Is it possible for white people to ever understand racism?

[ThaRealness]

simply put (emphasis on simply) most white people are aware of how destructive and evil racism is, its just not in their interests to fight against it. Why hurt yourself to help another, especially in a country whose foundation is selfishness and "individualism"? For further reference, note how many black males promote bigotry against women and gays...

Americans are only concerned with helping one another in the private sphere.. not the public.

Saying white people cant understand racism because there are white racists?

You sound like an uneducated piece of shyt, OP. fukk you

you sound retarded

I am saying they cant understand racism because they do not experience it, what they know about it is only the tip of the iceberg and when you finally convince them that one aspect of racism exists, they brush it under the rug and claim victory, they tell you that by bringing it up you are the racist, they tell you to just deal with it and stop complaining etc.

There have been groups of white people throughout history who have been subject to similar treatment and "disenfranchisement" as other minorities.
Is it the same exact thing as the black experience? No.

But that doesn't mean that they can't understand what oppression and brutality look and feel like.

The Jews went through it for much of the 1st half of the last century.
The Armenians experienced it a century ago.

Some of you could use a history lesson.
You act like the only people to have ever experienced any hardships live on your block.

there are people who have been fighting for shyt for like 1000 years. The whole "lets talk about who has had it worse" only works in North America. Read about some other peoples who have been a tight group for thousands of years, had their own vast empires hundreds of years ago lost them, were enslaved but still maintained their identity throughout hundreds of years and raised armies again and again.

They'll know what it feels like in 2100, shame I won't be around to see their tears.

Change in demographic doesn't matter. They will still control majority of the resources. The people who control majority of the resources are the ones that have power.

No. You think the dog chasing the squirrel will EVER understand that squirrel and the plight it puts that squirrel under by "merely" chasing it?

Of course not. The dog is inherently a DOG.
