Non-racist white people...come in here

[Thoughts]

Broad question. Racist white people were taught to hate from their parents. It's like a never ending cycle. But if they were raised by none racist people they would have a better chance to not be racist.

Please don't have hate in your heart.

So if a white person isn't racist would you still hate him?

I remember watching an Immortal Technique interview recently and how he explained how racism was taught to people. He said in olden times, people that were slaves were slaves cause they had lost some war, that's why they were slaves. But then in America in slavery times they wanted to show black people as subhuman to justify slavery and racism. And that's where racist mentalities stem from.

Do you reject the American label and American privilege every chance you get?

I think you should stick to the topic or explain the relevance of your questioning. My suggestion was a great idea. Do you disagree?

 

[definition]

Do you ever feel embarrassed/ashamed by your ancestors cruelty or behavior?
Or for what your people have done to cultures in society?
I'm not saying you have to feel anyway I'm just curious.

Probably won't read this whole thread. But, yes, I am ashamed at what my white ancestors have done in the past ... and I'm often embarrassed by what my white peers do every day.

I'm also fully willing to admit that I've undoubtedly benefitted from being white on a number of levels (directly and indirectly), and this bothers me sometimes as well.

But, I also know there's very little I can do about it. If I get passed up for a job or an opportunity in order to help level the playing field, I'm ok with that. If my kids have to work a little harder to succeed in order for more people to have the same chance, that's something I can live with and explain as well.

Of course, having had certain advantages, I understand that my stating the above doesn't mean a whole hell of a lot.
