It’s NOT racism. Liberals redefined racism so that it’s impossible to be racist against white people. It might be bigoted and racially motivated or discriminatory but it is absolutely not racism.
What’s scary is how they see nothing wrong with that.
I think this is the correct strategy moving forward. Non-whites don’t even flinch when you accuse them of racism. Leftists thrive on double standards, so they don’t care if you call them “the real racists”. We need to make white peoples understand that “racist” is a specifically anti-white slur. Whatever it may have meant in the past, it is now used exclusively to demonize and destroy healthy natural in-group biases among whites.
The older generations are too far gone. They will never accept this unpleasant reality. But current and future youth will have grown up in a world where the leftist redefinition of “racist” is the only one that applies to our observable reality.
I always think of this image when it comes to that. It's simply not a useful thing to worry about "racism" especially when it was not a relevant concept until about 1960.
So if racism is something only White people do and also something all Whites do all the time, then what do you suppose they mean when they call themselves "anti-racist"?
Around when did the “you can’t be racist against whites” or the oppressor nonsense come about? Did it start at colleges? Growing up I knew the standard definition of racism
I’ve tried looking into that but haven’t had much luck. It’s a “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia” kind of thing where it seems racism was ALWAYS the same as “institutional racism.” But I first encountered it around 2015 when I commented on Facebook that anti-white post was racist. Some dipshits (super liberal friends of a friend) educated me on its true meaning. Even then they insisted that it’s always had their definition. I was simply ignorant of what the word meant. Even though I stopped using Facebook in 2018, and keep in touch with that friend, I’m leery of him since I know the company he keeps.
Yea the first time I heard the “racism is power plus privilege” nonsense was around 2015. Makes no sense because if I’m a slave on a plantation and hate white people, the fact that I have zero authority doesn’t stop me from hating or being racist towards the group.
That was some of the most mental gymnastics and dishonesty I have ever heard of. The concept of racism is very simple and people just created imaginary dragons just so they could slay them and be the hero.
The concept of racism used to be neutral, but think back to all the times you saw that concept applied. It was really only ever used against white people. You’re just seeing it now because non-whites have wrested a ton of power from whites within their nations and cultures. Non-whites ruthlessly wield that power against whites, and accusations of racism do nothing to stop it. In practice, “racism” has always been an anti-white weapon.
I’ve seen a few examples where blacks were reprimanded for anti white racism but yes, generally speaking it was aimed towards whites. Growing up I just never really had to listen to lecturers about how bad white ppl were.
Academic writing in the 70s 80s is where it started. As the "prejudice plus power" and as Marxists always do, they took a common word with connotation. Said "were using this in a very specific denotation for academic purposes. We absolutely do NOT encourage the use of this definition all the time wink wink"
Its a common Marxist trick, see exploitation or feminism. Common in the social sciences since they tend to just reuse words for the concepts they make up as opposed to mathematics or physics were they'll make up a new word. It's motte and Bailey writ large.
John Doyle has a decent long-form video on the subject. If I could go back in time 95 years to deport all the Americans this susceptible to brainwashing, or complicit, regarding FDR and civil rights.
There was a time where I would’ve said shouldn’t these black students feel insulted to be babied and coddled like this. Sadly I’ve seen a vast majority are not insulted
They don’t feel that way because they believe they deserve the leg up. They believe that whites and Asians only succeed, and blacks only fail, on the back of raw discrimination. That’s the central tenet of Disparate Impact Theory.
A lot of people have left Maryland right? I remember my dad being mad when a lot of ppl from MD moved to Northern VA. VA used to be solid red and that flipped it
I hate everything about this. The irrational hatred of white people by these sort of black people is idiotic, self-defeating and worthless. I hope that we don’t end up living in a world where modern medicine was a thing of the past and seen by magic because the current people will have no idea how it works, but who fucking knows at this point.
What exactly does this have to do with martin luther king. Other than he was black a leader of civil rights.
Have you ever actually listened to a MLK speech?
In a sense, the greatest tragedy of this other America is what it does to little children. Little children in this other America are forced to grow up with clouds of inferiority forming every day in their little mental skies. As we look at this other America, we see it as an arena of blasted hopes and shattered dreams. Many people of various backgrounds live in this other America. Some are Mexican Americans, some are Puerto Ricans, some are Indians, some happen to be from other groups. Millions of them are Appalachian whites. But probably the largest group in this other America in proportion to its size in the population is the American Negro.
...
But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny.
And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.
...
Let me say as I've always said, and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only create more social problems than they will solve. That in a real sense it is impracticable for the Negro to even think of mounting a violent revolution in the United States. So I will continue to condemn riots, and continue to say to my brothers and sisters that this is not the way. And continue to affirm that there is another way.
With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discourse of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to speed up the day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and live together as brothers and sisters, all over this great nation.

