Just own it

[WillJ8787]

I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.

If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area which I can afford and in which I would want to live.

I can be pretty sure that my neighbours in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me.

I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.

I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.

When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilisation,” I am shown that people of my colour made it what it is.

I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.

If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege.

I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the staple foods that fit with my cultural traditions, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can cut my hair.

Whether I use checks, credit cards or cash, I can count on my skin colour not to work against the appearance of financial reliability.

I can arrange to protect my children most of the time from people who might not like them.

I can swear, or dress in second-hand clothes, or not answer letters, without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty, or the illiteracy of my race.

I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.

I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.

I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.

I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of colour who constitute the world’s majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.

I can criticise our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behaviour without being seen as a cultural outsider.

I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk to “the person in charge,” I will be facing a person of my race.

If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race.

I can easily buy posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children’s magazines featuring people of my race.

You can self segregate whenever you want.

Asians been doing it since day 1.

I get all those things too......just like every other POC.

So?

What has that got to do with anything???


I know a nail salon owner....she makes DAMN good money.

She's not disadvantaged, she's killing it. White people throw money at her all day every day. She lives in a nice house, drives an M6.

Just like millions of other minorities, many refugees of "progressive" politics/economics, like my family.

Kinda curious considering white people are all so INHERENTLY racist and evil from birth and the USA is so racist in every way and is the most horrible place on the planet to be a POC.

 

[AlotLikePsyche]

Pass.

The whole world disagrees with you. Literally *everyone* else in the entire world (except you) is finally listening to People of Color and seeing whiteness and white supremacy for what they are.

It takes some next level arrogance to believe you are right, and the entire rest of the world is wrong.

If the events of the last month can’t convince you, nothing can.

It's not even remotely close to everyone else...that is beyond delusional.

I am a person of color, the only people who refuse to listen to me are progressive leftist...imagine that!!

Convince me of what? That there are no black barbies?? LOL your meme suggesting such a thing is a demonstrable lie.

Convince me the USA is super racist and a horrible place to be a POC??

I'm living proof the USA is an AWESOME place to be a POC.

Most snow white hills people choose to die on are actually majestic mountains., not white privilege mole hills.

How about a little context Mr. POC.

Are you more of an outlier or closer to the mean?

How well are you actually doing???

Did you inherit wealth???

Where did you grow up???

How many generations has your family been in America???

Are you Native American???

Are you an ancestor of southern slavery???

What is your actual race???

Speaking for the entire demographic of POC and declaring in general terms, " the USA is an AWESOME place to be a POC " is pretty fucking arrogant considering all available evidence and research suggests just the opposite is true.

I'm happy that you as a POC are happy with your life in America. Obviously others do not share your happiness or your point of view.

No.

Military brat, west coast/southern USA.

How many generations has your family been in America???

I am the first.

Are you Native American???

Are you an ancestor of southern slavery???

No, are they treated differently somehow??

What is your actual race???

Caucasoid-mongoloid

Speaking for the entire demographic of POC and declaring in general terms, " the USA is an AWESOME place to be a POC " is pretty fucking arrogant considering all available evidence and research suggests just the opposite is true.

No, the Leftist narrative says the opposite is true.

All the evidence and research suggest it's one of the very best places on the planet to be a POC.

Can you name a better nation to be a POC???

All the ones you might suggest? Are all western, and considerably more white than the USA.

I'm happy that you as a POC are happy with your life in America. Obviously others do not share your happiness or your point of view.

They need to get out more, they don't appreciate how fucking amazing 1st world living in a western liberal democracy is.

If Asians being over-represented in entrepreneurial nail salon ownership is evidence of. . .

Explain their over-representation in science, technology, engineering, and medicine. . .

So a first generation American with one white parent and one Asian parent, I'm guessing a white military father and an Asian mother seeing as how you were a military brat, (correct me if I'm wrong), is telling the ancestors of American slavery how good they have it........

Gotcha.

