A cross-post from Hip Hop Cheerleader:
As a black person, if someone kills you, you better had been a perfect student, or been nice to all your co-workers, and been obedient in every way possible, you had better not fought for your life, or stolen anything, or had children out of wedlock, or been on welfare, or been a gang member, or drug dealer. You had better not been wearing a hoodie, or Nikes, or baggy pants. If you can, please put on a suit before you get killed. You had better not have braids, if you plan on getting killed. You had better not had gotten into a fight recently. Because having had done those things means that you were worth shit. That you deserved to die. Please try to keep that in mind.
& If you plan on getting raped, you better be white. & if you can’t manage that. You better ask your rapist to be stranger, someone who you weren’t in a relationship with, or out on a date with, or someone who you had sex with before. And you better not be a sex worker. Because sex workers cant be raped. Just so you know. You better be wearing long black clothes, be married, and be from a wealthy family. Make sure you are a virgin too. It would help also, if you were light skinned. if you had long hair. if you were thin. Dark skin marks you as a ho. As hypersexual. As undeserving of protection, autonomy, and bodily protection. Your rape doesn’t count. It would be good if you would keep this in mind.
& if your boyfriend beats you up. And you’re a black woman. You better have a reputation as a nice, quiet, docile woman. Because surely no one will care, if you talk back to your man, or if you stand up for yourself, or if you’re seen as a loud mouth ghetto bitch. if you plan on being in a violent relationship, make sure you’re educated and that you come from a two parent household. & make sure that this is the first time he’s ever hit you. You can’t forgive him & expect people to care when it happens again. This is a fact.
in short, if you want people to care about you or your life… you better NOT be black. or you better not act black. or you better not look black. you should be able to manage at least one of these. The thing is, when you’re a black person you never get the luxury of being innocent, of being a victim. You are already guilty. Your skin colors says so.

In America a Black Person has to be a ‘perfect victim in order to get attention, the reason the NAACP used Rosa Parks was her character could not be assailed by whites. Even though she was the treasuer of her local NAACP branch, there were other girls who were assaulted prior to Parks taking her seat but ehry could use because one was a teen mother and the other fought the cops back.
This is the Racial hierarchy that has always existed when it came to Black Victims. You better be perfect as Jesus Christ or White Americans will curcify your behind. Just ask Emmett Till, Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin or Eleanor Gumpers. These people were victims of racial violence but their character was impunged by the White media and most White People. Time and again defending their deaths by using racial statistics “cut and pasted” and cherrypicked from the DOJ to defend their postions. Or listening to Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute the grand dame of scientitic racism and crime amongst conservatives.
Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris slaughtred 23 innocent souls for no reason and the White Media made all sorts excuses for their behavior and many whites blamed Marilyn Manson, KFDM but not their upper-class two parent families who did not pay attention to these psychopaths or the fact that the Police had reported these guys were bullying their classmates months before the act occured. Almost 20 years later we still don’t study White Males shooting their classmates because they are indidivduals and not tied to the whole group. That’s why I have contempt from most White Americans because their rhetoric does not match their action.

This post angers me because it speaks truthfully about how our society views black people. Black have been dehumanized to the point where that our pain is irrelevant.

Just out of curiosity I did a search on “white people are superior” and got this result:
Asians: (Intelligent but weak)
Blacks: (Fit but unintelligent)
Hispanics: (More intelligent than blacks, less intelligent than asians. More physically able than asians, less physically able than blacks.)
WHITES: (Intelligent AND Strong!!!)We came into being in the harsh climates of Europe/Russia in the Ice Age. This unique environment required both STRENGTH and INTELLIGENCE. In that environment, an intelligent but weak man would die. The same can be said for a strong yet unintelligent man. White man had to be strong in order to deal with the harsh weather and large/aggressive fauna. At the same time, we had to be intelligent in order to track our prey through the mountainous/heavily forested terrain. We’re no longer in the Ice Ages now, so lets look at examples of our superiority in the modern world.
Sports: Though we excel at most sports, the best illustration comes from American Football. Though blacks are more common on NFL teams, notice that the percentage of whites rises in the quarterback position. This is because playing QB not only requires one to be physically able, but it also requires quick decision making. Only white men can truly provide this combination. Think back a moment to some of the great quarterbacks of NFL history:
– Terry Bradshaw (White)
– John Elway (White)…
The Arts: This needs very little explanation. The vast majority of history’s great painters, poets, authors, playwrights, musicians, sculptors, architects, etc.. were white.
Philosophy: Again, the best are mostly white.
Language: Listen to a song in Old Norse, Gaelic, German, or any other European language and notice how much better they sound when compared to African or Asian languages.
Science: The vast majority of significant inventions, theories, and technologies were created by white people.
Civilization: Compare the standard of living and human rights in countries with a white majority (US and European countries) with those of non-white majority countries.
The lists could go on and on, but I hope that I have provided a brief glimpse into our inherent superiority. I encourage all whites to delve further into this. Study our history and culture and see the beauty that we have brought to the world over the millennia.
…the potential for excellent physical condition and intelligence lies in our genes

Fans of the Hunger games were not happy nor surprised to see Rue killed off. It’s part of the story, and it was obvious that she was black, and was a very sympathetic character.

