Young people and The Myth of the Oppressed Groups

[renard_ruse]

When I was a young, 80s and 90s, most people my age didn't believe The Myth of the Oppressed Groups (the idea that certain groups, mainly traditional majority groups) somehow victimize other groups (mainly traditional minority groups).

In fact, it was pretty much agreed that the opposite is true, that the liberal establishment favors the groups its claims are victimized and is truly to get rid of groups that its claims are victimizers. Sort of the ultimate Orwellian distortion. My group of friends was made up of many "diverse" backgrounds, not just whites but Hispanics, half Hispanics, Middle Eastern Americans, Indian (India) Americans, a Sikh kid who was a heavy metal fan and wore a turban along with Iron Maiden t-shirts, etc. Nobody that I know of accepted the Myth of The Oppressed Groups.

For some reason, this seems to have gradually changed over the years, and young people today seem to blindly accept the Myth of The Oppressed Groups narrative, even though we are obviously farther away from the civil rights era in time and cultural realities in 2016 than we were in 1986. They believe the lies, no matter how far fetched, their teachers and the media tells them, rather than rebelling against it like we did.

How do we get them to see reality again, not lies spewed by their teachers, the media, the entertainment industry, and the rest of the establishment?

I take back a little bit what I said about "nobody" in my day accepting the narrative of the Myth of the Oppressed Groups. There were a small number of loud mouth youth who did spout the Big Lie off. I would get into arguments with them in the park or at parties or in class, sure, but they were few in number.

In particular, there was one kid who was my arch enemy around the neighborhood, who was half Italian, half black Puerto Rican, who was a Myth advocate and super liberal jack ass. Obama has always reminded me of this ass hole.

Then there were a couple of annoying girls I would always end up getting into it with in class at school when these discussions came up.

And of course, some intolerant liberals would threaten to beat us up for our views but we'd usually kick their ass instead.

Generally though, this was not representative of most youth.

If the police assassinate any more unarmed black men in the streets you are going to see some reality.

They don't even have to be unarmed or innocent. Just black.

But innocent/unarmed anyone not black? Eh...fuck em' nobody gives a shit.

In fact if you do give a shit you're just a racist hater.

And the reality you will see is guys like Rory N running out into a mob of rioting black thugs and going "Hey I support Black lives matter, I'm on your side! I'm guilty of my own color, bro!" and getting the shit beat out of them while the rest rape his wife.

Interesting thing during the Pat's Texan's game. Of course we have to see the NFL players who were kneeling, you know in protest of the way blacks are oppressed in this country.

Then later on they were talking about Chris Long who founded and organization that funds the digging of wells in parts of the world that have a shortage of clean water. Showed a picture of several black children around one of the wells.

That, you fucking millennial cry babies is oppression and poverty. Send any of those families to this 'racist' country and see what they think of it.

I have ten grandchildren, two are Hafricans, one identifies white, and the other is a loud proud militant black woman. So I sat her down with the facts. She wants to be a black civil rights lawyer crusader. I gave her the facts for when she runs for political office. Her ancestor William Cotton brought the first black slave to Virginia in 1619. Eight of her ancestors fought in the Confederate army. And several of her ancestors owned 100s of slaves. One of them made 20 children with two slave women. Our people were filthy rich. And opponents will learn these facts when my militant granddaughter sets fire to the White House. She's a Rebel Without a Cause.

I became a racist shitstain as an adult after some blacks stole almost all I owned. A black friend knew the thieves and refused to identify them BECAUSE THEYRE BRUTHAS. And that was it for me. I raised my kids to respect and be fair to all, and one married a black guy, but I'm over black anything.

I'm Scottish. Clan is everything to Scots. Blacks aren't a race, theyre a clan I detest, just like the fucking Campbells. Us Grants detest Campbells. I wont even eat their fucking beans.

You poor, poor, poor victimised little soldier you.

It's kind of sad that you think that you are the rebellious when you are propagating the phony establishment line.

Phony Black Myth

The phony black myth is that White people put them in slavery. They were sold or traded into slavery by their own kind, other black tribesmen who had taken them prisoner and made them slaves. They were originally sold or traded to Spanish merchants who traded up and down the African Western coastline.

Another big black myth is the use of the label "African American." The only true "African American" is a person who was born in Africa, immigrated to th US, and became a naturalized citizen. A true "African American does not have to be black, but can be White, Olive-skinned. They can be from South Africa, Algeria, or Egypt for a few places.

Do you give a shit? If so, what do you do about it?

And the reality you will see is guys like Rory N running out into a mob of rioting black thugs and going "Hey I support Black lives matter, I'm on your side! I'm guilty of my own color, bro!" and getting the shit beat out of them while the rest rape his wife.

That is probably my least favorite ascription. You belief that someone is a traitor to their race if they simply are calling out an injustice that is happening to a group of people because of their skin color.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Do you give a shit? If so, what do you do about it?

Not really.

Nothing, it's not my problem.

Cool! Now tell us the second part of slave history.
