Repost: This was first posted two years ago today. With 1,778 comments, its thread is no longer usable. I am closing the original to comments and reposting it here. Only the “See also” section has been changed – I still agree with what I said in the original post:
Why do many White Americans hate, demonize, fear and look down on blacks? I am no scientist or scholar, but here is I how I currently think about it. This post is very much a work in progress.
There are plenty of things that keep white racist thinking in place:
- Racist messages in jokes, history books, the news and on television, etc,
- Material self-interest,
- Fear of becoming an outcast among whites
and so on. But this is not the heart of the matter.
Not even material self-interest. After all, plenty of poor whites are racist. About all they have to show for it is this: “At least I’m not black.” And that gives it away: it is about white self-image.
My current understanding of the white self-image:
- Narcissism – having no true sense of self-worth they put up a false front to persuade the world, and most of all themselves, that they do have worth. They mainly do this through money, but also by putting down others to make themselves look better. Deep down they know the whole thing is a lie, which makes them all the more desperate to uphold the front.
- Dichotomous thinking – either/or thinking. Their films often have characters who are either all good or all evil. When you ask them about it they say that of course they know the world is not that simple, that it is just a storytelling device. Yet much of their thinking is very either/or, black-or-white. The One Drop Rule is a good example. So is their idea that they are Basically Good, getting upset when you point out anything that does not fit that overblown self-image. Like that maybe they are racist. Worst of all, it means they cannot accept people who are too different: if you are not the same as us then there must be something wrong with you. Either/or.
- Moral blindness – this is huge. Every single black person in the eyes of white people is the sign of a terrible crime from their ugly past, a reminder that their life is a fraud, that they are pretty much nothing more than armed robbers. But #1 and #2 make it hard for them to simply own up to their past and make it right. Instead they deny, shift blame, lie, twist facts and make black people into these creatures that they look down on, laugh at and yet, oddly, fear. It is a failed attempt to be at peace with themselves. This is why whites need to give reparations more than blacks need to receive it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.
I know that sounds extreme – partly because we have “white is right” pounded into our heads night and day – but their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.

“their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them”: this is so true and sad. It only takes a second to look around and see the world we’re living in, ruled by the so called white “culture& civilization”. I don’t comment very often, but I keep on reading.Thanks

Abagond,
I believe your assessment of white people is true, both corporately and pervasively true of individual so-called white people. However, I wonder whether you start with the premise that human nature is basically good but flawed, or human nature is basically evil despite knowing right from wrong. Elijah Muhammad called whites devils and so did David Walker, but they had different anthropologies. What’s yours? Best wishes for a Happy New Year.

“their history shows that something is wrong with them” statement made me laugh,despite the issue surrounding it.
White people have been brought up with this superior belief right from the day they are born,the images,the stories in books,the adverts on billboards etc show that having white skin is a badge of honor,its good to be white,the dollar notes have a white face presumably like the UK one,white=rich=powerful=success.
Whereas its a common code of conduct to look down on blacks because blacks represent the opposite-therefore if they don’t value anything about you,they have no respect for you.
In blatant terms white skin is beautiful and black skin is ugly.

I look at the narcissism aspect and then I look at the siege mentality white Americans seem to collectively hold and the zero-sum POV they tend to see from. As a result, any sort of progress on part of black America that’s definitively distinct and incapable of being co-opted and eventually absorbed/neutralized by mainstream white America is seen in a defeat for white culture, whether or not anyone wants to acknowledge that as such.
There’s the ever-present subconscious fear that, in the event that black America rises to a position of unchallenged power and strength, that all of the ills visited upon blacks will be dished out on white America ten-fold. It’s the same sort of subconscious fear that gripped white colonists in Africa and parts elsewhere. A black American in any sort of powerful capacity therefore represents a dire threat to white society’s comfortable position and overall well being.
As a result, the imperative directive is to neuter black America’s collective self-esteem to prevent its collective rise in power and, with any hopes, carefully guide the community towards the same dark path that dead ends at the quiet and damn-near imperceptible slow-motion suicide of Native American people and culture. In the meantime, the unspoken goal is to maintain the black community the same as it ever was in America’s history: as a servant class to wealthier whites and a release valve/punching bag/scapegoat to minimize societal strife among lower-class whites.

Again, stating that blacks are all inherently innocent (victims of situation) and all problems are caused by an inherent flaw in white people (okay, you said “many.” The fact that you emphasized it demonstrates more that you’re trying to get the naysayers to stop pestering you about your apparent racism than you yourself actually believing it; if you hadn’t italicized it, it’d seem genuine) seems close-minded. Not saying that many white people are not inherently guilty of abominable thinking/behavior or that they’re not fundamentally flawed themselves, but your viewpoint seems overly simplistic. I think you’ve pointed this out before, but from what I understand racism was initially designed for convenience (white people justifying mistreatment of people of color), and through generations of indoctrination and people’s own selfish desires they clung to this mentality. Basically, you’re saying that many white people are fundamentally flawed because they caused and perpetrate racism (which isn’t necessarily true), I’m countering that many white people (and human beings) are flawed because they selfishly never let go of racism.
…And saying all black people are victims of their situations (I’m not saying that they’re not) and therefore are all basically good is unfair and racist. Human beings are human beings, and saying that one group is all good is just as prejudiced as saying that they’re all bad

Many people read into Abagond’s arguments with the belief that he’s condemning or attacking all whites, which rankles a lot of people. After all, you don’t want to be accused of racism if you don’t see yourself as a racist.
But here lies the rub: if you don’t see yourself as a racist, yet happily participate in a society and system that behaves in a racist manner and actively promotes racist policies and actions, and on top of that, see yourself as exempt from discussions about racism because of a lack of personal responsibility, then of course you’ll be highly offended when someone makes what you’d see as a blanket accusation that’s seemingly aimed at you.
And yet black Americans are expected to accept blanket declarations of who they are, what they are supposed to be and how they behave by the same people who wince when blanket accusations are tossed their way. Talk about having your cake and eating it in one bite.

One thing I think a lot of people miss is identifying what exactly whiteness is. Most people seem to think that it’s synonymous with European descent, but as abagond has shown whiteness has changed its form and definition much in the past and almost certainly will continue to do so. I’m not insinuating abagond hasn’t already said pretty well as much, but we gotta start seeing whiteness for what it really is, which is a priveledged class of people who were originally just wasps and those very similar to them, but has and will likely continue to widen and accept increasingly different people into its ranks in return for helping keep blacks and others who are too different to accept down. Another price that is paid is being forced to betray your former roots, and cease being true to yourself. In my opinion whiteness is a disease and an addiction. Mind you this is not synonymous with being biologically European or middle eastern, but whiteness as an identity I believe is a sickness that causes damage to them, and even more to people of color around them.

Now even more on post topic – what is whiteness?
its skin whiteness which is due to the lack of the pigment melanin.
it is not an absolute condition – it varies by degrees or percentages just as
its causal factor the varying intensity of sunlight exposure in relation to
geographic location.
white people are thus former black people that migrated north.
but it seems esp in the european variant of our species to make one far more
aggressive and aesthetically inferior – not a pleasant combination.

This was really hard to read, hard to hear, but I’ve been thinking about it and I believe you’re right. I’m a white person who doesn’t want to be racist and tries to persuade other white people to stop being racist– but I also recognize that bits of racism are still in me that need rooting out.
When you’re part of a people that has been oppressing other people for a long, long time, you know deep down inside somewhere that you would deserve it if they fought back, if they retaliated. I think that’s where white fear of black people really comes from. Because we know that if what we’ve done to you was done to us, we’d feel justified in retaliating. So we can either hope that you will be forbearing and gracious and won’t retaliate– or we can try to control you some more to keep you from retaliating. Most of us choose the latter. I don’t want to be one of those who do.
So there is something wrong with us– and it comes from generations of being bullies, raised by bullies and taught to be bullies. Generations of power corrupting. The sins of the fathers visited upon the children. I want to break that cycle by listening to all of you and trying my best to hear you without defensiveness.

Abagond,
Thank you for this re-post and your question.
From time-to-time, I’ve raised a similar rhetorical question that, to me, cuts out all the white noise (no pun intended) when comes to discussions/debates over racism (what is and what isn’t racism, etc., etc.).
To me, once you consider the type of question you raised in the context of the history of racism in the USA, it becomes rather hard for people to play racism equation game. By that, I mean, the idea that Black people and White people are “equally” racist, etc.
I really don’t see the value in such a comparison but the truth of the matter is that there is a clear difference between two and your questions get to the heart of the matter.
A simple thought experiment should show you what I’m getting at. If we changed you question by reversing the races:
Why do Blacks hate, demonize, fear and look down on Whites?
Beyond any particular quibbles over whether Blacks “look down” on Whites, etc… one would be hard pressed not to come up with, perhaps, a rational explanation for Black, anti-White racism. Up thread, someone mentioned Elijah Muhammad’s “white devil” comments. As ugly, wrong and as hateful as those comments might be, it’s pretty clear that the very history of White, anti-black racism was the impetus and animating/motivating feature of the comment/attitude.
So, if you were to ask: What did White people ever do to Black people for Black people to hate them (i.e. to be racist towards them) the way they do?
I believe you’d find the answer in the history of White, anti-Black racism itself. The same cannot be said for origin or impetus of White, anti-Black racism.
When you consider the American historical context and pose the question:
What did Black people ever do to White people for White people to hate them (i.e. to be racist towards them) the way they do?
I think you come up with blanks or, at least, something very different from the type of explanation you could come up with to explain Elijah Muhammad’s “white devil” comments/attitude.

You disgust me. You’re the worst kind of lazy racist because you cloak your bullshit in idle curiosity but what you’re really saying is, Prove it. Prove your so-called racism, humiliation. Prove the indignities all black people suffer.

Here is something that you guys may not have thought of, with respect to why do white people not like black people. I’ll take a page from the book of Jonah Lehrer.
The book (How We Decide) talked about the brain (in a metaphorical sense) as having two systems. System 1 (Emotional) and System 2 (Analytical).
Sometimes we use System 1 as a shortcut for system 2 when the amount of data is too much to deal with.
He gave an example of describing two people that go out and have sex. The man wears a condom and the woman in on birth control pills. Oh, and one more thing: They happen to be brother and sister.
Most people, when they read that will say: Eeeeeww. But there are actually logical/genetic reasons that you don’t have sex with a first degree relatives. But most of us don’t have time to take a class in Genetics before we make an evaluation on something.
And so it is thus with many things related to black people. There are about 4 cases:
Case 1. There will be something that is productive and some number of black people will move toward it until it reaches a tipping point and then loses all credibility. (This could be any country that is managed by black people. Zimbabwe. South Africa. Haiti. Or any city. Detroit, MI. Highland Park, MI. East St. Louis, IL. etc)
Case 2. There will be something that is obviously stupid and previously extant, and it attracts disproportionately more black people. (Prison. Islam. Prislam.) Blacks are 13% of the population but 44.1% of inmates and 45.2% of recidivists. (http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/pji02.pdf)
Case 3. There will be something that cannot be easily gauged and if you find that there are disproportionately more black people, then you’ll know that it is wrong. Conversely, if there is something that you know is right then there will be fewer to no black people. (Prislam. Islamic militancy.)
Case 4. You can have some number of black people in some place, and nothing productive will happen.
Nigeria. (Independence, 1963. GDP per capita: $3002).
Kenya. (Independence, 1963. GDP Per capita: $1802.)
Zimbabwe. (Independence, 1983. GDP per capita: $589).
Haiti. (Independence, 1825. GDP per capita; $1242.)
But then you look at the two former colonies below (where there are no black people in sight in the running of the country), and what do you see?
Hong Kong (Independence, 1997. GDP per capita: $52687)
Singapore (Independence, 1963. GDP Per capita: $61046)
So what does all this mean? To make a long story short, there is SO MUCH bad everywhere one sees black people.
Most people (including white people, but not only them) will know *that* there is something wrong but not know *why* (or care why) it is wrong.
They will use the emotional part of their brain (System 1) as a shortcut and the reaction is contempt/ disgust/ hatred.

I guess, we just have lackluster violence but maybe just maybe one day we will catch up. Enslave nations of people, and tell them that it is for their own good because of course we know better how to manage.

Why do Blacks hate, demonize, fear and look down on whites?
Thu 2 Jan 2014 by abagond
Repost: This was first posted two years ago today. With 1,778 comments, its thread is no longer usable. I am closing the original to comments and reposting it here. Only the “See also” section has been changed – I still agree with what I said in the original post:
Why do many Black Americans hate, demonize, fear and look down on whites? I am no scientist or scholar, but here is I how I currently think about it. This post is very much a work in progress.
There are plenty of things that keep black racist thinking in place:
• Racist messages in jokes, history books, the news and on television, etc,
• Material self-interest,
• Fear of becoming an outcast among blacks
and so on. But this is not the heart of the matter.
Not even material self-interest. After all, plenty of poor blacks are racist. About all they have to show for it is this: “At least I’m not white.” And that gives it away: it is about black self-image.
My current understanding of the black self-image:
1. Narcissism – having no true sense of self-worth they put up a false front to persuade the world, and most of all themselves, that they do have worth. They mainly do this through money, but also by putting down others to make themselves look better. Deep down they know the whole thing is a lie, which makes them all the more desperate to uphold the front.
2. Dichotomous thinking – either/or thinking. Their films often have characters who are either all good or all evil. When you ask them about it they say that of course they know the world is not that simple, that it is just a storytelling device. Yet much of their thinking is very either/or, black-or-white. The One Drop Rule is a good example. So is their idea that they are Basically Good, getting upset when you point out anything that does not fit that overblown self-image. Like that maybe they are racist. Worst of all, it means they cannot accept people who are too different: if you are not the same as us then there must be something wrong with you. Either/or.
3. Moral blindness – this is huge. Every single white person in the eyes of black people is the sign of a terrible crime from their ugly past, a reminder that their life is a fraud, that they are pretty much nothing more than armed robbers. But #1 and #2 make it hard for them to simply own up to their past and make it right. Instead they deny, shift blame, lie, twist facts and make white people into these creatures that they look down on, laugh at and yet, oddly, fear. It is a failed attempt to be at peace with themselves. This is why blacks need to get reparations more than whites need to receive it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with white people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is black people who have a deep crack in their souls.
I know that sounds extreme – partly because we have “black is beautiful” pounded into our heads night and day – but their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.

“Being right next to Europe meant colonial powers could keep their feet right on the throats of Africans and prevent them from uplifting themselves, like through education.” *** But then why did Africans not build civilizations that were strong enough to repel Europeans?

“Similarly, Western imperialism in Southeast Asia was more intense than Western imperialism in East Asia. Accordingly, Southeast Asia’s economic success does not compare to that of East Asia’s today.”
*********Well, the Indian IQ is also much lower than the Chinese/ Korean IQ. So then, there’s that explanation, too. Wither Singapore? They were FULLY colonized by the British. The Malays, too.
“Yet another comparison could be made of China and India. India does much poorer than China, but then again, India was monopolized by the British whereas China was fought over by various European powers. A lot of this can be attributed to geographical proximity.”