Rue in my opinion is the high point of the first book because Katniss for once acts for the welfare of another instead of being nearly completely selfish.
On the other hand, those who never read the book might be both clueless enough and racist enough to be surprised/happy that Rue was killed. These people are not what I would call fans though.

White Supremacy dictates that only White people are human. As such they are the only creatures on earth, also dogs, that deserve the benefit of the doubt. This is just one of the many benefits bestowed upon Whites by the doctrine of White Supremacy.
This is why it is important to be vigilant when fighting against White Supremacy, no matter where it lurks, in education, in health care, in the justice system and in the media.
Many non-White people think that by being apart of the system they can make a difference. Like for instance a Black person who thinks if they become a police officer they can make a difference. They don’t realize that one person trying to stand up against White Supremacy is like a mosquito trying to fly through a tornado.
We can’t change White Supremacy. We can only destroy it. That is the only answer. But we have to stop assimilating and buying into that system. This is the hard part. Each time we do buy into the system we make it stronger. When we trust the justice system to give us justice, when we trust the public educational system to educate us and our children, when we dial 911 expecting help, we are just perpetuating the system.
All of that is so hard not to do. The only way that we can truly destroy White Supremacy is through revolution. There’s no other way. Talking will not work, asking will not work, only revolution.
And since that doesn’t seem to be eminent I’m not sure what we can do to change the way things are.

They don’t beat up old men in Olney or on 11th and Snyder for fun. They don’t beat the Chinese guy to death because his wife overcharged them a quarter. They don’t get in an uproar over a Temple student shooting back at a mugger and demand that white people be banned from the neighborhood. They don’t shoot into houses owned by white people in Point Breeze or leave dead dogs on the doorstep of the Jewish guy rehabbing abandoned housing. They don’t rape and strangle hookers and leave their corpses on the pavement of Kensington Avenue.

Well, according to the numerous rats in Philly mob they did kill innocents too and they did shoot people in broad day light in the middle of the street like Michael Ciancaglini, or in a restaurant full of customers like in the Meletis Restaurant, where totally innocent and outsider Janette Curro was shot straight into head and killed. She was not the first and not the last either.
And according to the numerous rats like Jimmy DeGregrio etc. in Pagans MC they have beaten up numerous people who just happened to be at the same bar as they, they have killed people who have had nothing to do with motorcycle clubs, and famously, in late 1970’s they killed a young woman in Florida when she did not do what seh was told to do and threw her body to the alligators, this according to the rats.

As you stated, racism will always exist in some form on this planet. None of us are mind-readers, we don’t really know the true beliefs of a person. Whatever bias is in someone’s head, we can’t decode it so to speak. A lot of black people have wasted a lot of time trying to make whites and others like them for whatever reason. We need to realize that unhappy people are naturally miserable. I can’t please everybody, and i don’t try to. I don’t care about being liked, i want to be respected…Bottomline!

I’d like nothing more than this to be true. I agree with you that they are indeed raging and whatnot. But historical and present experience suggests otherwise racism isn’t dying -yet.

I’m just not seeing enough evidence – that is large numbers of racists abandoning the “superiority” blinders that hinders them and corrodes their souls. A few have, but then there has always been a few. A really tiny few.
The *tipping point,* numerically speaking, seems too far away. Perhaps in 40 years or so when whites become the minority group in the US their collective thinking might change – though I would not bet on that.

By the way the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael A. Nutter who is Black, recently said the following:
“In a combative speech on Sunday at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Mayor Nutter said that young black men have to stop acting like “sperm donors” and “human ATMs.” He admonished parents for failing to supervise and expect good behavior from their children. And he directly implicated habits and styles of some young black men in the city.
“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied and your pants half-down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you?” Nutter told the congregation “They don’t hire you ’cause you look like you’re crazy. You have damaged your own race.”
“I am a proud black man in this country,” Nutter said in a subsequent interview with the Associated Press. “It was a message that needed to be said. It needed to be said at this time . . . People have had enough of this nonsense, black and white.”

“”As I’ve stated before, I believe some young blacks act out in public because they know how frightening black people appear to some whites and it gives them a sense of power. That’s not an excuse for the behavior, but it’s a very real component.
“It’s always embarrassing for law-abiding African-Americans with good children when this stuff happens. I know because I hear from them in the same numbers I hear from white readers who want to blame every black family for raising criminal offspring.”
“Frankly, the latter group can get pretty tiring.”
I am guessing that even the most racist of Whites on this blog would admit that the large majority of American Black people are not violent.. but that said.. from too many personal experiences and those of friends, relatives, etc..and yep… statistics from many sources to see if I was just facing an anomaly… the risk of violence (or anyone) to me in a poor Black community is generally markedly higher than in a poor White community. And oh.. by the way, I also stayed in Harlem in 1989 during the “crack war era” as you describe it for a month and nothing happened to me and the people I encountered there were generally pleasant. But for my 50 plus years of living in the US, I have encountered violence from Black people much more often than from Whites. As I noted in an earlier post, I also now avoid young White males when they are drunk since they can be absolute douches. It’s a matter of weighing risk.

