iāll never understand the people who see pocās as racist individuals when they face the MOST systemic racism from systems white people have made. i fear its a lot harder to be a considered a racist individual against a majority group of people like people in this comment section are suggesting š
Why is the word such a trigger for you that would you assault someone when black people have normalized it since the 90s? Itās immoral and illegal to assault people especially over a word that again has been normalized intentionally for decades in order to ātake the power of the word awayā
As a black man itās not about saying the word, itās the fact that youāre clearly using it as hateful energy. If I called you or your mom a bi*ch cracker whore you would get mad pretty quickly because the hate behind it. Its a way for you to feel more superior and feel like youāre getting a reaction because ur compensating
Unfortunately that word will always hold power, the amount of power it holds depends on the individual person. But we really should be asking ourselves why itās become so normalized to say it. Youāre getting upset over someoneās reaction to being called a slur when youāre not even the slightest bit upset that someone is saying a slur to begin with. Your double standard is showing and itās disgusting.
its a minority vs a majority⦠lets take a moment and put on our thinking caps. systemic racism exists because white people still refuse to let people of color into positions of power to be able to change the systems that silence and control them. lets also take into consideration the ACTUAL definition of what racism entails: the belief, action, or systemic practice that one racial or ethnic group is superior to another, resulting in discrimination, oppression, and unequal treatment of others.
You want me to explain to you why somebody would want to hate another group of people? Are you saying that poc are incapable of being racist to other ethnicities? People are people and can be evil regardless of race. Choosing to see one race as inherently more racist is somewhat racist itself. Sorry if that is over your head.
āas inherently more racistā as if that group of people didnt enslave another race of people for decades & isnt actively killing and deporting people based off the color of their skin. i truly wish i could be as ignorant as to forget the atrocities my ancestors committed & turn a blind eye to whats currently happening in our country. but maybe thats too far over your head
You are that ignorant though youāre forgetting what your cousins are doing right now and what your ancestors did. You think black people didnāt enslave black people in America? They did and thousands of the did. Thousands of native Americans enslaved black people too. Neither group had ever atoned for their participation in US slavery. Not to mention the massacres both groups did in the 1800s and are currently doing in the US. This is excluding the mass murder happening across SA, Africa n Asia
i never said that slavery wasnt a sign of that time period nor that it was ok but what i am saying in regards to the initial post is that the MAJORITY which was and still is white people are way more racist to the MINORITY which in reality is any person of color. are we unable to read and comprehend context?? š
Lemme settle this. White people are historically more racist than Black people. Black people can still be racist, but in TODAYS world it is significantly less common. The difference is that White people are typically RAISED to be racist whereas Black people LEARN to be racist due to experiencing systemic racism and wanting to claim back some sort of āpowerā. Regardless, can we all just agree that racism is bad and none of us should participate in making it worse than it already is.