“Modern Western imperialism in Africa is often accomplished by manipulating local leaders. Western powers will throw a bone out to anyone who is willing to bite and will then use those individuals to control the region.”
*****But then that begs the question: If they are leaders, then they should be head and shoulders above the run of the mill African. If you assumed that the whole African population had an IQ of something like 70, then you would expect that people in the top 5% would have an IQ of about 97. That’s enough to be manipulated.
Again: Why didn’t they have the structures in place that made it such that they could defend themselves.
“The “stupid” “low IQ” African leaders you are referring to are the result of neo-colonial leadership selection. Of course they would have to be stupid in order to be used as puppets. Or they’re selling out to line their own pockets. Many wars in North America between European settlers and Natives had different Native ethnicities fighting each other. Europeans had so much power that they could manipulate the indigenous peoples into killing each other. Hernan Cortez is one example. Most of his soldiers were Native groups who were enemies of the Aztecs. Personally, I always found it interesting how the African politcal borders were drawn by Europe to be “bite sized” pieces optimized for being controlled.”
****Ok, so why wasn’t the leadership that was already in place smart enough to see through that?

It seems a bit like advising blacks to huddle together under an assumed halo of inherent, (though mysteriously concealed) ‘goodness’ and soothe each other by wagging a collective finger at “white people.” Is that supposed to be a stratagem?
No, it does not seem like anything of the such. No honest reading of the statement especially in context would have you or anyone reading/arguing in good-faith claiming that Abagond’s statement was any kind of advice or stratagem. Obviously, that’s how you want to reinterpret his statement in bad faith, of course.
There’s clearly no attempt by you to address the actual subject of the commentary:
Why do whites hate, demonize, fear and look down on blacks?
Instead, you’ve chosen to traffic in the type of mindset that falls well within the category of the “look down on blacks” kind of things. Surely, your suggestion is by your rhetorical question (Is that supposed to be a stratagem?) is that it is a bad strategy. Likewise, the blacks huddling together to soothe each other imagery is a similar type of mockery.
That’s a direct and obvious interpretation of your words. No filters, agenda or “stratagem” needed.
As for the “assumed halo or inherent goodness”…. Again, that’s a bad faith argument/statement. You can either choose to deal with whatever problem you have with Abagond’s statement honestly or just be a coward and continue your dishonest approach.
It’s clear from Abagond’s statement that there was no “assumed halo or inherent goodness” for Blacks, mysteriously concealed or otherwise. Either contend with his statement and explain how there is something inherently wrong with Black people that can’t be seen as part of the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and [their] ordinary human failings or go find your own huddle to cry in.
Make an actual argument or (do as you’ve done and) don’t.

The real problem in these debates about IQ is the concept of “confounding variables”.
Pointing out how environment can lower IQ is not sufficient to successfully counter the argument that one particular population has a lower average IQ than another due to genetics.
From what I’ve read, it appears as though micronutrition and parasite load can play a non-trivial role in the cognitive function of populations of people, but unpacking those effects from all others appears to be yet infeasible.
Stated another way, it doesn’t appear as though there is sufficient data to definitively prove either the genetic argument or the environmental argument.

Malcolm x talked about how whites would come to the black clubs at night to be with black people especially white women.
There will always be some whites that feel ok being around blacks some of it is because they feel they are accepted others do it out of arrogance or to prove they are open minded.
some do fear blacks and those are the ones that clutch their purse and walk on the other side of the street. there are some that are not afraid but are racist and arrogant, those are the ones that say racist things and don’t fear any backlash or say racist things to people’s face.
white flight is what some do because they don’t like being around others not always out of fear. I think the whites that do stick around or move in do so because they feel accepted or because they know that neighborhood will be white again someday aka gentrification.

At any rate, I see IQ as a very poor indicator of intelligence among entire groups of people and as a ready-made excuse for others to otherwise condemn said groups as not being intelligent enough as a whole to merit respect.
As I said before, it’s the fear of what the black community would do to them if they ever achieved a socio-economic majority throughout the entire country. They’re not going to be afraid of a few blacks on their block or even entire blocks of blacks – at least not as long as they can count on law enforcement and the justice system to help them out in their time of need. When even a photogenic platinum-blonde white teenager with well-connected and well-heeled parents can’t get satisfaction against blacks in the justice system, then all bets are off.

Why do whites hate, demonize, fear and look down on blacks?
Whites hate on blacks because this is what they’ve been taught to do so and it’s a generational learned behavior on how to approach blacks.
Whites demonize blacks because whites must always be seen as inherently GOOD and blacks as being inherently BAD not only within these United Empire of States but globally as well. How else could whites provide the required maintenance for the phenomenon of white supremacy?
Whites do not necessarily much fear blacks as much as they mistrust blacks. It seems that most whites mistrust us stems largely from of tortured interaction (Middle passage, slavery, rebellions, Jim Crow, etc.).
Whites look down on blacks because it’s a learned behavior; it’s an acceptable norm on their part stemming from this country’s socially racist, relational construct.

If the statement had been changed to read “Why do Germans hate, demonize, fear and look down on Jews” in context of Hitler’s National Socialism in Germany Whites would accept and understand that statement.
The disconnect comes when they deny that the SAME kind of oppression applies to America.
The U.S. has more prisons and has the highest prison population of any country in the world. Their are more American military bases in more countries then any other Empire in the history of mankind. American drone attacks can neutralize any potential “threat” in the world without impunity. American foreign policy supports some governments that are totalitarian and have both in the past and present support governments that practice apartheid and genocide.The Americans governments bail out of Wall Street and it’s crony capitalism of corporations mirror’s Nazi Germanys relationship with it’s “industrialists”. The Americans governments obsession with “security” gives the NSA god like powers to peer into the private lives of just not Americans but our “allies” as well. Like Nazi Germany the rise of those in Enforcement into a kind of Praetorian Class insures that the actions of citizens only occur with it’s tacit consent. Whether driving on roads, traveling in the air, visiting public land, walking down the street or even living in your own home, every action you take is predicated on its permission. The interpretation of these permissions is based on race and affluence and is reflected in the criminal justice system as well as in education and finance. The underlying systemic racism of our empire is the White Western cultural standard by which all things are judged. Whether it be beauty, litature, arts, entertainment, history, education ect all things reflect the self-image of the ruling group.
Abagond said:
My current understanding of the white self-image:
1.Narcissism – having no true sense of self-worth they put up a false front to persuade the world, and most of all themselves, that they do have worth.
Narcissism is self love/self worship. In Dante’s inferno Dante lays out the deadly sins all of which encompasses Narcissism and reflect the consequences of a false self image. Limbo (indifference), Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Heresy, Violence, Fraud and Treachery. Together they reflect the West’s history of conquest and genocide and underlies the consequences of racism.
The Abrahamic religions are founded on the idea the man is made in the image of God. Theologically that was interpreted to mean a geo centric understanding of the universe. The Earth was the center of the Universe and everything revolved around it, and man was given dominion over the Earth for the Glory of God. This gave those who viewed themselves as specially privileged by God a mandate to conquer and subject other people for the “Glory of God” as well as a Standard by which all things must be judged.
It was this religious image that “put up a false front to persuade the world, and most of all themselves, that they do have worth.” This same false image transposes itself as Nationalism and as Racism.
It was Carl Sagan in “Pale Blue Dot” that said “Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. ”
This Narcissism of “imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe” is reflected in this white-self image that has become an anthropocentric Empire dictating to the world the Standard by which all things must be judged.
2. Dichotomous thinking – “either/or thinking. Worst of all, it means they cannot accept people who are too different: if you are not the same as us then there must be something wrong with you. Either/or.”
Either you accept the Empire as it is and get a “special” seat at the table or you will remain forever marginalized.
3. Moral blindness – “this is huge. Every single black person in the eyes of white people is the sign of a terrible crime from their ugly past, a reminder that their life is a fraud, that they are pretty much nothing more than armed robbers.”
It is moral blindness that creates the White savior complex and leads some to fight for social justice in a system where its not possible. The Messianic State is about management not freedom. As a White person you are a part of the standard by which all things are judged. That means tweaking the standard not getting rid of it.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.”
It is the hidden wound. It is the consequences of conquest and empire, of exploitation and Supremacy.

Legion, I thinks Abagond’s meaning is pretty plain. The only confusing thing is that it contradicts his whites aren’t uniquely evil argument.
… he flips the script and says it is whites who have a “deep crack in their souls”. That is what I find ridiculous.
I can certainly understand you would say that but I think you’re ignoring the context and just reflexively reacting to the sticker shock, so to speak.
If I understand Abagond’s statement (and I’ve heard that type of statement before), the “deep crack” in the souls of White people he is referring to is the corollary to the very thing Abagond seems to imply by Black people having “side effects” as a result of the “bad patch of history.”
As the history goes, Black people were not the only people impacted by that history. White people were too. Both groups have responded and reacted to that history in some way and both groups have been changed by it, for good and for ill.
I think once you consider that and everything that entails you might come to see how Abagond’s remark really isn’t that ridiculous.
Re: the side-effects of the history with respect to Black people… Black people’s self-image has been damaged with you consider the range of self-hatred issues from colorism to so-called Black-on-Black crime.
What were/are the effects of the “bad patch of history” on White people?
Once you explore that, maybe you’ll understand that it’s not necessarily a contradiction you see in Abagond’s position but rather something more nuanced.

As I said, it isn’t a matter of brain power. The smartest guy I’ve ever met is a white guy who graduated from Caltech at 18 in mathematics, MS Princeton, PhD Cornell. He’s on Wall St energy trading rather than in the sciences or engineering. That’s where the US system incentivises people to go. That’s why all the harping on STEM being done now won’t make a difference as long as the sciences are deeply underfunded and engineering salaries are stalled due to the influx of cheap labor from China and India. Would Silicon Valley hurt if they went home? No doubt. It would be a few years before the gap could be made up. Engineering salaries would rise, and it would be a career worth joining again. These people weren’t brought over because of any shortage of intellect in the US, but because they keep labor costs down at places like Qualcomm and Microsoft. PhD programs rely on them because they’ll work for beans for a few more years while the American is out making a living. Then when they do get out they don’t make any more money in the US than they would of had they not gotten a PhD, but they do get a visa that gets them a job. After 25 years in the semiconductor industry as an engineer, I’ve seen this process play out more than once.

Okay, I just looked back and saw your first post in this thread. So, I see where you’re coming from in terms of your position. But I really don’t see where Abagond stated anything like what you are claiming. And, to be quite honest with you, frankly, that dog won’t hunt.
In the original post of yours that I responded to, you said you were confused because Abagond’s statement in this commentary Abagond contradicted what you called his “whites aren’t uniquely evil argument.” So, it seems pretty clear that Abagond didn’t say what you’re claiming in any previous thread. So whatever you believe he’s saying about the deep crack in the souls of white people has to be in this thread and this thread alone.
The only problem with that is: what you’re claiming simply isn’t true.
Abagond specifically stated in his commentary that deep crack in the souls of white people is a product of “their” history because “their [White people’s] history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.” That history Abagond is referring to clearly includes our shared history.
See Abagond’s point:
“2. Dichotomous thinking… The One Drop Rule is a good example.”
Beyond that, how is that you have the position like the one I have — that White people have been impacted by the “bad patch of history” — and still think the idea that White people have deep crack in their souls is ridiculous?
It’s seems to me that you’re responding in sticker shock fashion and really don’t even grasp what the idea means.
It would help if you would actually address the question I raised earlier:
What were/are the effects of the “bad patch of history” on White people?
And, specifically, what has been White people’s response/reaction to how they’ve been negatively impacted by that “bad patch of history.”
You see, in the context of the side-effects Abagond mentioned regarding how Black people were/are impacted by the bad-history, there is tons of examples of Black people acknowledging how that bad-history has negatively impacted them, changed them culturally (in the way they think about themselves, etc.) in ways they feel are counterproductive.
I’m simply not aware of there being any on-going, conscious acknowledgements or efforts on the part of Whites, generally, where they admit that the history of racism and participating in a racist society/social order in the past, let alone the present, has changed their social/cultural character, how they view themselves, etc.

Though I do believe racism still exists and it is awful that people have to experience it, I do believe it comes down to more of an issue of economic wealth and social values. I feel like you are trying to present it as solely a racial issue but when we actually delve deeper into it, it is more complex than that. I think we could all agree that, unfortunately, African Americans make up a large percentage of the working and impoverished class. This is due to a multitude of factors including racism, lack of resources, drug abuse, etc. Our culture finds it so important to project money that those without it are largely excluded and left feeling like second class citizens.
I am making this point because as a white female growing up in a smaller city in Canada (98% white), I was largely excluded and ridiculed in school because I was born into poverty. I had very few friends and the only friends I did have, not so shockingly, were of a different ethnic/color make-up. My parents were devout Catholics, yet, they themselves had very few contacts/friends within the church, I feel, because they were excluded due to their economical standing. Even today, I can still find it hard to relate to many middle-class “white” people because they tend to talk about all the different ways they spend their money and I have very little interest in that (it also becomes quite irritating because it feels so shallow and empty). However, many of the impoverished people in my city – majority white – were also persons I did not want to hang around. This had very little to do with their own families finances, and very much to do with the atmosphere I would be surrounded in when socializing with them. There was a great underlying blanket of negativity (which is understandable in most circumstances) but there was also more social acceptance of drugs, lack of education, per-marital sex, violence toward one another, racism, and cursing. These are also qualities that the majority of “white” middle-class people reject and they should because they are not healthy.
I am placing “white” in quotations because there are a multitude of ethnic backgrounds that are middle-class as well. I also do not feel that only white people are capable of adopting racist thinking.
Fast forward a few years to now, where my mother – due to unique circumstances – is now living in a predominately black ghetto in Syracuse, NY. It has been there that I have felt the previous negative social dynamics the most. Racism, drug abuse, no importance on education, violence, and cursing are heard and felt on a continual basis. I cannot take a bus ride (because I cannot afford a car) without hearing someone cursing, blaring music (offensive and non-offensive), speaking disrespectfully of another person, or sharing intimate details about a relationship that I have no desire to hear! Now, I’m not saying that I would never hear these things elsewhere. However, I sharing with you that these are things that others do not like to be surrounded by because they negatively impact everyone. You wonder why “whites” are afraid of “blacks” (usually men) when they obviously present the persona that they will hurt someone who does something against them? Again, I use quotations because it isn’t something only limited to people of a certain color. If anyone is presenting that persona, people will stay away from them and will be afraid of them – just as the person carrying that persona intended.
You mention whites looking down on blacks. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Sidney Poitier, Chris Rock, a lot of soldier who have fought for our country and his fellow mans freedom are inspirational! And that is only a small list. Some of the funniest and kindest people I have come across have been mixed, black, or other. I would never look down on them. However, “thugs” who disrespect and promote violence will never gain my respect. This again is not limited to color but by the character of a person. Do not give up hope and resort to “demonizing” whites as to why you feel many blacks are not looked up to. African Americans still make up a minority of the population but I think they have made wonderful strides in becoming household names and will continue to do so. You and I shall never know how much Ray Charles, Obama, and others have inspired a youth.
I feel absolutely horrible when someone is subjected to racism. I recently stood up to someone on an online game who was trying to be funny, I suppose, by being racist. When I realized he wouldn’t stop, I removed myself from his presence. People have no right to make another human being feel bad about something they cannot control. Blacks and whites will never achieve harmony if we are constantly blinded by our own prejudice. We do have to make a better effort as a society to place pressure on those that are racist to let them know that it is not tolerated.
However, I will not say that the “white” culture should accept or adopt clearly negative social values. I believe this is an area that usually urban or low economic people need to reflect on and start making some changes themselves. Society should help them achieve this – but it will always be up to each individual on how they will change. Hopefully, we will achieve a society where no one is felt to be less important due to circumstances out of their control. I believe we are on our way there, but we need to work together and stop blaming each other for the mess.

