There are plenty of things, black history month, celebrations of "diversity," etc...that just get annoying for white people.
|
Please don't claim to speak for white people. Those things get annoying for YOU.

This is quickly becoming a waste of my time.
You win. You're right. Things do things. I give up.
I guess I'll have to be happy just knowing that no one will ever have to listen to you try to explain chaos theory.

This thread is interesting but also crazy.
As for symbols...
My email has "saltire" in it because it is the name for the flag of Scotland, and I have Scottish ancestors...and I am very very far from a racist. So, it really depends on who is using something, and what they are using it for.
The Nazis turned a symbol into a symbol for hate, yet many places you go in Asia still have that symbol prominently featured.
It's about how you use a symbol, and whether you are intentionally trying to hurt someone.
Now, that does NOT mean you go around saying the N word to Black people and mean it "with love", because you are directly engaging that individual with a term that his considered hateful.
Does that make any sense?

A lot of (white) people feel that programs designed to level the playing field are "racist." That belief is based on a lack of social consciousness and tendency for some (white) people to feel as though many resources BELONG to "THEM." Thus when these resources are redistributed, many (white) people feel slighted rather than feeling that these resources belong to SOCIETY. But it isn't really about white people vs. black people. It's about power dynamics and how majority groups in power perceive threat to their opportunity and resource hoarding.

You DO need a lecture on it because you are doing the very same thing that people on the board do to you. You don't know what "racism" is just like many of your accusers don't know what "racism" is. This doesn't mean that you aren't racist but before I would call you a "racist" I would just call you "socially ignorant." Having a differing opinion is fine but the foundation for your opinions tends to be logically flawed and supported by both a covertly and overtly supremacist ideology.
I know that Conservative is not synonymous with bigot. I do not subscribe to most political categories and labels but I consider myself to be more Conservative than Liberal with exception for certain social welfare programs. However, Conservatives created and perpetuated the label of bigot and racist for themselves many years ago. They allowed the bigots and racists to be their most vocal representatives.

Everyone's entitled to having an opinion because opinions are like assholes. Now that we've overstated the obvious, it is important to note that we are talking about social phenomena here. Since you are probably not as well-read as others on these topics, I expect for you to expouse your viewpoints and stand behind them faithfully regardless of any "evidence" to the contrary.
