Why?

So whites can't experience racism?

"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."

So whats the point of this definition?

I understand your point, I just have my own experience that says otherwise. ( And this definition.)

These idiots we've been debating cite The Urban Dictionary as their source for this new, pathetic, SJW definition. Thanks for your efforts, but these idiots are permanently indoctrinated and the world is much better of with them in the ground.

You are a Liar and that is a generalization. Racism can and is directed at whites as well and has seen a recent increase along with melanin superiority theories propagated by Nick Cannon and the BLM Leadership.

That is incorrect.

Yeah, but they do, every day, at the hands of non-whites and self-hating whites like you.

The they are the be-all-end-all when it comes to this topic? You are too dumb to put together a coherent argument, so you just refer people to some other dumbass's argument. Wow, there is no hope for you.

You have severe TDS. President Trump lives in your head, rent free. You know, like all the losers like you are asking for? "Cancel Rent"...now there's the slogan of the losers. People who are too dumb to be able to earn a living that will pay their rent. So, they protest and riot because they want money handed to them for doing nothing.

For someone who claims to not like arguing, you sure do a lot of it! F**king braindead hypocrite, that is what you are.

Good to see you still have blinders on, and that you are capable of rewriting the very definition of the word

he or she is intellectually bankrupt. A total sheep, believing anything the real racists tell them to believe. Of course all races experience racism. It is beyond obvious, but some people are very stupid.

Your go to insult is the r word which you're obviously to dumb to see is extremely offensive. And it's just childish to see you use words like stupid to prove your "point" just reply with a civilized comment for once. the way you talk you are clearly losing your mind can you prove to me you aren't?

Retard? I'm sorry to have offended you by calling you what you are. I know the truth hurts. Take care, you brain-washed f**king moron. I have no choice to block you. I wouldn't want any of your ample stupidity to wear off on me.

It's you who has blinders on, you are choosing to ignore everything but the My First Dictionary definition.

"Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another, that a person’s social and moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics."
From the Anti-Defamation League Website, https://www.adl.org/racism.
It's an excellent article, and I would highly suggest you read it. Remember that the line dividing good and evil goes through every human heart (Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago), and that every person has the capacity for evil. No one can deny the historical misdeeds of white people to black people. But don't you think we should peacefully work with our common humanity to come to a solution? Violence is never the answer.

I agree. Dark skinned folks can't own racism, or racism will not end. We have accept a broad definition and reject it's practice across the spectrum. Too many people are interested in vengeance rather racial equity.

IKR???

Yes, it is all about vengeance!!!

yeah, it's all about like "We once were treated lesser than you, so we DEMAND to be treated better than you now (nevermind that we weren't alive during the mistreatment)"

btw i agree w/ what u've been saying but u won't convince anyone by insulting them.

Yes, you are right. I lose my temper sometimes, and wish I didn't, but it happens in the face of utter stupidity, and quite frankly, racism.

yeah the whole race war annoys me too. i feel like king john of ulstead in maleficent 2. why can't everyone just get along and make peace?

Because these protesters do not want peace. Like we've said before, they want preferential treatment, in addition to the already preferential treatment they receive in the form of affirmative action. Losers have a hard time accepting the truth that they are losers. They cannot earn what they want because they are losers and have little to nothing to offer so they are trying to TAKE what they want...and they would have to take it from the people that earned it.

ikr? its so sad...

Yeah, but a lot of white people treat anybody that's not white worse then them, that's the whole point of blm, to make sure all have equal treatment

actually blm demands black ppl be treated better than anyone else. it's angry ppl demanding that they have the right to mistreat others just because they are mistreated. that's why i can't stand it. it's really a tu quoque fallacy.

i'll have to look up their standards
but tbh i've been hesitant to look it up b/c of how they act. ig i shouldn't have said "Blm demands" & should've said "many of it's ppl demand" instead. that was wrong on my part.

i understand blm may have been started to emphasize that black lives should matter, too. that i agree with. but nowadays the "too" has become more of an "on a greater scale." and that i don't agree with.

yes i am religious but ik i am not the same as everyone around me. anger unites ppl very well, & that's my problem w/ blm. ppl use it to just throw anger at others. & that's why it's not fair to compare it w/ christianity. christians are not united by hatred & prejudice toward non-christians (unless you're talking about a specific church that is not of God at all b/c they stand against what the Bible says). the bible preaches love toward our enemies (which some christians fail).

i have heard that some of blm's starters were marxist & there's a lot of hate around it. but tbh, not all of its supporters have to know that. ppl believe in stuff they don't know about all the time. for example, there are many people that claim they are democrat but do not stand w/ the democratic principles. (ik b/c i've had many family members like this).

and btw when i say this i don't say or mean the statement "black lives don't matter." i think & know they do. i just believe that every life matters and believe in equality & i don't believe anger & fighting will get us there. i think the only place that'll get us is to Civil War II. i think that black ppl (& i am mostly black btw) should work to be successful just like everyone else does. i want there to be a change in how the sides are treated. & that's not going to happen via anger & rioting. & i believe that we should all do our part to treat each other equally. u do know if u respond to hate with hate, you won't get rid of the hate? we need peace in these desperate times.