I wish the above weren’t true. I was brought up to believe that blacks only performed worse academically (on average of course) because they were oppressed. “There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.” That’s what I was taught in school and what I’d like to believe (minus that white people having a deep crack in their souls), it just doesn’t square with my experiences.
Ultimately, you (denizens of this site) would blame all failures of blacks on whites (including modern Subsaharan Africa’s failure to rise above abject poverty despite vast mineral wealth, the significant decline in the average quality of life for blacks in SA after the end of apartheid, the living standards in any city in the US that has a majority black population), rather than take any responsibility for them yourselves. Pretty crazy if you step back and think about it. As white people gradually die out and Africa teems with billions and billions as food and medical aid is shipped in from abroad, you will still blame white people for Africans’ ability to feed themselves or create and maintain a stable society.
When the collapse happens (probably within the next 20 years), everything will change.

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.
I know that sounds extreme – partly because we have “white is right” pounded into our heads night and day – but their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.”
This line, “their history shows that there is something seriously wrong with them.”, does not say what you think it means, that the deep crack in white people’s souls is caused by their history. It means what it says. It does not say the deep crack is caused by our shared history. It doesn’t say that explicitly nor does it imply it. I
The previous paragraph: “There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.”
Here he says unlike black people whose failings are due to a bad patch of history and normal human failings, the deep crack in the souls of white folks IS the cause of their history.
Interpreting his statement any other way is wrong. This might not be what he meant, but it is what he wrote.
I am not confused about the affects our history has had on white people. If you have something to say about it, then my god, man/woman, just say it. However, it won’t alter what Abagond wrote here.

Solesearch,
Comprehend what was and still is in plain sight (re: what Abagond’s specifically stated):
My current understanding of the white self-image:
Narcissism . . .
Dichotomous thinking – either/or thinking. Their films often have characters who are either all good or all evil. When you ask them about it they say that of course they know the world is not that simple, that it is just a storytelling device. Yet much of their thinking is very either/or, black-or-white. The One Drop Rule is a good example. So is their idea that they are Basically Good, getting upset when you point out anything that does not fit that overblown self-image. Like that maybe they are racist. Worst of all, it means they cannot accept people who are too different: if you are not the same as us then there must be something wrong with you. Either/or.
Moral blindness . . .
Comprehension tells you that the One Drop Rule is firmly situated within “our shared history.”
And my question was in no wise rhetorical.
What were/are the effects of the “bad patch of history” on White people?
I’ve asked you to consider it twice (now, three times) because my purpose for asking it in the first place was to say that the idea of White people having deep cracks in their souls is self-evident in any honest consideration of that shared history, how White people were impacted by it and how they have responded/reacted.
Further, you can’t honestly state (as you did) that Abagond “specifically states that The deep crack in the souls of white people is not caused by our shared history or normal human failings” when he did not specifically state/say those words. You are assuming things that have not been “specifically” stated.
You’re making an inference that belies the actual context. Again, see the reference to the One Drop Rule.
Now, unless you’re willing to explore this issue via the question I posed (in a fruitless effort to help you understand what I believe Abagond’s statement implies), we’re done here. Maybe I should have phrased words in my previous posts to better aid in a genuine exchange but you simply can’t mind read or in-between-the-line read Abagond’s commentary and claim his specifically stated something he did not.
I think I understand what he means while, at the same time, understanding your objection. Ultimately, comprehension (at least on my part) isn’t the problem. So far, you haven’t been willing to try to understand his perspective.
That’s the issue here. You have a different perspective and, perhaps, because of the knee-jerk, sticker shock you’re still apparently in, you can’t get passed the blinders you’ve put on.
As for me saying something “about the affects our history has had on white people,” I’ve already said plenty:
I’m simply not aware of there being any on-going, conscious acknowledgements or efforts on the part of Whites, generally, where they admit that the history of racism and participating in a racist society/social order in the past, let alone the present, has changed their social/cultural character, how they view themselves, etc.
Maybe now you will begin to discuss this because that is a big part of what is viewed as the deep cracks in the soul of White people — their, perhaps, hardened denial, refusal or inability to examine and deal with that.
Again, I’m saying it seems to me that Black people, unlike White people, are aware of the negative side-effects — how our shared history with racism has negatively impacted Black people’s self-image, culture, etc. And this is community wide with Black people.
The same cannot be said of the White community. That type of internal introspection and thorough-going examination of how racism has harmed them collectively and shaped the way the view things is sorely absent.
Instead of a community of Tim Wise like thinkers, White Americans have and increasingly vocal band of Duck Dynasty die-hards who feel like Phil Robertson and believes Black people were “singing and happy” before they had their civil rights won/honored. There is a strong chorus of Whites, liberal and conservative, who, at some point, characterize Blacks the way Robertson does as welfare dependant, entitlement whores.
I’ll stop there…
I am not confused about the affects our history has had on white people. If you have something to say about it, then my god, man/woman, just say it. However, it won’t alter what Abagond wrote here. If you have something to say about it, then my god, man/woman, just say it. However, it won’t alter what Abagond wrote here.

Joshua asked :
“Is there a “predominant” white culture? When I travel I see many different cultures in areas around the US. Some are bizarre to me – the times I’ve been in Georgia or South Carolina for example the “white culture” appalled me, as it was like something in the water reduced their intellects by 40 points.”
White culture has the unique advantage of choosing whatever culture they wish to emulate while POC do not. Some Whites use the one drop rule to claim Native American heritage for example.
Generally speaking white culture is war like and prone to violence. American foreign policy proves that. Film and video games exaggerate violence which desensitizes the reality of violence. Narcissism might be the defining feature of white culture. Everything is about how you look and what you have. Individualism is mixed in their as well.
I was in Utah over the weekend hiking around. The people their were pleasant and friendly and curious as to where we were from. Every small town has a LDS church which is usually the biggest, best maintained building in town. I got the sense that the community revolved around the LDS church. I would say their are micro cultures like this within White areas.
The justice system in Utah is run by Mormons. Utah is a State that has a higher then average rate of rape, 1/5 compared to 1/7 national average. It also has one of the lowest convictions rates for rape. I think this has to do with the strongly patriarchal theology of the LDS. White on White rape is happening and their is denial within that community that their is a problem.
The media always talks about black on black crime, black on white crime and occasionally the white on black crime. But never white on white. It is a part of the moral blindness Abagond alludes too and would challenge that whites are “Basically Good”.,

Interpreting his statement any other way is wrong.
No. Simply, you are wrong for casting your interpretation of what has said as what he “specifically” stated.
Maybe you meant to say that you interpreted his statement/commentary that way but that’s not what you said. You said:
“…Abagond states the opposite. He specifically states that The deep crack in the souls of white people is not caused by our shared history or normal human failings.”
So, when I went back to look for that *specific* statement by Abagond. I did not find it. You should have told me to look for your context-stripping, context-ignoring *interpretation*.
It is wrong for you to play mind-reader and insert your own interpretation and claim it’s something Abagond “states” simply because you feel justified by some kind of interpretative-license you give yourself given how Abagond said on thing about X but didn’t say it about Y therefore Z.
It’s a faulty interpretative equation. And, again, it’s one that’s devoid of context.
Now, Abagond’s idea regard White people’s history could encompass more than our shared history but you will note that I said (by virtue of the context clear provided and I clearly read) that history includes our shared history.
Somehow, I was about to interpret Abagond’s commentary and see it as inclusive of things I’m aware of and/or agree with but, for some reason (ironically so), you want it to be in a black/white, exclusive, process-of-elimination type of territory.

I found myself back here this morning in this wonderful new year and though this is an old post I had to comment.
“This is why whites need to give reparations more than blacks need to receive it.”
That reminds me of a quote by James Weldon Johnson:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Ell_Persons
“I tried to balance the sufferings of the miserable victim against the moral degradation of Memphis, and the truth flashed over me that in large measure the race question involves the saving of black America’s body and white America’s soul.”
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with black people other than the bad patch of history they are going through, its side effects and the ordinary human failings. It is white people who have a deep crack in their souls.”
Exactly! IMO, Black people have maintained more dignity than should be expected in the hellish scenario that has been endured. Black people had been completely emptied like a drink that is poured out of a cup. Our lands were not our lands, our names not our names, our ancestral heritage not our ancestral heritage, our bodies not our own, we have planted for others to reap, built for others to inhabit, and yet we are hated for our service. It would not make sense at all except for the conclusion that the white collective is thoroughly evil and psychopathic in nature. They’re not ‘making mistakes’ or ‘messing up’. They’re wilfully malignant. They have created a drunken harlot of an economic system that exalts greed and usury to the detriment of the entire planet and its people. They have spearheaded the testing and use of atomic bombs to snuff out hundreds of thousands in an instant while polluting the earth for everyone including their own people.
They love their evanescent egos more than anything and this is the basis of their defect and their endless frustration and restlessness. Unlike the world’s older people, they rarely see themselves as a part of things but as isolated egos in the midst of things. With the former view one can grow by merging and communing while with the latter grows by possessing and dominating. Merging creates a larger entity from the constituent parts. While the parts maintain their individuality they gain meaning from their position within the whole. Indeed this is the way a healthy multicellular organic body works. But merging involves a give and take. However, white culture only wants to take because it considers that merging will result in loss of self. So with insatiable appetite it takes everything and everyone it sees and guards its accumulated possessions like a ravenous beast. That is its flavour of growth and ‘progress’. Egotism and a desire to ‘become something’ manifests as a singlemindedly destructive and psychopathic collective consciousness. The manner of growth is the manner of growth of a cancerous tumor. A cell that misguidedly multiplies recklessly at the expense of its neighbours will ultimately destroy the body and itself. It’s not surprising that with Western Civilization we see the end of all life on earth as a real possibility.
The spiritual conceptions of many other cultures could never allow such unbridled rapacity. For example, Ancient Egypt saw God (ntr/neter, plural: ntrw/neteru; awful similar to NaTuR but not sure if related) as existing in everything. Interestingly the Bantu suffix -ntu actually means entity or being. Furthermore, Bantu (Ba-ntu) is a rational being (aside: Ancient Egyptian Ba is the soul or unique personality). According to one source the rationality spoken of is “Comprehensive rationality that allows people to transcend calculations geared to substantiating their personal interests rather than harmony with the universe”. So in trying to advance their supposed interests at the expense of the planet white people would be acting like unintelligent bi-ntu (plants, beasts, stones) by this African conception.
http://books.google.com/books?id=42l_Ob-GO-gC&pg=PA40&lpg=PA40&dq=ubu-ntu+ba-ntu&source=bl&ots=fJVIE39-p5&sig=ZDKVeGUs0bjyUQN1W_meFX6in8U&hl=en&sa=X&ei=T3vKUpvtK5SrsQSnzIDQDQ&ved=0CDcQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=ubu-ntu%20ba-ntu&f=false
So in light of the above what’s with this persistent ‘white is right’ nonsense?
Only by dint of endless propaganda and the moth-to-flame effect created by their extraction of all wealth is such an idea maintained. Unfortunately they are drunk with their own koolaid and cannot see that their end is unprecendented tragedy of both human and cosmic origin. Today they dig up dinosaur bones. Nobody will disturb their eternal slumber. Narcissus, Icarus, Phaethon. They’re not myth but allegory. My mind is already past white rule. Two world wars so far, destruction of traditional cultures, continual political strife, economic inequity, pollution with toxic and radioactive chemicals and white is right? Yeah right! When a critical mass moves past that ridiculous notion it’ll be time for change. There is no reward for apathy.

Western Civilization is aspiritual because spirituality (not doctrine but understanding the universe on a level deeper than the perceptions) is incompatible with its aim: self-deification. Those misled by it on account of their stomachs will end up ‘self-defecating’ instead. Tick.Tock.

I do not comment too frequently on Abagond’s blog, but I do sense a sense of bewilderment on your part and frustration on others.
Firstly George, this is NOT about you, and I’m not being flippant here. This is a system that was bequeathed to us by our ancestors – black, white and to other peoples of colour. You have to get away from being WHITE or thinking such. None of us, save for the very, very wealthy and those who have an experimental social agendum, can do anything about the colour of our skin in the course of our normal everyday lives.
Cease fixating on the colour of your skin; IT IS A DISTRACTION. Let’s discuss CULTURAL LEGACIES. Human being create culture, human beings can dismantle it. Where is George, the son, the brother, the uncle, the student, and the employee – THE NICE GUY?
How did your skin colour make you any of those? – except possibly an employee.
All of us are descendants and social creatures of this system that has been in place for many, many centuries/generations, which is still having devastating effects on some of us even today. This this is especially true for those, that the system deems inferior, and at one stage of our existence, bereft of humanity.
Our skin is no more than a social and political package in which others had culturally en-wrapped OUR ANCESTORS – for some, a bit tighter than others – inversely/conversely – who in turn has passed it on to future generations.
In an article I read recently, written by a black woman: she was emphatic that she could never date a white man and gave her reasons; they were historical, sociological and psychological. One white male commenter responded:
“I am not self-privileged because of being white or male, only what others may reflect upon me for being such. I was not raised to assume I was entitled to anything, or was any better than anyone else, due to my lot in life of being a Caucasian male – just those inalienable rights to freedom, liberty, and justice FOR ALL” A deliberative thought on his part, on the racial dynamic complexities in America, if one is an American of European descent.
You did not ask to be born a white male; you had no decision in the matter; however, with privilege comes responsibility. Try to change the cultural dynamics within your sphere of influence. It may be as inconsequential as telling your brother, sister, friend, significant other that his/her racial comment is unbecoming in this day and age – I wouldn’t recommend you saying it to your boss, unless you are able to comfortable discuss matters of race with him/her.
If you watch television, view the programs critically for the many political or social messages you see and hear. Often times codes words are used – welfare queen, welfare, urban, thugs, drug dealer, (are you hearing subtexts?), States’ Rights, especially if the latter has US geographical connotations. Again, assuming you’re an American, ask yourself, why do the media not represent what I see in America? When was the last time you watched television program (assuming you watch television) and Whites (think culture) was not shown in a positive light or there wasn’t a balance to offset a/the negativism. In most instances, IF black people or POC are shown, it is shown in the most stereotypical way.
You may ask, but how can little GR change what I view on my television screen? Ask your friend to do likewise, and before you know, you’ll have an army of critical television viewers and thinkers, and the hope is, you and others will start questioning the programming providers. That could also apply to the society at large.
Not to make my comment more tedious: to your, the “blanket statements to the effect of “all blacks are lazy” or “all blacks see white people as former slave owners” – (I’m not saying that you say it, or even think it); ost black people are inured, and their skin is preened as ducks feathers, to the many, many stereotypical comments made by white people in their workaday lives (think culture). As a matter of fact, most Blacks assume that most Whites believe the stereotypes, make judgements about black people based hem, and even have taken actions based on them – where and when possible. You may ask how black people know this. – Because there is a track record, culturally, of them doing it and worse. At times, we do ignore them for sake of our sanity, except when their actions are just so egregious.
Lastly, what’s with the “evil white man?” I know it’s an ascription to which others have imbued you, BUT are you or were you George the/an evil white man? You’ve got decouple white from George. It won’t be easy; the “white club” (think culture) can be unforgiving of those who decide to chart new waters.
Your humanity should never be predicated merely on the colour of your skin. Unfortunately, although you may not subscribe to that belief, others do, hence my use of the “white club.”
Focus on the culture and view it on a macro-level.
And this, “if i am welcome in future conversations perhaps i should just listen and say i’m sorry repeatedly instead of getting defensive.” is a very good place to start.
Remember, you’re the son, the brother, possibly father, the significant other, the student, the employee/employer, the uncle, who without fault of your own, got culturally wrapped in political, social packages, based primarily on skin colour. It is our responsibility to remove the racial encumbrances that are appended to, or culturally wrapped within those (black/white) packages. And, since some of us, especially those of European stock are in control the cultural (politics, economics, judiciary, education, etc.) levers, their efforts will have a greater impact, if they begin to discuss these issues among themselves, but they’ll have to start by listening to what POC are saying.