The whole, “Well black people have to deserve bad things happening to them, we all know how blacks really are and we should bring all their dirt to the surface at all opportunity to evaluate whether or not one of them should be treated like a victim” is getting tiring, and it’s been the constant debate. The logic is ridiculous. No one took Natalie Holloway, looked at her and said, “Gee well porn says white women are promiscuous, and she DID go out of the country and party! Just look at those pictures! If only white people would take responsibility for those loose white women, then maybe we’d feel sympathy for her or her mother! Maybe her mother would have a right to want justice if she didn’t show manipulative pictures of her! Let’s hack her facebook to see if she was really a slut!” It just makes no sense.
I see no reason to justify why a black woman can be raped and be put on trial, or a young black man can be shot and have his character assassinated. People of color should not have to be put through a trial to be a victim, a victim is a victim. Why are only white people allowed to feel victimized without having to jump through hoops to prove why they deserve sympathy? Justice is not some special privilege that is reserved for white people, last time I checked. At least not after it became bad to treat it that way.
If I am attacked, am I going to have to expect white people everywhere to be given the right to judge my life like a jury? Will I be expected to have my life picked apart and every negative little thing used to justify whether or not I deserve justice for that attack?

I sort of am, but I”m also speaking generally. I was really only referencing your post in passing, but it gave me an in to express my feelings on the “black victim-hood” subject. There seems to be this idea that black people have to be nice and happy at all times or risk being seen in a purely negative light, which just isn’t fair. If my friend can walk outside and be looked down on because some white person saw a black person who had a bad day and acted out, that’s wrong.
I was also referring to a post which said that poor black neighborhoods were more violent or dangerous than poor white neighborhoods. I hate that train of logic because it uses a circumstance that many can’t escape from (at least not easily) and uses it to justify another circumstance (being black and discriminated against). If someone does that, they’re using one group of disenfranchised people to attack another and it’s not fair to either of them. It always bothers me when people who don’t grow up in black poor neighborhoods use them as a faceless boogeyman to justify their own racist opinion. It seems like just another way to use people you’d never openly visit or get to know to supplement your opinion.
Also, thank you for the links. In regards to Natalie Holloway, was there a mainstream media wide attempt to see her as purely at fault? Did people rush to the defense of her killer by claiming she wore the wrong clothes? Did people call her mother manipulative for openly grieving and displaying a positive image of her daughter? And finally, did people think they had the right to invade her personal life and hack into her accounts in order to find dirt on her to justify why her killer should be free? Did 90% of people support doing all of those things?
On black women being attacked and blamed, I am referring to the tactic of character assassination that seems to be carried out whenever there is a black victim of a crime (or a black death in general). It’s not just black women, but women of color in general who get that treatment. There’s a distinct lack of respect or empathy shown. People feel that they’re somehow entitled to judge the worth of that woman before she can be allowed the justice or sympathy she deserves, and that’s wrong. If I can reference a recent case of a woman of color having her skin color (or country of origin) used against her: The Dominic Strauss Kahn scandal would be one. There was more of an attempt to act xenophobic towards the victim than actually put her attacker behind bars, because he was white and influential, and she was a woman of color and a foreigner. There was an attempt to slander her, bring up her past as an alleged prostitute, bring up her immigration status, anything to paint her as less of a victim. People were calling for her deportation when he’d raped an employed woman on US soil.

I think it’s a red herring. I’m mainly speaking in general. To be able to truly take a racist view of someone, you have to be prepared to project your own behavior onto them so that you seem less culpable. If it appears that a majority of white people support anti-black violence or propaganda (or the right to incite that), they would then need to show a black population who overwhelmingly supports criminals and has an equivalent, hence the fixation on Al Sharpton or the Black Panthers (you always see racists complaining about those, as if they’re existence somehow cancels out any potential black victimization). Therefore, in a discussion on black victims and how they are viewed and treated, the response is to attempt to derail the victimization. They do this by cherry picking facts that support an image of a violent black monolith who are inherently less sympathetic and therefore not good victims.
For example:
Crime statistics have nothing to do with why certain people are “victims” and others are always at fault. If it were just about black crime, then there’d have been no racism prior to a certain time period. This treatment has been going on for a long time, far before black people had any sort of power to affect their own situation, and it neglects to acknowledge the fact that white violent criminals have existed for a very long time (and no one has ever tried to argue that white people can’t be innocent victims of violence due to that), they didn’t suddenly become black. To bring up black crime allows people to have a way to justify their own racism, which then allows them to question the legitimacy of a “black victim” without being seen as the “bad guy”. After all, if you are a part of a race who supposedly glorifies violence or criminal behavior, your are inherently less trustworthy and therefore you aren’t really a victim.

