Discussing racism with non-black minorities

[Kerkum]

From my experience, when it comes to racism and white supremacy other groups tend to be schizophrenic on the issue. I do have individual friendships with Asians, East Indians, Latinos etc. but when they have a battery in their back and all of a sudden wanna “talk about the white man” it goes in one ear and out the other. Particularly because they never call out anti-black racism in their own communities...so because a white person (that you’re usually deferential to) looked at you funny we’re supposed have this camaraderie that never existed before. Also, black folks, we have to let these other groups know that our relationship with white people in this country is very different then there’s. A lot of these people are immigrants or just got here mid 20th century. We been here fighting since way before they got here so we can talk that shyt about the white man. Whatever unfortunate experiences they have with whites needs to be discussed amongst each other and not with black Americans because it’s a totally different experience. Don’t let them run that “we’re all minorities” game on you. Just had one of my Latino coworkers trying to bait me into taking about how bad white people are and how he was “pulled over” or some shyt. Was like “yeah, sorry to here that...”

It's like talking to a fukking wall if they aren't already "woke". Fundamental shyt like slavery is a goddamn chore to get through. I had this Peruvian/Native American try to say both sides are guilty because blacks sold blacks into slavery.

Wouldn't even bother. I am not a fan of oppression Olympics, and it seems like talking to other groups at length will eventually lead to that.

I don't put my issues above others, so while my people getting shot like dogs in the street, I don't feel the need to argue that American meddling has fukked their

countries up or something. However, THEY might feel like arguing theirs is more important, or completely lack empathy for my point of view, so I won't even bother.

U already lost having nonblack friends. Another l for even entertaining their race discussion. Not saying don't be courteous to other races, but i always hold them at an arms length

IMO it's a waste of time trying to explain these things to non-Blacks

I'm so tired of this uneducated narrative and having to consistently address this with people

It’s not even about arguing with anyone. Just setting boundaries and letting them know our struggle is not your struggle

Don't ever do it

I find that alot non-black minorities like to point the finger at white folks when it comes to anti-black racism, but refuse to acknowledge the anti-black racism in their own communities and homelands.

I know Indians that will rant all day about white racists, but they get offended when I bring up the racism African students face at the hands of their own people.

Major fukking violation in the Game on your part OP

Never talk to whites or anyone else besides other blacks about your experience as a negro in this country. Liberal or not....stop trying to prove to them you know your history, your background, the laws, the tragedies we have suffered to gain any kind of connection with them or even to debate them.

Cut that shyt out man. It will save your energy in the long run.

Seriously.

Do yourself a favour and don't do it

I never explain anything to anyone, did you read my post? One ear, out the other. I pretend to listen or care when they cry about “racism” but I never chime in or engage w/ my own perspective

Op doesn’t talk to others about race with the browns. He used a conversational eject button deflection when the Latino tried to initiate