I read more than I comment on Abogond’s blog, but I can assure, some of the comments that you read here, are out of a sense of frustration of not being heard; and trust me, it really gets tiresome.
Generation after generation of Blacks utter the same refrain and all you get from the other side is: it’s Blacks’ fault. – From Chattel slavery, Jim Crow, black people’s inability to read just after slavery was abolished, and the list goes on. – More contemporarily, RAP (not a fan): although, that genre of music was never around in the twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies – and yet Blacks were saying the same thing then as they are as they are saying now – the three constants never change. Certainly, we’ve accomplished quite a bit since those times, but we still have a very long way to go.
There is an ancient African word; the root of it, if I’m not mistaken is derived from old Bantu:
It is loosely translated: We are all in this together, but its more recent translation/usage is: Your humanity ceases to exist, should you deny me my own.

@Uncle Milton does it matter? Many is many. I pretty much agreed with everything you wrote abagond. when you look at how white people are so eager to want to own and claim EVERYthing for theirs, even if it is CLEARLY someone else’s? it kinda makes you wonder if there’s something evil about all of them. something they can’t help because it’s simply in their blood, their nature. the very essence of evil. it starts from their culture, this mindset they are instilled with from birth. that they have rights to everything and can do whatever they want because they are white. nothing has changed. look at what they did to the South and Central Americans, to the Indians, to the Native Americans, to Africans, to the aboriginal Australians, to the people of the Phillipines, to the people of the necobar islands, and sooooooooo many more countless examples that white people have a serious flaw and defect that seems to be pretty darn incurable. the ONLY life they value is that which they can exploit, manipulate and turn into the almighty dollar. even average everyday white people. them too. all they value is money, and nothing else. people of color tend to value family and tradition, from what i can tell by looking at POC all over the world.
the only regret i have is that POC have yet to rally forth together and take back what is theirs, and right the wrongs done against them from the past. white people sure as hell won’t, and they’ll go on living up the good life at the expense of people of color til the earth ceases to turn.

At times, our society seems to be moving backwards in race relations when we should be evolving. Why the constant need to diminish our value”?

Nancy,
Those of European descent created the concept of race because they believed themselves to be the superior version of humanity, and it still holds true today. And history shows they wanted the whole world to know that whether they want to or not. We still see that supremacy today.

Ethiopia and Japan’s Aborted Marriage Alliance
http://bawza.com/2014/01/20/ethiopia-and-japan%E2%80%99s-aborted-marriage-alliance/
Ethiopia and Japan had been communicating for some time concerning their economic and political interests. Many Japanese nationalists thought it was necessary to unite the colored races against the white.
Guangzhou is witnessing many Afro-Chinese marriages, but the mainland’s lack of citizenship rights for husbands and a crackdown on foreign visas means families live in fear of being torn apart.
http://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/article/1521076/afro-chinese-marriages-boom-guangzhou-will-it-be-til-death?page=all
The relationship with Africa that China has so aggressively courted for economic gain – 2012 saw a record US$198 billion of trade between the pair – is producing an unexpected return: the mainland’s first mixed-race generation with blood from a distant continent and the right to be Chinese.
Chinese prejudice against Africans is normally based on three aspects: traditional aesthetic values, an ignorance of African culture and society, and the language barrier.
Furthermore, until the 1970s, foreigners were not permitted to live in the mainland, let alone marry a Chinese. When a child is born, the parents must register its ethnicity with the authorities: of the 56 boxes they can tick, “mixed-race” is not an option.

It is true that China requires “nationality” of its citizens to be registered on their identity card, and there is no such thing as “mixed”. Since China has some 56-57 official “nationalities”, African-Chinese people are not necessarily different from, say, mixed Uyghur-Han in that respect. People are forced to choose.
Well, prior to 2000, Americans were forced to “tick the box” and pick a single racial identity. But they did not have to carry ID cards indicating their race like many other countries.
It is likely that these people will be forced to tick “Han Chinese” if their mother is Han, as they do not (yet) have official ethnic minorities of African origin.

Yes, Jefe… we know this has been happening in China since then, but as we all mentioned in the other posts, most people have NO idea about Asia’s history whether in the USA or outside of the USA– then or Now!
The one thing that most people fail to understand is that, yes, racism and prejudice exists around the world but the difference is that most countries absorbed/s their mixed-black population into the majority; whereas,
in the USA, white American society Rejected/s their mixed-black population. They may have been absorbed in the past by accident because they looked “white” enough to Pass and no one knew they had African blood.
but white America hated black people so much, that they even took their rejection of Africans a step further by making and passing Laws about the “purity of whiteness” — One Drop Rule and Jim Crow–
they took their racial BS to another level that no one else around the world had — they made such a science out of it, that even the Nazi Germans and white Boers/ South African took their Cues from white America and looked to them to get advice!
and just to say, I also believe that absorbing the mixed-race African descendants into a majority society is problematic because it allows Society and the mixed-race individuals to continue to look down and diminish Africans and African heritage and treat it like it’s a bad thing…. this is the problem I had with many Latino societies (and my Honduran relatives)
The prejudice and colourism is still there. Depending on the country, you will now hear people say, “Oh, we are tri-racial or multi-racial” but trust, they’ll call out their Irish or Spanish grandparents 1st before they even mention who was black African or Native American in the family-if they even know or remember.

at the same time, because of the innovative and progresive nature of Afro diasporic cultures, they grate against the values of other cultures in the world , and , there inevitably are these bannings and represions of these cultures , from religioius or political , or just uptight sources in various other countries..and various decades and eras…its too much and too blatent to not be able to see it for the cultural racism that it is…

Apparently you don’t believe that neither “successful black countries” nor “nice safe black neighborhoods” exist.
As I said, there many threads in this blog and some of them include rich discussions about those topics.
I’ll skip the “successful black countries” issue because this would depend on the very definition of what is a “SUCCESSFUL country”, and I’ll go straight to the existence or not of “nice safe black neighborhoods”.
Such nice places actually exist both in America and in Africa!
In America:
Look at the post (https://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/the-black-middle-class-in-america/) where is said that
“Because so many poor blacks live at the doorstep of the American media machine, in New York and Los Angeles, many whites have this picture of blacks as being mainly poor. They would be in utter shock if they drove through some of the all-black middle class suburbs of, say, New York or Atlanta.
It is a part of America you rarely see on television or in films, yet it is one of the most notable changes that has taken place in the country in the past 50 years.”
In Africa:
Look closely at the pictures in the following links and ask yourself if in such urban environments you really don’t expect “nice neighborhoods” to exist.

Black IQs have not improved after half a century of assistance, but everyone else has had their performance decline though the tests have been dumbed down, predictable formulas instead of relational problems for example. Special help can allow a black kid to almost catch up, but the gains are lost by their teens. The ultimate consequence is that more equal results enforced in schools and colleges fail to produce capable personnel. In real life, engineers were doing things with slide rules back in the fifties that they can’t figure out with computers today.
But don’t worry, when affirmative action is rolled back the colleges that use to have you in them will be filled with asians and they will not be burdened by your political correctness.

While searching the WWW, I came across this site and your discussion re why whites hate blacks, Although I haven’t read every comment I have read many and I have to admit I’m rather shocked to learn how white people are viewed by the black people who have posted here. Let me start off by saying I’m not a racist. I wasn’t raised that way and I didn’t raise my daughter that way. She has dated white men as well as black men; white men early on in her life then black men exclusively. I did ask her one time if she had experienced any comments from people and she said the only people that have said anything negative to her were a few black women, but mostly dirty looks. She said she was approached by a few black woman over the years saying she shouldn’t date blacks because she was them away from the black women. I never had a problem whatsoever with her dating or for that matter marrying a man of another race as long as whoever she was with treated her with respect and loved her. That’s what I told her father (divorced) when he expressed his disapproval and she had no problem putting him in his place when he confronted her. I don’t deny that racism exists, believe me, and I’m not saying each and every one of you hasn’t experienced first hand prejudice or racism. Someone asked why a white person would want to mate with someone who lacks simple intelligence, is uncommonly ugly and has no moral standards.To answer that, I doubt you could find anyone would who would want to marry someone of that caliber, regardless of their race. They aren’t exactly redeeming qualities you know. Not all white people are how they’ve been described here. To name a few, we have been depicted as having a superiority complex, we believe every single black person is an armed robber, that we look down on, fear & laugh at blacks, That we fear black gangs & black rapists, we are racist because we are jealous as well as envious & that we are not happy being white, that we have access to money and power, that white is demonic and that we need blacks to be our punching bag. It was even said “These people” hate us. “These people”?? I couldn’t believe I’d read that. I’ve have heard people say “those people” and as soon as it’s said, they’re confronted with “what do you mean “those people”, because those words alone are negative and considered to be prejudicial or a sign or racism. I have no idea the number of white people who are truly racist or prejudiced against blacks or blacks against white for that matter, but by the same token you can’t say all white people are haters or racists because doing so is no less racist than a white person saying all blacks are lazy or criminals. I’m of the belief there is good in most people. Up until this moment I had no idea we (as whites) were viewed this way and I can only hope the majority do not share the same opinion. FYI, I don’t fear black gangs, I fear all gangs. I don’t fear black rapists, I fear all rapists. .I wouldn’t think of looking down on you, nor am I jealous, envious or terrified if a black person were to be polite or cordial. . I’m certainly not unhappy being white, as one person said. As a matter of fact, I think about being white about as much as I think about being right handed or brown eyed. A statement was made accusing whites of believing blackness is demonic while another stated whiteness was demonic. How about we not demonize any race in its entirety. .Nobody wants to be the victim of racism or have it happen to someone you know or love. You know how you feel when it happens to you, but that’s exactly what you’ve done by calling all whites haters, not to mention the long list of how we have been inaccurately described.. I can hear that you’re angry and I can’t begin to imagine the difficulties you’ve encountered during your lives but perpetuating racism isn’t the solution. I don’t expect to change the minds of those who have made these comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I wanted to share my thoughts and my perspective

Ebola Virus: For Want of Gloves, Doctors Die
Health Workers Believe Ebola’s Toll on Staff Could Be Mitigated With More Basic Hospital Supplies
By Drew Hinshaw
Updated Aug. 16, 2014 2:43 a.m. ET
In the Liberian capital of Monrovia, the city’s main hospital has very little staff and few patients — an exodus triggered by several Ebola-related deaths at the facility.
SERGEANT KOLLIE TOWN, Liberia—Rubber gloves were nearly as scarce as doctors in this part of rural Liberia, so Melvin Korkor would swaddle his hands in plastic grocery bags to deliver babies.
His staff didn’t bother even with those when a woman in her 30s stopped by complaining of a headache. Five nurses, a lab technician—then a local woman who was helping out—cared for her with their bare hands.
Within weeks, all of them died. The woman with a headache, they learned too late, had Ebola.
Somewhere in the workplace exchange of handshakes and sweat, Dr. Korkor caught the virus, too. For five days, he read the Bible on a cot in an Ebola ward, watching his colleagues bleed to death from a disease they weren’t equipped or trained to treat. Across the room, a nurse pregnant with what would have been her third child slipped away. “She told me ‘Doc, I’m dying,’ ” he recalled Kou Gbanjah saying.
(Ebola virus: Liberian authorities start re-hospitalizing patients who fled clinic).
Though Dr. Korkor survived, his hospital has closed, as have dozens of other health centers in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. It is a devastating setback for countries facing a range of deadly diseases in addition to Ebola. The World Health Organization estimates the region’s Ebola outbreak has killed 1,145 people, roughly half the 2,127 believed to have been infected. West African countries that had only begun to climb out from civil war and poverty have slipped into economic disarray.
Much of this toll could have been avoided or at least mitigated, hospital workers on the front lines say, if they had been provided with medical basics, starting with one of the simplest: disposable rubber gloves.
Instead, health workers have been treating many patients with unprotected hands, greatly increasing the risk the Ebola virus will kill the very professionals trying to fight it.
As of Tuesday, at least 36 health workers in Liberia had died from the disease, according to health ministry records. Many who have caught but survived the virus are traumatized, as are colleagues, and may prove difficult to coax back to work.

@abagond,, Thank you for giving me an opportunity to repost. I certainly don’t condone those actions, nor do I share that opinion.
The following is my repost:
@abagond, I don’t know why you responded saying “I did not say ALL Whites, I said MANY”. I never said you did. I never mentioned you or any other name for that matter.
The following paragraph is not directed at any one individual:
When comments are made about racism, or any other topic, I think it’s very important to be specific about how wide spread you feel the problem is and by leaving out that information you give the impression it’s the entire group of people. In one reply to a post someone said “not all white people….” and the reply to that was “congratulations, now you know how it feels to be stereotyped”. When someone isn’t specific, such as the examples in my first post, the message becomes convoluted. As an example (and I am not saying I hold this opinion); if I were to say, “Blacks have a chip on their shoulders and have a sense of entitlement because their ancestors were slaves”, it gives the impression I’m saying ALL blacks if I’m not specific.
@Sharina, I think I just got wow’d too (yes I realize I just made up a word). I find it amusing when someone feels the need to repeat themselves for nothing more than emphasis. But I will respond in kind. I am perfectly capable of reading, therefore, do not assume, I repeat, do not assume I required your redundancy. (end of private message)
.In closing, I did find it a bit odd but not all that surprising that those were your responses to my post. I would have thought it might have produced some worthwhile dialogue but I can see your opinions are so deeply seeded that you aren’t interested in trying to see things from another perspective and I find that a shame. I came here and continued to read posts in the hopes I could see another perspective as well, not just leave mine. But it seems some are more interested in commiserating than narrowing the wide gap that you see between the races. Change sometimes takes a very long time but don’t you see the importance of reaching even one person at a time. You have the opportunity to do that here and I hope you have. But I worry after they’ve read the comments here, you’ll miss the opportunity that you may have had to make a positive change in that person. Seeing this was my first time here, I really don’t know the purpose or mission of this ongoing thread so maybe it was never intended to make a positive change but merely a place to post comments.
Thank you abagond.