As a white person I'm not going to tell a black person to be grateful or ungrateful for being an American, I will simply acknowledge their legitimate grievances as I see them, and advocate for them to be seriously listened to, and included in, a process that addresses those grievances.

You do you though.

When you look into a mirror can you see anyone else?
The worse thing are people like you thinking everyone else is the same way, you are alone, it is only you in your head and no one else is like you. That is truth.
Pleas quit including everyone else in your way of thinking.
sissy knows different than you and is not included in your shutoff thoughts.

Korean war refugee (the progressives murdered most my family) father, white 1st gen American mother.

Yup, Korean orphan raised in 50-70's TEXAS back when white privilege was a REAL thing....went to school, became an engineer/USAF officer.

Amazing considering the USA, according to the "progressive" narrative, is so horrifyingly racist no such thing could EVER happen.

is telling the ancestors of American slavery how good they have it........

Gotcha.

It's a fact that they do.

Can you tell me where else it's better to be a POC???

Race first...always with you identitarian types.

IDGAF about the skin color, as a patriotic American armed with FACTS I have no problem telling other American citizens they should be grateful for being citizens of the 1st world.

What legitimate grievances???

So far the only specific grievances pointed to are all matters of inequity.

We don't do equity here in the USA.

And police brutality, that's legit, but we can't discuss that, because it's racist if you so acknowledge any police brutality other than white cop on black citizen brutality.

Because police brutality doe NOT matter when it doesn't fit the race baiting narrative.

So, after all that bloviating you're still not black, right???

So who raised you??? Were you raised in a white or a black household??? Progressives killed your family??? We don't do equity in America??? Do we do equality??? We can't discuss police brutality??? Can we discuss people getting pulled over for driving black??? Can we discuss people being asked for ID for walking in a wealthy neighborhood while being black??? What grievances??? Are you fucking serious??? Did your high school let you graduate without taking American history???

I get that you had a shit life and you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself, just try to wrap your head around the concept that you are a sociopath and may not be the best person to adjudicate issues that require empathy.

Your probably really good at killing and torturing things, but healing is probably not your forte.

No, what's that got to do with anything?

So who raised you??? Were you raised in a white or a black household???

My parents, neither.

I know this is hard for racist to understand, but you do understand not everything is black and white right??

Progressives killed your family???

Yup, tortured and murdered in front of my father when he was a kid. For the sake of more economic equity, because that's progress!!

We don't do equity in America???

No. We don't, this is not a communist shit hole.

Do we do equality???

Very much so, this is what pisses you lefties off so much.

We can't discuss police brutality???

Nope...all lives matter is racist!!!

Can we discuss people getting pulled over for driving black???

Can we discuss people getting pulled over for driving brown, red, yellow and white???

Can we discuss people being asked for ID for walking in a wealthy neighborhood while being black???

Can we discuss people being asked for ID for walking wherever while being brown, red, yellow and white??


Your whole narrative of only black people being subject to policing is a verifiable LIE.

What grievances??? Are you fucking serious??? Did your high school let you graduate without taking American history???

Yes.

No I'm a big fan of American history.

WHAT grievances??

I get that you had a shit life and you don't give a fuck about anyone but yourself, just try to wrap your head around the concept that you are a sociopath and may not be the best person to adjudicate issues that require empathy.

Ad hom isn't an argument. It actually just makes it look like you can't defend your positions on their merit.

Nope. I am the only person I see in the mirror; and I am the only person inside my head. (Thank God.)

Speaking of truth, this is the truth.

If you are not moved to action by the Black Lives Matter movement, if you are not moved by the grief, anger and fear of Black Americans to (at least) listen, and read, and learn, and assess, and reflect... on whiteness, and privilege and bias... then you are truly, truly alone in that. The rest of the nation (and world) is seeing, and realizing, and changing with or without you. There is evidence of it everywhere.

Have you seen the NYT BestSeller list lately? All books on whiteness and race, and almost all Black writers.