No.. because for years it was a missing person case not a murder case.
Inherently to prove self defense case one has to demonstrate the deceased was the aggressor. And with rape cases the accused basically has two options “It wasn’t me..” Mistaken identity.. which case if correct the accuser’s memory would be wrong.. or the sex was consensual, then the defendant would have to prove that the accuser was lying or delusional.
Neither situation applied to Natalee Hollaway.. there were suspects but the murderer was not truly known until years later. And as far as I know she wasn’t raped.. the more important issue was that she was murdered.. and her killing wasn’t claimed by anyone to be in self defense.
Crime statistics have nothing to do with why certain people are “victims” and others are always at fault.
Crime statistics.. affirm what I have experienced and hence I have learned I should avoid.. and that would include young White guys who have been drinking… I do my best to avoid being a victim statistic.

Well they have been for me.. that of course does not mean everyone in such neighborhood’s or even the majority are criminals. Most aren’t. But it’s a matter of weighing risk… we can delve into the social issues that cause the violence but the reality for me is that I have no interest in experiencing the violence, period. Zero tolerance. If you walked through a redneck neighborhood and got called n*gg*r and were threatened or attacked (And the police never caught your attackers.. ) would you continue to walk through redneck neighborhoods..?
I am referring to the tactic of character assassination that seems to be carried out whenever there is a black victim of a crime
Over 95% of the Black people killed in this country are killed by other Black people.. you fell that the media engages in character assassination in these events…?
The Dominic Strauss Kahn scandal would be one.
Well DSK had to put $6 millions to be released on bail. Compare that to the Kobe Bryant case where Kobe had to put up $25,000. Both case involve women accusing wealthy famous men of rape whereas the men stated the sex was consensual. In the Kobe case the accuser was White and in the DSK case the accuser was Black. The accuser in the Kobe had her name revealed publicly and also had photos of her partying plastered across the internet and in a few tabloids. Both cases collapsed because of inconsistencies in the accuser’s stories.
There’s actually a fairly close inverse situation to the Trayvon Martin case or at least how it played out in the media (albeit it had basically zero national coverage..):

You see, isolation leads to blindness. I’ve seen it with blacks AND whites (and women). If people get together among their own & start playing “poor me” & “evil them” records, it devolves into hate & bigotry. Sorry, that’s just the facts.
Not permitting any other view…is what the politics of it is all about, IMO, and why non-Democrat blacks are so ostricized for not going with the flow of mass black opinion, despite the fact that social convictions of many black christians are much more in line with non-liberal politics, IMO. If you avoind discussion & ignore the fact that many blacks are often racist every bit as much as whites, for whatever reason, then the outcome will be self-defeating, unless blacks really have no true desire to end racism. This, however, is the problem: if racism is a two-way street, it places some reasponsibility on each party & hating cannot be easily justified. Sure, to some it may “feel good” to hate & vent against whites, but it only causes harm to both whites & blacks in matters of race relations, I would think.

HOW TO BE A WHITE VICTIM by Truthbetold
1. Spew racial hatred gleefully but when anyone corrects you, cry that your First Amendment right has been taken away.
2. Visit black blogs, frequently, and complain that the blog has no White Point of View, which is unfair since whites are purposefully being ostracized.
3. Say vile things about black women; be sure to describe body odor, hair texture, dialect, intimate details in which she ” underperforms” and when someone points out that you’re being racist, claim that’s impossible…you had a black girlfriend, so you can’t possibly be racist.
4. Fear and envy the sinewy, dark flesh of the Black Man. Emulate his walk, talk, dress, prowess in areas that you fall short but be sure to remind him that he is an inferior being. When he challenges you, however diplomatically, claim a bodily threat and call the police at once. For the Black Man lives and breathes to cause violence. When prompted by the police what started this, claim innocence with your wide blue eyes and soft spoken voice. This will assure his arrest.
5. While at work, “befriend” a black co-worker. Cozy up to her. Buy her coffee (she likes cream and sugar), compliment how smart she is, how dedicated to her work. Ask her to share her ideas on the Smith Proposal, you know, the multi-million dollar account which will get you that nice car, and remember to smile at her…blacks feel better when you give a plastic grin.
When her guard is down, steal it.
All of it.
Present it to Mr. Man as your idea and get that nice BMW.
When she confronts you, crying and injured, feign innocence then file a complaint against her with Human Resources. After all, it’s not your fault she’s not fast enough on her feet.
6. While in the neighbourhood, if you see a Black Man, your nemesis, adding a second story, painting his house, planting flowers…anything to beautify his home and you only have that “starter ranch” be sure to document every loud noise, every permit, real or fake then call the building inspector/ township leader to file a complaint. If he has a vegetable garden then the Dep. of Agriculture is the way to go. When he asks you why you have done this, remind him how lucky he is to be in the neighbourhood in the first place. Then tell him you feel threatened by his “confrontation” and insinuate that you know the local Sherriff.
7. Watch BET, which is owned by Mr. Redstone, and grow angry that Whites aren’t being fairly represented. Write a letter, an angry one explaining this and tell all your friends how racist Blacks are for having their “own network” .
8. Gloss over every detail in white history that shows your race to be the most wicked, evil, hateful, demonic force that ever lived with facts about black on black violence. Be sure to add that you were beaten up by a random Black Man at age 10.
9. Dismiss any claims that Blacks are experiencing racism.
After all, you didn’t see it so it must not have happened.
10. After carefully reading this list, claim my insanity, racism, buffoonery, ignorance. After all, I am black. What do I know? Then post a responce to Abagond about how you hate communication with Blacks because we refuse to accept our inferiority. Then come back tomorrow and start all over again.

