Things I Hate

[hockeyflow33]

I won’t say that everyone experiences these problems. Hell, I’ve spoken to minorities who are huge Trump supporters and who see BLM as a hate group, but that isn’t to say that we should just dismiss those who do experience them by saying “the problem’s with your character, not your skin color,” and it becomes even more sketchy when you take something like the Philando Castile incident. Here we have a black dude with dreads sitting in his car with his girlfriend and daughter, complying with the police officer’s request for his license and registration and informing him of his conceal carry permit and the firearm present in the vehicle. Truth is, had Philando Castile been Phil Castle...

I don’t imagine he would’ve been shot to death in front of his 4-year old daughter, and, while I may not speak for everyone, to me, that’s a ****ing problem and it speaks to the state of denial that we’ve allowed ourselves to embrace in the 21st century when we can look at that and not see it as a problem.

No sorry, if any color reaches into their pocket after telling a cop they have a gun and not being directed to, the likelihood of being shot is extremely high.

It's not rocket science when you get pulled over, even unjustly. Hands on the steering wheel, turn the dash light on and every answer is yes sir, no sir. A traffic stop is not the place to fight a stop, that's what court is for.

There will always be an oppressor and an oppressed, but it doesnt necessarily have to do with just race. 90% of african american deaths happen at the hands of other african americans ( the same goes for latinos and whites) oppression comes in different forms, the haves and the have nots, some of the worst bullies are from your same race sometimes. Specially if the kid is half white, those kids get beat up a lot, ive seen it. They get bullied to high hell from other latino or african american kids. You want to talk about bullying and harassment, talk to a mixed person...

I believe it.

erm, yeah, what's your point?

I guess it’s just a little cringey to me to see you posting a video about all of the benefits imperialism has brought to underdeveloped, native peoples when your government was still strongarming tribes into signing over their land rights, like, 5 years ago.

Nah, I was just riffing off Hockey's post. Aborigines have been royally screwed over since Cook rocked up, no doubt about it. And there's no fixing it, the problems are too entrenched.

You ever notice how no one makes a peep when police brutality happens to other minorities? Specially latinos?
With today's immigration problem a lot of legal, spanish speaking people get harrased or hurt by cops, yet when the f-- do u ever EVER hear anyone saying anything about it?

does it allow you to oppress people at will with your mind?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

if the situation calls for it, then yes! anything is possible when youre ******!

 

[Dagashi Something]

all I’m saying is that it seems like white people have a tendency to overlook all the nasty **** our Caucasian, European brethren had to do to reach those heights you pointed to.

And that's where you could not be more wrong. The caucasians are the only group that feels guilty over things that happened hundreds of years ago. And the only group that is being attacked over the past. Tell a chinese about the great leap forward and they won't care. Ask an arab about why there's so little black people in their countries, when their slave trade was far bigger and they won't even know why, ask the libyas if they feel guilty about selling people for 800 dollars, which, unlike everything else this is something that is happening right now. In the present.

There are no noble savages, all cultures all over the world have done terrible things, and the ones who have done the worst are not being attacked, because they don't care about what others think.

I'm half white and half Aztec.

My ancestors killed and enslaved my other ancestors, I'm both a victim and an oppressor, I have white guilt and brown victim complex.

Tremble before me, I am the ultimate millennial.

You can both enjoy privilege and complain about it, oh and demand reparations, all at the same time.

 

[GasparZizou]

I'll pay reparations to myself.

In the form of toys.

 

[EVILFACE]

I mean, I’m not saying those attitudes are right, but, considering all the bull**** white people have been responsible for throughout history, there would be a bit of poetic justice to be found in such an occurrence, and I can understand why some people might feel that way.

Seems racist to hold people of a certain skin color accountable for what other people of similar skin color did in the past.

 

[Plastic Bateman]

It's okay to be White.

I think you raise valid points, but I think that the reason this is such an issue here in the states is due to the decidedly varied cultural make-up of the country and the many freedoms afforded its citizens. America very much is a melting pot, in spite of past transgressions, but we are only now reaching the point where that diversity is reflected in our governance, so, I think that, to be frank, we’re in the midst of an identity crisis because how does a country founded by white men, for white men, which has, historically, done so at a great cost to those who weren’t white men, proceed as those who were historically devoid of political power are given a voice? For me, it’s not so much a matter of guilt as it is of understanding. In consideration of all of the progress we have made, where do we go from here? Has enough been done, as it is, and, if not, then where does one draw the line?

In your outlining of the indifference of other nations to their historical transgressions, you define an understanding of why these conversations are taking place in America: because they can be.

 

[Dagashi Something]

There is one major mistake there, America is not a melting pot. That term was invented by Israel Zangwell, a russian-jew who didn't know much about America, and it was adopted as if it was the zeroth amendment. This is not real, just like the idea of the "proposition nation" is a 19th century concept created by immigrats to make themselves feel like they are part of the nation. But these terms, that the civic nationalists like to use, didn't even exist within a hundred years of independence.

One of the reasons that the US is crumbling, in decline, it's because it's no longer homogeneous. It has become like the Austro-Hungarian empire or Yugoslavia, it is now a multi-ethnic empire. And what is going to happen is what happened to every multi-ethnic empire before, which is that is either going to break up or collapse. All because this country is no longer one nation (if this is hard to believe remember that Catalonia has been part of Spain since before America even existed) Diversity is not our strength.

Diversity + Proximity = War

That's difficult to understand for people who confuse the definitions of nation and state. The nation is a people who share a lot of things but most of all, genetics. A state is a political entity and nothing more. When different groups of people are living in one state **** happens. Always. I guess most people will learn that the hard way.

 

[RIDDICK]

It's okay to be White.

It's okay to be anything.

I'm Russian.
We had clans, wars, serfdom, genocide, etc.
That's no different from any other country.
That's human history.

Blaming other nations or other races for your issues is stupid.
Blaming yourself for bein' part of a historically violent nation or race is even stupider.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Could you guys turn the volume up on the sarcasm a little bit oh, I can't hear enough of it.

You'd die too after hearin' that SONY will produce a movie about you directed by Tarantino.

The melting pot concept took hold because it was a concise expression of the American ideal, which was not dependent upon any kind of dim**** collectivist homogeneity. The only the thing worse than the Millennial mind is the reactionary mind that doesn't know a goddamned thing about what they're defending.
