Title: Count the racist's
Post by: Rocky on May 30, 2021, 10:13:55 AM
   Funny this poll has never been taken here
Racism refers to ANY race

   Feel free to add how many of each you know and who they are racist towards or remain anonymous.

Everyone I know who is white is racist -- by Critical Race Theory definition. 

I have known many people who hold misconceptions/stereotypes or make prejudicial assessments of others of different races, but that's not racism.  That's bigotry and prejudice.

Archie Bunker (a fictional but famous TV character) was a bigot who believed stereotypes of every race, ethnicity and sexual orientation.  Whether it was Blacks, Irish, Pollocks, Jews, or Gays, he assumed everyone in each group behaved and thought similarly.  I don't remember him ever espousing a belief that Whites were superior or any other race was inferior.

So, I've known many Archie Bunkers, but no Adolf Hitlers.

The morons who brought you the ideas that checking out a chicks cleavage is the same as rape, and mean words are the same as violence would get a forever case of PTSD if they knew how 'RACIST!' Hawaii is, its astonishing how we can give each other a raft of crap about cultural differences, belittle each other over living up to stereotypes and still like hanging around each other.

 I for one love our Rampantly Racist Paradise. We are so good at it we can be 4 kinds of racist to a person who has 4 different ethnic extractions. Try and top that Mainland Haoles!

I am so glad you have made that distinction Flapp.

The current problem, with Critical Race Theory, is the fanatics in-support and against that theory are the ones unfortunately controlling the narrative, thereby, fostering more race hatred, on both sides, of the spectrum.  Is there evidence to support the presence, of systemic or institutionalized racism, in certain public and private institutions, in the US empire today?  Yes, there is evidence.

For the fanatics supporting Critical Race Theory, however, that does not mean all White people are bad; employ such prejudice and bigoted behaviors, outside their home or in the workplace; and should be mercilessly ostracized.

For the fanatics against Critical Race Theory, unless you live isolated, on a rural homestead, it would be very disingenuous to claim all White people do not have prejudice or practice bigotry, to other races, or support the idea that certain professions, upper management, political power, etc. should be a White's only club.

As to why, the power okole, who happens to be predominately White, seems oblivious to this issue; the reason is obvious.  The oligarchs, of the US empire, loves distraction and division, as race is the only domestic issue, other than garnering hatred to China and Russia, that they can use to prevent American patriots, from focusing their anger and energies against them.

Consider that while taking the above poll.

that is useless.  That being said, there are cultures I don't like.
I don't like Democrats.
I don't like Socialists, Communists, or Globalists.
I don't like Eco-nuts.
See, I'm not a racist, I'm just a man that wants to be free
and live as I choose.

I encounter people on the mainland everyday who think that Hawaii is great because we don't have racism here.  Then they have that look of surprise when I tell them that we are really racist in Hawaii.  But then they kind of smile and look a little confused when I them we're racist in a fun way.  We grow up teasing and making fun of each others ethnic backgrounds.  Some of the best jokes come from the ethnic group you're are trying to make fun of.  I like to tell people "Why don't they have hemorrhoids in Japan.....because the sent all the assholes to Hawaii!"  Yes I'm of Japanese decent but my grandparents were born on the big island in the plantations......does that qualify me for reparations lol  I also get asked a lot if I'm Shoshone or Paiute.

Politicians like to use racism to keep us divided and gain support for themselves.  It keeps them in power and makes the rich.  I like Morgan Freemans response when asked how to stop the spread of racism, he said "Stop talking about it!"

I may be Japanese by ethnicity but my nationality is American.  I believe in and support our Constitution.  I made an oath to defend it when I joined the military and will continue to do so until the day I die.

As far as the poll?  Yes I'm racist but racist "Hawaiian style"

Archie Bunker on gun control
https://youtu.be/KwwD0MwQo5w

I wanted to get some context as to the time period when this was being discussed. The quick skim of crime statistic data showed that there was a massive surge in gun crime in the early 70s to the 80s was almost exclusively in big cities. Surprise those states and cities all had Democrat Governors and Mayors at the time. The rise was directly tied to street gang violence and organized crime

Also, gun crime rates have dropped massively beginning in  the 90s (and are still dropping even if the TV pretends its not). I am guessing the 70s-80s Cocaine Cowboy wars probably blew stats thru the roof for a dozen plus years.

Am I racist for pointing out that the gangs they mention as creating all the gun violence werent White?

The 70s and early 80s also experienced one of the worst recessions in US history.  Double-digit inflation, 20%+ consumer loans, gas prices out the roof, gas shortages, foreclosures, businesses going under, wide scale unemployment, and a national drug problem that was killing people in the tens of thousands per year in the late 1970s.

Illegal drug markets create a long list of associated crimes and problems.  It's why the war of drugs started in the 1980s.  The people wanted something done, and that was the President's answer at the time.  Here's a very thorough exploration of what might be the reasons and causes of the 1980s "illegal drug panic":

Quote
The late 1980s witnessed a drug "panic," "crisis," or "scare" (Levine and Reinarman, 1988, 1987; Reinarman
and Levine, 1989; Goode, 1990). Public concern about drug use, although it had been building throughout the
1980s, fairly exploded late in 1985 and early in 1986. And the drug that was the special target of public concern
was cocaine, more specifically, crack, a cocaine derivative. Drug use generally came to be seen as a—some say
the—social problem of the decade. Drug use, abuse, and misuse emerged into the limelight as perhaps never
before. It is possible that in no other decade has the issue of drugs occupied such a huge and troubling space
in the public consciousness. And it is possible that no specific drug has dominated center stage in this concern
as crack cocaine did between 1986 and, roughly, late 1989 to early 1990.

