You're doing exactly what I said I couldn't wait for- playing the "poor totally-not-racist" white man.
Ahhh, so you were trolling.

You might be able to come up with a dozen results of black people killing white people just for being white, but I can come up with hundreds, thousands of the opposite.
Let's see it-I wanna see thousands of cases over the last, ooooh, say decade or so. And don't even be going back to Pre-gennum days because my ass is Irish, my Grandparents are off the boat and they were fucking oppressed serfs to the Brits til they left in 1900 so I got no sympathy here. I do know that where I live in Bmore there's racist crime of all types from both sides. I can name at least four cases pretty quick where white men where jumped in racial acts simply for being white in the wrong neighborhood.
quote:
Of course, there's always the fact that the privileged don't really have a place to tell the oppressed what is and is not offensive/oppressive.
I sure felt privileged when i was homeless and living on the streets, in shelters and eating at soup kitchens. Yeah, privileged, that's the word for it.
And we won't even discuss prison.
quote:
If you're a white man, as your icon seems to show, you have no place telling a person of color that teh poor wite menz are victims of black supremacy, even though straight white men run this country.
Who they fuck ever said that? I clearly stated that all people are racist. It's the human condition. We get frightened/threatened/insecure/challenged by the strange, the unusual, the different.
English-it's not that tough to read.Try it.

In the same way that men are not taught to be afraid of walking alone at night for fear of being raped, white men are not taught to be afraid of walking alone at night for fear of being lynched.
Nope, We don't get taught that. But we do get taught that there are some places, neighborhoods etc...that you don't go into if you wanna walk out with your skin...because the color of your skin will be considered reason enough to get a beat down.
Racism cuts both ways.
Are you denying that blacks can be racist too?
Please do, cuz I need a real good laugh right now...
quote:
Men have no place telling a woman that it's silly to be afraid to walk alone at night. Straight people have no place telling queer people what is and is not offensive or problematic. White people have no place telling a person of color what is and is not offensive or racist.
Ahhhh, and the biased racism comes out. Because only minorities can know what it's like to be biased against. We have no concepts of empathy, consideration, have no capacity to understand how another may feel, have zero idea of what suffering is.
Yeah right.
Keep slinging. The only one you are making look racist is, well, you.

"71.9 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-black bias.
16.3 percent were victims of an anti-white bias."
Well, seeing how blacks and minorities are almost never charged with hate crimes, that kinda skews the stats (And isn't the very concept of a "hate crime" kinda un-american? I mean, it implies that one person gets extra protection/rights from the law based on skin color, gender, sexual preference etc...And here I was thinking we were all created equal and enjoyed equal protection under the law. Silly, silly Kana)
And since you like links:

(There have been any number of similar attacks in Baltimore over the past few years. And this ain't alone. Face it, we live in a racist world. It's that simple. But don't go telling me that since I'm white, I'm not allowed to have opinions/feelings on this)
quote:
You're right, racism against whites is absolutely RAMPANT.
Nope-I said racism is rampant.
Again, I know dark skinned blacks who don't like light skinned ones. I also know blacks who don't like latins, puerto ricans, asians. Course, I also know latins who feel the same in reverse. And of course I know some whites who don't like blacks and vice versa. I can fer sure tell you one thing-When I was in prison, being white sure as fuck wasn't an advantage.
Wanna talk about feeling like a minority? Be the only white nonviolent offender in a tier filled with 23 black Class A violent offenders.
That was some scary ass shit there.
Personally, I think it's sad. Racism doesn't tell me a thing about the person being objectified, but it tells me worlds about the racist.
And on that note, it's simply delightful how much one can gather about another from a mere three posts...