Now that I am at my computer I can respond in full.
I will repeat what a person said on open thread that really is more detailed on addressing such matters.
“When I say “whites”, “Asians”, “blacks”, I never mean ALL, or necessarily even MOST. It means some, or possibly many. I saw in other comments how you object to terms like “whites”, “Asians”, etc. as “intelligent” people interpret that to mean all. I would counter that intelligent people don’t, or at least shouldn’t interpret it that way.
And if you use all encompassing words like ALL or NEVER in your statements (esp. in CAPS), then people, even intelligent people, may interpret your statement to mean 100% or 0% of the cases. Unless you have actually examined 100% of the cases, it will undermine your credibility to use such all encompassing statements like that.( https://abagond.wordpress.com/open-thread/#comment-246740)
“I would have thought it might have produced some worthwhile dialogue but I can see your opinions are so deeply seeded that you aren’t interested in trying to see things from another perspective and I find that a shame.”—Based on two simple statements you made a complete assumption (yet again). You already have it set in your mind what we believe, feel, think, are not interested in doing, and perhaps what color underwear we like. Why should I or anyone subject themselves to discussing with someone that already has developed an imaginary idea of what that person on the other end thinks? I say this often but it never gets old “when you assume you make an ass out of U and me.”
You come to these blogs seeking out people who agree with your prospective and when you don’t find one you post your own ideas. I say this because I read through some comments and found many with varying ideas. You lecture people about what they are or are not doing and all the while this is nothing more than your elaborate assumptions subconsciously (possibly consciously) designed to make yourself out to be a superior individuals than the ones you are directing your ideas to.
My goal is not to be rude, but it is to be realistic and as such the problem in what you see begins with you. For those that truly hate all whites they are not hard to find as they make it very clear.

@sharinalr @Sharina @Brothawolf You said “This is your own statement making it very clear that you thought it was a bunch of black people posting here”. This is quite an assumption as well as displaying your inability to comprehend. Where in my post did I ever mention “a bunch of blacks”. Those are your words, not mine. Where did I even mention a specific number that I believed were authored by blacks. I didn’t. What I said was “I’m rather shocked to learn how white people are viewed by black people”. So before you feel the need to critique my reading capabilities, I would suggest brushing up on your reading comprehension. You are hardly in any position to judge me while it’s blatant you can’t decipher one simple sentence. But if it’s still unclear let me simplify this even more. (shocked how blacks view whites).
When typing whether in a text or in a forum such as this, it’s very important what you say doesn’t become convoluted. That’s why it’s important the reader isn’t left to interpret what you may have meant. You are judged on what you say and what you do not what you meant to say. So am I to understand if someone new comes to the thread they are supposed to know that it’s Sharina’s practice you “never mean ALL”. What you do by this omission is create unnecessary exchanges such as this. I have seen other posts where people are questioning the exact same thing. So it appears (and I’m only making an observation not a statement of fact) this is a confusing area for a number of people and you could avoid that unnecessary exchange merely by making your statements a bit less convoluted. And just so you’re clear on this, I do not object to the use of the words “whites”, “blacks” “asians” or even “Chihuahuas”. These are some of the examples to make it a bit clearer: “a few whites” or “quite a few blacks” or maybe even “one Chihuahua in heat and a great dane” would be helpful.
I try not to make assumptions, however, when you are in a dialogue and sharing thoughts, one analyzes what is said and makes a determination based on that exchange and comes to what they believe is a reasonable conclusion. If, however, one or both fails to provide all the necessary facts/information by intentional omission or by accident, that’s where problems arise.
There is one point where we do follow the same idea, oddly enough. I too agree that it appears you are not interested in any worthwhile dialogue. No I haven’t the desire nor the stomach to get the low down on your soiled underwear and the thought, quite frankly, is stomach churning. I had stated prior that I came here to get other’s perspective, as well as share my own. Did you breeze over that statement as well? Not surprising since it appears to be a habit you find difficult to break
I don’t look for others that share my opinion. Besides I’d rather be in the company of blacks who don’t share my opinion than to be in the company of that poor white woman who is down on her knees, begging for forgiveness for the oppression of black folks, who says she would deserve it if ‘they’ fought back, who openly admits there is something wrong with her, but prays for your graciousness in absolving her for all the sins of the father visited upon the children. Hunny, get back up on your feet and take back some of the dignity you gave away. It’s hardly your fault or mine for what happened hundreds of years ago for crying out loud. If you are going to bow your head and pray, let it be to whatever God you may believe in. Only he can absolve you of your sins, not these people. You’re not responsible for something that happened some 400 years ago. Do you really think your simple “I’m sorry” has lessened their disdain for white people one single bit? I’ll be damned if I will apologize for something I haven’t done.
Your next concern was cautioning me in the use of the words “ALL” and ‘NEVER”. I don’t believe I’ve used them in a way that would “tarnish’ my credibility so it’s a possibility you were merely offering some advice in case I made such grievous errors in the future. I may even decide to use these words in a way similar to your theory of omission, but in reverse. That is, using the words ALL or NEVER exclusively. But that wouldn’t mean I’m suggesting it’s really 100% or even 0% of the cases but maybe “some” or “a few”. After all, as long as people know my intent, it shouldn’t matter what words I omit or include, right?
So let’s count, shall we:
1. You made the assumption that I said “a bunch of blacks”;
2. You assume those leaving comments should automatically know that if you make a statement such as “Whites are an ignorant bunch” (this was just a hypothetical example), you are not meaning that ALL are ignorant;
3. You assumed I object to the use of the words white, asians and blacks when I do not object to those words at all. (This has already been addressed)
4. You assume I don’t know the definition & proper use of the words “all” or “never”.
5. You make the assumption I come to the blogs seeking people who agree with me; after all, I DID read many of the posts before I ever commented;
6. You assumed I view myself as the more superior individual than the ones I’m directing my ideas, which is not only one of the biggest assumptions but is quite judgmental as well. You don’t know me as a person, nor do you know my character, morals, values or beliefs. You seem to be judging me while condemning those that judge you.
Just for educational purposes, your use of the word “prospective” was incorrect. You confused the words “prospective” with “perspective”. The word prospective is used as follows: The white prospective juror was seated in the trial of a black man, as both attorneys were confident she would be fair and impartial.
Perspective is used as follows : From my perspective, you have self-entitlement issues while blaming the white folk of today for something that happened 400 years ago. I found it quite amusing because I showed you how to spell it properly in my comment.
I, too, have heard the saying “when you assume you make an ass out of U and me”. As you have made a plethora of assumptions, I would like to hand you a hankie so you can wipe off the ASSume which is dribbling down your chin at an alarming rate.

“This is quite an assumption as well as displaying your inability to comprehend.”—Unfortunately this not only shows your lack of comprehension, but a major issue with certain individuals ability to acknowledge and wrong and fix it. I actually quoted you in full what you said, but I will do it again and give a link.
“Where in my post did I ever mention “a bunch of blacks”. Those are your words, not mine. “—Where in my post did I say you mentioned bunch of blacks? You quoted what I said and still fail to see your flaw. I said “This is your own statement making it very clear that you thought it was a bunch of black people posting here” which is referring to what you said here:
“Although I haven’t read every comment I have read many and I have to admit I’m rather shocked to learn how white people are viewed by the black people who have posted here” (https://abagond.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/why-do-whites-hate-demonize-fear-and-look-down-on-blacks/#comment-248583).
Above is your comment and it is clear from it you assumed there were blacks commenting in here. It does not say I am shocked about what others think or minorities think. So you can save the spinning for the educational lacking you may regularly deal with.
“What I said was “I’m rather shocked to learn how white people are viewed by black people””—That is only half of your comment and I have posted the “who comment here” portion you conveniently left out.
“So before you feel the need to critique my reading capabilities, I would suggest brushing up on your reading comprehension.”—No need because after this break down you will clearly see who needs that advice. Before I do so I will define assumption. Assumptions are “ thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.” With that being said let’s being.
1. Nope. I actually quoted what you said and provided where you made that correlation based on a some comments you read.
2. Nope. I made no such assumption. I actually explained it to you. In me explaining I was not assuming you knew.
3. Nope. In fact I never mentioned your aversion to the terms white, Asians, or black. I used a quote from someone to illustrate what is meant by whites and not using all whites.
4. Nope. I never said I did assume that. Again I used a quote from someone to illustrate a point.
5. Actually I have proof that says as much. You made the clear comment “I came here and continued to read posts in the hopes I could see another perspective as well, not just leave mine. But it seems some are more interested in commiserating than narrowing the wide gap that you see between the races.” As i said I read the comments section too and there are tons of different perspectives. So in terms you were looking for one you agreed with or agreed with your idea. Not that there was no “different perspectives.”
6. Nope and there goes that proof again. You lectured people on what you viewed as hate. I will quote “But it seems some are more interested in commiserating than narrowing the wide gap that you see between the races. Change sometimes takes a very long time but don’t you see the importance of reaching even one person at a time. You have the opportunity to do that here and I hope you have. But I worry after they’ve read the comments here, you’ll miss the opportunity that you may have had to make a positive change in that person.” Now there is nothing wrong with wishing well etc. But there is something wrong with it when it is based solely on an assumption and an unwillingness to ask the writer or others what they mean feel etc. If a person feels the need to lecture someone it usually if not always comes out of them feeling they are superior. IJS
“I, too, have heard the saying “when you assume you make an ass out of U and me”. As you have made a plethora of assumptions, I would like to hand you a hankie so you can wipe off the ASSume which is dribbling down your chin at an alarming rate.”—Keep it because it is clear you just dived into the assumption that one would call mind reading. In fact I think you may be guilty of it in all 3 forms, but you won’t see it until you step back or get walked through.
At any rate I look forward to you spinning this and I will respond to the remainder of your nonsense later.

“ So am I to understand if someone new comes to the thread they are supposed to know that it’s Sharina’s practice you “never mean ALL”.”—No, it is practice to ask and not lecture. There have been several white before you and those that wanted an open discussion asked.
“And just so you’re clear on this, I do not object to the use of the words “whites”, “blacks” “asians” or even “Chihuahuas”. These are some of the examples to make it a bit clearer: “a few whites” or “quite a few blacks” or maybe even “one Chihuahua in heat and a great dane” would be helpful.”—Please quote where I said you did? I made it clear that I would use the words of another to illustrate a point. If a part of that quote did not apply to you then I am confused on what you are complaining and going on and on about. I clearly said “I will repeat what a person said on open thread that really is more detailed on addressing such matters.”
“ try not to make assumptions, however, when you are in a dialogue and sharing thoughts, one analyzes what is said and makes a determination based on that exchange and comes to what they believe is a reasonable conclusion. If, however, one or both fails to provide all the necessary facts/information by intentional omission or by accident, that’s where problems arise.”—No, problems arise when individuals come in with preconceived ideas and get upset when people correct them. I corrected you on one thing and it was as if I spit in your face how you reacted.
“There is one point where we do follow the same idea, oddly enough. I too agree that it appears you are not interested in any worthwhile dialogue.

Not surprising since it appears to be a habit you find difficult to break”—I am not interested in worthwhile assumptions. Which is actually what you are doing. Besides my dialogue seems to show more class than yours which tells me I would simply be wasting my knowledge with any real dialogue. For example I said what color underwear and here you are talking about soiled underwear. I read your take on other’s perspective and I agreed with you on much, but I see that comment as a front and the comments to follow a true show of what type of person you really are.
“ I’ll be damned if I will apologize for something I haven’t done.”—- Then don’t as I am not sure who is asking you to apologize for anything. IJS
“Just for educational purposes, your use of the word “” was incorrect. You confused the words “prospective” with “perspective”. The word prospective is used as follows: The white prospective juror was seated in the trial of a black man, as both attorneys were confident she would be fair and impartial……”—So I did. Though I have no issue admitting when I am wrong. Want a cookie or waffle for pointing it out? Or perhaps you want me to sue my spell check. *shrugs*Petty, but entirely amusing because it exposes much of your mindset. Hey there is this thing called a grammar troll (http://www.smosh.com/smosh-pit/articles/18-types-of-internet-trolls) seems to define you perfectly. 🙂
In short I have learned a few things from your posts. You are either a liar or have short term memory. I found quite a few things you are claiming and evidence to contradict in your own posts. I think you are a closet racist. In fact in your attempt to correct me on the word prospective vs perspective you chose to use two example of the racial nature. Although I gather what you may have used it for it still says more about you, than me. Then again you have yet to ask me about me have you? You have an issue with comprehending written words and you do not have enough integrity to admit when you are wrong. Did I miss anything?

I have to be quite honest, I started to read your rambling, but I soon realized I didn’t want to inflict that much pain and suffering on myself. So I will walk away for now realizing that some people are so blinded by their own racism while accusing others of the same. Closing your minds to the truth and pulling the race card at every opportunity actually works against you. There are no black slaves today, there are no white only restaurants and you no longer have to move to the back of the bus, like the blacks did hundreds of years ago. So stop pretending to be the white man’s slave. You have the same opportunities as the next person and if you aren’t motivated to strive for excellence, don’t blame anyone else for the way your life turns out. And if for some reason you don’t get that job you really wanted to in the future, don’t cop out and justify it by saying they are racists. It just may be that you weren’t qualified. And if you get pulled over, don’t assume it’s because you’re black, maybe your tail light was out. And if someone doesn’t hold the door open for you at the restaurant, don’t automatically think it’s because of the color of your skin. Maybe, just maybe, they didn’t see you or maybe they just got some bad news and their mind was elsewhere. And if you think that person at your work that looks away when you walk by is a black hater, it just may be that it’s not your skin they don’t like, but the person under that skin. It’s time you free yourselves from the hatred, bitterness and contempt you feel for others. The only thing we owe you is the respect you show us.

I appreciate your suggestion, but I will decline. Considerable time has already been spent by all sides, making our opinions known and I don’t think reading the comment in it’s entirety and responding to that which I disagree would bring us any closer to understanding the other. We are worlds apart in our views and I don’t see us being able to bridge that gap. I believe one thing and you believe another. That is correct, some of what was said was not directed at any one person in particular, but was meant to be my collective assessment (opinion) of all the comments I’ve read whether the authors were black, white or purple.. I form my opinions (some call them assumptions) based on what people say in their comments, just as others form their opinion based on what I say in mine. I find it ironic though that some people have no difficulty making comments/assumptions about me and in the same breath chastise me for making assumptions/comments about them. I’m not sure what I said that you found condescending and self-righteous because I’ve never felt superior over someone, but I had to laugh when I read your comment “And I’m not even black”. (shakes my head). If you found what I said to be condescending or self-righteous what worldly difference would it make if you were black, white, pink or purple.