"i have heard that some of blm's starters were marxist & there's a lot of hate around it. but tbh, not all of its supporters have to know that. ppl believe in stuff they don't know about all the time. for example, there are many people that claim they are democrat but do not stand w/ the democratic principles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWF_0lkBhjY I recommend watching this, actually I recommend watching all four parts, they are only about 8 mins long.

Thanks for accepting that. Surely it's only fair to check out what their message is if you are talking about them?

" i don't say or mean the statement "black lives don't matter." i think & know they do. i just believe that every life matters and believe in equality & i don't believe anger & fighting will get us there. "

Historically (other than South Africa and white people caused the problem) white people's lives have not been at risk because of their skin color. The emphasis on black lives is because their lives have been at risk due to their skin color.

Unfortunately society tends to ignore marginalized groups requests to be treated equally and there is a historical precedent for rioting being the catalyst for positive change, Stonewall for eg.

actually in south africa, there are 3 divisions of ppl that hate each other; the whites, the blacks, and the mulattos (who hate both sides [which i think is freaking stupid btw). (i learned this from trevor noah)

btw rioting will not solve problems!!! all it will do is tick ppl off! when i first heard of george floyd, i didn't know what it was all about but it was all over everything i followed b/c ppl had stores get looted and emptied and robberies and there was violent rioting. No rioting will get anyone anywhere. all it will do is piss ppl off. We'll just have Civil War II. there are other ways to get equality, but starting divisions is not one of them.

"actually blm demands black ppl be treated better than anyone else."

Where do BLM say that?

"actually blm demands black ppl be treated better than anyone else. it's angry ppl demanding that they have the right to mistreat others just because they are mistreated. that's why i can't stand it. it's really a tu quoque fallacy."

flagtheMemeSlammerDude0 ups, <1h
"idk if it says that, that's how its supporters act tho"

You've just gone from saying that an organization demand something to "it's just how it's supporters act".

So they haven't demanded that at all, it's just your interpretation of how some of the people that support them behave.

Are you religious? If so, do you think your church* should be held responsible for your behavior and attitudes?

*or whatever alternative

And I quote "What's wrong with that? DUmbass,". Really -_-

Well here's what's wrong with it, since you so nicely asked *sarcasm*.

If the globe splits into "racist" and "anti-racist" it could(putting it lightly) cause a f*cking world war again. Remember WW1 and WW2? Do you want that to happen again? For a third time? I'm sorry, but I can't understand your point of view here. Speak clearer, I don't speak Democrat. If my being Republican offends you, block me. I am not saying I support the president that we have right now, but from what I've heard, Democrats are all for personal gain. So.... narcissism?

O MY GOSH YES

& btw i happen 2 b reading a book right now about what a WWIII could look like.

YOU DO NOT WANT IT!!! I can barely SLEEP!!!

ship-shap is nothing but a piece of shit loser. He is a loser, so he sides with the rest of the country's societal rejects (losers)...they cannot earn anything, and they want everything, so their only option to to take by force. That is what is going on. An attempt to redistribute wealth from the haves to the have-nots. Economic disparity is the world's biggest problem, but it cannot, and will not, be solved by rioting/looting/assaulting. In the near future these losers are going to begin to feel the wrath of people trying to protect their lives, liberty, and all the things they have earned with their hard work.

Nobody will have equal treatment due to BLM. BLM is just going to make people separated into two categories. Racist and anti-racist.

IKR?

Whats wrong with that? DUmbass,

Yeah, that would be great if that was truly what BLM is out for. Unfortunately, they want people to treat black owned businesses as better, or a higher priority for support, than any other race's businesses. They are out for vengeance, even if that's not what they tell us. They truly want preferential treatment, above and beyond the trillions and trillions of dollars that affirmative action represents throughout history. They are literally calling for black suspects to only be handled/arrested/investigated by black cops. They are promoting segregation. It is despicable and the self-avowed Marxist "leaders" (one who was convicted of being a pimp for sex SLAVES in 2015 or 2016) want nothing to do with a level playing field. They believe blacks are owed an advantage, above and beyond affirmative action, and they are now willing to commit acts of violence to get it.

segregation is one of the big reasons i don't support BLM. it will NOT solve our problems, only push them away.

Im a loser? Bwahahaha, made me laugh

Get your damn proof, You are part of the reason that blm exists, because you only think that white lives matter, you think that anyone thats not white is not a human, white supremacist cuck

Agreed

white people do not experience racism in their daily lives nor are they oppressed. and the people try to feel bad for themselves about fake problems racism will grow. No one wants racism to be Ignorant white people yelling at black people outside of there homes because they think they have a huge everyday struggle.

What do you know of what others struggle with? Denying someone else's experience will never make them appreciate yours. This revised definition of racism perptuates racial hatred by locking dark skinned people into the role of victim and lighter skinned people into the role of villain. This will never lead to the end of racism.

you have a brain, unlike TLRU.

SO TRUE GOODNESS GRACIOUS my life is full of ppl that do that

"This revised definition of racism perptuates racial hatred by locking dark skinned people into the role of victim and lighter skinned people into the role of villain. This will never lead to the end of racism."

I don't agree. I think acknowledging the difficulties that certain groups of people face and acting as an ally when possible is a positive thing.

