5 roadblocks people use to shut down difficult conversations about race.

Where you from?

Those things listed occur in conversations in general. Doesn’t have to be about race. People can use those ideas against you while having a conversation about making money...

I'ma keep it real. I ain't read that shyt. Business I do is based on value I bring and I'm in demand. So there ain't that much to argue about on my end.

If they actually want to understand then I see no problem with it overall. But just going up to a random non black coworker and talking about race and getting upset when they deflect or don't care is nonsense.

Yup. I have to catch myself at times. I've often wasted so much time explaining race issues and talking about it to some non black coworkers(mostly this south american hispanic) and while he seems to listen and agree, I often feel like it's a waste of time.

I dont even have conversations about race to white people...they want you believe they are idiots and they dont have a clue what's going on when they are fully aware and just dont give a fukk....honestly its insulting to me

You think people are born racist? Or is it taught?

Nobody taught a serial killer how to be a serial killer
Nobody taught a child molester how to be a child molester
Nobody taught a rapist how to be a rapist

Racist are no different.

I disagree certain life experiences/cycles of dysfunction and trauma can lead to people being the things you named.

R'kelly for example

I think that cacs have convinced themselves that the lie is reality. I had a conversation with a cac at work some years back, and dude swore white males have it the worst. I asked if he wanted to trade places. You can already guess what his answer was.

Solid thread.

Pointless arguing race with cacs.

I'm not fully awake yet and eating breakfast at my desk rn, after that I need to work on something. But I'll read through and give my opinion in a few.
Good thread.

Thank you. Now I'm ready to more effectively argue online instead of get money.

They simply don’t give a fukk. Our problem is we keep trying to tell a group something they already know.
