This is what the legacy of ‘white privilege’ looks like in Bill O’Reilly’s hometown

Yeah, I've actually discussed the bolded before too. Here is a post of mine from last year that also highlights two really cool books that outline how black people were screwed over:



It's just amazing to me that people don't understand that the current state of the black community is related to a legacy of systematic racism and discrimination. Even black people are starting to largely buy into individual versus structural explanations for our current state. Overall, our attitudes toward other blacks are converging with the attitudes of non-Hispanic whites as they relate to other black people and it's scary.

People aren't "doing the history" and if this trend continues then we will likely experience even more deterioration.

The narrative which commonly gets overlooked is that the effects from systematic oppression, sends ripples through entire generations, and not a mere couple of years. Someone who isn't adequately educated in their adolescence will most likely struggle and have hardships through life, which will ultimately transcend and affect their offspring as well to a certain degree. So it's no surprise when you see the state of the "black community" that it's in.

It is because it is not taught. One should not have to get advanced schooling to know this stuff, but we do. I never knew this stuff in in high school. Until we make it mainstream, we will have a problem.

The irony of all this is that in a contemporary setting, there are who people are trying to rewrite history and make issues of the past seem less inhumane. Only problem is that these idiots like to focus on slavery, when I'll through them a bone, and say, I don't really care, or even bytch about slavery; that's in the past way out of my control.

Instead I'm more concerned with, the more "blatant acts" of racism and discrimination which happened a mere 40-50 years ago and have they effect Black Americans today. The notion of simply telling black americans to get over feeling oppressed or more importantly feeling the blowback from prior oppression during the civil rights / black codes era seems idiotic, when numerous people who were against fundamental rights of "black" americans, are still alive today, and have children with whom they shared and instilled their worlds feel in.

Changing the way people think and react on a subconscious level isn't an overnight fixer upper, but rather a generation shift of acceptance.

It's where threads are sent so that they don't harm the precious eyes of non-black first time visitors.

Think of it as the coli's version of st0rmfr0nt's 'open forums' -- except where st0rmfr0nt is unabashedly pro-white and segregates everyone else into their own forum, the coli is unabashedly pro-white-advertising and segregates 'black' threads into their own forum.