The victimhood argument is a con one not a lib one.

I wasn't attempting to ascribe it to a political group. I agree that ackknowledging difficulties is useful, even necessary. But how this ever change if we don't abandon these roles and work together towards something different?

Above, in response to MemeSlammerDude, you asked when did BLM ask for preferential treatment. They do it implicitly all the time - of course they cannot do it explicitly...yet. They tell people to support black-owned businesses, regardless of if those businesses are well-run or deserve to be patronized because of their product/service offerings. They do not care about merits. They do not want a meritorious society. They want a society in which choice barely exists. A society in which citizens are compelled to support blacks just because of their skin color. They want black people to be given even more preferential treatment when universities accept and businesses hire candidates. They simply want increased affirmative action, which is inherently racist, simply because it judges people more based on their skin color than their skills/merits.

PS - no, I don't want a sticker because I have black friends. I simply stated that because someone is accusing me of hating blacks, which could not be further from the truth. Although, I'm sure you, not even knowing the people you are arguing with, can guaranty that we're all racists...because you are you, the all-knowing go-to source when someone needs to know if they are a racist or not.

THX 4 mentioning this... this is one of the things that really annoys me. it seems ppl can't see between decent and indecent. it's just white and black.

4 anyone reading this, i will acknowledge that there are good and bad blacks, good and bad whites, good and bad mexicans, good and bad germans, and good and bad everyone else. i wish ppl would stop suggesting that only one side can show racism. that idea of itself is racist b/c it is prejudiced against certain ppl and not acknowledging truth about how they can be treated. this is coming from some1 who is mostly black btw

Also, insisting that "white" people do not experience racism, discrimination or oppression is a broad assumption that such things are based on their "whiteness." Religion and ethnicity are as much a part of the identity of lighter skinned folks as their skin color, and assuming they are not familiar with mistreatment because they are not dark skinned is a fallacy.

White people do not experience racism in their every day lives and saying that people are being racist to you for being white is a bad thing because it’s the same thing as mocking black people’s struggles

It is a bad thing because it happens. Focusing on their "whiteness" is color based discrimination. No one is mocking the struggles of African Americans. We cannot achieve change until we change the way we think. If light skinned people are always the bad guys and dark skinned people are always the victims, nothing changes.

Which is not to say that we should just ignore it and wait for things to be better. There are things that need to change structurally. One of things that also needs to change isnthe good guy - bad guy dynamic.

That’s because in racism the whites are always the bad guys! Have u not noticed

You literally said exactly that. "Have u not noticed."

When has a black person come up to you and call you a name with centuries of hate and history. Never? That’s what I thought.

Dankinator seems to be the stupid one

You are arguing with a retarded person. I suggest you give up. They are a lost cause.

Actually, they do....for example, right now you are being racist towards white people. It doesn't matter what your race is. Whites can be racist towards whites. You are a racist and it is beyond obvious. Me, well, I have a number of black friends, one of them being the best man in my wedding. Yes, I'm a racist, huh? I know more about the black experience than you ever will. Have lived more than half my life in a black majority community. Most of the blacks I come in contact with are nice people. However, there is a distrubingly high number who hate me because I'm white, and have said as much to my face. I've been beaten up because I'm a white guy who is frequently in black neighborhoods. You are clueless, not to mention stupid. It's hard to tell if you actually are retarded or just playing the part of a retard.

Haha! Oh god, I knew it wouldn't be long before the "I CAN'T BE RACIST, I HAVE A BLACK FRIEND." Ugh, what do you want, a sticker?

Youve been beaten up because you hate anyone that's not white, I'm pretty sure most white supremacists in mostly non white neighborhoods get beat up

So every "white" person ever is a bad guy? Do you think all Mexicans are rapists and all Germans are Nazis? And no, the "whites" are not always the bad guy. The bad guys are bad. Sometimes they are Confederates, sometimes they are KKK, sometimes they are assholes, like Derek Chauvin. You are choosing to focus on their skin color and applying a stereotype.

I never said that white people are the always the bad guys. But when it comes to racism, whites are always the race to discriminate.

You are full of shit and will never achieve equality because you don’t know what it is.

Bluessol wtf???

we aren't trying for justice anymore. its impossible. we are now looking for all future generations to no longer be racist. I think everyone can agree on this.

Yes they do, especially the ones who live in minority-majority neighborhoods. Your point is nothing but your pathetically intellectually bankrupt assertion. You believe you are so righteous that whatever you say is fact, and things couldn't be further from that. Go riot or assault police or whatever you idiots do in your free time.

Boo Hoo black people are being so mean to you, you could barely tell when all the hate will end. cry me another imaginary river.

"...assuming they are not familiar with mistreatment because they are not dark skinned is a fallacy."

I haven't said that, I also haven't seen anyone else say that.

That was directed at TheLastRemainingUsername (who might need a nickname...). See his/her post just above mine.

The 'white ppl do not experience racism' comment?

He didn't say they don't experience discrimination though, you said that.

Wdym

Yes, I did add that.

Do you know that?

DO YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT OPPRESSED?

sorry if i cannot reply to all your comments because I either cannot find them of have just stopped due to boredom. I've gotten a lot of people like you replying to my comments.

100% white people are not oppressed. so go cry someone else an imaginary river.

