You can call it whatever you want, I just personally don't want to continue a conversation with a person who truly feels that only one type of racism is legitimate. If you want to consider yourself a winner because of this, have at it.
As far as seeing the world for what it is...if you like to go through your day thinking the big bad white man is the only true enemy in this thing called racism, I feel sorry for you.
Sean, let me see if I can understand your anger. Here is what I see , "racism" is the only thing that whites are seen as collectively responsible, thusly if imply that white on black racism is of greater concern, you take it as a personal issue because you feel you must answer for it, because you are a member of that collective.
It's like for me being black, I somehow am viewed as part of a collective of blacks as opposed to an individual. If there is a crime committed I hope it's not a blackguy because black males are viewed as a collective in this regard and I somehow have to justify the action, it reflects poorly on all blacks. The only time whites feel this annoyance is when the discussion is racism, so you become defensive. Which is also why you attempt to equate black on white racism to white on black racism. Both are wrong as I've agreed, but Systematic Racism is not simply white on black racism, and it's not something that effects whites.
I comprehend your reaction because blacks are always viewed as a collective. Welcome to my world. But let's move along from this, stop taking Racism as a personal issue. Systematic Racism is not about a white cop shooting a black teen or some white guy calling a black guy a N......
You decided to focus squarely on the theory of systematic racism, not me.
Ok. So what are you saying that black on white racism is an equivalent issue to systemic Racism, I absolutely disagree.
You can go back and specifically read what my points were...like I said, discussion of this between me and you was done when you told me that one type or racism was more legitimate than another. That's your opinion, and you have ever right to think that, but I also think you're a narrow minded bigot for thinking that. My stance is that racism is racism...and regardless of which kind people think it's historically worse, it all needs to stop, but won't because it's rooted in general prejudices, which are a lot harder to isolate and convince people to stop. If you don't agree, awesome.
Great, thanks for sharing your view on things. You've read mine.
No I haven't.
Oh no, you have certainly read it...whether it was sufficient for you to sleep at night is irrelevant to me. If you feel I didn't answer a question you have about a theory you subscribe to, sucks for you because as I said before, your picking and choosing of which racisms are/are not "real issues" has made me uninterested in continuing the in depth conversation with you about it because I find your views narrow minded.

You pick and chose the levels of torture in the discussion on CIA, so for you to now say things are pun intended only black and white is nonsense. Did you not say ISIS torturing was worse than what the uS did?
Finally, instead grabbing your ball and walking off the court and saying I'm not playing anymore be a man. It's simple why do you feel black on white racism is an issue in America. What's he statistics, what is the societal impact, what is the effect on your life personally. How do you feel it everyday. What is the impediment to your pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. It's very simple ... I've given you many analogies. I sincerely want to understand. What is your reasoning.
Sean I know why you don't actually answer the question, it's simple, deep down you know your claim is ridiculous and it is a defensive reaction not born out of any real evidentiary hypothesis. If you had to really articulate it, you can not, because it's at odds with history, logic, and current events. It's a belief you hold that in a word doesn't jive with your logical sense, so you say, I'm done with the conversation. You feel a certain way but if you had to actually defend it, it would sound absurd.
Answer the man's question. And while you are at it, what is Black Denial?
I'd like some feedback on this topic...What would happen if people found out(in the year 2020), that Obama knew all along that he was born in Kenya? Would he be liable for criminal punishment? Would everything that he signed into law be reversed?
It was really just a term I put on there to oppose the white denial one...but a good example of the idea would be the kind of mob mentality that followed the Michael Brown verdict. You know, attributing any scenario like that to police brutality, regardless of the actual events details or whether the person was committing a crime. Creating a martyr blindly to support an agenda instead of actually supporting a legitimate cause based on a legitimate situation.
Nope, its not about one incident...it's about forming an opinion, and attributing said opinion towards EVERY incident, regardless of outcome, logic or evidence. Put on your tin foil hat! BRAIN SCANS!!!