In fact many blacks give whites too much of the benefit of the doubt until some epiphany occurs or they figure out covert racism eventually. Your verbiage marks you as a racist.

As for myself, I’m done venting. Our next revolution doesn’t need their consent or cooperation, so talking to them is a waste of time whether they’re liberal or conservative. We only need to endeavor becoming an economic powerhouse together as a community. Green trumps Black and White both, so their feelings do not stress or concern me. Their racism effects us because they control education and employment which are fundamental to our survival (it’s no surprise that the racism we encounter is at school and work). The solution is to simply control our own education and employment. Aside from violence, property damage (which the Civil Rights covers), or that supposed Race War, there is nothing they can do to stop us.

As for my posts, I’d say nobody can claim that about any of them, and to say I had a post that was moderated for a racist slur as being something against me & my views on race….is a total joke. Someone uses the f-word above, with no moderation – I guess because it was shrewdly mispelled. So, if in sarcasm or cynicism I used a term like “crachars” or “whytees” (but didn’t mispell it), that is oh so terrible. The fact it was used against me is proof of bigotry. Sorry, just is, considering all the bigotry here by POC,…and that…when I was simply trying to be helpful & honest.
You see, you hate me because I am proof that “all” whites are not the racists you claim us to be. In fact, stupid as i am, I actually thought someone here might like an honest dialogue, instead of only seeing such a limited view from within their bubble of hate, with their like-minded haters surrounding them. That’s the facts. If some POC suffered something, other POC want to make sure they have no chance to NOT hate whites. — It’s called USING YOU, when POC do that…for power, for self-aggrandizement, for a racist agenda, for inciting you, keeping you in line, brainwashing, & making themselves feel okay about their own racist hate & hate-mongering.
What’s really LMAO funny is that POC use the N- word alllll the time, but I get poked at for being white & using something less offensive…even to whites? LOL. If POC, here, simply want to have a place to hate in peace, alone, then why complain of whites being racist? Do as I say & not as I do, huh? Is that it? Whites don’t do enough for you, so we need to get out of the way or REALLY help? Just as a reminder,…I took my former employer to court…all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court…alone, without any lawyers,…DOING something, when among other things, I was run out of my job & career after I refused to do discrimination. Proof of it can be seen on a site called Supremely UNjust & another one called RainingDaylight.
Oh yeah, I’m living in a tent – have worn out THREE tents already….due to it all. The NAACP, ACLU, Obama, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpeton, Quanell-X
—- none of them would help in the least. Most would not reply at all. So, tell me again about how whites do nothing and how blacks don’t get any help. Just HOW good it could have been to HELP your cause if a WHITE man is standing up against discrimination & has proof of it, where nobody can say trash about it supposedly only being a disgruntled POC who didn’t get hired. Truth, right? Those orgs & people should have been jumping on the chance to get something done. There should have been protests in the street about it. Why? Because I have absolute proof – see the Supremely Unjust website & also the drop-menu showing emails & such. The Petition documents & drop-menu evidence shows my boss gave an ILLEGAL reason when I confronted her over it.
So, some of you wanna whine & call whites racist, but you put up with USERS who do nothing but hate-mongering & race-baiting & not real effort to make REAL, GOOD, change. You sit in your isolated, enclosed worlds of hate, probably knowing no whites at all in RL, staying within the black community, acting different just to be different, wearing baggy pants, three-four pair of underwear, earrings, a dewrag, have a funky “cool” walk, then go out in public just waiting for someone to stare…so you can claim everyone is a racist.
Riiiiiiiiight. NOT even funny. You don’t have to do eveything so different to be who you are or to claim self-respect. You hinder your own selves by so much seff-differentiation, isolation, & hatred. — not all of you, but the ones who don’t & who succeed…then get hated as if betraying their own race.

So, I’m guessing that the racist thing to do is to hate whites as somehow “different” for doing the same or maybe actually far less harm to POC, overall & worldwide, if anyone wants to acknowledge the true facts.