Are you white? I am. I know.

I’m white. Was I a slaver? Noooooo.

Who suggested you were?

Nobody. Because it's obvious I wasn’t.

Exactly. It was pointless and contributed nothing.

I’m saying that no whites alive today in america were slavers. Historical stuff doesn’t matter.

"Historical stuff doesn't matter" Bores you, does it?

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."- Santayana

no they weren't

Actually, the only dictionary that agrees with you is the Urban Dictionary and the BLM dictionary....both completel jokes and not to be relied upon by anyone but the complete morons who support BLM.

Fake news, there is no BLM dictionary, there is a klan one, I think you use it

wait, there's a freaking BLM dictionary?

no

I was referring to TUD, which is what TLRU keeps referencing, even though it is a laughable source. You are a piece of shit, Ship-Shap. I was beaten up in a black neighborhood because I was a nerd and could not defend myself, and had more money/resources than the piece of shit who hit me in the head with a loaded gun. He is now dead, so the world's just a little better for that.

You were beaten up because you were a white supremacist

Prove it.

He says its shit to be puerto rican, he says that hes not suprised to see black people rioting because they have dark skin, etc

oh yeah i looked it up & didn't find it...
but the urban dictionary is not very reliable. (if you scroll down i posted a definition for "Republican" that i found on the urban dictionary that is completely stupid and irrelevant). i posted it b/c any ppl can post stuff on the urban dictionary (that's why we make memes out of dumb definitions 4 things from that dictionary) lol

If you don't support BLM it's pretty obvious you hate black people and right now you are trying to say they didn't experience any struggles and that they abuse you.

There it is, folks! You have to support BLM if you don't want to be called a racist, if you don't want to be called a black-hater! That's their argument. "If you don't support our rioting/looting/violence against innocent people, then you are a racist." You and your sheeple are the obnly ones that believe that. I have black friends and none of them would tell you that I am a racist. Why? Because I am not. I hate BLM because of their Marxist ideology (if you don't believe it, go to their website and check out their "leaders" - all espouse Marxism and are self-avowed Marxists). You have zero valid points. You rely on revised definitions of words that have been around for hundreds of years. You have nothing to stand on because your argument is by default, retarded. YOU are the racist.

OMG if you say I have black friends to act like you're not racist, you are 100% racist everyone knows you don't say I have black friends as your defense!! how could you not know this!!!

Dude, just because you type something on imgflip.com, does not make it true. You seem to be of the belief that everything you say is fact, which could not be further from the truth. The statement you just made is so flawed it is just beyond the pale. I have a few black friends, yes, this is true. Does that automatically make me not-racist? No, but it helps. I don't see them as blacks. I see them as friends, that is all. When some idiot (you) is telling me I hate blacks, and I tell the idiot that I have a number of black friends, that is simply me telling the idiot that their claim couldn't be further from the truth. "how could you not know this!!!"...are you f**king kidding me? You are so stupid it is hard to believe.

thx this is so true

If you are a racist piece of trash that hates all non-whites and is a white supremacist and in the klan eg dankinator, you will be beat up, harassed by all people, and called a racist

Yeah, except I'm not, but keep talking, child. I know you are but a child and have ZERO life experience. One day, you might wake up and realize how being a know-it-all when you knew nothing was a very pathetic way to live your life.

Except you are, remember when you told some puerto ricans in imgflip *it sucks to be puerto rican*?

You are a racist, we all know that

And you're the biggest cyberbully on imgflip. As stated by both OlympianProduct AND me. So we all have our own flaws

Sayonara~

You are one of dankinators cult minions, we all know that

I'm just saying what OlympianProduct said! Truthfully, I agree with Olympian. Being a friend of Dankinator means I'm in a cult. Okay sure then x'D

this is a serious fallacy.

Your argument states this:
Either A or B. (two extremes)
If not A, then B, and if not B then A.

If (A) I don't support an organization (which uses historical harassment and mistreatment to justify their own harassment and mistreatment), then (B) I hate ppl b/c of their ethnicity & am basically being a racist.
So, by that logic (which is ill), we all basically have two options: be racist towards whites (which BLM denies you can even do) or be racist towards blacks. In this case, there is nothing right to do. Both options are wrong and sinful.
No one says black ppl don't have any struggles. Anyone in this world should be able to realize that every individual human goes through struggles (no matter their skin color or ethnicity). (some dont, btw. I have ppl in my life that tell me that i cannot have any struggles because i don't live like the pygmies in africa). But that's not what is going on here.

Yes, correct, but these people are beyond the pale of idiocy. We're just wasting our time.

We believe black lives matter, but we won’t support the organization because it’s gone off track and now wants anarchy

Actually, every dictionary ever created, except The Urban Dictionary, which is most often used to describe depraved acts of sexuality, defines "racism" the way all of us, except you and the moronic TLRU, choose to define it. You are told to believe that racism is a one-way street, and you believe it. It's like telling a child that in order to get candy, they need to kill their parents. And you fall for it, hook, line, and sinker.

Racism is a system in which a dominant race believe they are superior and benefit from the oppression of other races - whether they want to or not. We don't live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status and opportunity.

