White Coli Brehs Who Hang Out With Their White Brehs, Gotta Question For You

[Bless't]

Well, I didn't say "Strangers". I said your "brehs" as in your friends. You don't think it'd be better that they were informed about some of the things that you've learned being on a (predominately) black forum?

I mean surely you know more about the black state of mind after reading intimate opinions of black people on this board?

What makes you avoid enlightening other white people. Serious question, no troll.

Is it the fear of backlash?

Nah. It would just fall on deaf ears.

I mean I always seem them avoid threads about race, and never really ACKNOWLEDGE the fukkery in the white community. It'd be interesting to see if they actually check any of it irl.

of course theyre not gonna acknowledge it....u think they wanna give up their power to us?


its like expecting the winning team to give the losing team some points...thats why we need to separate and get our own society popping...like tulsa 1921

Nah. It would just fall on deaf ears.

So in the end, it's not even worth trying?

The way I see it, most white coli members wouldn't ever really have an opportunity to dispel any misconceptions because white people generally never talk about these issues.
Most of them don't really have black friends. They aren't immersed in black culture. They don't discuss or relate to black issues.

Really, how many of your white friends or white co-workers actually discussed Michael Brown? Or discussed the hypocrisy in convictions between white criminals and black criminals?
99.99% of all discussions that you're going to have with them that include black people are going to revolve around athletes or entertainers.

It's very comfortable to share your love or hate for Kobe Bryant or Nas or Denzel Washington.
But they're not waiting on the line at Starbucks together talking about Eric Garner and the cop who got away with killing him.

The opportunity to "check" people on certain things just doesn't come up.

I'm not going to call a white person a racist because they don't get involved in race discussions. I can understand why they might avoid them.
But I can also understand why some black people might consider their lack of participation in such discussions an avoidance of the inevitable guilt trip over history and how that history has a lingering influence.

It aint bait. It's a serious question. Because I feel like most "aware" white people, don't want to enlighten the white people who aren't. This isn't bait, this is real shyt. Im asking you as someone who's familiar with the white experience in real life.

What is it you want me to say? No matter what I say, you'll have a contrary point of view or a slandering expression about me posting here.

I don't know about that. I've had white friends in the past, and I have one now. One of which I've talked about this stuff with. Opportunities to check them do arrive. Even if it's on some slick shyt that one of them tries to say. I was at a TexMex with one of my white friends and his girl around when the Mike Brown thing happened, and his girl some something to the tune of "Things like this wouldn't happen if ______"and he checked her.

You're mistaken ( no disrespect ) if you think the opportunity doesn't arrive AT ALL. It certainly does. Because a hot topic is a hot topic, negative or positive. You expect me to believe that these generation defining events aren't brought up in casual conversation? They are. I know they are because I've seen it.

These situations are AMERICAN events. They are talked about. The question is are they being enlightened to the black experience from white allies who know, or have "heard" about the other side.

It's that fear of backlash. Let's be real, there are white folks who know what's real and know when some bullshyt is bullshyt. But they also know damn well they are likely in the minority, so they don't want to risk getting caught up in something that wouldn't have happened if they hadn't said shyt.

Though I always give props to white folk who actually speak up on facebook cause it outs your name and shows your face. Let's me know they don't care if the world know they don't stand for evil cac bullshyt. Might not be a majority, but its a few out there that's decent for the cause. Usually though they not on forums though, they usually doing shyt like this

 

[HoloGraphic]

I've come to realize that the majority of the population are ignorant dolts. Why even bother?

Noah let everyone drown after giving people ample time to prep.

Only the Buddha had that level of compassion to never rest till all are enlightened.

As Fredrick Douglas was quoted: it's easier to raise good children than fix broken men. Lead by example for the next gen, but leave the infected to die of their sickness, they can try again in the next life.

Don't get defensive. I know a lot of white folks do that when it's time to talk about race discussions. I'm not trying to criticize your posting here, nor am I trying to paint you out as a racist. I'm legitimately asking you, what stops you from enlightening other white people. Regardless if you avoid threads on race, I'm sure you've lurked, or have seen people on this board pen down their frustrations and experiences with American Racism. So what I'd like you to say is why, you don't say anything to white people who are uninformed.

And I'd appreciate an answer a bit more clear then "It'll fall on deaf ears?" What's the real reason you don't? I've had this conversation before with my boy Gavin. And I'm asking you.

See, I don't associate with white people that have viewpoints such as those. Giving my two cents to a group or one person individually should suffice in establishing how I feel about a social issue.

I highly doubt the majority of them say anything.

Most of them are probably like Seth MacFarlane.
