I have become convinced that once our Black brothers and sisters finally had their rights acknowledge and given equal status with White people, all other minorities would be given the same. Every time Black rights and lives are brought up, people begin speaking of the other minorities treated badly, which dilutes the unique bigotry that has been foisted on the descendants of Africa, by the descendants of Europe.

With 2000 US tax-payers paid for bombs courtesy of Genocide Joe.

[@mrpearson1230]

I listened to the audiobook and it was so good I had to buy it! PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! only thing I don't like, which comes towards the end is the falsehood that anybody can be racist which is a miseducation of how racism has played out from 1607 to the 1964 passage of the civil rights act which then gave white men who were in charge, and still are mostly in charge in our government, the ability to write into law what racism is going forward. Racism is discriminating based on "race" (skin color) by means of legal authority or constitutional control, as Robin Diangelo explains perfectly in her book "White Fragility" in Chp 2 & 3. As Stokey Carmichael said many years ago "If a white man wants to lynch me that's his problem. If a white man has the power to lynch me thats MY problem. Racism is not a question of attitude, it is a question of power"

[@peterporkeresq.2817]

Hmm, brilliantly put.

[@BillBarr4President]

You lost me the moment you mentioned Robin DeAngelo.

[@Jason-bz6uw]

Most people who mention racism are actually referring to bigotry or prejudice. Not liking Black people doesn't make you racist. Stopping Black people from getting jobs, buying property, attaining higher education etc does. Racism is about power, not feelings.

[@IMHTP]

Right. Allowing slavers to dictate what racism is is like allowing burglars to install alarm systems.

[@Maliceless100]

White Fragility imparted nothing but suspicion and counterproductive marching orders. What solution does her book offer? If all white people are born white supremacists and, no matter what they do, will always be white supremacists, what's the point? Where's the hope? She affirms victimhood but offers nothing substantive for the future. She's most pointless virtue signaller of the millenium. You're right, racism is discriminating based on race or skin color. MLK said to consider people for their merit and character, not skin color. But woke zealots want skin color to be the first consideration and final deciding factor. MLK preached transcendent color blindness, but some try to convolute his beautiful message. How helpful is a book _(like Boykin's or DiAngelo's)_ that makes unprovable subjective assertions while not addressing tangible, solvable systemic racism _(the black/white wealth and education gap)_ caused and sustained by policy. Segregated neighborhoods are on the rise in cities, and segregated people don't stand a chance. We must get down to the difficult business of changing people's minds, so laws are changed _(instead of virtue signalling to other woke zealots)._ Burdening today's innocent young people with yesterday's crimes will never enlist them to join in the fight to end systemic racism. Everyone should be taught the truth about black history in America, but not today's twisted subjective takes like those of Robin DiAngelo.

What does gender pay gap have to do with comparing white and black women’s bodies and health? You are confusing different issues.

That's your choice and privilege. Do you think Harry Dunn, the Black Capitol Police Officer who served on Jan 6th, had that option when he was repeatedly called the n-word during the Capitol riot?

[@Maliceless100]

The main culprit of American racism is the black/white wealth and education gap caused by old local ordinances that zone and segregate. Segregation in schools has been illegal for decades, but neighborhood segregation in Cities is on the rise again. You don't stand a chance if you're segregated _(this is systemic racism)._ There are tangible solutions that require changing minds and laws _(but it's tough to get single family home neighborhoods to allow multi-family housing in, because it affects property values)._ This catch 22 is the ugly truth, but it's an uphill battle many are prepared to join. I read some of Boykins' assertions and not convinced they'll compel anyone to act on the real solutions. VIEW guest *Coleman Hughes* from a few weeks ago is definitely the voice of the future. If you can understand the true nature of virtue signalling, you see how counterproductive it is, same goes with the woke religion _(where every consideration starts with race, and every decision is based in race)._ MLK said to consider people for their merit and character, but today's woke zealots are only concerned with skin color.

[@NycGuy7]

Woke actually means awareness. Right wingers falsely use the term to describe anything they don't like. Coleman's arguments, much like yours, are flawed because they're rooted in false assumptions. Both race and class matter in America. Being upper class does not shield a Black person from racism and its effects. Ignoring race and exclusively focusing on class does not address racism or racial disparities.

Does racism exist? Sure. Is it a primary issue these days? No. Is victimhood in? Yes. And that’s why we have to listen to this 💩 so much. Too many people looking for ways to be a victim is a bigger issues, and that’s regardless of race.

[@shereesheree7735]

Yep!! American blacks found out that race victimization pays. In fact, it's always the blacks who bring up the race issue. What's really sad is that whites in South Africa are constantly harassed and murdered by blacks, and you hear nothing about it. I'm over all of it, TBH. Only kind of race ALL Americans should be discussing is NASCAR!!

[@rappinron1384]

Yup, all their problems can be fixed outside of themselves. Also, it's a culture issue, not skin color.

Black and brown people ARE victims of racism and have been since the first enslaved Africans were brought to America. They are subjected to every form of racism.

[@user-pq2nv7lt8n]

It depends where you are. If you're working at a sort of regular 9-5 job, going to church with people who generally get along with all kinds of people, you'll hardly ever experience racism. If you decide today to become a lawyer, get a PhD in the humanities (classics, philosophy, English, history etc), if your job is in the upper echelons of the political world, you will experience shocking levels of racism (especially systemic) everyday. It's still very significant sadly, but it often depends where you are and what you're doing, and if you're perceived as a "threat".