Yes, white people all over the world throughout history have experienced slavery and persecution but have not been enslaved, colonised or forced to segregate on the scale that black people have. They do not face housing or job discrimination, police brutality, poverty or incarceration at the levels that black people do. This is not to say that they do not experience things like poverty and police brutality at all but again, not on the same scale - not even close.

Racism also crosses religious and cultural boundaries. Islamophobia is racism mixed with cultural intolerance. Islamophobia targets markers of moslem identity. Evident in how perpetrators of Islamophobic hate crime disproportionately target visibly moslem women, in the same way that racism often targets people for the colour of their skin. Islamophobes often target Sikhs because Sikhs wear turbans, wrongly believing only moslems wear turbans.

Racism isn't one race hating another, that's what you tell kids. When kids ask where do babies come from you explain it at a level they understand, you don't mention vas deferens and fallopian tubes.

Unfortunately many people never look into racism and their understanding of racism never advances beyond the kindergarten definition.
When black people are rejected from obtaining loans they cannot build wealth for future generations. When they are refused home loans to move into white neighbourhoods, they remain in poor neighbourhoods with depressed infrastructure, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, drop out and with no job prospects, many end up in jail. Upon release they cannot get decent paying jobs, they remain in poor areas, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, the cycle of poverty continues generation after generation. That is the reality of racism

this is the very definition. you are not oppressed. so stop acting like it.

This is a bullshit revisionist definition that didn't exist until about 2010. Pick up a print dictionary if you don't beleive me.

Maybe you could pick one up too, check out the word 'believe'?

:) Isn't that always how it is? You see the typo in the split second you hit "post."

Yeah, it's super annoying. :)

Yup, that is the last, pathetic defense of someone on the losing side of an argument....attack the typos! LOL, you are dumb as all hell.

Dude, you're the only one attacking here, if you wanna hang out with the grown-ups, maybe go remove whatever is stuck up your butt and take some deep breaths first.

Another great argument....tell the poster that they need to chill or calm down...if they want to hang with the "grown ups"....you are a f**king retard. It's pretty plain and simple. Sometimes you cannot sugar coat everything and have to be blunt.

If you're going to talk like a bratty teenager, you're likely to be spoken to like one. You are apparently incapable of reasoned debate and instead are having an expletive-laden tantrum.
In case you're not aware; your clear hatred of disabled people makes you sound like a Neo-Nazi.

The way you talk conjures up the image of a social recluse, goose-stepping up and down his bedroom in a rage whilst mumbling an incomprehensible vitriolic monologue about liberals.

It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

I cant reply to all of your comments because I cant find them all and I do not like to argue.

take a look in the mirror

at least he's got one lmao

Zing! Wow, you got me good there!!!!

Actually, did you know that more police murders happen to whites than blacks, even though blacks are more often arrested and commit more crimes?

Urban Dictionary....enough said.

Your stupidity is breathtaking.

wait, they used the urban dictionary 4 this?

With time to think, it seems like the definition you are using might be a better fit for structural or systemic racism rather than racism in general. I would adjust your definition this way:

"Systemic Racism is a system in which a majority race receives benefits and advantages over other races, regardless of conscious intent."

You said, "We don't live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status and opportunity." Of course not. There isn't one, anywhere in the world. The majority, regardless of race, always has more status, power and opportunity. That's *majority privilege.* The advantage of democracy, especially in the US, is that the composition of the majority can change whereas in other systems it does not.

I still maintain that racism in general applies to all races. If you are referring to systemic racism, I would concede that, while it has affected every ethnicity and religious group to some degree, it has and continues to affect African-Americans the most.

Also, this thread is getting large and ungainly. I'm not sure how much longer I am going to continue responding.

this isn't even true & also blacks r more often involved in gangs.

How exactly do you know this?

b/c a lot of my family is black & many ppl on that side of my family (or ppl they hang out w/) r involved in crime. plus charts have shown that since 1980, black ppl have commited over 50% of crime in the US even though they only make up 13% of the US population.

with that said, i am not encouraging mistreatment towards blacks. i don't think police brutality is the answer. i am a huge believer in working towards peace (though i doubt we'll ever get there). also most criminals have a very shady upbringing (w/o parents or guidance or love). (this is not a justification 4 crime, i am just saying if we made sure ppl didn't grow up like that we'd likely have a lot less criminals). so i think we should educate them better & help them understand the american system so they'll get lives and not grow up to be criminals who seize opportunities through stealing instead of working.

So just because you know people that have a criminal record, means the whole race is criminals? Dont wanna pull out the R card but If i have to i will,

notice i didn't say "all blacks were criminals."

b/c a lot of my family is black & many ppl on that side of my family (or ppl they hang out w/) r involved in crime. plus charts have shown that since 1980, black ppl have commited over 50% of crime in the US even though they only make up 13% of the US population.

that's judging all blacks are criminals,

I'll say mine too, since why the hell not.

A decent part of my family is black, but they are not involved in crime. The white people in my family, however, are. I myself have committed crimes, but not big ones like murder, etc.

I fit into the category of every race("black", "white", and -bloody hell- "yellow").

If this sounds racist, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be.

uhhh no it's not. i didn't say my entire black side of the family were criminals. and i know black ppl that are some of the nicest ppl i know. i was making that suggestion 4 the ones who grow up where hardness and cold-heartedness is driven into them.

