#TeachingRacism (2015) is a Twitter hashtag where people tweet examples of how racism is taught. Unlike in the picture above, racism almost never wears a white hood:

It’s telling when the truth is so clearly spelled out yet many still willfully resist it!

“The continued existence of capitalism is #prolongingracism.”
Capitalism isn’t prolonging anything except itself, a dying financial system.
The broken corrupt hearts of people who think they are WHITE – pure – blameless – chaste – innocent – normal – undefiled – omniscience – above others – etc are the ones prolonging white privilege, and prolonging racism white supremacy coupled with their imagined superiority – intelligence, exactly like you do.

When the justice system and the state, says black people are committing a crime by physically disciplining our children and press charges against us for child abuse. Then do nothing when a white racist cop by the name of “Ben Fields” physically attacks and brutalizes a 16 year old black girl in front of a whole class of black children for the whole world to see, that is TEACHING RACISM!
Then the whole act is excused because…Ben fields was dating and have sex with a Negro bed wench! That is teaching racism!

but here’s the flip side that the media doesn’t like to talk about:
while the police are busy putting young black/brown men in jail for minor drug offenses,
white American adults are giving me “job security” by using, constantly overdosing, and killing themselves with major drugs and alcohol
(while the drug companies and south American/Asian farmers & drug providers get richer)
More White People Die From Suicide and Substance Abuse: Why?
Why would the death rate for middle-aged non-Hispanic whites be increasing after decades of decline while rates for middle-aged blacks and Hispanics continue to fall?
The major causes of the excess deaths are suicides, drug abuse and alcoholism. (For once, obesity is not on the list as a major player.) But while deaths from these causes have increased among middle-aged whites, they actually decreased for blacks and Hispanics.
The dismal picture for middle-aged whites makes Dr. Deaton and Dr. Case wonder how much of what they are seeing might be attributed to the explosive increase in prescription narcotics.
“A black person has to be in a lot more pain to get a prescription,” Dr. Case said. “That was thought to be horrible, but now it turns out to maybe have a silver lining.”
and of course, they are blaming the increase of white American drug usage on the Economy…smh

It doesn’t bother me. It’s .005 percent of the African-American population. Such murders are rarely random and have declined a lot in the past couple of decades. So for anyone to bring up black-on-black murder in a discussion about police racism and brutality is basically saying the .005% criminals are representative of the 99.995% of African Americans.

Linda says,
you’re point is well stated. It also bothers me when white people feel the NEED to bring up black-and-black crime to dismiss racism in America but
the fact that some of these crimes are not random, is what bothers me–that’s why I said they are doing the devils work – – the more it seems like it’s dysfunctional, the more the devil is smiling and the more he can fill up the prison with black men on bogus charges.
I don’t support black men killing each other or black women over bullsh’t …because there is nothing important enough going on for it to be OK to take someone’s life.
That was my point about the fact that white people are the biggest drug addicts in America and they are self-exterminating themselves with the help of big pharmacy
but the devil/media would rather talk about black gangs in Chicago killing people on the weekends; rather than show just how many white meth-heads and substance abusers are committing crimes and dropping dead on the regular

With whites, drug and alcohol addictions are ‘sicknesses’ and vary from person to person, for Black people it is criminalized. Money talks though, so that will be another factor in decriminalizing drugs…too many whites may end up in jail as well as dead.

That and prescribed skin ointments (plus home remedies) was pretty much it. No gateway drugs there.

Another thing Blacks haven’t had a lot of access to is mental health care. All these white shooters went to shrinks and we’re prescribed psychotropic drugs. When the drug warnings say things like “may cause suicidal thoughts and violence” it makes me wonder what it is exactly they are suppose to be treating.
I’m in my mid 50’s and a lot of people I knew never dialed it back. My few trust fund friends died in their 50’s. Maybe it’s apathy or just the result of a dying empire. The ruling tribe becomes board with bread and circuses and over indulges.

Anyway, teaching racism, purposely or otherwise is just another form of white supremacy, not to mention it reeks of white pathology, the need to teach others that having white skin makes them “better” than everyone else. We see this everyday, especially in the media which is a powerful tool. I especially notice this in the more liberal news sites like Slate, Salon, Daily Beast, etc.
At the same time, they teach that someone else, especially black people, are worse. It’s especially evident in the media. When a black person, ordinary or famous gets in trouble, it’s big news. Not just news. BIG news.

You might include more subtle patriotic cases like the American Sniper. Here’s a guy that admitted in his biography book that he and a friend or brother drove out to the pre Katrina Disaster in New Orleans to shoot a bunch of supposed looters when the stores where shut down and these people needed supplies prior to everything being destroyed in the storm anyways. The movie made all efforts to cover up his brutal racist approach to life but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this guy was a ‘Monster’ Good Old Boy.