Racism within the white community is nothing more than self-preservation. They have to do something to survive on this planet when you are only 15% of the world’s population. The real history has shown that people of European decent have manipulated and stolen their way into prosperity on earth. This has taken many shapes and form, none more prevalent than the bible. They have used the bible as their justification to do what they have done and to act the way that they act. Showing their pictorial version of what Jesus looks like and scriptures making statements such as to obey them as they are Jesus and the use of slaves and how they are to be treated. This type of psychological input over thousands of years would give rise to the current mindset of people on both sides of this issue.

“No, the sad part is that you can’t even recognize if anything applies to you.”—Oh I recognize when things apply to me, but in this case it does not. If you don’t know my race or my gender then how can you say that I have a blame white people mentality? In fact I have not even given you an Idea of how I feel about whites, slavery, or anything on the matter yet you try so hard to make your assumptions stick to a person you have no clue about.
“My opinions are based strictly on what been said and nothing more.”—Your opinions were based on what you assumed was black people. You can’t even own up to being wrong. You are still trying to push the color does not matter yet you completely contradict yourself in every comment thus far.
“I have no interest past that point.”—You said that last comment, yet here you are.
“While there may have been an occasion in your life when someone found you interesting enough to want to know more about you, but I assure you I do not have that desire”—And that is why you are making assumptions as if they are true.
“I have no hate or contempt in my heart for anyone, nor do I have reason to be bitter. If I dislike someone it’s not because of the color of their skin, it’s because of what’s beneath their skin.”—Yet you can’t decide what is beneath a person based on assumptions, so this seems to be a false statement on your part to make yourself feel better. You feel too much of a need to remind us that skin color does not matter, but have you notice that you and only you have brought in skin color throughout this whole tango of words. Of course it is not do to skin color. It is do to ignorance and an unwillingness to change or acknowledge your ignorance. Just as you can say you are not bitter all day but your own words fail you again.
“I had an opportunity to show these comments to my daughter’s long time boyfriend (who happens to be black) and the first words out of his mouth were, “You racist?” “You’re obviously talking to someone who doesn’t know you”.—Who cares. Notice once again how you are bringing in race? “Regardless of race” is what you are saying but using the black boyfriend to solidify that you are not racist. Yet at the same time using several example of the racial text and racial stereotypes to make a point. You are not the first racist to claim they are not racist yet make every other comment about race and what they assume is a stereotypical view of black people.

@wordynerdygirl,
Before accusing me of not knowing how to use paragraphs, learn the proper use of quotation marks. You used single quotation marks when you should have used double quotation marks.
Additionally, I’d like to offer some suggestions regarding when to begin a new paragraph. A paragraph is a collection of related sentences dealing with a single topic. The basic rule of thumb with paragraphing is to keep one idea to a paragraph. You can have one idea and several pieces of supporting evidence. You can also have several points in a single paragraph, as long as they relate to the overall topic of the paragraph. Since all three of your sentences were closely related, one paragraph was all that was necessary.
Following those simple guidelines should prevent you from repeating the same mistakes in the future.

Before you seek to lecture anyone on anything take two notes.
1. While that may be basic it also says as follows:
“The Basic Rule: Keep one idea to one paragraph
The basic rule of thumb with paragraphing is to keep one idea to one paragraph. If you begin to transition into a new idea, it belongs in a new paragraph. There are some simple ways to tell if you are on the same topic or a new one. You can have one idea and several bits of supporting evidence within a single paragraph. You can also have several points in a single paragraph as long as they relate to the overall topic of the paragraph. If the single points start to get long, then perhaps elaborating on each of them and placing them in their own paragraphs is the route to go.”
Emphasis on the point getting too long and starting its own paragraphs.
2. Research quotation marks and the use of singles:
“In the United States, we use single quotation marks [ ‘ ’ ] to enclose quoted material (or the titles of poems, stories, articles) within other quoted material:
• “‘Design’ is my favorite poem,” he said.
• “Did she ask, ‘What’s going on?'”
• Ralph Ellison recalls the Golden Age of Jazz this way: “It was itself a texture of fragments, repetitive, nervous, not fully formed; its melodic lines underground, secret and taunting; its riffs jeering—’Salt peanuts! Salt peanuts!'”
British practice, again, is quite different. In fact, single-quote marks and double-quote marks are apt to be reversed in usage. Instructors in the U.S. should probably take this into account when reading papers submitted by students who have gone to school in other parts of the globe.”

I don’t feel the need to insult people. It may be that I came close to the truth and it shatters how you view yourself. Perhaps you might benefit from developing a thicker skin or maybe even broadening those narrow views. Quite often those narrow minded individuals aren’t fully capable of recognizing their character flaws, even when pointed out to them.
If they still choose not to make any changes in themselves, they will merely stagnate in their tainted and unrealistic view of themselves and they don’t deserve our sympathy. The recent request to “please stop…” reminded me of those school yard days when sobbing Susie would run to the teacher, snotty nose and all, whining “Billy pulled my hair and called me bad names. Make him stop”. If you seem to get offended easily and are continually telling others to stop making assumptions about you, take a good look at yourself and the things you say.
If you want people to stop thinking negatively about you, stop supplying them with all the proof they need to draw that conclusion. It was never necessary for me to pick from a jar of assumptions.

They dont hate the Jewish nation in Israel because they’re NOT the Real Jews so there’s NO threat (DEBT) their.

This is a very interesting yet troubling topic. In my opinion there are several reasons why whites don’t like blacks.

While I do understand his rage, I don’t think that was the right way to go about it and it showed quite a bit of incivility in himself. In this world there are tons of black people who are stereotypical and don’t apply themselves in the way that society would have them to, but there are also some who are good wholesome civilians, who are well educated, and are productive people in society. I think it is hard for people to see that blacks can be productive citizens because the wrong doings of other blacks over shows them. I just think it’s important that we don’t categorize all of one kind as horrible or uncivilized just because some of them make bad choices.

But because so many young white males look like psychotic mass murderers, does that rationalize why we all should be petrified of them? Vilify them?
So the point is not that all white people are not the same (ie, NOT the analogue of your statement that all black people are different). Yet is it rational behavior

“black people are taught that white people are the devil and will only see you as inferior.”—I disagree. As a black person I was taught many things, but never to hate or how a white person saw me. None of the black friends I have were taught this either. The only time I have ever heard of this is from white people. Mainly because they believe that because they were taught to have such feelings that blacks must also harbor such. That in itself is false.
Whites do hinder blacks, but I agree that they do not fully hold them back because despite the hatred and racism towards black people we are still succeeding. The media loves to portray the worse of us, but there is a reason they do this. They do this so no one knows what black people truly do and can do. There are black genius kids, Black kids graduating college at ages as young as 12. There are blacks inventing products that most blacks will never know about and white people will try to take credit for. My list can go on, but I think my point is made.
This does not mean that all of us are succeeding and the stereotypes are a lie because some are that way, but be sure that there are more of us that do not fit that stereotype than those of us that do.
I invite you to learn and ask questions of things you do not understand as many in here will be happy to explain. If you choose not to do such then I still hold no ill will towards you, but wish you all the best.

If your question is NOT rhetorical then I have to assume either you live on a planet somewhere with all democrats or else you are just dumb enough to ask a bone head question like this I imagine you are too stupid to understand the answer.
But if you feel like hearing the truth here goes:
1. Re whites hating [sic] blacks. Blacks need to understand that whites are not raised to like like they are so after 40 as a psychologist the usual pattern is to hate people who injure you–if a black man robs, pistol whips, rapes, etc., you you have no reason to love that person. The truth is that so many blacks lie steal and cheat (yes we know you play the “lets fuck why-t over” game from childhood–Barry obama is an excellent example–I’ve NEVER heard the man (assuming that is what he is) say one thing that isn’t a lie. He kills blacks and whites, “I’m pretty good at killing people” he says and is proud of it, not to mention the billions of bucks she’s stolen for himself since 2008.
2. What you are doing is what Freud would call transference, i.e., YOU HATE whites so you ass/u/me whites hate you back. As I said it is the whites folks you victimize that hate you. Are you saying they should love being screwed over by black thugs, rapist, etc.?
3. Whites as I’ve already said are not raised to hate and if a white person is saying something negative you can bet it is because they’ve been injured in some way by one or more often several blacks. Also since the average white has 15 + IQ points over the average black it may not dawn on you to ask the bad-white-person “what happened to them to cause such a problem as you describe. But I doubt it would occur to you.
4. With the “fear” question you’ve hit the nail on the head–are white people suppose to just role over and let you break whatever law you want (the average crook commits over 300 crimes a year and over 80% of the criminals are black–sure you can claim we’re being racist in arresting only blacks, and of course you deny the fact that the average of burglers arrested is 14 and black, and of course you deny that the average person convicted of a crime has had a dozen arrests befor the courts get pissed enough to actually sentence them to hard time.
So the fact is that there is way way too much violence in black communities (notice you don’t see white people riot at the drop of a hat do you)–you guys are raised to be violent whites are not–makes a wonderful hair and hound situation which is why the black on white violence is skyrocketing as you are aware (but, of course, will deny).
The other side of that coin is that you’ve been told for over half century that you are always the victim, and I’m sure most of you believe it, so because you think you are always the victim and that ANYTHING you do to the victimizer, always a white person, is justified.
So the bad news is that:
A. Blacks are committing so many crimes that law enforcement (as you are aware) can’t handle it and the response is that ordinary people are starting to fight back.
B, Contrary to what you’ve been taught white folks are NOT jumping into pickup and hunting blacks like animals–however, I can promise that white folks are coming to their senses and are no longer willing to accept the “it’s the whites fault” BS always spouted.
Bottom line, you can call this racist or bigoted or whatever else you want to invent to feel justified in acting violent, but what people are discovering that white people too have a Right to live without fear, their families have the Right to be protected and their communities have a Right to survive and Americans are no longer will to accept being victimized just because you say it’s what we deserve.

If you REALLY want to get even for the fact that someone sometime in your past may have been a slave then I suggest you go find your fellow africans and take out whatever hate you feel they deserve.

It is interesting that someone who claims to be a psychologist would have read all the things into the post that were not there, unless you were wearing a very thick lens that reinterprets everything to fit your pre-conceived notions.
For example,
Yes, OK. Now how does that extend to hating black people in general? I have been beat up and robbed by black people on several occasions. I have been beat up, robbed and sent to the hospital emergency room by whites also. I do not feel a great deal of love for people who did that to me (although, technically, so my parents also beat /injured me and sent me to the hospital). Are you suggesting that I should hate all blacks and all whites for what a few did to me? Maybe hate all Americans?
Some do, yes. So do many whites. So do many Asians. The truth is that while quite a few blacks lie, steal and cheat, even more white people do. The largest theft of property and money in the USA has been by whites.
What you are doing is making something out of this air. Abagond has NEVER stated that he hates whites. And none of the statements made in this posts refer to “ALL” whites. Maybe you are doing this “TRANSFERENCE” thing. Do you hate people like that, so you are assuming that others hate in the same way that you do?
And where does that imply that one should hate and demonize all blacks because of what a few did. As I said, I have been injured in some way by one or more often several blacks. I have also been injured in some way by one or more often several whites. According to your psychological theory, how should I react to that?
In elementary school, High School, and again post university, I was measured to have an IQ of 175-180 – top 1%. But would it occur to you to ask the “bad” black person “what happened to them to cause such a problem as you describe?” Given the thick lens you are wearing, one would imagine that few things occur to you.
OMG, 😮 😮 😮
OK, the gun toting, war mongering folks are which segment of the demographic? And which demographic is allowed to kill whom in the name of “self-defense”?
So do Blacks and Asians and children and gays and old people. Everyone should have that right. It is not the sole right of any demographic.
If you really understand what you wrote, then you should understand how police brutality and the justice system is ravaging black communities and the USA as a whole. It has also ruined any moral authority that the USA tries to claim in the international sphere.
That thick lens you are wearing is distorting your interpretation of the reality in the USA and even causes you to have reading comprehension skills. It happens to a lot of people in the USA, even to blacks. But the first step is to recognize this and then strive to learn the truth. But for someone who claims to be a psychologist, you have not even tried to skim the surface of what constitutes the psychology in America.
Would you consider relocating to a white reservation in Montana just to get away from this “violence”?

Maybe you should ask a white person why they hate blacks. I’ll give some examples:
1. Blacks are louder and more obnoxious than all other races. Not all blacks, but it’s noticeable to every other race.
2. When blacks move to nicer neighborhoods, they still commit more crimes or always seem to start corny suburban gangs. They’re not dangerous, but it’s unncessary in suburban neighborhoods.
3. Black women always give shitty attitudes about everything. Black men don’t even like to deal with them, and you can’t hire them to do anything because they’re such shitty workers.
4. They think their culture is more important than any other race. This isn’t necessarily black peoples fault as dumb white kids try to mimic them.
That’s all I got for now but I’m sure you can find more.

What you wrote was a polite letter of ignorance. For starters the post did not say all whites, but if the shoe fits I suppose one would jump the gun.
“Let us start with the liberal media. You can blame them. “—Why should the media be to blame for people making the choice to be lazy and not fact check?
” Every report they make is on the black man committing a crime…and today…you see black people taking videos with their cameras of others beating on whites…mothers with children…etc…of course all people are going to fear what is possible.”—Last I checked this is a trait of conservative media not so much liberal media. They pretty much salivate at confirmation bias. As to the video, I would guess you are hinting at youtube. In that case you would have to actually search specifically for those type videos. Engaging in confirmation bias.
“.I do know that black people can walk through a white neighborhood, but white people cannot walk through black neighborhoods…your article is biased and if you were a scholar you would know not to write such biased works…works that only show one side.”—So because you know it that means it does not happen in the opposite in the rest of the world? Black people get cops called on them for walking in white neighborhoods. Some even get harassed and there have been reports in media of this behavior. Where I live whites regularly go to the hood for food and to do business. You do realize your comment is also biased and naive. Not to mention you display some of what he speaks of without even realizing it.
“I can tell you, as a white woman, there is NO WAY IN HELL..I would walk through a populated black neighborhood..why??

And I hope you take a look at the other side through journal articles.”—So on one end you advocate blaming the media, yet on the other the media is the truth? You don’t see very bright. Most blacks are productive. Most blacks are actually middle class and poor working class actually…..OMG work. No one regularly loots or steals and the amazing this is even in those riots the majority are not looting or stealing. As to creating better stories, I can think of several better stories that portray blacks as good citizens etc. But people like you would rather hear the bad. It makes you feel better about yourself because that is how narcissistic people are. See how you chastise for generalizing a whole group, yet were quick to do it yourself.