If White people are considered a race, then it's racism. Racism is judging people because of the race they came from. Saying all White people are automatically racist because they're White is still racism. Blacks and Whites are equally important.

YES IKR?

Racism is a system in which a dominant race believe they are superior and benefit from the oppression of other races - whether they want to or not. We don't live in a society where every racial group has equal power, status and opportunity.

Yes, white people all over the world throughout history have experienced slavery and persecution but have not been enslaved, colonised or forced to segregate on the scale that black people have. They do not face housing or job discrimination, police brutality, poverty or incarceration at the levels that black people do. This is not to say that they do not experience things like poverty and police brutality at all but again, not on the same scale - not even close.

Racism also crosses religious and cultural boundaries. Islamophobia is racism mixed with cultural intolerance. Islamophobia targets markers of moslem identity. Evident in how perpetrators of Islamophobic hate crime disproportionately target visibly moslem women, in the same way that racism often targets people for the colour of their skin. Islamophobes often target Sikhs because Sikhs wear turbans, wrongly believing only moslems wear turbans.

Racism isn't one race hating another, that's what you tell kids. When kids ask where do babies come from you explain it at a level they understand, you don't mention vas deferens and fallopian tubes.

Unfortunately many people never look into racism and their understanding of racism never advances beyond the kindergarten definition.
When black people are rejected from obtaining loans they cannot build wealth for future generations. When they are refused home loans to move into white neighborhoods, they remain in poor neighborhoods with depressed infrastructure, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, drop out and with no job prospects, many end up in jail. Upon release they cannot get decent paying jobs, they remain in poor areas, their kids go to underfunded overcrowded schools, the cycle of poverty continues generation after generation. That is the reality of racism

the real definition of racism (source: the urban dictionary)

This is part of the problem in talking about racism. Miseducated or undereducated people accepting limited context information and insisting that it the real truth (new and improved!) of the universe.

Yeah you need to be more educated

You believe the freaking urban dictionary, which any retard can write, rather than a dictionary, which has definitions that are official, and are proved accurate time and time again.

He is literally the dumbest person on imgflip, which is saying a lot. YES, this moron cited the Urban Dictionary. This is not a joke. He actually expects you to take that as a reliable source. A dictionary that specializes in false definitions. That is what the Urban Dictionary is. A made-up set of fake-ass definitions that only very stupid people take as factual.

Your brain specializes in false definitions. and this is why usa politics suck. NO ONE AGREE ON FACTS!!! so annoying.

LOL, you are literally disparaging the fact that people don't agree with you. Your opinions are not fact. However, you portray everything you say as fact when it couldn't be further from the truth. You are laenting that people do not agree on facts, when the things you're talking about are f**king opinions. That is what is wrong with politics. Too many stupid people, like you, believe their opinions are facts. You are pathetic. You will not be a success in life because you are severely lacking the skills to succeed. It would be wonderful if you ceased to exist. The entire world would benefit from you disappearing.

Says someone who disagrees with definitions that have been around for hundreds of years. You are devoid of all original thought. You are one of the steeple that the far left can rely on being very easy to indoctrinate. Education would do you no good because you believe propaganda to be fact and fact to be racist because it doesn't agree with your warped sense of reality.

Yes, he or she is a f**king retard.

You cited the Urban f**king Dictionary!!!!??? You have got to be the dumbest person of all-time. What a f**king dumb citation. Next thing, you'll be citing Louis Farrakhan, an avowed racist. Or, maybe BLM? Another racist entity. BLM is a domestic terrorist group. They are synonymous with rioting, looting, intimidation, and violence. You support scum, and therefore, you are scum. This world would be so much better off without you.

actually, now that i think about it, if ppl claim u can't b racist towards whites, they won't think louis farrakhan is a racist even though he totally is.

Urban. F**king. Dictionary.

Really?

That site is known for slang, hence the name urban, which basically means NOT MAIN-meaning, in this situation, not what you should be paying attention to-

No it isn't. Racism is not a system, you f**king dolt. You are making things up. You are literally saying that Webster's dictionary, and every other dictionary, for that matter, is wrong. You are using a definition created by pathetic social justice warriors who see things only based on race. White people are considered a race. White people experience discrimination every day. Therefore, white people experience racism. Every single "point" you've made had been a non sequitur. Saying something a lot of times does not make it true.

white people do not experience discrimination I see why you might think that but it just isn't true. if you still disagree with me can you at least agree that racism is a million times worse for blacks

racism isn't a system but it works like it. It's sad you've only heard the basics of racism.

"It's sad you've only heard the basics of racism"....the "basics of racism"....please enlighten me. Wow, you really do have yourself on a high pedestal. I've heard every argument under the sun. I've seen all the statistics. Even after that, I am still able to use my own brain to form my own opinions. Obviously, you just listen to your masters and repeat whatever dumb shit they tell you.

u do realize that any person can post something on the urban dictionary (including racists themselves?) i could go post some untrue racist definition of a word on the urban dictionary & it would be on there 4 ppl to use, but that doesn't mean it's true. There's a reason ppl turn definitions from the urban dictionary into memes. Cause they can be hilariously wrong or silly.

i found this on the urban dictionary. it is not a reliable source of information!!!

