dlaw: watch me

latinavitaest:

I am expecting serious repercussions from this. So, here I go. For all of you people out there who talk about how white people are so racist, take a damn look in the mirror. We are not the ones who have the ‘BlackPeopleMeet.com’. We don’t walk around saying ‘You don’t know what we went through.’ We don’t sit there and complain about how white people have so much more and how white people always get better. There are so many more things I could name, but I’m adressing you’re stupidity.

So, here: If white people made a ‘WhitePeopleMeet.com’, it would instantaneously be racist. The government would be on us within the blink of an eye. * I have been informed that there is a WhitePeopleMeet.com. SO revision. If we ADVERTISED Via television… that same as above. (I left What I previously wrote because It helps to clarify)

You all use the fact that you were once repressed as a crutch. Let’s invoke Scarlett O’Hara here: “Great Balls of Fire!” Get over youreselves. You have NO clue what your ancestors went through. So, shut your face. I am so tired of it. You use it to get things. I mean seriously, it’s stupid. The black/ other race people who have achieved things WORKED for them. They didn’t just sit around complaining.

You take everything those people worked for forgranted. They worked so that you could get an equal education and you throw it away with both hands and fail. They worked so you could provide for yourselves and achieve the same things as white men. Yet, you sit around and complain and don’t do anything.

Beyond that Africans enslaved Africans. Native Americans enslved Native Americans. Asians the same. Indians the same. In every culture throughout history people have enslaved themselves. Oh, yes, that means white people have been slaves too. We’ve enslaved our own people. Oh now get this: Africans in Africa have had… WHITE slaves.

Just get over yourselves. You are no more important than I am. You are no less important than I am. Infact, ‘All men were created equally.’ Does that line sound familiar? It should. Don’t sit around expecting extra special treatment because some of your ancestors were repressed. Get off you lazy butt and do something for yourself. You are free and safe because someone white or black or asian or any other race took a step, got off their butt, and fought (Figuratively and Literally) for their rights.

*N.B. : I am expecting massive amounts of hate. I will not argue with you. I will listen to what you have to say, but perhaps you should listen to what I am saying as well. Just send hate if you will or send reasonable messages that could do more good than hate.

*N.B. I am not referring alone to black people. I am referring to any race who has people that do this. It’s typical. Every race has them. My rage is simply aimed mostly at the black people who live in my predominantly black county. They are the people who do this. I get so made seeing them throw away an education that could do so much for them.

First, you obviously expect, and desire hate. You called me a nigger, not embedded in your post somewhere, but in the title of said post. For the explicit reason of getting a rise. I’m curious if you posted this for some notoriety. As though your arguments are original, profound, brave even.  

No. Everything you’ve said is tired. You’ve decided to go for the age-old line of “racism is a relic of the past that ended in 1963 when Martin Luther King Jr. told everyone his dream.” So, when people of color speak of racism, we’re bringing up an issue that’s already been resolved. We are only obstacles to success, or something.

But what you’ve failed to realize, is that your post is a validation of the white supremacy that we people of color just love to complain about. 

You called black people lazy. Exclusionary. Stupid. Weak. Then invoke a document (the Declaration of Independence, that, hello, excluded black people from its declarations) to affirm our equality. 

You’re angry. Resentful. Wholly ignorant of the realities of life for people of color within the United States.  You’re also basic.

My first thought was to destroy each and every one of your horribly flawed premises’s, but instead, I’ll just look at it as one of the millions exhibits of white pathology.  

You tried. 

You ever notice that the word racism rarely, if ever, appears in newspapers?  Even if something clearly was fucking racist, then that incident was racially charged.

What’s up with the aversion?  

Black friends!

Dude, Lincoln and Douglass were like, iono, bffs.  No way that Lincoln can be racist!!

Wait, he said:

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”

But, Douglass.

I frown every time I pick up A Patriot’s History of the United States.

In contemporary cases in which a white male enacts violence on people of color, there has to be some mental defect. Something within that poor soul which caused them to behave so poorly. The defect? They snapped. Some isolated instance. Dude just went flippin crazy!

Because realizing the defect, is indeed whiteness, would implicate too many folk. And y’all know we all like clean hands.

I aksed:  Here’s the facts: Zimmerman is a 250 pound 28 yr old man. Who was in a car. Who possessed a gun. Who was told NOT to follow Trayvon. He had all the power and was eager to use it. How can you say Zimmerman was just doing his job? Zimmerman has a history of being aggressive, he’s a freaking vigilante. THEN, you post a picture of Trayvon with a grill, as if that justified his murder. You reek of anti-blackness. And your apologist sentiments are disgusting.

• Trayvon is heavier then Zimmerman.
• He was told he DIDNT HAVE TO pursue Trayvon
• He had a job and was true to it
• He used self defense
• AND the picture of the piture of Trayvon had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GRILLS. It was to show how different he his to how the media portrayed him as a poor little kid

All of you people that think I’m a racist are funny.

I would say the same thing if the dude was Hispanic, White, or Asian. Don’t pull that race card bullshit with me.

http://semperannoying.tumblr.com/ knows absolutely nothing.  NOT A DAMN factoid.  When presented with the facts, they actually say they’re not true.  Shining example of the disease that is whiteness.

Soledad O’Brien questioned Joel Pollak of Brietbart as to what’s so damn controversial about the video of President Obama speaking at Harvard—introducing the late Derrick Bell.

The Right-Wing is now attempting to dress President Obama up as a race warrior and “radical”—whatever the hell that is. But what’s most infuriating is that in this video, there is a complete retreat from the idea that white supremacy is still the order of the day. That just demonstrates how far away we are from really understanding the way our society operates and marginalizes POC.

It began in 1987 with McCleskey v. Kemp. 

Warren McCleskey, an African American male, faced the death penalty in Georgia for the murder of a white police officer.  Despite overwhelming, compelling, statistical evidence that racial discrimination largely determined whether the death penalty was sought in Georgia, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the only way to prove racial discrimination had occurred, was essentially for the prosecutor or judge to say so.

The Supreme Court’s ruling established that in sentencing, racial bias has to be consciously pursued.  But who, in today’s “colorblind” America, would admit they were guilty of blatant racial bigotry?  The Justices of America’s highest court have effectively said, “It’s okay to be racist, so long as you don’t say you are.”

From sentencing to racial profiling, the Supreme Court has revoked the power from People of Color to voice when they feel they have been unjustly affected by America’s laws due to their race, no matter how compelling the evidence available.