So true, what you said.
It isn’t like the Chinese haven’t murdered their own & others in the past, and the white Europeans killed lots of whites in Europe & the world in the WWs. Japanese killed Chinese, whites, & others. Blacks – both Egyptians/Cushites and also further into Africa have historically killed lots of POC, and Egyptians killed & enslaved lots of people all around them, right? It is not considered a problem, to most commenters, because it isn’t what they want to be upset about. There seems to be a special desire to hate whites, rather.
Well, if POC really do not wish to live together with others and if intermarriage is only regarded as despicable “whitening” of the black race, as someone mentioned on this site, then what WOULD you like to do? What are some alternatives?
If you could form your own state/s, whether within the USA or without, what ideas would you consider? You have to consider things. If you don’t want to be part of all things, being miserable & hateful will only make everyone miserable. I could see that with the modern ideas about self-determination, that it COULD be possible to have a state of the union that is rather self-determined & run by, for, as….a black state. Why not? OR do you wish rather to go off somewhere else entirely? The 2nd would cost $$ for such a move & relocation. That elderly black lady who won many $milions recently could offer something and ask others to donate …or put it up on one of those fund-raising sites.
It all takes planning, thoughtfulness, etc., but that one fellow who said blacks didn’t do a lot of gains w/o whites helping in it was not far off the mark. It will all take $$$$$$, and political actions, including non-blacks, to make such plans work. The reason I mentioned a distinct state is that to make an entirely new nation, although feasible, would mean things like self-defense, police, military, transportation network, etc. — all very expensive. You would not want drug cartels taking advantage of disarray in the infancy of it all & ruining it, right? If it is too far, travel is a bigger expense, too, for anyone wanting to go there. I do know that French Guiana has a high black population, but not sure many people with to go that way – tropical diseases & such, but plenty of space & natural resources I think. Of course, that’s a part of France right now, so a slight problem there. It is all something that needs a lot of thought, and you are mistaken if there is teh notion that whites only want POC to never be happy. Maybe you can make a constructive thread on this matter for ideas, if POC feel there is too much “water under the bridge” & hate to want to simply be part of overall American society. There is a way to focus on the matter that can be constructuve & nice enough & could gain help without seeming hateful & radical. Hate & radicalism won’t bring as much of the $$$$ that would be needed possibly.

Sure, go to African history, too, and you will see that whites were not the first, the worst, or the last, to do anything wrong against blacks. . . Likewise, muslims have done far worse than Christians in such matters, too.
If you knew anything about African history, you insufferable pest, you’d know that the Muslims didn’t, because, guess what: Africans were/are Muslim! At least the ones north of the equator populating the Sahel. While Africans got a raw deal in Persia and Kuwait, in the Sahel Arabs and Africans held each other in mutual respect. The Whites went to learn from the Arabs in Cordoba, and the Arabs learned from the African in Timbucktu. It was Ezana, a Christian King of Ethiopia, that allowed the muslims to take refuge in his land. What did the Christian Kings of Europe do to muslims?
There was slavery, yes, but the brutality of chattel slavery was only done twice. Once in Kuwait and Persia, where we rebelled and sacked their capital, and again in the Americas.

PoC get background searches conducted by the media and a bunch of extremists on the Internet trying to prove their point why people of color deserve to be harassed and killed no matter how unjust it actually may be.
Plenty will make up rumors and start mindlessly presenting “facts” of other bias cases of black on black crime (which really isn’t the point). It’s just deflecting the actual topic that people are killed for their race/ethnicity alone.

Next the person will cry “anti-racism” is “anti-white!” for their next to last resort , clearly showing they have no clue what the word racism means.
Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to **rule others***.
Using “Science” to “prove” why a race is “superior” and runs the world “better” is still racism, some hide it under the curtain of “oh it’s just a scientific study , you can’t hate scientific studies right?”

William,
You said, “I have worked with lots of POC, hired lots of POC, trained & mentored them, worked for them, recuited on a black university campus. In fact, I have probably done more for blacks’ wellbeing than most posters here ever have. Then, it cost me everything,…and i was too white for any blacks to care. Jokes on me, lol. No wonder if there is so few willing to help make good things happen for the black community if that’s all it is like, as many will simply give up trying.”
So, what do you want, a medal or something?
You expected helping black people to not be a struggle? Then, you were not fully prepared to do the job in the first place. To help a marginalized group is not about making yourself look good, but about doing the right thing without expectations or recognition. This things are never easy. That’s why it’s a struggle.
You said, “Imagine, too, if someone posted something somewhere that said ONLY whites can make a post. Then, I wouldn’t be able to count the number of blacks claiming how racist it was, hahahaha.”
In case you’ve missed the memo, IT IS RACIST.
You may not realize it, but this society is geared to have the last word said by mostly white people on basically everything and anything. The post was made so that PoC like myself could have a say without whiteness poking in telling us how we should feel, think, and do. We’ve heard enough of that in our lifetimes. We need a break.
You said, “If I have a racist bone in my body, it is far less than any of you that I’ve seen posting here. As for 400 years, I’m not that old, so let me guess, it is the collective guilt thing again? Does that work both ways & make all POC collectively guilty of the crimes that any other POC committed? Heh,..no, both ways. BTW, various commenters are angry (& understandably so) over wrongs that have been done on POC by whites through hundreds of years, but why stop there…& here?”
Here’s the double standard trick white people always pull. They group PoC, mostly blacks, with crimes made by a few black criminals. To them, those criminals are representatives of the whole race. Therefore, black people are criminals. It’s that simple.
On the other hand white people want to be seen as a collective based on achievements and accomplishments in the past and present. Ergo, white people are superior human beings.
Now, here’s where the double standard is turned on its head:
Black accomplishments, inventions, achievements, or anything positive is either seen as extremely rare or they are somehow not as significant as white accomplishments. At the same time white crimes past or present is seen as an individualistic concern, is downplayed when compared to black crimes, excused based on racist myths or is ignored altogether. No matter what, most whites will disassociate themselves from the sins of other whites.
You see William, you can–as so many before you–claim how you’re not racist and that we’re the real racists, but white racism is a juggernaut. Black racism is a speed bump. We have more to worry about with white racism than you do with black racism. White racism is all around us, and instead of trying to distance yourself from this disease, you could learn more about it, yourself, and us instead of trying to put up a weak defense that is crumbling down.