You idiot, the urban dictionary is basically an internet slang dictionary

That’ what they said

that's what i am saying. I put this on here b/c TLRU keeps citing the Urban Dictionary to prove a point & expects us to take it seriously.

BUT, the Urban Dictionary is a reliable source, right???? You make yourself look so stupid when you cite something as unreliable as Urban Dictionary. Next thing, you'll be citing Wikipedia as a great source. Someday, you'll learn how to find relizble sources, but until then, everything you say is moot.

There's so much about this that is incorrect, there's no point in trying to correct it. At least you got the punctuation correct.

Sorry if I can’t reply to all your posts because I can’t find them all

No worries!

i'm bad at punctuation so thats a relief that I got that right. and can we just agree to disagree?

I'm afraid there is little other choice.

How will we disagree? Shall we throw rocks and firebombs, and knock over each other's statues? Let's not.

But if we are to agree to disagree, whether here on Imgflip or in our society, we will need to agree on how we are going to do that.

White people have forced violence against black people for centuries and when conservative whites have riots for just a few weeks they lose their small minds.

"Conservatives whites have riots" when did that happen?

Yes, there has been violence against dark skinned people for centuries, and much of it was perpetrated by groups who were light skinned. Now, do you want to keep harping on the past or do you want to do something to make the future a place where we no longer need to have these discussions?

Those actions had ramifications that affect the present, that's what the problem is, that's what the protests are about. How is it helpful to ignore the history?

If a relationship has been abusive and you are trying to heal the relationship because leaving it isn't an option then the history needs addressed before things can move forward.

The abuser saying, "but it's all in the past, I don't want to talk about it, you're just trying to make me feel guilty." isn't gonna help.

Yeah, that's a fair point. Yes, it is important address the current ramifications of the past.

I am not advocating for the dismissal of past abuses. That's one extreme, and the other, that I have been trying to get TLRU to see, is constantly bringing up the past to villainize a particular group.

I don't want to sweep anything under the rug. At the same time, rubbing someone's nose in things that happened before they were born only increases everyone's anger.

So how do we address the problems and ramifications of the past abuses without dwelling on the past and shaming those who have no direct control over any of it? Is there a roadmap, a plan beyond protests? We've got the nation's attention -- now what are we going to do with it?

"I don't want to sweep anything under the rug. At the same time, rubbing someone's nose in things that happened before they were born only increases everyone's anger."

I absolutely agree, I don't advocate making anyone feel guilty, that doesn't help anything.

I think the best approach is education so that the history people learn is as balanced as possible and not just from the perspective of one group in society I also advocate teaching people how to be allies. This is really worth watching->

We all live in society together, the ideal is obviously that it be fair and harmonious. I think that the point liberals typically make is just because certain issues aren't having an impact on certain groups doesn't mean those issues don't exist.

I don't think rioting is an ideal or first resort way to deal with anything, people have resorted to it because asking nicely has never made a difference.

Peaceful protest generally doesn't work.

Unfortunately there is a historical precedent for rioting being the catalyst for change.
I'd much rather live in a society where marginalised groups were included and appreciated; a society where there was nothing to protest about, but I don't.

Sensible, rational coherent thought. I agree. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out tomorrow. I gotta get some sleep!

BINGO YES

Bruh ever heard of redlining ever heard of segregation. Just because something isn’t in the present doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

No one is denying that it happened or even that there are residual effects. Blaming doesn't solve the problem, it interferes with it. But you've answered my question. You are only interested in harping on the past, a past that no one can change or do anything about.

Bruh if u don’t want to linger in the past y r u talking about the riots 😂

"Bruh"....the sign of someone devoid of intelligence...but, at least it's consistent, you know, like you being a f**king moron?

You are an idiot. It has been months, not weeks. Without rule of law, you have chaos and suffering that makes current state of affairs look like a beach party. You support rioters and looters, obviously. As long as its "just a few weeks". You are by far one of the dumbest people I've come across on this site, and that os saying a lot!

ironic your precious police have been starting most of the riots. and the looting isn't any protest. and remember Minnesota? Remember the people who infiltrated the protests? I'll leave it there.

I have yet to see any police burn buildings, smassh storefront, loot, etc. The people who infiltrated the protests are the same peoplke infiltrating every single BLM "protest" in the country. They are NOT white supremacists. The mayor of Minnaepolis retracted the statement he made about the rioters being 90% from out of town...it turns out that was false. The rioters and looters are made up of BLM supporters (even though the majority are peaceful), ANTIFA, and other fringe far left groups. You are completely brainwashed, and pretty unintelligent.

Says the brainwashed klan member

*that's

You really are bad at punctuation, as well as reasoning, logical thinking, formulating sensible argument, and everything else under the sun. You are a mental midget of the highest order.

"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."

Agree to disagree?

he doesn't care about facts. He is a steeple of the far left and espouses nothing but completely retarded thought.

*sheeple, lol...autocorrect is fun.

Racism is racism. So what youre saying is people are racist but when its whites no thats okay might as well hang them

As a white person who lives in an majority white city I can tell you. No white people I’ve seen in my life have ever been scared of what a person might do to them because of their skin color. And none of them have ever had anyone do something annoying/hurtful to them because of their race. As much as it sounds like it should exist, white racism just isn’t real.

