Time For Whites To Wake Up

[A Theist]

What I mainly object to is that whenever there's a discussion on racism, whether it's from the news media, T.V. and radio talk shows, or even on discussion forums like this one for example, the discussions tend to focus mainly on White racism as if somehow seeming to imply that other groups can't be racist, or if other groups are racist, their racism against Whites for past atrocities generations ago are still justified today. If the very ones who are spouting the need for serious discussions on race, and if they're truly serious about it, then they're going to have to end the focus on just one group and recognize that racism transcends ALL racial barriers and that no particular race has clean hands, and no excuses or justifications. The passive whites and their anti- White, "White Guilt" , Whites are evil racists and deserve what they get" mentality is going to have to end. That kind of passive and dismissive "denial" attitude will never be productive in discussions on racism. If race discussions can't be approached honestly and properly (inclusive) then I say that Whites are just as justified to hold street demonstrations, protests and rallies, boycotts, and all the same tactics that Blacks used in their civil rights efforts to have their voices heard. Civil rights tactics =/= the tactics displayed in the videos below.

I agree there is a double standard when discussing racism, but my question to you is how does starting a thread called "Time for Whites to Wake Up" create a serious discussion or provide any pragmatic solutions. We need to address racism as a whole, and simply focusing on white racism serves no more purpose than denying its existence.

The title's definitely controversial and even provocative but it's just those kinds of things that bring attention to an issue for discussion. After flipping through some of the cable news networks and listening to Chris Matthews "Cracker" remarks and also listening to an activist on HLN saying that she told her black children to beware of Whites because White people wanted to kill them, etc...and reading comments from some individuals in other threads on this forum, and then hear these very people say there needs to be a serious conversation about racism in this country. They're right that there needs to be a conversation, but it seems these guys just want a one way discussion that talks about White racism.
My frustration is that their pleas for serious discussions are pointless and phoney when all their conversations either demonize and malign whites for past atrocities, or when the conversation dismisses racism against whites as being somehow justified...and yourself agreed that, "there is a double standard when discussing racism". The double standard is what I was trying to point out. In my OP I addressed the stirring up of anti-white sentiment by radicals and activists and racism against whites. It's not racist to point those things out and if anyone reads through my posts in this thread, nowhere have I responded with racial slurs or degraded anyone over skin color, except that I've degraded a few for being assholes though. The provocation of the title certainly grabbed everyones attention and whether or not the discussion in this thread is currently productive, racism at least is revealed as transcending the color barriers and not just exclusive to Whites only. If racism against Whites continues to be dismissed as a concern, then yes, I believe Whites would be just as justified as were the Blacks to mirror their tactics when they held massive protests and rallies, even boycotts, to bring attention to their civil rights issues.
