Something fishy about Jeffrey’s hair

i know it’s prime time us time but i can’t really see straight anymore. so i will be logging off

I honestly can't give you a history lesson this way, but you oversimplifying a complex system. Blacks are in poverty at twice the rate of whites. White flight from cities means urban schools are largely minority, with fewer tax dollars, and fewer opportunities. Jim Crow laws stopped previous generations from getting out of poverty. No one is blaming white people. But in the US, institutions still favor whites.

              and that’s where i argue that the US institution favors rich people. 

               which on average are more likely to be white. due to segregation and by extend slavery. but today. form where i am sitting a poor white child, and a poor black child going to the same school has equally bad chances at making it. because of the way schools gets funded. 

[godsiwasstrong]

Again -- the US system is more nuanced than that. You need to get further into the issues of segregation, affirmative action, and high education in the US that can't be covered in an ask. You have a very simplified view of it which is understandable as a foreigner, but it's why you're missing a number of things that make it a big deal for many on tumblr.

valid argument.  

probably won’t look further into it though, if i am being honest, if American culture didn’t take so much space on social media, i wouldn’t take an interest in it at all.  

[godsiwasstrong]

Yes, Education, but you're forgetting in the US segregation lasted in some areas until the early 1970s with black schools being dangerously underfunded. People born as late as 1975 would be the first generation of blacks with even vaguely comparable education standards. Whites have had centuries to get ahead.

but that is again, down to the American system failing you, schools gets the funding based on tax income in the area of the school right? where as in Denmark they get paid pr student. 

i don’t think it’s reasonable to blame white people alive today, for a system that is flawed, since a white person coming form a troubled economic background would face the same educational challenges as a black child would.  so yes historical oppression has lead to many POC families today. being unable to survive the american system. but it’s because the system hates poor people not people of color.

[godsiwasstrong]

In the US, a white person makes $13 more to every $1 a black person makes. This has been traced back to carry over from institutional racism through the mid-20th century and is largely traced to the fact that African slaves were not allowed to own property and there was little inheritance among people of color. It's not just people being rude. People being rude is systematic of a larger, cultural problem that oppresses. Vocalizing that and combating that is the only way forward.

            but i would argue, that that is not a race thing persay, but an education thing. like you said, white people have more inheritance and thus the ability to pay for better education and end up with higher paying jobs. 

             For me this is very much a fault in the american system. here, we have education paid by the government, as an investment in the future, and it allows for social mobility. because it’s up to the individual how far they want to take their education, and by an extend how much they wish to get paid once finished studying.

It is equally bad, but they are categorized differently. I think some of what people are getting upset with you regarding is not your points, but the use of the word racism which semantically certain English speaking countries (namely America) would not use as interchangeable.

okay, thank you for telling me :) 

[godsiwasstrong]

I appreciate that you're willing to talk and hopefully learn from this, but as someone who is not American, I think you may not have as nuanced an understanding of racism and slavery as impacts the US in particular -- one of the reasons why American Blacks are sensitive about these topics. Slavery only ended in the late 1800s and systematic laws to discriminate against Blacks lasted into almost the 1970s.

perhaps i do lack an understanding for the nuances involved in racial tension in american society. 

but not to pad my own shoulders to much, i also like to think it means i have a sort of birds view of it. and despite how racist i am coming off tonight, i like to consider myself very neutral on the matter. 

all i am saying is, don’t fight fire with fire, it will only light even more things ablaze. 

[godsiwasstrong]

In English, we differentiate between race and ethnicity. Ethnic discrimination would be white-white or non-white-white where the issue isn't race (skin color), but ethnicity (heritage, culture). Back in the day for example American businesses would discriminate against white, Irish immigrants. This was based on ethnic discrimination. Not racism.

a fair point Anon. 

i would argue that dissemination is equally bad. be it about race, ethnicity or gender tho. wouldn’t you agree? 

[godsiwasstrong]

Racism isn't an opinion. You don't get to be a little racist and that get to be okay. You don't get to decide how to refer to different groups or to compare people who have historically been enslaved (or interned or put in concentration camps) and tell them they're being too sensitive.

every race has at some point been historically enslaved. white people were slaves too,  slavery was a fucked up thing that happened in history. and we as a society has since moved on, and improved our morals. so like one of my first posts said. its in the past. 

[godsiwasstrong]

The use of kommune wouldn't be racist though. It would be an ethnic slur and that is different. "Danish" is not a race. Different ethnicities being insensitive to one another is different than racism. For example, Irish-Americans can discriminate against Italian Americans and use ethnic slurs. That's not racism as "Irish" and "Italian" are not races.

what would you call that, if not racism tho? reacting negatively with prejudice and using offensive language about another group than yours. even if you are both “white” 

[godsiwasstrong]

I'm gonna be reallll honest. A German person claiming whites are discriminated against like minorities makes me real uncomfortable, real fast.

i said a minority group can be racist against a majority group, but if you are uncomfortable, you are welcome to unfollow me. 

[godsiwasstrong]

What racial slurs are whites getting called?

In denmark we have terms such as "kommune." which is used about danish culture by immigrates to state that our culture is boring, and dull. so as a white dane you are "kommune" like.

[godsiwasstrong]

What /is/ your opinion? I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm just having trouble seeing it and saying "PC" culture isn't helping me understand. Racism isn't really up for debate. The willingness to use well-known, codified racial, ethnic and sexual slurs is wrong. Calling someone a fag is objectively wrong. Calling someone a ni**er objectively wrong. It's not a matter of opinion.

racism is wrong i agree. but for me pc culture becomes to much, when it means people have to be afraid of opening their mouth with an opinion that isn’t the same opinion as the far left’s. 

[godsiwasstrong]

Technically the definition of racism is: Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior (Cite: Oxford English Dictionary). I don't disagree that someone can't be racist towards whites, but I question if that's a systemic problem.

i think, and it’s just my thoughts reallythat the more we talk about race, the more it divides people. the more a group is demonized by one group, the more they will demonize that group themselves.