So because it doesn't happen to you it doesn't exist? So you're deriding light skinned people for denying discrimination and hate against dark skinned people while denying discrimination and hate against white people.

Yes. That is exactly what the dipshit is saying. He or she os the real racist.

its funny that you think I'm the racist when its easy to see you don't believe in racism against blacks pathetic

YOU Are the only racist person here, you say *im not surprised that blacks couldn't control their behavior at Minneapolis riots because of their skin color* You hate blacks, you hate latinos, you hate asians, should we go on? I won't be surprised if you are in the klan

isn't it prejudice against whites to say that they cannot be treated w/ racism? It's not judging fairly.

an oppressed raise? What the f**k is that, you f**king moron.

You're clearly the moron here. were you like born yesterday? or do you know about black people? have you lived your whole life thinking there are two races of white people.

It's "race", you f**king dolt.

Are you white? I’m white. Whites experience racism.

Do you live somewhere where white people were enslaved by black people en masse and as a result of that generations of your family have been abused and murdered. Did the racism against your ancestors prevent their access to education, housing and investment causing you to come from people who had nothing to pass on?

Does your surname and or skin color prevent you getting jobs in which people of a different skin color hold the majority of the powerful positions?

Do people make assumptions about your tendency for violence and criminal activity based on your skin color?

Do people make assumptions about your education and intelligence based on your skin color?

Do you feel like you are being expected to justify and or represent all other people of your skin color?

If you commit a crime, will people attribute it to your skin color?

Do people make assumptions about your family background based on your skin color?

Do people make assumptions about where you are from based on your skin color?

When I am in a black neighborhho, which is M-F for me, I can answer "yes" to every single question you posed. Blacks are extremely racist towards white people. On an everyday basis. I've been called a "cracker" more than once while waiting for my food at Popeye's. I've been told to "wait your turn, white boy" when at another restaurant in a black neighborhood. I've been told, "we don't like y'all" while at McDonald's, when I was given someone else's order, then told I'd have to wait for everyone in line before they'd make my order, and was told "you don't even belog here". I've spent nearly half of my life living amongst blacks and have been the victim of racism many times. I don't really care that I've been a victim, though. I move on with life and do the best I can with what I was blessed with. BLM and its supporters, on the other hand, swell on the past and always will, and are racists of a much higher magnitude than the average white person. It's so painfully obvious to the white people who have lived the experience of being the minority in black neighborhoods. PS - I've also been mugged, beaten up, and called racist names during these assaults. I've had a gun put to my head, my phone wallet, and keys taken from me, and then a trigger pulled while the thugs laughed at me pissing my pants. Then pistol whipped and left in the street as these pieces of trash laughed as they rolled away in my car. The idiots were caught later that night. One with crack and his 7-year old sister in my car. All that said, I don't hate blacks. I hate criminals of all skin colors. And unfortunately for BLM, their raks are filled with criminals. That is why I hate BLM. Because they are racists and criminals.

*neighborhood, lol....wow lots of typos in there.

P.S, You are the only racist person here, Whites are extremely racist to Hispanics and blacks and Asians, the only people that they don't be racist too are whites themselves, P.S, I've been attacked by white supremacists at skate parks just because I'm Hispanic, been told to stop speaking Spanish because this is America, been told to go back to Mexico or Puerto Rico, You are all making this up just to make blacks and Hispanics look bad, you hate blacks, we all know this, racist piece of crap, you are all making this up just to seem like you are the victim and have a reason to hate blacks,

Racists do not spare "white" people. You seem to see all light-skinned people as the same, but they see the differences in each other and sometimes trear them badly, too.

That's, not my point, i know that racists do not spare white people, I know that racists come in all colors, my point was to make dankinator think again, dankinator said *Blacks are extremely racist to white people* ANd I put my argument back, your point is right, just not dankinators

Sorry! I misread it!

Its fine, the point of

P.S, You are the only racist person here, Whites are extremely racist to Hispanics and blacks and Asians, the only people that they don't be racist too are whites themselves, P.S, I've been attacked by white supremacists at skate parks just because I'm Hispanic, been told to stop speaking Spanish because this is America, been told to go back to Mexico or Puerto Rico, You are all making this up just to make blacks and Hispanics look bad, you hate blacks, we all know this, racist piece of crap, you are all making this up just to seem like you are the victim and have a reason to hate blacks,

was to get at dankinator for saying *Black people are extremely racist* Whites can experience racism, same with all races

ok ppl do that b/c they're mean. & b/c that's happened to u doesn't mean every white person does that. almost no one i know that is white would say such a thing. it's not racist tho to say uve been hurt by ppl of another skin color. Why can't ppl realize that everybody is mucked up, not just one race? it's like either white ppl r satan or black ppl r, & we must defend our side b/c we can't be the satans. it's completely insane

Tell that to dankinator

dankinator didn't say he hated blacks & he didn't say all blacks act like that. & im saying not all whites act up either.

He is extremely racist to blacks, hispanics, asians, and other races,

uhh how?

As said we CAN, that we DO, not that we have experienced more.

Yes.

I'm white and no I've never decided to play "lets get discriminated against" with my friends.