Not to even mention the many good, middle-class or affluent Black neighborhoods, but even in the ghetto, this is not much of a problem. White people have this ridiculous notion that any White person who walks through the ghetto is immediately stopped, mugged, or raped in some dark alley. In reality, most White people in the ghetto are seen as unknown quantities. They are met with more distrust and nervousness than with instant victimization. Almost 90% of Black crime is committed against other Back people.
The other side of the argument is equally hilarious: “black people can walk through a white neighborhood…” How many times have cops been called, followed by harassment, and illegal orders to “keep moving” towards Black people?

In his and Dr. Reich’s view, Neanderthals interbred only with non-Africans, the people who left Africa, which would mean that non-Africans drew from a second gene pool not available to Africans.
Neanderthal DNA is where high human intelligence originated, by the way. Neanderthals were found to have larger craniums than blacks (homo erectus) thus larger brains.

Heil Third Place.
But the entire last century was punctuated with artificial ceilings of what Blacks couldn’t do because of their race—which ALL turned out to be wrong in every single instance. I won’t even waste time going through the list. Today’s racist have, by and large, grudgingly conceded that the “Blacks can’t do that” argument is a loosing one. They have now retreated behind the “Black Exception argument. Sure there are a few Blacks that can do well but MOST of them can’t! Again, a nonsense view that unwittingly proves that an aptitude for success has nothing to do with inherited racial genetics.
With each decade the ground that racists stand on grows smaller and smaller as they strain in desperation to find some small space to hang their supposed superiority upon. Commenters like Truth are angry because they are desperate, plain and simple. Their world is crumbling and has been crumbling for a long, long, time. In fact the anonymous internet post is almost the last place of solace.

I don’t feel inferior to any race. In my heart of hearts I truly believe that whites are, by far, the most advanced and superior race on the planet. Like they say, give a white a hammer and he’ll build a cathedral. Give an Asian a hammer and he’ll build more hammers. Give a Jew a hammer and he’ll give it to the negro to kill white people.

I grew up in a lily white town in the 60s-70s in Southern Oregon. As an adult my husband was transferred to Fort Ord, California and I had a huge awakening on black ‘people’. They were rude, hateful, surly, abusive, and fowl mouthed. White women couldn’t even go shopping in a grocery store without these feral animals encircling her cart and daring her to even say excuse me. They attacked for no reason, just like they do today with the knockout game. You are hated for your low IQs and your feral behaviors. Nothing more, nothing less. I was not taught to hate races in my loving home. I was taught to hate you blacks by only you blacks. You did it to me, I didn’t do it to you. SO, I’ll take my leave and leave you to whine and blame and cry and bellyache, instead of going to college and working hard and keeping your yards up so we don’t have to see your trash. Tell you boys to pull their pants up and your girls to stop popping out little Negroes for others to support. Oh, and saying more whites are on welfare? Again, your concept of math is pathetically low. Have you no idea what percentages or per capita is? Whites are 30% of the welfare rates yet they are 70% of the population. Blacks are about 30% of the welfare rate and are only 12% of the population. SO statistically, per capita, more than twice as many blacks are on welfare as whites. But, I know math skills are not your strong point. Again, I love being white, I thank God for it every single day. If you call that narcissistic, then so be it. I am very proud of my white race and if that’s racist then I’ll wear that tag as if it’s a badge of HONOR. Only such an inferior people can be enslaved and held down by others.

in Africa,
many sunrises ago , in the early dawn of humanity, a fingernail of a moon disappeared and the refulgent sun burnt fiercely after the gentle rosy fingered dawn.
a special people lived in the red shifting sands of the kalahari. they had no leaders and no-one was given special importance.
these people were consummate hunters and used caterpillars and the larvae of insects as poison to hunt giraffe. their sense of hearing, sight and smell, unparalleled.
there were a set of twins who had perfected balanced ornamental pairs of ears. they did not listen to any-one. their eyes were bigger than their stomachs -they would insist on the lion’s share after a kill. they did not join in the celebrations of gratitude after a bountiful feast. when the people danced, they would be out of step, not in rhythm. the geckos, porcupines and frogs all would quiver upon their approach. they had bad busy fingers and would pull out the porcupine quills for fun.
at the watering-hole the two teenagers would gaze at their reflection, in love with themselves.
what the twins did next was so unspeakable, that the hairs of their mother slightly uncurled.
their mother was enraged: “I shall slap the black off both of you!” and she did!
her palm prints imprinted on their buttocks, flattening them somewhat.
she slapped the black off them! at the bank of the watering hole, stood a small horse with white fur. the black landed on the white horse. it now had black and white striped patterns. the shock changed the colour of the twins’ hair and eyes and made their hair stand straight on end.
the shock sent the zebra galloping
and the twins on the run to the northern climes.
did you know that zebras are just like snowflakes, each one is individual and has an individual pattern?

I believe it is a lot simpler than stated. Every world power favored their own race while subjugating anyone else. The Egyptians, Assyrians, Romans and each of the other world rulers did just the same. The major difference between the white ruling powers now and other world powers is the previous ones were primarily homogeneous.,
Now there are multiple races who may be citizens of the USA for example. As a result, the government tries to establish a system of inclusion. However the USA started primarily white and incorporated slavery then tried to level the playing field after years of an institution that incorporates hatred and racism. Even whites who immigrated but we’re not English blue blood were shunned, so began racist organizations like The Know Nothings who hated Germans, Irish, Scottish etc.
The fact sadly is this: Any race that becomes a ruling entity will favor its own. If blacks ruled the world, then art, history, music, politics, standards of beauty etc would all elevate blacks and degrade anything else. Even if the world were compromised of only one race, ways would exist to establish who and what is the most desireable. It’s problem that due to the nature of men, will only continue.

“I think it may have to do with living in a society that enforces white greatness.”
Yes, I think so. But, I think it’s not just about race though. Alongside the “White is right” messaging is this other dynamic. I see it all throughout White society. This constant need to bury anything displeasing and exaggerate anything that inflates their sense of self worth. It’s why every marriage is perfect until the divorce is announced. Every kid plays travel sports (and is the star of the team). Kids get the messaging from birth that valued = special. To be special or exceptional means you have to be better than others (real or imagined). At the same time, people are constantly looking for acknowledgement and recognition (kids and adults) which clearly speaks their internal lack of self worth. When it all converges, racism seems the inevitable outcome.
I think your point is spot on though. Because if you remove the White greatness messaging, you lose a critical ingredient for racism. Whites would no longer hate, demonize, fear and look down on blacks. People would just go on being narcissists or whatever and belittle or hate on everyone equally to inflate their sense of self worth. I honestly think that’s the point a lot of the colorblind crowd might be at now. They just wind up contributing to systemic racism unintentionally because their privilege allows them to succeed instead of POC …and success in spite of others is critical to their sense of self worth. But, those are not the Whites the post is referring to so that’s for another discussion perhaps.

Thank you so very much for appreciating my ‘origins’ story. I would tell you that I was rather disappointued that nobody seemed to comment on it or perhaps understand it.

Yes, there are many onion rings in that ‘parable’.
You have taken me somewhat out my my lurker status- still feel bruised by a horrible comment left by a racist. I have also been battling aphonia and writer’s block.
In reciprocation, I have enjoyed reading your comments and insights , recently the exchange between you and Fan… .
As to the San, I find I cannot adequately talk about it without feeling overwhelming sadness. I am still battling to read about the Dutch /Afrikaner genocide of my ancestors. I would be very careful, though of reading white historians interpretation of the ‘Bantu expansion’ . This is used in service to their sick ideology to downplay their grand theft of African land, genocide, slavery and apartheid.
To tie in to the post, lest it becomes off-topic , for all the forests felled, written about Africans and Africans in diaspora, strangely, not one in the ‘not all’ camp of super non racists have adequately theorized or explained the reasons why white people hate other earthlings. If they did, then they would not be so at a loss at understanding their so-called pychopaths. To my mind, a white person is only deemed a psychopath when they harm other white people. Psychopathy seems normalized and internalized within their psyche, that there is absolutely nothing wrong at all hurting in all manner, a person that does not have a white skin.
After having confronted and argued with many white South Africans, I have come to the conclusion that they (ALL!) think that Black suffering is a very good thing. They cannot live on this planet without stealing and hurting people. Original kleptomaniac sadists.
Notice how insane they become when Black people stand up for themselves and love their people. Think Steve Biko, Robert Sobukwe, Sandra Bland, Patrice Lamumba , Malcolm X, Dr Frances Cress Welding…..

That one had me stumped for years, too.
One day, I was reading a psychology book and the author stated that people hate those they have harmed. The more they harm you, the more they hate you.
Seems counterintuitive, doesn’t it? The author of the book went on to explain that when someone harms another person, their actions are at odds with their self image as a good, decent and moral person. To reconcile their actions with their self image, they have to label the person or persons they harm as bad people deserving mistreatment aka “the devil made me do it” defense.
This process becomes habit, institutionalized and part of an oppressor group tradition…then it can go on for generations. Africans in the Diaspora, the indigenous people of South Africa, the Roma of Europe, the Dalits of India and yes, the San people in Botswana all become the hated “other”, not because of anything they do or did, but because of the harm they endure at the hands of others.
Human psychology with all of it rationalizations and self-deception can be frightening and enlightening. It seems people who lecture others about “personal responsibility” need a strong dose of their own medicine.

Ejecting the colonial oppressors was a grueling and dirty business. The people of Southern Africa still bear the scars of those times. I am thinking of Namibian newspaper accounts of the years of fighting and pain…widows…orphans…amputees…the disappeared.
I am also aware of the deep disappointment of the people who expected better living conditions, opportunities and leadership after liberation. Revolutions promise so much, but afterward there is a return to daily life; kids, laundry, in-law’s who annoy you, house payments and taxes.

white is beautiful lovely kind holy. nothing cracked (what until we see a black person?lol) in your dreams, you need it for an identity but we don’t and THATS what drives you all nuts so separation will be LOVELY for us:)
peace of mind .
I had it before I saw and heard what a black person thinks
I feel no guilt except for the shame I feel that your mother cant for having you.
I don’t feel bad for truth.
breeding has always been your “power” quality has not been the power.
simply showing up and saying look we are here see our black faces , as an angst to others has been your glee. you like it you enjoy saying we are here and we know you don’t like it
monkeys do that too
they screech and hurl terds at other beings lol like theyre glad their whole purpose was ONLY to annoy.
whites tolerate it quietly because we cannot relate to that feeling.we knew only love and giving love.
if it doesn’t come back to us what we gave.. we see monkeys.
its always been that way.
its really no big deal
no real emotion anymore about it.,
now its only a science freak show that we watch. that’s why blacks atarted writing all these articles..they wonder why their “supply” got cut off.
they always knew they couldn’t get supply from each other
that’s what blacks taught us the MOST.
that theyre not ok on their own,.
and are chimping out across the nation. we just let it pass
and quietly think to ourselves “never again”
righteously spiritually “aborted” from us
and that’s when you all started aborting each other in record numbers
so stop lying that you like being black.
and then always doing the opposite
we see that as a disease.

MANY have that demon…. you can sense it.. I can see an upright black person from a mile away but most have that stupor look… like a demon raped them so many times they gave in to it and started to like it
and ive even had black people TELL me that… so many are now agreeing they are possessed..its no surprise.. Africa has NO BOOK no one God religion ever known in history (name one in an African language) if there is one no one has ever heard of it

I think its tribal thinking.
they feel all included in the success of other blacks
its a sad sad struggle of nothingness
if I like a black actor why would I like the hood negress with aids and 5 kids who is a sodomy prostitute too?
that makes no sense at all
the actor broke out of his culture
he is considered a success or one who “rose above” his lame ass people
even they look up to him
whites only see it as a toy to pick up and put down when done
blacks only need to worry about themselves not what whites think cuz we are free
free to think what we want and change at anytime
they shouldn’t DEPEND on that
we may have only wanted them to behave and they failed that royally
they know they have no identity in Africa or here
they know the spirit they have inherited that animaites their bodies is a demon
the negress or black woman knows her greatest ENEMY is the black man
for his being immoral
yet her womb still pops them out
and anything that comes from her womb inherits the same feeling she has and he has
so they all hate each other
I would too if that came from me
id try to feel separate from my own womb and say its being used as a portal for demons from hell
if that was me and my life that’s how id feel
but many of them like it
that’s why they cant be seen as human

Whites riot over sports. They pay anything for a black player. The current white anger is because blacks are being unapologetic black. Because they LOVE themselves enough to now stop caring what you think.

You’re amazing for getting through that individual’s posts (if you were able to). I just scanned and bailed once I saw it was all nonsense.
This whole “looking down on black people” is kind of funny because it is evident that removal of melanin does not improve the skin (skin cancer risks increase), the eyes (risk of vision problems increase), or the brain (neuro-melanin depletion is associated with Parkinson’s disease, for example, and black people also have the lowest rate).
Despite the claims that lack of skin pigmentation is an adaptation for vitamin D production under the lower sunlight typical in Northern lattitudes, black people actually have higher blood levels of an active form of Vitamin D and better calcium absorption, resulting in stronger bones and lower osteoporosis risk.
Here is a link to a study at the National Center for Biotechnology comparing black and white girls’ vitamin D levels and calcium retention: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2579645/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Results: Black girls had lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], higher serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and higher calcium absorption and retention than White girls. Calcium intake and race, but not serum 25(OH)D, predicted net calcium absorption and retention with Black girls absorbing calcium more efficiently at low calcium intakes than White girls.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is the active form of the vitamin that aids the uptake of calcium. 25-hydroxyvitamin D [or 25(OH)D] is a precursor that is converted in the kidneys to the active form. In that study they determined that even though black girls have lower levels of the precursor, they have more of the active form. That study concluded that calcium intake and race correlated with the amount of calcium absorption and retention NOT the 25(OH)D levels. However, the common test for Vitamin D levels actually tests the amount of the precursor, not the active form, which will tend to make black people seem vitamin D deficient.
This is actually the subject of serious scientific research. Another study:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2777641/
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
African Americans, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and osteoporosis: a paradox
African Americans have lower serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations and a lower risk of fragility fractures than do other populations. I review the evidence on factors other than vitamin D that might explain this paradox and the calcium economy in different life stages. Researchers are actively trying to explain this genetically programmed advantage. Factors that could protect African Americans against fracture include their higher peak bone mass, increased obesity rates [me: lol], greater muscle mass, lower bone turnover rates, and advantageous femur geometry. In addition, bone histomorphometry in young adults shows longer periods of bone formation.
[…]
African American girls accrue more calcium than do white girls during adolescence as the result of increased calcium absorption and superior renal [me: kidney] calcium conservation. In adulthood, higher parathyroid hormone concentrations do not result in increased bone loss in African Americans because of their skeletal resistance to parathyroid hormone, and their superior renal conservation of calcium persists.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
To me, this slaughters the notion that pale skin developed as an evolutionary advantage in order to increase vitamin D production, calcium absorption, and therefore bone health under low sunlight. Black people, as a group, do not have racially-correlated chronic bone density problems even when living in colder climates. Quite the contrary, actually. African-Americans even absorb calcium more efficiently when calcium intake is low. It’s a paradox, as they say.
So why would white people insist that the African human is an inferior being and build cultural rituals around his/her suppression? I’ll leave the reader to postulate. I’ll just say:
Don’t hate, appreciate.