“I’ve seen my dream shattered as I’ve walked the streets of Chicago and see Negroes, young men and women, with a sense of utter hopelessness because they can’t find any jobs. … I’ve seen my dream shattered as I’ve been through Appalachia, and I’ve seen my white brothers along with Negroes living in poverty. And I’m concerned about white poverty as much as I’m concerned about Negro poverty.”
....
Now the problem is not only unemployment. Do you know that most of the poor people in our country are working every day? And they are making wages so low that they cannot begin to function in the mainstream of the economic life of our nation. These are facts which must be seen, and it is criminal to have people working on a full-time basis and a full-time job getting part-time income.
As a white descendant, again of people like Asa Wing.
Shortly afterward, on March 8, 1854, Wing died of unknown causes. Frederick Douglass, a former slave and well-known abolitionist who was a close friend, delivered the eulogy at his funeral.
"He poured out his life for the perishing slave, pleading for him with an eloquence and earnestness which could scarcely have been more direct, pathetic and touching, had his own wife and children been on the auction block, " Douglass said at the time of Wing's death.
It makes me very upset and irritated when I see articles like this.
Some argue that, in fact, the U.S. was founded on these malignancies, and they currently insulate the country and the subjugation of the poor, the marginalized, the Black. But because many white Americans and conservatives view racism as an individual sin or moral failure of ethos, rather than a cancerous system that requires community and governmental reform, Dr. King’s writings and teachings on love and patience make for convenient fodder for warm-and-fuzzy quotes.
Which ultimately allows racists to feel better about being racist, some whites to feel more comfortable unapologetically wallowing in their racial privilege, and outwardly condemns any responses to experiences with racism that do not reflect patience and kindness
Ahh yes some poor uneducated broken redneck schmuck whos family has been living in the woods with the indians for hundreds of years could not possibly understand the intricacies of racism. What a hoot, really. This is why appalachians hate city slickers.
If martin luther king had preached hate and violence, they wouldnt have put a bullet in his brain.
this what DEI actually is, and it deserves to die

Exactly. Plus there is a major incentive to being an oppressed victim. To the point you see race hoaxes all other

More like they created imaginary dragons to justify labeling people like you and me as ontologically evil oppressors.
I think I first became aware of the power+privilege formulas was that "Dear White People" movie.
I was already fed up with race talk when that came out. I still had Netflix so I gave it a thumbs down without watching
The "progressive stack" was the tool used to destabilize the occupy wallstreet protests back in 2010. It was floating around academia prior to that.
The OWS was doing that all by themselves.
They were initially targeting banks, before being successfully distracted by being told to check their privilege.
Academic writing in the 70s 80s is where it started. As the "prejudice plus power" and as Marxists always do, they took a common word with connotation.

Thanks. No surprise it goes back further than I thought
I have re-defined murder to not include liberals. Thus when liberals get a bullet to the head it's "carbon emissions reduction" not murder.
Martin Lucifer Coon never cared for equality, it was always about nigger supremacy
John Doyle has a decent long-form video on the subject. If I could go back in time 95 years to deport all the Americans this susceptible to brainwashing, or complicit, regarding FDR and civil rights.
Where is UCL? This is insanity. I guess I’m racist for wanting the best possible doctors. Who cares if you have a non diverse medical staff!!!
University College London
There was a time where I would’ve said shouldn’t these black students feel insulted to be babied and coddled like this. Sadly I’ve seen a vast majority are not insulted

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Well I definitely hate the game lol
I hate all kinds of players.
Blacks do not think like Whites. They do not understand the concept of shame.
Always throws me for a loop remembering that British cities are majority nonwhite now.
My state is a minority majority state. I feel their pain
A lot of people have left Maryland right? I remember my dad being mad when a lot of ppl from MD moved to Northern VA. VA used to be solid red and that flipped it

Maybe this is exactly how ancient rome fell to the Barbarians
I think we're already on that track. The wealth and prosperity of the 20th century may as well be Atlantis at this point.
Jews have Jewed the medical profession so hard that there’s no easy money for them to make as doctors.
monkeys only please

Who cares what a philandering, drunken, communist sympathizer thought 60 years ago?
James Earl Ray had a dream too and his came true.
What about the non-whites who aren't capital B black?
That Rupert Lowe seems like a based dude
Which is why he got expelled of the reform party...
