For Those of You Who Say "I Like My Racism Out in the Open"...

[8WON6]

I would want to be in a place where I have all the degrees and certs and regardless of how racist the CEO at Wells Fargo is, he still has to employ black people.
He still has to pay for their healthcare
He still has to be responsible for them establishing generational wealth
He still has to shake their hand and smile at them regardless of how much it burns his soul

And if he stops hiring black people outright, an investigation might be launched against him.
(Btw my brother and his wife both used to work for Wells Fargo and both left due to racism, so its funny that you used that as example)

I have no doubt the CEO of my company is a racist, I have no evidence but I know because this is America.
I would rather him pay me our agreed upon wages me than call me a negro and refuse to pay me.

If he becomes openly racist, it will not be a shock to me. However I would hope it would be a shock to the company's stock social standing.

Stuff is going to happen both overtly and covertly. Again, no offense, but this sounds like a bunch of "i want nice racism" talk. I'd rather know who i'm dealing with. I don't want be in a position where i have all the qualifications for something and keep getting rejected for racist covert reasons (in whatever sense) and thinking it's me. That shyt is mental warfare.

Its sounds alot like people know racism exists but they want to pretend it doesn't because the reality of seeing how massive white supremacy is can be crippling to some people.

You might be being disingenuous. When people say that they like their racism "out in the open", they don't mean that they want to be harmed or want violence inflicted upon them. What it means is that they would rather a person that dislikes them be open and up front about it. That way, you can be avoided or dealt with accordingly. Display that hate so that we know what's up from the get go.

If I know that you hate me, I can avoid the food that you prepare, I can avoid speaking with you, being around you, etc.. As opposed to you secretly hating me, and then spitting in my food, sabotaging me behind my back, etc.. I'd rather see the snake that may bite me, as opposed to the snake being hidden.

This is common sense.

To your first part, i'm literally replying to things people have said to me here and in real life. If you want to know if someone is being disingenuous, I would have to ask them. But they are 100% saying that they prefer that to the alternative.

As to your second point. My preference is that they are forced to hate you secretly, as openly hating you would ruin them.
Because if you think your boss, or your banker, or teacher, etc doesn't hate you, they do.

Does it benefit you to get fired today? Maybe to fail your class? maybe to get your loan denied?
Does it serve as a reminder?

You've made some excellent points, and I know you to be a pretty intelligent breh. I'll respond when I get some time later this afternoon.

No offense taken at all.

I dont see this as "nice racism." I already know who i'm dealing with, i've had a near death experience due to racism and i've never been the same since it. I may be using some hyperbole there, but I honestly thought I would die

Rather, I want open racism to be such a punitive and costly action for cacs to engage in, that they just dont.
That's my preference

Thats sad If it takes open racism to get on code.

It is but nikkas get too comfortable otherwise, if you gave alot of nikkas a non black wife, a home in the suburbs and a good to decent job, they would start feeling like they're on top on the world and they would say that racism is an excuse

They’ve been killing Black people for years and years. Now they’re just doing it on Camera so at least it’s getting documented.
It was just as many extra judicial police murders in the 80s and 90s as it is today. There just wasn’t an Internet or cell phone was on everyone’s hips

This is a fine opportunity for Black people to take note of who hates them and what to do about it.

Never said the statement but seen it on here, open racism reminds us what we’re fighting against as opposed to it being done behind the scenes and keeping the masses unaware

Both are dangerous, but one is on display and causes more of a reaction to address/counter it

i'm from the north which has just as many racists as the south but they keep it on the dl. i've been pretty happy with the proliferation of shyt like blue lives matter/confederate flags because it lets me know which businesses not to patronize. if they weren't in the open about it i might end up enriching one of these racists which would be a worse outcome than them flying some flag imo.

I don't know if it's what everyone is talking about, but here in TLR there were fools who were literally saying they support Trump over Bernie Sanders (and later Biden) because, "I like my racism out in the open".

If you fukking SUPPORT the open racist, then all the shyt y'all saying bout "know who to fight against" goes out the window.

I think another thing they are forgetting is that Overt racism doesn't stop covert racism. you don't get to choose between one or the other.

 

[Pazzy]

I'm laughing at all you folks that think racism left. Its always been there. Why ar you shocked?

OP like the same folks acting oblivious and reacting basically wont do shyt but the same song and dance. That's the problem.

 

[GPBear]

That statement is the epitome of smart-dumbness that permeates tlr

That, and "no tangibles, no vote "

The benefit is simple, it raises awareness

You have any other white boys you smoke with now in 2020? Or was he the last one you needed to know that they all like this?
This isn't me trying to put you down btw. We all been there.

Open racism is what opens your eyes the first few times. But once they are open... if you close them again that's kinda on you right?

Ive had friends of every ethnicity and religion since i was a kid so it wasnt surprising in the least

I got a muslim homeboy from jordan we were in class one day, he said something slick about black ppl playing basketball and we had a radiator that would make a ticking noise when it turned on. Like a min later it turned on and i turned to my boy and said "aye (my boys name) you bought a fukkin bomb in here??" and had the whole class rolling even the teacher was dying.

We still boys a decade later, our roasting/racism was always in the open which is why i always looked at that "im woke now!" shyt sideways

Hey for those of you I like my racism out in the open ass Negroes...

You better be ready to fight and kill these Cac motherfukers if they do bring their racism out into the open into and decide they want to hurt you and your family. I'm not even bullshyting when I say that I'm ready to hurt and kill these motherfukers. I actually fantasize about beating the s*** out of a trump supporter. I'm sending a Neo-Nazi to their grave. fukk the dumb shyt.

I prefer not to have roaches at all. And to get rid of roaches you have to identify them. Now they're is an argument that you cant get rid of roaches, but I'll save that for another day
