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

she look like's little sister

 

[...and some waffle fries]

Cant remember the thread but a dude on here said that talking/educating white people on racism is like trying to wake somebody up who pretending to be sleep.

Coldest analogy.

You right. It is on some 3rd world shyt. My dad went from seeing his peers go out like this :

When Igbos were under genocide in Nigeria not too long ago to coming to America and living like this:

And now seeing his son doing much better than him while still carrying on tradition. So I can't blame him for being emotional now as an old man. The fact that you claim to be black but try to use 3rd world as an insult shows the job your dad did raising his son.

Your dad is probably on some Jesse Lee Peterson shyt and wishes you were a cac so he can feel like he achieved something of value.

Pop all that shyt

Derailment
"What about black on black crime?"
Answer: Are black lives not worth protecting?

Minimization
"I dont think they meant it that way when they said it"
Answer: remind them of intention vs impact.

Reduction
"It's not like black people are the only ones dying"
Answer: No, they aren't, but black people are disproportionately dying in this country and all over the world. Can we at least talk about that.

Tokenism
"My boyfriend is black"
Answer: remind them that having a black boyfriend doesn't mean that you are not racist and in fact the idea that you wouldn't be racist because you have a black boyfriend is in fact.

Hurt
"I feel really unsafe having this conversation right now"
Answer: Are you feeling unsafe or are you feeling uncomfortable?

Yes, Black lives are worth protecting, so why aren't we putting all of our efforts into stopping black on black genocide?

Yes. Black people are dying disproportionatly, namely because we think it makes us real to murder and harm each other.

If I feel uncomfortable, more than likely I feel unsafe. That's just me.

I don't see it. most of what yall call systematic racism erases all accountabilty for black people as if he are all just puppets with no free will.

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

I don't want to see it.

 

[Suleiman Bey]

So instead of having a discussion, you do what you claim white people do to nikkas. Got it.

Actually I should be thanking you because you just helped me realize that the others in here are right. You can't have these discussions with certain people. Especially people who dont even want to acknowledge systematic racism. So I thank you and hope your nikka wake up call isn't too traumatic.

Exactly! You are closed minded and can't have an intelligent converstaion with someone who doesn't share your opinion. You are the same as the "whites" you hate.

 

[JLova]

If you're black you shouldn't be speaking about race to any white, asian, arab, hispanic ( really any non black perople in general) to begin with.

yep. Non-starter
