings. You don't get to tell me to chill out whenever September 11th comes around & everyone in good ol' 'Merica goes "never forget". You want to forget about slavery & the KKK & all that racist bullshit that happened in America that "make it great" in the first place and with the same breath tell me to be sensitive to your feelings because you have a cousin or friend who died or whatever. I have friends that died in towers. I get it. That doesn't change anything. 9/11 happened just like WW2, just like the Holocaust, just like slavery. Africans who were slaves went to fight for freedoms that they didn't even get once they got back from war. How do you think that soldier felt when he came back home from Germany? Killing Nazi's so they don't kill Jews for no reason only to come home and be told you can't sip water from a water fountain because you're darker than a paper bag? That was LAW. the SAME LAW that says cops can shoot people for running away from them. The SAME LAW that had slavery in it. The SAME LAW that said I AM barely 3/5th human (3/5ths compromise). The SAME LAW that said if you're a slave in the south and move out west, where slavery was not abolished yet, you could keep your slaves because just because you move doesn't mean your slave is not your property. These laws aren't from 1400 or 1500. These are as recent from the 1900's that just recently were amended because black people decided to try things peacefully and marched, protested & had civil disobedience that was spearheaded by Martin Luther King Jr. The man was all about peace and love and being a good christian & love and sang kumbya with little back boys and little white boys and blah blah blah until he was assassinated for it. Some white person decided to shoot the one person who believed in not fighting back from across the street because he was scared of what MLK represented. Same thing with the Tulsa, Oklahoma, when the KKK murdered some 15,000 black people for simply doing a good job of surviving on their own without the presence of white people. If you fail to learn your history you're doomed to repeat it. Stop ignoring & cringing when you hear someone disagree with you. I do not disagree that the African community in the US is broken. I was raised & came up from it. I know first hand how fucking retarded we all look when people like Flavor Flave is a fucking Icon. You get people who are poor, broken spiritually, attacked viciously from all sides and put them in a box with very limited sources to survive and they'll tear each other apart. It's a science experiment. Look up where the term "Ghetto" came from. The government decides to have stop & frisk in a black community in the ghetto's of The Bronx or Queens (home for me btw) but refuses to go to Manhattan where all the wall street crack heads & politicians are where 50% of ALL narcotics are sold in NYC, because white people in suits don't do drugs (pfft). Or better yet, and this has happened so many times its a running joke in NYC, and anyone in this thread from NYC has probably heard of this joke before, If you called the cops to your house for an emergency & then called Dominoes for pizza, the pizza would get to your house first. That's the community I was raised in. The police never gave a fuck. And now you tell me Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter? Please, when someone white gets killed by police, Black Lives Matter shows up and "ALM" people are fucking silent(**Zachary Hammond). Or, since the law isn't skewed in any way, Brock Turner? He was caught RAPING a chick behind a dumpster. Sentenced to 6 & does 3 months. Or Brandon Vandenburg, who's been convicted of raping TWICE? Brian Banks DID 5 years for a rape he didn't commit. Gee, I wonder why. (rhetorical) So, because I bring up that I find these things a lil bit fucked up makes me a bigot? Because I notice that the main difference between the treatment of Brock Turner vs Brian Banks is race, I'm racist? Because I find it hypocritical for people to say all lives matter but want refugees who are muslim to go thru extra security but doesn't give a fuck about how Adam Lanza got his guns, I'm prejudice? If that's the case, then fine. I'll be that. All that to say this, the first step in recovery is admitting that there's a problem to fix. America, as a whole, needs a lot of fixing if relations of any kind (race, religion, sex) are to be mended & strengthened for the future. *http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2152679/New-Jersey-parents-named-children-Adolf-Hitler-Aryan-Nation-back.html **http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/zachary-hammond-police-killing_us_55c0e240e4b0c9fdc75dfda3
