Black Self / White World - lessons on internalized racism | Jabari Lyles | TEDxTysonsSalon

[@k.t.7507]

i have to say that the most heartbreaking time is when you come to the realization of how prevalant racism is in the world. You think you can just love people, but as time goes on you soon begin to realize that it's seems as a never-ending battle that you seem like you can never win.

[@stefanroche3052]

From my perspective at least, it will span centuries. If slavery was allowed to go down for millennia, not just centuries, then every ism we share will last as long unless we all exponentially raise our consciousness and act against every micro or macro aggression. That may involve a huge democratization of resources and perceived status. I know some solutions but this is a world issue obviously.

[@JerseySlayer]

Then you're weak, you're probably in favor of censoring speech, you don't know the history of "micro-aggressions", and you're promoting intersectionality. Real racism is over, and the people in this victimhood society are making a mockery of real racism that people had to face in the past.

Until we're picking up the paint chips taste-testing them for leaden racism that may or may not exist on the superposition, quantum level the oppression. Way to expose mild inconveniences I could've shared about being a white male picking up Hispanic co-workers from the block and being prejudiced and profiled as a drug addict. Or the fact that I'm prejudiced against for being 32 but only 5'7 with a young face so I constantly get second-guessed as young and inexperienced or not commanding or intimidating. How about the oppression I face for coming up on food-stamps and being looked at by these intersectionality-lovers as "privileged" even though my family was 5-10 years behind every other middle-class family in America until 2014? Ridiculous. Prejudice isn't racism. Life oppresses everyone. We're raising a bunch of babies who feel entitled even though they live in the freest, most accepting, most multi-culturally diverse, most ethical county in the world. And the real crime is that this nonsense is resulting in real racism, real bigotry, explicit bigotry against white men. Look up postmodernism. Look up intersectionality. Look up the Sokal Squared Hoax, and see what they exposed about what was being taught in colleges. This fake compassion-driven racism is unbelievable, and you people just eat it up because you think with your heart and you don't look at the big picture or think with your head. Absolutely amazing. 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

My best friend is a Mexican with internalized racism against Mexicans. I'm white, but my boyfriend is Mexican and she doesn't understand his struggles at all. She was whitewashed as a kid. We talk about racism with opposite views, I think it's real and a problem needing to be fixed. She thinks it ended a long time ago and that colored people are just being whiny and asking for handouts. Its insane because when people overhear us they assume we would have switched view points. I think a big part of this was the kind of churches she grew up in. I grew up in similar ones but rejected the views after my family left. I'm an atheist.

So this man grew up with a nice, supportive family in a privileged neighborhood then went to university and then applied for a job he desired and was hired and is now doing something rewarding for himself and for others. But he is oppressed and marginalized by racists in the United States that enabled all of his success to occur. OK, got it. He's a victim.

My ancestors fled the horrors of rural Southern life for the less dangerous cities of the South-in the mid-Twentieth Century, my mother and her siblings boarded buses and found other ways to flee the problems of segregated life in the urban South, for the segregated ghettos of the North, and eventually life in the then predominately white ethnic, but, changing 'burbs. I fled the middle class 'burbs for college, and post-graduate life in upwardly mobile burbs, then I fled upwardly mobile 'burbs for urban gentrification-unfortunately, the "One-Drop" rule will probably dominate life in these United States of America until the "land of the brave and home of the free" as we know it no longer exists.

Your country loves you. Your country wants you to succeed. Your society embraces you. Don't take it to heart. Don't let it define you, and don't become bitter, indifferent, resentful, or feel like a victim. We've made too much progress in this country to have intersectionality derail us and send us in a reverse-racism tailspin, and that's what I and many others see coming out of people who speak on these topics. God bless you for helping others, I'm sorry that you felt slighted, but remember to stay positive.

I voted for Bill Clinton twice and Obama twice, my wife voted for Hillary in 2016 while I sat it out. My small business had at least 8% annual growth until Obama got in office and I watched the life get sucked out of my customer base and my business under his watch. My small business went from 8% annual growth to 30% annual loss. That's nearly a 40% differential negative swing. I went from 17 employees, to just 3 in 8 years. Eventually in 2016, I had to sell the business I had owned since 1993 which did not cover all of my debt, so I had to file bankruptcy. Me and my wife were both life-long Democrats, but never again.