Science keeps shrinking “white superiority” with each passing decade. The pale skin they so treasure and which is at the very center of “whiteness” is a genetic mutation which TAKES AWAY abilities of the skin that most normal humans (with melanin) have naturally. Skin with less melanin is inferior to skin with melanin. Cold hard fact. Science connected the deficient melanin in the skin with the blonde hair and the blue eyes. EVERY human’s iris is blue, but when it is normally pigmented it will appear perhaps green at it’s least concentrated state. Blue is a lack of pigment in the iris, and people with blue eyes have inferior eyesight to those who do not. And one huge kicker –
Black people are MORE EVOLVED than every other human because we have been evolving much much longer. Only black people have a pure version in the deepest Congo. No other group of humans can claim purity because they all come from the Original Man. ONLY black people are the root of Humanity, nobody else is. Every single genetic trait available can be found in black African people because we are the source of those traits. But the traits unique to black people are not found in any other people. Only listening to the white lies will you start losing touch with the truth.
Remember these things –
White people have no moral authority. They can never be considered moral or innocent or trustworthy. Their history tells you everything you need to know, and this applies to even those who say they have done nothing.
Never go to a white person to learn how to dance, how to cook, how to create music, how to be strong, honest or trustworthy. They cannot teach you things they do not know themselves. They cannot connect to Nature because they are mutants and they did not evolve their whiteness.
Somebody who identifies with a race is racist. I am Human, not black. Do not call me African American or black. I am Human. If Human children were playing together, they would ask why some of the shildren get burned playing in the sun and why they cannot see as clearly, hear as clearly or tap their fingers to a beat. Even if everyone is hearing the same music, white people cannot process the patterns easily. Non-white children can do this before they can speak.
Call me whatever you want, but I am correct.
I ignore the white man until I need for him to unlock a gate, open a door or fetch information. I want nothing else from him. I think we can coexist, but he makes that increasingly difficult as well. He is a violent, warlike creature who DOES NOT KNOW PEACE. White people do not know peace and cooperation. Their history proves this over and over and over. They divide and conquer.

So. Very. True.
That is one reason drive by White Supremacists come to sites like this to vent. Their own rich White cousins are ready to kick them to the curb.
Wealthy Whites are disinvesting in jobs, education, healthcare and housing for their poor White cousins. The pace of White disinvestment is slower than Black disinvestment, but it is still happening.
Moderate and low income Whites are hanging on by their fingernails. In a generation, many of their children will be scraping for a living or illegally emigrating to wealthier countries looking for work—if they are lucky.
The unlucky ones will join that vast river of slaves that are trafficked all over the globe for sex and menial labor. Not a pleasant thought.
What the “poor low iq neuterables’ of the the world” don’t seem to realize is that them and their children would have a much better life if they would join forces with Black, Latino, Asian, Arab and Native people. Working together, we could remake this country into something that serves all of the people instead of just a few at the top.
Everyone in this country could benefit from:
➣high quality public education, including tuition-free university
➣universal healthcare/low cost prescription drugs and devices
➣plentiful, high standard housing with low or no interest loans
➣universal low cost high speed internet service in urban and rural areas
➣rebuilt roads, bridges and high speed rail systems
➣rebuilt water systems
➣expanded Social Security

Listen, all we know is that racism is derived from fear, the sense of superiority, and pure hatred that’s being taught from those who still hate blacks. But let’s be honest here, we can all sit here and talk about why, but what is that really going to change? No matter how many civil rights acts came and gone, no matter if us blacks decided to come together to make things better for everyone, there are some whites that will still hate our guts. Hatred towards blacks is just illogical thinking that was and is currently being taught to young whites by their racist parents. We are not the type to tell them what or what not they can teach those children though as it’s those children’s choices as to whether or not to go along with those and blacks are not the type to interfere with the lives of others. Despite this, I can literally say that in this modern era, not all whites are in the wrong as there are even inter-racial couples and families all over America, proving that many whites have hearts for blacks.
So where does the racism lie? The only problem of racism lies in those families teaching their children that whites are a higher power, blacks fear of white organizations such as the KKK, who are inferior to even whites nowadays, and how the government handle racist situations. Only the racist whites believe that they are superior even after equal rights came into play, but like I said before, there’s nothing blacks can do to change anything. Blacks live in fear as racist whites have the power to even legally kill them off as if they were animals even when we are all humans, causing us not to be involved in things that can ensure our success. Most people can’t sit still imagining the KKK hunting you down because you’re a rich black man that is also influential in America, a land that wouldn’t have been the way it is today without the blacks.
Why do blacks commit the crimes that causes fear within’ whites even to this day?
That’s simple. The government is the only thing ensuring that the African American race remains nothing more than unequal minority. We are sometimes unfairly accused of crimes we didn’t commit by public police (even black driving cars can be an excuse for a cop to pull him over and if no one’s looking, that black is as good as arrested and thrown in jail as the cop can easily make accusations and who’s there to believe the black? no one at all). Then the chain reaction happens. Due to the high rate of blacks being thrown in jail because of their hatred for the unfair justice system, there is massive fear placed into those white job owners that were taught as children that they were superior to any and all blacks, causing even innocent blacks to have difficult times finding decent jobs. Blacks struggle to survive in this country for that very reason and if they have a family, they will do anything to ensure that family is sheltered and clothed. This causes black to commit crimes to make money that they can’t get because the system makes it harder for them to get jobs. Those blacks are either killed or put in jail and it always makes the news, which causes more fear of blacks to spread, limiting even more blacks from getting jobs and repeats the entire process. Not matter how many whites side with us blacks, no matter how many arguments we all explain to anyone in this country, racism will always exist until there is no other race left for the racist ones to go against, but each other as the same race.
How can we stop racism?
By getting rid of race pity months like black history, which teaches the white and black youth that racism even existed. Black think that celebrating black history month is a good thing? It just reminds them of the tough times their ancestors went through, making it harder for them to forgive whites, even the ones that want things to be different. In my all-black school, I understood how difficult it was for some of our few white teachers to explain the concept of black history when young blacks are simply a white canvas ready to be painted any color. And when young blacks find out about the hardships their people had to go through before, the canvas can be painted black, but not as a color of race, but a color that is a negative to white, creating negativity towards whites. Another way is for whites to finally accept and be more open to blacks. Watching my old white friends move away because their parents didn’t want to live near black, literally crushed me. Where did blacks go wrong? Nowhere. That’s simply the narcissism causing my friends’ parent to think that being near blacks would be a bad thing and for absolutely no reason at all.

I am an 18 year old black and I believe that whites and black have the capacity to get along if the government allowed so. I have no reason to hate whites for the past I didn’t live, but racism is something I can’t accept as a part of the race that helped make this country as fun to live in as it is today. You say this else where, all you’ hear is “send him back to Africa” (Where I didn’t come from as I was born in America -.-” so how can I be sent “back”?) and “he’s black. his opinion doesn’t count here” (When I am just as or even more logical that the person that said that). Black are under estimated and considered a threat when we mean absolutely no harm to anyone. We do what we must to survive (speaking for the blacks trying their best not to be on the sides of the streets in this harsh world) Hopefully you all Understand where I’m coming from. It’s not the fault of most blacks and whites, it’s the fault of those foolish beings living in the past.

Writer, Caleb Gee, offers valuable insight in this piece:
“The hatred that white people have historically and in fact continue to have for Black Americans is very much rooted in the latter’s resistance to slavery. Hatred for Black people was not the cause of slavery, at least not initially.
The extreme antipathy is a result of the resistance to being enslaved on the part of Africans. The constant rebellion and acts of mutiny that comes with the territory of trying to enslave and oppress an entire race of people puts a deep fear into the hearts of the oppressor, and fear more often than not morphs into hatred.
Living in constant fear and dread over when the next potential rebellion or insurrection was going to break out caused the white population to become even more vicious, brutal and oppressive in their tactics. In other words, had Black people (or the Indigenous) simply submitted to slavery and subordination (which no self-respecting people will ever do), the vicious amount of hatred whites developed for Black people would likely not have been as intense. Whites would have been content and happy were Africans to accept a status of inferiority, had they simply resigned to being enslaved, and in later eras segregated and ‘Jim Crowed’.
But Black people did not and never will accept that, and thus the doctrine of white supremacy is still prevalent among the white population. This is not to say that racism only manifests itself in forms of antipathy. There’s also the false belief on the part of all too many whites that white people are in fact superior to non-white people. This belief emerged from the very act of enslavement itself, not the reaction to it on the part of the enslaved.
After all, in order to consciously set out to enslave and degrade another human being (or class of human beings), one must convince himself that the one he is subjugating is his inferior in order to justify such cruelty.

Thanks for sharing that excerpt from Caleb Gee.
It brought to mind an article on Wikipedia that intersects with Gee’s observation. In an article about the Nanban Trade (the Portuguese trade in slaves from China, Korea and Japan in the late 1500s), the anonymous writer asserts:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanban_trade
That passage caused me more than one LOL moment since I read it.
First, if the Asian slaves were so “highly regarded”, why did the rapacious Portuguese ban the trade in Asian people just decades later?
Second, if the Asian slaves were so much more “intelligent and industrious”
why didn’t the Portuguese shift their criminal kidnapping and labor theft from Africa to Asia? Wouldn’t they want more high value Asian slaves, not fewer?
I think the writer of this article (likely a White male or group of White males; since they dominate writing and editing at Wikipedia) couldn’t help but interpret history through the lens on modern White Supremacy. According to White Supremacists, Asians are more highly regarded than Africans because Asians are more “intelligent and industrious” than Africans.
Unasked are why would any slave of any background submit and work hard for no pay and no human respect. Why wouldn’t a free and dignified people resist bondage and barbarism?
So many attempts at manipulation—–so little truth.

White Amerikans could have ceased their racism/white superiority after slavery ended. Instead the opposite happened. Racism (violent oppression) increased!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_by_Another_Name, Black Codes, Sharecropping, Jim Crow, Lynchings, Sun-Down Towns, Riots and other mistreatments occurred. We know that racial mistreatment/oppression are still happening.
Since the construction of race, poor and working class whites act against their own interests by siding with the white elite that are taking the people to the cleaners instead of standing in solidarity with Blacks and other non-white people. It’s like white people are under some sort of spell that causes them to value their whiteness above all things – even their own financial interests. Its no wonder why some refer to whiteness as a DEMONIC religion that has nothing good in it whatsoever.

Whites are only 10% of the world’s population, yet are the most industrious, ingenious, and innovative race the world has known. Whites have formed nations, built civilizations, assumed and administrated power, created the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, the Industrial Revolution, automation, technology, the space program which landed men on the moon and launched probes exploring beyond the solar system, discovered electricity, created wonder drugs and architecture and have harnessed nuclear power, have unlocked the secrets of DNA and relativity, created computer science and the internet age. . .. . . sub-Saharan Africans still cannot even feed themselves.
No pre-contact sub-Saharan African society ever created a written language, or weaved cloth, or forged steel, invented the wheel or plow, or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or any social organization, or formal religion. or system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure or bridge or sewer, or infrastructure of any kind, and they never harnessed a river, or even drilled well or irrigated, or built a road or railway or sea-worthy vessel, they never domesticated animals, or exploited underground natural resources, or produced anything that could be considered a mechanical device.
Blacks are the only race incapable of caring for themselves. Whites still have to provide food, medical, financial and engineering aid to Africans. They couldn’t survive without White charity. Blacks became an out-of-control invasive species after Whites domesticated them.

Written languages with unique alphabets have existed in countries like in Ethiopia for the last 2000 years and they are still being used for verbal and written communication. There are tons of books written in these language. You have no idea about these facts does not mean they don’t exist. So many facts about Africa will remain hidden to you to keep you safe and let you bath in your false glory. Africans did not invent the things you have mentioned simply because they did not need them for life. They have always invented things they need and have done so for thousands and thousands of years. Nobody claimed glory or patent because the invention belonged to the people. Textile, pottery, leather products, you name it was and is still there
Unlike your medicines you are bragging about ours cured not treat a person for life or make him/her dependent.
You seem to suggest that we, Africans sprang to life only after you “invented” us but that is dead wrong. I doubt that you would understand this with your upbringing.
African history will remain closed for you forever because you are not yet ready for the truth. Yes, we have been destitute, hungry and “backward” but are coming back.

Oh! One more thing. Africa had and still has its own written calendar. I will again refer you to the Ethiopian calendar, written in Amharic or Geez (purely African languages with African alphabets) which has been there for thousands of years and is still being used in that country. It is the original calendar, seven or eight years behind the European calendar. If you are ready to get some wisdom for a change google it, but I warn you the new knowledge will blow your petty mind. It is not our fault that they have excluded African history from your curriculum and fed you with the crap that every civilization had started with the Greeks, the white man.
That is not true. Look at the untouched and un-manipulated Egyptian mummies closely and carefully. They are all BLACKS. I repeat they are all BLACKS. Your archeologists (all of them whites for I have never seen a black man crawling in there) have convinced you that the Egyptian Pharaohs have nothing to do with a black man). That is a lie but you will never notice. You will also never notice that Africa and blacks are power houses. Look at the face of the basketball player swinging on the basket, look at the power in his face or the marathon runner or Usain Bolt after crossing the line. There is a frightening energy in these people. They are sending you a message. That is us and we are telling you that we are on our way coming, waking from our sleeps.
But you will never notice that some African countries are showing a double digit growth in their economies as you have not yet noticed that some Asian countries will surpass your economy in a few years.
You are busy playing with your toys, the rockets, the drones and fighting jets. By the way look at what you have made of your achievements. You have made huge tanks out of the car invention, killer jets out of your plane invention, sneaky submarines out of transportation boats, all made for destruction not to speak about what you have made of this beautiful planet – a garbage can.
You say that you have landed on the moon. Excuse me sir that was in the sixties. I have not seen you colonizing the moon or being there since then, though your technologies are far superior than they were 50 years ago. So I often wonder if you have ever been there so I am entitled to my doubts as you are entitled to yours when it comes to my history and civilization.

Thank you for this post! I have always on some level known this even when I was younger. Now in my fifties, I know for sure that what you say is so true. White ppl as a collective need to deal with the narcissism that allows them to believe that that are the better group of humans. They will never deal with the guilt of tyranny toward Native Americans or Blacks because it is too overwhelming and they will project, lie, and falsify in order to maintain their way of life. (I actually had a white older male tell me that it was manifest destiny that whites come from Europe to colonize the Americas even if it mean displacing Native Americans. He then went on to disparage them for being lazy alcoholics who needed government assistance. Mind you, it was their land to start with and European whites put them in their current positions!) I digress…Blacks on the other hand, have wholesale purchased the lie that they are inferior, stupid, less deserving, etc. We also as a collective need to deal with our low self esteem. We are all human and on the same playing field folks. No one is better. Our racial features are just that, features. They are no more superior or inferior than the other. This is the human condition. When humans have not learned to truly love themselves and others, they suffer from a deficit in the soul. To fill the void, they will lie, steal, murder, and disparage another all in the name of feeling better about themselves and to feel more powerful. God help us all and most of all don’t believe the lies.
