Correcting grammar is racist.

[Edwardo Piet]

Nah, it's mainly because your (and several other people in this thread)'s argument are fucking jokes. White privilege isn't real. It's just an excuse to blame your terrible life choices on us.

Try defeating an argument with an argument if you think it's a fucking joke.

[Pat Mustard]

Example of white privilige- you're almost certain to have been bornbin a country where chidren don't starve to death before the age of five.

Says the girl that thinks murdering racists are a-OK. Your opinion is less than valueless to me.

Racists?

Actually, you know the conflict in Northern Ireland isn't the subject of the thread but they're not racist, sectarian perhaps but not racist. I respect your opinion of my opinions. It's a free country.

I don't take back all of my views on the conflict but I might have to reconsider some of them. I also could have stated my views on the subjects in a more calm and mature manner. For that I apologise, but that's clearly not worth much to you.

Have a nice evening.

***emphasis all mine, since nobody is reading what I post anyway***

I think your both missing what I said and instead arguing a point you want to make. I understand what racism is, both institutional and personal. However, in the US, racism against white people, IMO, is silly. On both levels. I explained why I think it is so.

If either of you feel it's a serious matter then please help me understand why that is.

If it's just a high horse thing and your intentionally misreading my post then, pls don't do that.

I thought I was arguing that point. You think it's silly to be belittled and made to feel like you're less valuable because of your skin color if you're white? I know some kids who will disagree with you.

My point was just that on an individual basis racism is never silly and it hurts just as bad when your skin is white.

I'd disagree with that. I don't know the children of whom you speak but I remember that any difference as a child will be exploited by other children. Children a cruel, fickle, selfish beings by nature. I'd hardly call them racists. 

Being approached aggressively on the street by a group of young folks because I'm white is the least of my problems in the US. When it has happened I, as a white person, have the privilege of knowing that if something happened to me it would be looked into. 

I can walk confidently down just about any street know that because of my whiteness I have a level of protection, the same protection all people should have but don't. So if somebody gives me a funny look or calls me a name I'm still cloaked in that "old roman" protection of being a "white citizen". So being racist to me is silly, since we both know (unless your also white) the consequences are different between us. If somebody acted on that racism there would be the full weight of consequences against them, because I am white. 

Therefore the only thing I really have to fear is ignorance, my own and those of others. That's what makes racism against white folks in the US so silly, if you were to act on it you'd be in for allot of trouble and you probably know that. If you don't then your ignorant, and that's just plain funny to think that somebody would grow up in US as a minority and know have that instilled in them.

If it hurts you as a white person, things said, I can't understand why. What's so hurtfully by disliking your whiteness? At least the ignorant view of you as a member of a group and not as an individual is historically accurate. But does it detract from your privilege as a white person? No. Does it detract from your own understanding of your self and your place in the US society and culture? No. It's nothing more then a "your moma" joke that you took to seriously at that point.

So I stand by my statement. In the US racism against white people is silly.

[Losty]

Racism is never silly.

[Goosebump]

Racism is never silly.

And it's clearly black and white.

What do you mean by "What's so hurtfully by disliking your whiteness?"  And "At least the ignorant view of you as a member of a group and not as an individual is historically accurate."

I didn't know white people were safe walking all streets in America because of a white cloak of protection, I thought there were areas with high black or mexican popilations that are considered dangerous for white people to walk through.

That's how it is in the UK at least.  If you're white and you walk into an area where you're in the minority you don't get extra respect or protection for being white, it's more like a target sometimes.

In America maybe the police give you extra protection for being white, over here they're more likely to want to do less work and just tell you to get out of the bad area you're in, rather than give you extra protection.

So if a white couple are kidnapped, racially taunted, the girl gets raped the guy gets murdered that's silly, because the aggressors will face consiquences?

The idiocracy can, and will, get worse:

Yes, and other colors too.

But It Doesn't Matter If You're Black Or White

Or other colors.

What's racists is that you and people like you thinking you have this privilege while others don't.

Racism is very easy to define.
rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
noun: racism
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Your argument presupposes because racism is not occurring on the level (volume of people involved) as the primary race, it is not happening.

Again not true, as 'volume' of people in society participating has nothing to do with the definition.

Ask a black person what Koreans or Chinese thinks of them, especially if they own a store in a black neighborhood.
Black people represent 13.2% in the US and Asians (all of them combined) 4.8%. To put it mildly there is a strong social dislike between those two cultures. Now because Asians represent a smaller minority, do you really think they can not be racist or do/can not ascribe to all out racism against black people?

White people are f-ing idiots. (Not all, just bleeding heart morons like yourself) There is a natural proclivity to stick together (races.) Even as children we seek out people of like skin first. There is nothing wrong with that. That is 100's of thousands of years of survival and social order telling us that. Racism as per the dictionary definition and not the white douche definition, says what makes racism different than participating in a natural proclivity to group ourselves together according to race is the idea that members of one race seek to disparage another while elevating their own race.


Meaning WHEN EVER someone of another race elevates himself over another or seeks to oppress another race he is actively involved in racism no matter what social minority or majority they are apart of.