That’s why I get irked to hear terms like “all” whites as if it means absolutely nothing to any POC for any white person to do anything, anyway. BTW, I didn’t do all that to prove myself not racist, but because I hate wrong….and like righteousness. That’s just how I am – how a lot of whites are but get hated anyway, just because of the SOME bigmouthed racist whites that DO cause trouble.

I’m not someone else, so maybe my posts can be regarded as independent from other whites who said bad things just like POC want to not be viewed as the same as those POC of have committed bad crimes – not all have, of course.
As for disassociating from the “sins of other whites”, lol, that sounds like when POC wish to disassociate with the same regarding the wrongs done by POC, right? Why is is only one-way? My forebears left Europe as a persecuted minority & immigrated to the USA in the mid 1800s and didn’t believe in slavery. Is there a good reason why they are guilty for what was done by others, mostly before that time? They also were not part of the slaving nations of Europe. The issue is political, mindset, and $$$. The sad fact is that slavery happened …and muslims, No. African blacks, & profit-hungry rich whites….all decided to make convenient $$ off of it all. Now, we are faced with trying to undo the harms of a relative few, although they did also encite others to do harm, too, but it was far from “all” whites. If so, they would not have ended slavery & felt compelled enough to do more in civil rights & voting matters for POC.
Actually, that knowledge should not be hated but rather welcomed, as it means there ARE whites who are caring about the problems blacks face. I will probably go away soon, as there is only animosity against all whites here, so no use bothering to reason, it seems. Still, that hate seems illogical & counterproductive for anyone who truly cares about helping POC feel more accepted & at home in America.

The first part is exactly the problem. White America is obsessed with black people and obsessed in their disdain for them no matter what they do. So, why can’t there be a tit for tat? Why can’t we flip the script especially in a society such as this?
I didn’t say that you were the type to downplay or ignore black accomplishments. I don’t know if you ever did in this blog, but you were tip-toeing down that avenue.
Of course PoC don’t want to be grouped as one whenever a crime is committed by a PoC of that group. We want to be seen as individuals, the privilege that whites have in this society. Sadly, that is not true. Speaking as a black man I will tell you that one is enough to criminalize the whole race. A few is enough to condemn them as long as they are within the crosshairs of the white gaze.
Moving on, you said “As for disassociating from the “sins of other whites”, lol, that sounds like when POC wish to disassociate with the same regarding the wrongs done by POC, right? Why is is only one-way? My forebears left Europe as a persecuted minority & immigrated to the USA in the mid 1800s and didn’t believe in slavery.

Okay. Again, if you can separate yourselves from sins done my members of your group, why is the usual reaction from mostly white people is to bring up examples of black crime as if to prove the violent, savage nature of black people as a whole? White people have always tried to convince the public that black people are responsible for most of the crimes in this country, that most blacks are criminals, and that most crimes by blacks are against whites. Why can’t black people argue against that and tell have their say? Think about it.
Even if the white population born in recent years did not entirely have an ancestor who was a slave master, by and large white people in America benefit from it not just financially, but just by being born with white skin. That’s what it comes down to. White skin in this country is worth more than gold itself.
I do not dispute that there are whites who genuinely care. I know there are just like I know there are whites who are enlightened. They are the ones who have actually learned about blacks from the best possible sources, blacks themselves. So, why won’t you do the same by not speaking? What’s keeping you from hearing us out and listening to us? What’s keeping you from reading what we’ve wrote? Why not learn from people who don’t agree with you? (When I say you, I don’t mean ‘you’ in particular)
Why do you think there is animosity towards whites here? The pain and hurt we feel is ancient and uncured. White people by and large have yet to even give a heartfelt apology for their sins on PoC let alone have made a significant effort in correcting them without looking for something in return. There are some who are working. They know the reality of it all because they learned from the people themselves. They do not try to defend white honor. They do not try to excuse or ignore the past. They took it head on.

When people are poor, they canot afford so much education, which COULD lead some to think there were an intelligence inferiority, mistakenly. People are people, and when applying our minds, people learn.
A bro. of mine lever did well in books all during our childhood, but I did, and so did some others in the family. He was a very active “doer”, and when he got to H.S. & started taking shop classes, he got ribbons, trophies & medals all over his wall going to regionals & to state chamionships. Later,…in the Navy, he finally started doing better in books, but it stated mainly in what he could put his hands into. Some people are visual & hands-on and science indicates some learn better via hearing or seeing. Still, no $$ for education is a problem for so many.
Quality of education is an issue, too, as well as environment.
My former supervisor had told me to not discriminate against blacks. In part, I understood that she had seen some POC with attitudes from a particular school and some who were going to college that still seemed unprofessional or used poor grammar; but, that’s not how she said it, and discrimination was something I would not go along with at all. Some POC who had hired on, with some college already, spoke with maybe 7th grade English grammar – maybe worse, at times, and we needed people with professional communications skills who would be representing our NPO with parents, schools, & even some state officials at times. Slang speech is okay at home, but not in a professional position. Yet, without better grammar at home, it is hard to not learn bad grammar & hard to get out of the habit of it. I had things I had to get past in my own poor white, slang English environment, lol. It is sooo tough to get beyond hurdles like that. A lot more POC are going to college these days, so I expect that will drop off more & more & be less of an issue in the future. Also, there is a difference between both parents working to provide with little time to help kids with homework (maybe even single-parent)….and a home where one parent has a real nice job for all the income, while the other can afford to stay home, help kids with homework, etc. – more individual attention & help for school-kids there, which can make a big difference.

