Common Says Racism Can End If Blacks Extend “A Hand In Love” To Whites

[George's Dilemma]

I saw the interview where this is from, Daily show I believe. Ya'll are exaggerating this mans words for clicks. Nothing he said was c00nish. He's definitely being twisted out of context for views.

This aint the Higher Learning section of the forum breh, so stop posting reasonable thoughts on this thread. You're fukkin it up for the perpetually victimized, pseudo Black intellectuals, and Coli Militants around here. Other than Grand Theft Auto, this forum is the closest thing we have to resemble the true Black experience.

You're a dumb smart nikka. Systematic racism helps whites because they choose to keep their race in power while discriminating against other due to a sense of superiority. you're in here blaming democracy like it's the problem, but act like racism doesn't play any part. If a black candidate and a white candidate are applying for a job, and a board of whites get to vote on who gets the position, who gets the job 10/10? If it came down to a democratic vote, they'd vote for the most qualified person, if it came down to a vote to keep a certain race in power, then it's pretty obvious who they're voting for.

I didn't say racism didn't play a part. I'm saying racism isn't what allows them to do it.

The problem isn't democracy within itself. It's the abuse of democracy and the laws that allow discrimination, prejudice, and racism to exist. Democracy isn't based on the most qualified. It's based on the opinion of the majority. As long as a race is a majority, then it has voting power which means the system can be manipulated to it's benefit. It helps the majority remain the majority.

But how did that poverty occur? It didn't just happen out of nowhere.

What people always fail to admit is that Black people have been systematically prevented from acquiring wealth anywhere. That's why I say after slavery shyt got more fukked up.

You don't think the average Black person wasn't trying to rebuild his/her life? When Black people got free, they were ecstatic at owning land and making something of themselves. Then comes Jim Crow, Ku Klux, raids on businesses and a host of pure fukkery. Then after 'integration', Black people still don't have access to jobs. and affirmative action does more to employ White women than any other minority.

Poverty is systematic. It doesn't just show up. And poverty is THE most potent part of racism (after that, it's law enforcement). You take poverty away, racism collapses overnight.

well…thats partially true.
150yrs ago the overwhelming majority of black people were illiterate…so yes…we had some catching up to do.
but…
that still doesn't help anyone today.
Anyone w/ the right mindset, skills, and drive can make it in this country now.
We are spending way too much time talking about the past…and not now.

So what does constantly talking about the past do? Black folks have been doing that for 50+ yrs…what the kids talk about today, is the same shyt I was talking about as a kid, etc…
at some point we need to be telling the youth what is needed to make it…because constantly talking about "white supremacy" gives off the idea that there is no hope for them.

Common spewing platitudes and shallow meaningless nonsense these days, I see.

I understand where you're coming from, but segregation wasn't as distant as you're making it seem, the college I'm going to now my grandmother would have 0 chance of getting into, and because of the place she was put into due to this my parents weren't able to seek the same level of education I'm able to now.

Yes the blatant and clear acts of racism like de jure segregation are gone, but things like de facto segregation still put us at a disadvantage when it comes to seeking the same opportunities that whites seek. Because of how far behind we've started in this country we have little to power to uplift our future generations. For example, when I applied to go here, I didn't have the same networks that many of white counter parts had that could use their power to get them ahead in life.

So yeah I get where you're coming from when we say we shouldn't depress future generations like myself and generations after me, but at the same time, I feel like we should still inform what we are going up against in order to better prepare and conquer it.

thank you for this article. Super informative, this was something I've been thinking about a lot today, people looking to entertainers for heroes.

But in a previous post, you asked how do whites benefit from racism and this is how these are the many systems they have in place in order to elevate their people while keeping us down.

But even if you want to take away the democracy, the main point is that white people have put themselves in a position where they hold most of keys and are in front of most of the doors, making it harder for us to succeed.

He is light skinned...do we expect anything less from a house nikka?

 

[Pop123]

this is just dumb.

it's like saying "domestic violence can end if women don't beat up their men anymore"

you can't put the onus on the one who's predominantly the victim, shyt sounds stupid.

The problem is that you're equating racism to beliefs and personal interactions. When people say white supremacy, they mean a system of government that is structurally designed to benefit the white majority.

Democracy gives them the power to do that though. Through democracy, they have the power to elect who they want, which allows them to elect people at each level of the government. Those people are now in place to pass legislation, decide whether its constitutional (they aren't elected, but are appointed by elected officials), and execute laws that further oppress minorities. An example is having legislation like Stand Your Ground pass. Yeah, a decision not to hire a Black person that's more qualified for a job may be based on racism, but what gives them the power to not hire that person.

Obama's the president, but what's the make-up of Congress? What's the make-up of our local legislators? What do the judges look like? More important than the racial make-up is whose interests are they really protecting. Beyond just getting a minority vote and politicking for the minority vote, are minorities really represented. These people at each level of government are making decisions at every level of society: education, economics, healthcare, etc.
