I am not sure you are on the right site if you want people to learn. This is a website where people make memes, or pictures with captions as jokes, for fun, this website was not made for learning.

Caps time ( because it didn't worked last time)

Did it worked?
I think it's worth stopping to ask what we mean when we say racism, otherwise we can talk and argue without getting anywhere. A good quote about this:
"Too often, when people are talking about racism or sexism or heterosexism or any other form of oppression, they’re simply referring to when a person was made to feel bad for or about their identity.
There is absolutely no acknowledgement of wider systems of oppression and power."
Unfortunately, pedophile cult leader Dwight York (former leader of the Nuwaubians) beat you to it. Google or Wiki it. He claimed to have come from the planet "Rizq" (among myriad other batshit crazy things he taught).
It's amazing how much bullshit googling have been going on in these "counter" arguments over racism. Stop trying to sound smart, it just makes you guys look even more dumb in public. I'm looking at you, beaver and vivian. No up-votes for you.
*PS: Since you want to look so smart (sarcasm included) in the eyes of the internet, you guys might want to check your grammar while you are at it. ;D
Some people say "reverse racism" doesn't exist. I'll give you that. Instead, let's call it "counter-racism". I think that if someone experiences enough racism, it can make them hateful toward anyone of the race which has mistreated them. I think this explains a lot of cases of black people who are racist toward white people. They've been on the receiving end of so much racism from white people that they start to hate all white people themselves.