Close, but no cigar. My family is well off (though it got rougher after the crash), and while I wouldn’t say my education was quality, I never doubted my personal intellect. It’s the unspoken “common sense” that states: “Your ancestors did nothing, wrote nothing, built nothing, and accomplished nothing”, because outside of the American context our history and literature is largely ignored. So even someone like myself who is arguably upper-middle class, still has racial baggage. To top it off, the media is saturated with Cooning fools; the only identity a Black person is granted. That’s just two examples, there are more so deep and subtle I cannot scratch them.

“…..obsessed in their disdain for them no matter what they do.”
That small part …is the reason. You see, I was raised w/a strong sense of personal justice. I also used to get upset with one of my dad’s “solutions”. He’d say that if he spanked both my AND my younger brother, he’d make sure he got the right (deserving) one. Hah, I was well-behaved mostly, so my bro. would hold it over on me – that if he somehow got in trouble, I would get whipped, too. A lot of (white) people can understand personal accountability &.justice based on individual merit, so it bothers some of us if we do right and get lumped together & hated all the same, which is what you indicate is how it is with lots of blacks for a long time. Yeah, you can tit-for-tat, now, but I see a lot changing for the better in white minds regarding race, so why derail it?
In my old work, a lot hinged on “perception” – how people perceive you, even if you did nothing wrong. A kid hit another kid, teacher doesn’t see it. He hits back, the teacher turns around JUST IN TIME to see it. The perception?
– That the 2nd kid did something horrible. You might not notice it yet, but lots of whites’ thinking are changing more favorably towards POC, and now is not the time to be the “2nd kid” doing tit-for-tat, as that would look so bad & hinder “perceptions” about fairness of treatment in calling all whites “racist” just when their views are getting better about race. IMO, a site like this will tend to attract (a minority of) the “bad whites” who can’t shut up their racist hate & who have a real problem, themselves.

I do….., and yet I also see the hurt as a potential problem if it turns only into reverse racism, which understandably could be hard to control with some of the (apparently white) posters I’ve seen on here. Still, it will only add fuel to a fire that builds hurt for people on both sides of the issue. I therefore find it hard to see it happening & not try to avert the negatives. One young POC who worked for me had big problems for awhile & a “chip on her shoulder” to boot. I worked hard to develop understanding between us. At one point, a tough situation, I asked her to see teh situation from my (employer’s) point of view, and then she understood what I was looking at. We actually learned to depend on each other and she invited me to her wedding we became so close. For things to work out, we have to see each others’ point of view. It affects us all & our families & all our futures. I can understand the point of view of black hurt, somewhat. I also had become homeless for a long while, years ago, for not doing illegal stuff at another job. I know what it’s like to hear people click their electric door-locks at intersections, as if I was a criminal, just because I was homeless. I know about hassles from cops, being shot at, threatened, etc….like a dog with no place to go…and nothing I could do without it being worse. Still,…while I’m always learning,…I also hope to help…and to avert potential troubles. Part of my work before this last matter went down…involved having to necessarily look for potential problems that could harm kids – lots of them, so I tend to look at things for potential bad results…to try to avoid problems for people. Hate – even “perceived hate”, can make more harm than good. Logical & reasonable outcry about injustice can help, however.

The case involved alleged discrimination against blacks & men, etc., and info on the 2nd site shows EEOC rubberstamping, non-investigation, lying to a Congressman, and that they have no sworn statement from the employer (required) nor did they subpoena the employer (required by Law if no sworn statement). IOW, they had no legal validity for closing down the case so fast, apparently.
Also, same site proves multiple judges allowed known perjury in court & then quickly kicked the case out without allowing a jurt trial — big violation of U.S. 7th Amendment & the Law! This white plaintiff should by Law at least get a jury trial. Fact is, there is proof of criminal activity in the case, including felonies, yet no prosecution whatsoever, so far. As a white man, I gotta say that a lot of white people, even here in the south, don’t believe in racism, including in the workplace — rather, hiring & firing based on merit. This is a conservative principle. If POC will view things this way and go by the Constitution, I think they will be welcomed among conservatives, which I feel has more in common with a lot of blacks – Christians, people with strong family values, people against the millions of abortions of black babies, etc.
On the flip side, nobody else can address any cultural problems among the black community like POC themselves can, so that is what must be done in certain areas, lest the culture disintigrate & collapse. That would affect all America. The same is true about problems among other cultures & ethnicites — we all got them, somehow or another.
