In elementary.....I'm , btw...we watched Roots, uncut....
Amos Wilson, is the highest authority in my opinion, breh... he breaks it down so eloquently...if you haven't already, check him out on youtube.. .Always had suspicions my whole life
2 things sealed the deal for me though, both happened in 2013
1st was the Trayvon Martin trial, I remember going to work that next dayatmosphere was on a whole nother level
after that I started to look up different black scholars/activists of old on youtube trying to make sense of this whole racism shyt
had to separate the real black scholars from the pseudo/fake ones
Then finally I stumbled across the true origin/nature of the european
I had a long list of scholars i was gonna put in my original postAmos Wilson, is the highest authority in my opinion, breh... he breaks it down so eloquently...if you haven't already, check him out on youtube.. .
i remember having similar thoughts until those "cool teachers" and "chill friends" that you've mentioned inevitably showed their ass and racist tendencies in some way or another. ie. facebook memes, casual conversations, behaviors with other people, etc.When I abandoned all logic and reason. When I realized that the actions of some can accurately predict the actions and attitudes of everyone else that looks like them.
When I ignored the fact that most white people Ive interacted with were just regular ass people.
When I got on TheColi and realized that the white cop that caught me with weed and let me go, my white friend of four years, the super friendly boss I have at my job, and all the awesome white teachers Ive had over the years, were all secretly plotting on my downfall. Because its impossible for a single white person to not have racial bias.
Yall got it backwards, some white people are unabashedly racist pieces of shyt. fukk em. But its extemely illogical and disingenuous to make the argument that the vast majority of white people are racist.
The most simple and easy counter argument I can provide, without doing a ton of research, is, the millions of white people who voted a black family in the white house, twice. That alone wouldve been impossible if the majority of white people were racist.
gradeschool... learned about slavery, that was that
think maybe second grade? idk its been so long
As their numbers dwindle and obvious demographic changes impose themselves on the global dominance they've enjoyed, white people will become more appreciative of white identity. What we're witnessing of their behavior is correlated with the slide in their prominence. They're beginning to feel like trapped rats, unwanted pests surrounded by walls that offer no escape from the predators on their scent. Trump's white supremacist machismo is part of their last gasp, a hail mary of spectacular failure that'll make them feel secure for a short while before the demographic nightmare they're avoiding becomes inescapable.
