BLACK OR WHITE | Anthony Mackie gets passionate on 'race'

@SPENCER OTTO Questions designed to trap someone into giving a specific response with no intent of actually wanting to hear their opinion on something. You are supposed to interview people to hear what they have to say, but a lot of interviewers now focus on themselves or how to "beat" the interviewee.

[@FBracht]

Me too, buddy. Because, as white people, we grew up internalizing a bunch of shit we now know is wrong. But that shit surfaces sometimes, automatically. Your first thought is always something you have internalized. But then you're free to question that thought, to reject it if it needs to be rejected. To question it if it needs to be questioned. And that is the power. That is how you change. Not by magically not having a first thought that's "wrong", but by having a second thought that is more right than the first.

“Certain people want you to justify what they view you to be. And you can’t give them that right” OH absolutely. Some people will be subjective as hell and hide it under the objective view and tell you it's completely an objective view entirely as that exact justification, quite like a subtle variation of the 1984 plot. You most certainly can't give them that right, not even a millimeter. Probably the biggest perk of having a small circle, easier to cut ties to the blatant red flags. Had run into a person who was just like that; and knowing about how Pevlov's Dog is in psychology, I said, "you can miss me with that bullshit, not-negotiable, look that definition up if it's that confusing as hell to you. The act of listening is not entitled obedience, go-away...shoo...bye...holy-shit..." Just gotta know how to put your foot down against those special individuals! 🤣

[@Alex-rh8mr]

Yep. Projection is rampant today. Ppl have done zero work on themselves and blame everyone else for their own perceptions and issues. We can only control ourselves and the only way to fix the direction we’re going is if everyone gets some therapy and starts figuring out what they need to work on to become a better version of themselves. And with that comes thinking for oneself and being way less reactive. All ppl do today is react to things and they never take responsibility for those overreactions that tend to hurt ppl even more than the initial thing they were reacting to. Social media and the ease/expectation of sharing ones unfiltered opinions has sped up our demise as a collective exponentially, it’s given us all some inherently narcissistic (and sometimes psychopathic) traits that need to be acknowledged and dealt with before anything outside of us can change. Half of me is hopeful for our future and half of me is terrified.

I’m not white but I feel bad for white ppl they have no voice unless their in agreement with racism and white privileged. Not only white ppl but anybody that disagrees is shout down. No one listens everybody is just shouting...Anyway I agree a lot with Mackie but I’ve come up with my own conclusion which is along the same lines with what he said but need to take it one step further, we or America will never ever be rid of racism till each person (individual) of all color race and creed humble themselves recognize any racism in themselves call it out and change till then it’s only going to be the same ppl blaming ppl for racism. It has to start with yourself and not the ppl group. Let me know if you agree

[@Sweetness71775]

I agree that people need to recognize their automatic cognitive processes of schemas and heuristics which then lead to stereotypes and, if they go too far, racism. I do want to add that people ought not prostrate themselves at the feet of those they deem "oppressed" out of some misapplied guilt. That's the most illiberal thing I can think of: reducing yourself and diminishing yourself to appease a group and only seeing the group, not the individuals within the group as individuals. Me, personally, I need to constantly challenge and control my heuristics and schemas regarding other races (I'm white) because I know I have the ability to be a nihilistic asshole. I have countered this by choosing to see the best in people and give them the benefit of the doubt when I meet them. This is not easy. And I'm not looking for social brownie points or a pat on the back in including this anecdote. Hopefully some of this will land on anyone reading this and they'll learn greater levels of self-control that is directly applicable to their own experiences and personalities.

[@amyzing8775]

Absolutely. Everyone needs to be accountable for their own actions. This isn't just a white persons problem to fix. Start with yourself first. Life is not fair all the time. I dont owe anybody anything for being white and I'm not going to apologise for it, but I will accept my privelidge and the role I have in uplifting and advocating for the voices who arent heard in society. Do not give your power away by accepting a common perception of you. Be better than that. All black lives matter. Not just the ones killed by whites, but the ones killed by their own race too. Start at home. We all need to do better and not accept bull or hypocrisy. Listen and learn, accept hard truths, and then do better.

[@Sweetness71775]

@@amyzing8775 Agreed. But remember no race has a monopoly on privilege. Different kinds of varying degrees exist which are more or less advantageous depending on context. Yes, whites are given lighter sentences and the benefit of the doubt more legally (which has logical reasons based on statistics and the survival instinct), but being white doesn't automatically mean your life is a cakewalk. I imagine a white man in West Virginia whose entire family is addicted to meth and he was born out of wedlock doesn't feel particularly privileged when he sees a black man who is a lawyer making 6 figures a year. And as a white man, I have to be incredibly careful that I not offend someone of a different race or a female because in the court of public opinion, I'm guilty until I'm proven innocent and I do not possess the material resources to prove my innocence.

[@elaineg5301]

[@canislunaticus]

The word liberal has really lost it's meaning. The left expects everyone to listen to them but they refuse to listen to anyone who has a different opinion or is on the other side of politics. The only way to change someone's mind is to listen and have a civil and respectful discussion with that person or group. If you throw labels and insults and expect that person or group to change their mind that way you're dead wrong, most likely if you insult and try to silence someone they're either 1. Say they agree with you because they don't want conflict or 2. They'll be pushed further to the other side
