Wtf should we care what the World thinks about us?
Look at the history of the other countries still around. All you see is war and what people call Racism. Racism is nothing but human nature. We cannot fundamentally change our core DNA that tells us to hate people different from ourselves.

This explained absolutely zero on what you would change, which is the typical response.

"What should we change?"

"We should change the way we think"

"How does that happen"

"You just don't understand because you have white privilege"

"Great thanks for the concrete ideas that was extremely productive."

When we quit separating ourselves as black or white is when it will end. As long as we have a dialogue that divides us into groups, racism will always exist.

As long as we have organizations that declare themselves as black or white, the world will be divided.

No no no, you must have missed his post on the last page where he very clearly explained why it's so hard for the community to change because they're in a "cycle that's been forged for generations."

They only need to demand the change. They can't be expected to enact the change because they're stuck in this vicious cycle that's all other people's faults.

A white family and black family of similar economic and social status have different norms dude. That's not controversial. Black people tend to have more of a relationship with extended family than white people. White people place different values on items such as cars. I'm not trying to tell you which is better, but they are different. Neither is wrong. Same for any other race. Hispanics place a higher value on the woman being in the home in a more traditional role. All are fine with me it's up to them to decide, but that doesn't make anything "racist" or "less equal"

Yes I'm serious. How are the failures of black parents my fricking fault? I will never accept any blame for something I didn't directly contribute into so you may as well give this shite up right now.

I might normally be inclined to answer that.

But then I remember you've already been given multiple answers to that question and responded to each one with with what amounts to little more than 'you can't understand because white privilege'

So instead, I'll decide to not feed the ignorant troll.

You can't just keep making excuses and calling people who are skeptical racist. Nothing you've said in this thread is of sound logic except for the fact that slavery does have a lasting effect. However, blacks have been afforded equal rights for almost 70 years now and the fact is they are more dependant on the government teet thsn ever. St some point you have to accept the failures as own

If you understood white privilege I doubt we would even be having this discussion.


But it is clear you don't. You keep asking for a solution but you truly do not care to improve yourself as a person. I mean look at you. You are sitting here getting upset over this discussion we are having. Calling me a troll because you dont agree with what im saying. A person like you will never unite people. Only divide. Stay in your little white bubble, buddy. Im sure you're happy there

What is the acceptable time frame to where this is cleared from society?

you realize there are still people alive that experienced segregation, right?


and i think ive only called one person a racist. Not everyone that is skeptical.

your white privilege allows you to see them as excuses. For other people, they are reality

Maybe we don't believe in white privilege cause some of us were brought up in poverty by a single mother. I was at all the disadvantages you claim white people not to be up against, except for bot being black. Even worse, no affirmative action for me. So you can understand how I'm a little taken aback when accused of having white privilege right?

ETA: This is my last comment to you. If you don't get it now you never will.

Again, there is nothing insulting about having white privilege. Why are you insulted?

It's quite clear you'd be hell bent on having this "discussion" no matter what you think people understood

It is? Based on what exactly?

What, specifically, do you think you know about me as a person?

This should be fun. I look forward to more groundbreaking answers to a direct question from you about having a discussion and empathy.

No. Calling you an ignorant troll because you are an ignorant troll. And as my first post in this thread indicated, it's not just in this thread.

You live to troll people on the internet. This is rich coming from you.

It's cute that you think you know something about me.
