Black White Supremacist

quote:

Is there anyone who thinks that Barkley’s statements about race reveal anything other than his repeated willingness to throw black people under the bus for our stupid unwillingness to assimilate into whiteness?


What Barkley said:
quote:

What we as black people need to do, we need to worry about getting our education. We need to stop killing each other. We need to try to find a way to have more economic opportunity and things like that. Those things are important and significant.


How the article interprets it:

quote:

You’ve heard white-people solutions before. “White-people solutions” are the Caucasian answers to all black problems: “White people circulate their dollar 120,333 times in the white community before it leaves their neighborhood.” “White people start reading to their kids when they are still a sperm.” “White people invest their money in stocks, pork futures and private prisons.” To be clear, these aren’t solutions for or by white people. Instead, they are the imaginings of black people who are white supremacists. Black white supremacists believe that the only correct way to do things is how they envision the white man would do it. A black white supremacist could never find anything wrong with a white man’s methodology, so he or she continually contorts him- or herself to end up on the Caucasian side of the argument.


Being white, I just can't grasp this.

Can't leave the vote plantation. Education, economic opportunity, stable homes = bad. Violence, failing schools, 78% single parent homes = good.

There are three questions for which black America has never received a satisfactory answer:

Why is the word “swole” never mentioned in the list of great black inventions?

Did we ever get a satisfactory answer to who in the hell left the gate open (and, perchance, was it the same person who let the dogs out)?

Why won’t Charles Barkley shut the frick up?

It's funny because it's mostly white people who come up with shite like "white-people solutions"?

That's the most racist thing I've ever read in my life.

How dare he!

Don't over think it. The person who wrote that is simply exhibiting racism in its purest form.
Whether stated by a white person or a black person that is real racism.

There is no such thing as black ways to do things or white ways to do things. There are just ways. Some of them are better than others. Only racists try to break everything up into black and white.

I can't grasp why anyone would have a problem with any of this. Hell, you can even still hate whitey and scream about racism but still focus on these things at the same time.

Just like there is no such thing as reverse-racism, only racism

Maybe "white people solutions" work? They seem to be fairly similar to "Asian people solutions". And "contributing members of society regardless of race solutions"

So far, the solutions of those who ride the Gravy Train seem to be, take hard earned dollars from the people who use "white people solutions", (also known as basic responsibility), throw them into the money pit of corrupt, pandering politicians who line their cronies' pockets, destroy their own neighborhoods and breed prolifically and irresponsibly while being subsidized by a government system designed to keep them slaves to the democratic plantation.



Thanks Great Society!

Well one group is better off than the other in most significant metrics so why is this even an issue?

He said that in the context of why ripping down statues is stupid, so that's why they're bitching about him

Fine then. Do it the "Asian way". Just for the love of God stop doing what y'all have been doing because it's obviously not working.

These people who are blasting Barkley need to realize they don't speak for all black people. And that just because you are black you have to think a certain way. I am sure there are a lot of black people who completely agree with Barkley says, but they are not on TV or online trying to seek attention.

And I would never consider Barkley an "uncle tom" type black dude. He is outspoken and at times who have been outspoken about race issues in which he has taken the side that the black people who are now blasting him, would have agreed with.

Say what you want about Barkley, but he doesn't sugarcoat anything and he doesn't care about being PC and in this situation it he absolutely right. Who gives a frick about statues? Why is this all of a sudden becoming an issue? If anyone is so concerned about helping the black community, they would not be putting all of their time & energy into statues. How can anyone even argue with that?

This was right after Barkley retired but I remember watching something on him and he was talking about how he use to be the type who thought he had it bad just because he was black, etc until he went visit Africa with.. I think Manute Bol. He said that trip completely opened up his eyes to the world. He went on to say that any black person who thinks they have it bad in America.. They wouldn't survive a week living in the village he visited.

And if these people think that "all black people" should think a certain way.. Isn't that reverse uncle tomism? Those black people probably have no idea that Africans, in general, do not think highly of black Americans. I remember having an African econ professor. One the first exam of the year, the average grade was evidently lower than what he expected or some shite. Dude came to class mad and said that Americans were lazy "especially black Americans". He went on to say that he hears black Americans talking about how bad they have it here and they should go back to Africa. He told them "they wouldn't want you there because where I come from you have to work every day just to be able to eat".

This was late 90s, but I still remember everyone in the class had a look on their face like "damn! Is this dude doesn't care. He is telling it like it is". Anyway, this shite is starting to piss me off.

It's getting to the point that trying to wrap my mind around the logic of this stuff is like trying to wrap my mind around string theory and time dilation.

It's not being white. It's being American. Korean Americans don't curse other Korean Americans for speaking English clearly. If caring about education, family, and fiscal responsibility is wrong in the black community's eyes because those things are "white", they are doomed as a culture.