There may be some that feel that way towards white people....but white people as a group don't feel any consequences systematically. At worst an individual or a small group (I have never heard of any) may be a victim of a racially motivated crime....but that not really "racism".
I think you lost me. Please clarify what you mean by white people as a group don't feel any consequences systematically. Second, if someone is a victim of a racially motivated crime, how is that not racism?
I would agree with your point that white people aren't affected by racism on a grand scale, but on an individual level it does happen. There have been white people who go to predominantly black colleges who have been harassed by other students because they are the "minority" in that environment. I'm not saying anti-white racism is as bad or as widespread as anti-black racism. But it does happen.
Sorry about the notifications I gave you, I was just trying to make beaver understand that his opinion isn't welcome here. He seems really determined to make himself look stupid. I swear he is deliberately misinterpreting the meme, I've explained the intent behind it multiple times, but he refuses to listen...
I have tried to get you to see reason, but you have responded by spouting bullshit and insulting me for no reason. I had hoped that you were intelligent enough to realize you were wrong and accept it like an adult, butiI see now that you aren't. There is no point in my continuing this discussion if you continue to act like a butthurt child, and as such, i will no longer be responding to your comments. Goodbye, and good luck in your life. If I ever see you again, it'll be too soon.
My opinion is that the educational system in America needs to change because America is getting dumber, but that's just me. My opinion has nothing to do with racism, but you'll realize what I'm saying sooner or later.
Africans did own slaves, captured from warring factions, these slaves were treated with dignity, part of the community often married into the families, and owned property once their servitude was up, they were not **ped tortured, murdered, and forced into labor the way they were everywhere else.
Get your facts straight before you run your mouth, it just makes you look ignorant kid.
He is right though. Most people in America that owned slaves owned only 1 or 2, maybe 3. The ones who owned large plantations of over 50-100, slaves WERE A MINORITY, and most of those people were Jewish! Read "Who brought the slaves to America" and "The Secret relationship between Blacks and Jews".
You are DEAD WRONG and DAMN OVER SIMPLYFING THINGS! Reverse discrimination is damn stupid. FACT THAT IS OFTEN HIDDEN: MOST SLAVE SHIPS TO THE AMERICA'S WERE OWNED BY KIKES/JEWS! Jews/Hebes are not just a religion, they are A RACE! Another fact that escaped your shitty head: BLACKS HAVE AND STILL IN SOME AREAS OF AFRICA, MADE SLAVES OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE, YOU F**KING TUMBLRINA WITH A SCREWED-UP HEAD!!
Racism is the thought one race is superior to another.
In and of itself...the thought is not really an issue. People can THINK whatever they want.
When this line of thinking affects an individual the person could be considered a "victim" of racist actions or perhaps "racism."
When this line of thought is used to justify systematically oppressing a race that is truly "racism" as I think of it.
Black people (in the USA at least) can't be "racist" in this way as they simply don't have systematic control over anything that would lead to another race being oppressed by their "racist" actions.
Probably 10 seconds ago. I am Latino, and I am against "Affirmative Action." When I am hired, I want to be hired because I am the best PERSON for the job; not the best Latino, or simply a mean to satisfy some quota. Black Entertainment awards are celebrated, but if I white person decides is a good idea to come up with an equivalent award for whites, it is considered racism.
That is true as it is true for any race. I am irish, Italian and black i know black people can be racist against our own race, slave masters really did their job well to make us hate our own beautiful features
Hey asshole, you misunderstood what he said. He wasn't calling every black person a racist bigot. He was merely pointing out that racism is not limited to one ethnicity in particular.
You have seriously misinterpreted the meme. All it was saying was that it is POSSIBLE for all ethnicities to be racist, not just whites. It wasn't accusing all blacks of being racist, nor was it saying that it's impossible to be racist towards whites. Besides, the meme was intended as more of a joke than anything, and you're taking it WAY too seriously. To be honest, you've made quite a fool out of yourself, and I think it's safe to say the downvotes have shown what people think of your opinion.
Not really... It's a bit unfair, maybe, but certainly not cowardly by any stretch of the term. Also, as i keep saying, that's not even what the original meme is saying! It's merely pointing out that it is POSSIBLE for all races to be racist, not that all blacks ARE racist.
Did it ever even cross your mind that you could be wrong? Also, you're taking this whole thing WAAY too seriously. IT'S A F**KING JOKE! IT'S MEANT TO BE FUNNY! Now, I really am going to have to ask you to stfu, and stop making your misinformed comments before you lose the respect of everyone on this site.
Racism has nothing to do with facts, historical or otherwise. I've never had a slave, and my hypothetical black friend has never been one. That's the whole point: it's an illogical bias against people with a different skin color than you.
>the Karma excuse
Nice card you pulled. however, that definition of karma is false. Why should the descdendants of the slaveholders be held as guilty for something that their long-dead relatives did? Also, THE FACT IS: SLAVERY WAS PRACTICED BY ALL RACES AT AT LEAST SOME POINT IN HISTORY! Also, most Slaveowners in America who owned large plantations of more than a handful of slaves were Jewish, not White/Caucasian! If you are going to kill and physically harass a race for owning black slaves, look at the Jews/Israelites.
Yeah, as I was reading his first few comments, it looked like he was genuinely trying to help, but the further I read, the more I realized he was doing exactly what the original meme was mocking, and defending blacks at the expense of being racist towards white people
You're recommending The Bell Curve? A book which has been near-universally panned as racist and scientifically unfounded? I guess that comes as no surprise, seeing what a moronic anti-Semite you are. OMG it's teh evil Jooooooooooos!!!!11!!!11!11!!!
Look, if they really were dumb, we wouldn't have Neil DeGrasse Tyson as a leading scientist. If they really did score lower in IQ's, it's likely because they live in parts of cities that have poor education, or some other cause. Correlation does not causation. Also, in the sub-Sahara it's not like they could just settle down and develop an alphabet. It's not easy to settle down and have that luxury there.
I'm white and live in a nice house. Yet... It's not because of plantation-owning ancestors that I didn't even have. It's because of this thing called getting a good job.
Europe benefitted, too. Also, does that mean ever country should relinquish basically all their territories, as most of those territories were paid for in the blood of war?
No its not slavery. That is over and done with, Since the beginnging, humanity has been capable of wrongdoing and the like. IT IS NOT SPECIFIC TO one race. In fact. the trans-Atlantic trade was mostly controlled by Jews/kikes. this included the slave trade from Africa to the Americas. Most whites that owned slaves only owned 1 or 2, or 3 at most.
No you do NOT seem convinced You are more along the lines of an attention w**re who sucks of to Reddit/tumblr SJW idiots who idiotically believe in marxist SLUDGE AND UTTER SH-IT!
You claim not to be a Marxist, but you sound like one, with your statements of Europeans being a "racist" people, and Blacks being nothing but innocent oppressed people. Utter bullshit. anybody can be a bigot/prejudiced one, regardless of race. but YOU GLOSS OVER THAT, just like your Tumblrette idiot friends taught you, as well as that of your Cultural Marxist Social studies teacher.

Unfortunately, most of it is beaver making uninformed, and slightly racist themselves, comments after he misinterpreted the meme...

....HOLY SHIT!
Seriousy? ....I-wow......wow.
I can't think of anything funny for this....cause shit just went down...
Now if you'll excuse me, I'ma...get away from here...
