Tom Brokaw facing criticism for comments on Hispanics: "they need to assimilate better"

[theworldismine13]

White supremacy is about maintaining the status quo of the white race. Multiculturalism is about representation of ALL racial groups, cultures, and identities.

Try harder. You’re getting lazy.

White supremacy is about keeping black people at the bottom

Latinos for example, come from countries that have a longer history of anti black racism then the United States and are white supremacist

Arabs and people from the Middle East have a 1000 year history of African slave trading that predates the European slavery trade and the trading of black slaves continues till this day and there is rampant anti black racism in middle eastern countries

Asians didn't have a slave trade but they have cultures where the dark skin people are at the bottom

And all of those groups engage in discrimination and hatred of black people aka white supremacy when they come to the us

So multiculturalism is really about helping non black people who hate black people get integrated into white society, it's not really about helping black people and there is zero evidence that multiculturalism reduces racism against blacks, quite the opposite, in "multicultural"cities and states like Miami and California there is rampant racism against black people

So again, multiculturalism doesnt reduce racism against blacks because non white groups hold the same hatred and negative attitudes toward blacks that white people have

Even white supremacist understand the importance of being bilingual.

Let me try and unpack this right quick.

Black people giving up their culture and assimilating to white American culture is c00ning.

A major goal of white supremacy was to strip blacks of their own heritage, language, identity, family structure, and even forced taking the white man's religion.

Studies have shown that once oppressed immigrant classes have transitioned past blacks because of white assimilation and then white acceptance compared to that of blacks. E. G. Italians and Irish.

So the solution black people are advocating is the forced assimilation to white American culture by immigrants

So again, multiculturalism doesnt reduce racism against blacks because non white groups hold the same hatred and negative attitudes toward blacks that white people have

You also speak Spanish.

ROLAND SMITH IS A fukkING fakkit! This is not a Black issue. He didnt say shyt about Blacks but this piece of shyt has to throw his two cents in there. I hate this bytch! They got hands! THEY CAN HOLD THEIR OWN NUTS!

Even white supremacist understand the importance of being bilingual.

The problem with forced bilingualism is that it puts those that are not bilingual at a severe disadvantage. And it’s not just as simple as “well then just go learn Spanish”.

I’ve seen it in Florida and Ive seen it up in Canada too(with French). Where many of the government jobs job are only accepting bilingual speakers. So now all those unilingual speakers are completely out of those positions.
All those safe, secure good paying jobs are no longer available to many unilingual speakers, many of which a lot of those communities have relied on for a long ass time.

For example....

NPR Choice page

Blacks are 30 percent more likely than nonblacks to work in the public sector, according to the University of California, Berkeley's Center for Labor Research and Education. And roughly 21 percent of black workers are public employees, compared with 16.3 percent of nonblacks.


Also white supremacists see the importance of being bilingual when it means they get paid more, or when someone else can speak it. You think the large majority of power holders in the US are bilingual? Hell no. But they can leverage ppl that can speak it. (Aka use them as they see fit and discard them when they aren’t important anymore).

Being bilingual can be a positive, but when it comes down to forcing jobs to be bilingual imperative many many ppl will be left out

 

[UserNameless]

Tom has ALWAYS been like this low key ...and “they” hold him in such high esteem



Ignorance should always be countered, especially when it concerns marginalized groups ...


Don’t let HYON prevent you from checking ignorance ... the two CAN be mutually exclusive .

nothing you are saying has anything to do with the real world or how bilingual preferred plays out in the market place, bilingual preferred is just an excuse for keeping out black people from the job market, thats whats happening in miami and in california and in other parts

what native language are you referring to? if you are born in the us, regardless of where your parents are from, your native language is english, and people that come from another countries need to understand that and they also need to learn english, so brokaws comment isnt way off

Being bi lingual or having the ability to speak multiple languages is a skill set fam!

What Brokaw says sounds like what a lot of Posters in here say. Y’all just don’t do the extreme walk back that Brokaw did.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Uni lingual?!? Lmfao! Go ask someone in literally ANY country besides the United States and they speak at least two languages. Smgdh

First America has no national language.

And second, as the world become more closely integrated because of technology, yeah you work with people who work in different countries. Go across the border to work in Canada and you’ll find a whole section of the country speaking French. So if you want to be a black architect or interior designer getting more work by speaking with them in their language will help you.


You and Brokaw need to get out of the 1950s.

#HYON This is how most white Americans feel about these immigrants assimilate = be more white that's basically what it boils down to...

isnt he just talking about learning to speak english? which is a completely reasonable expectation and im not sure what that has to do with black americans, who all speak english