A lot depends on what definition is being used and the context that statement was being made.

For me, racism is a system that allows any racial group that’s already in power to retain power; hence, a racist person is someone, who advocates and actively participates, in the creation and maintenance, of that hierarchy.

Based on the definition I use, your statement is not at all racist, as it has nothing to do, with perpetuating a particular racial power structure.  However, if your next statement was to the effect of "Non-white people should not be allowed to own guns, due to the preponderance, of gun-related crimes, in their communities".   That would be a racist statement, as it would be protecting the right (power) to own guns, only to one particular race.

Unfortunately, the logic you say we should not use regarding race and gun ownership is exactly the logic being used for other groups.

Not all felons commit crimes with guns (or violent crimes at all), yet all felons are prohibited from owning guns.

Same is true of domestic abusers, drug abusers, drunk drivers, people seeking treatment or counseling for emotional health issues, etc.

Simply belonging to a "class" determined to be untrustworthy with guns will have their civil right to own a gun violated.  Obama included Social Security recipients who have someone else managing their money as a prohibited class, and the courts shot that down.  Once they started defining classes of people for their policies, it was just a matter of including more and more classes without having to consider an individual's fitness to own guns.

Excellent and unfortunate point, as you mentioned Flapp.

It is tragic that the utilization of groups or classes in laws have translated to other areas, particularly in gun ownership, to truly unfair and/or unintended effect.  However, let's not forget the motives behind gun control is in the interest, of the power okole.  Nevertheless, reckless lumping of people into sometimes politically motivated arbitrary classes, in order to favor another particular class, is definitely another derivative form of racism, as well.

The way things are going, I would not be surprised, if the power okole influence legislation that requires a certain level of income, which only the wealthy possess, as a legal requirement to vote, own guns, or run for political office.

That was already attempted when the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in part to ban Saturday Night Specials. 

The rationale was that poor people were able to use guns because they could afford the SNS.  So, lawmakers intended to make available guns more expensive by banning the cheaper ones.  I guess they never heard of "economies of scale," or the secondhand market  As demand for the 9mm lines increased, the prices fell.  Dealers could make the same profit by selling more guns for lower prices.  Get rid of one option, another fills that void.

Trying to price something out of the hands of the lower class normally doesn't usually work in the US.  If it exists, anyone can find a way to obtain it.  Illegal drugs are a good example.  People who are always broke seem to have the money to buy drugs.

The party that champions diversity, affirmative action, critical race theory, and racial "equity" (vs. equality) is also the party of slavery, civil rights legislation opposition, Jim Crow laws, and Black Lives Matter.

This same party that is anti-"Old White Male patriarchy" just put the oldest, whitest male ever in the White House.

It's like dealing with a 3 year old whose favorite food yesterday was mashed potatoes, and today can't stand them -- and you made extra because it's THEIR FAVORITE.

The Democrats have not changed.  They still use race as a means to obtain and maintain political power.

Sorry.  I choose to never give one second of my life to the person in that video.  Waste of space, even in the digital space.

He used to be funny, I mean not super funny but at least it was entertaining. Watching clips of him lately is about as fun as drinking dirty mop water.

JUST IN - Biden to boost vaccinations at "hubs of activity and information for black and brown communities," citing local beauty shops, barbershop & stylists.

Only way it could be more blatant is if he said they were gonna vaccinate black folks in Popeye's parking lots.

I would say we all are racists.  Whether we know it or not.  Whether we want to or not.

Racism has been taken totally out of context recently.  Mostly for political aspirations.  It has been dumbed down to the point where everything we say, do, or believe is somehow racist.

And those who have suffered the most from racism are predominantly responsible for this, throwing out common sense and rationality out the window, replacing it with greed, hate, and anger.

A lot depends on what definition is being used and the context that statement was being made.
For me, racism is a system that allows any racial group that’s already in power to retain power; hence, a racist person is someone, who advocates and actively participates, in the creation and maintenance, of that hierarchy.

Based on your definition, POC would be the racist as they are the "racial group that’s already in power " is POC  "who advocates and actively participates, in the creation and maintenance, of that hierarchy."

To paraphrase...
"Just give everyone a gun when they get on the plane.
Who's gonna let someone hijack the plane and stop them from getting to their destination?"
Brilliant.  :geekdanc:

Fair statement, but it depends on what definition of racism is being used.  I would 100% agree that human beings are inherently prejudiced and often consciously or subconsciously exhibit bigoted behaviors.



Racism has been taken totally out of context recently.  Mostly for political aspirations.  It has been dumbed down to the point where everything we say, do, or believe is somehow racist.
Totally agree.  It is not that the politicians created racism and/or hate.  It was more they took what was already present, fanned things up, in order to achieve their agendas.



And those who have suffered the most from racism are predominantly responsible for this, throwing out common sense and rationality out the window, replacing it with greed, hate, and anger.
I have to disagree with this.

No common person wakes-up, in the morning, to purposely hate any particular group or race, without reason.  As stated above, politicians are notoriously guilty, of exacerbating racism and hate, but they are not the reason racism and hate exists.  There must have been some cause and effect at-play, which have given rise to the racism and hate exhibited.  Fabricated prejudice and bigotry do not last that long, as rational people really do not have time or energy in hating something that is based on nonsense.  There must be an underlying reason that will convince a person, ethnicity, or race to hate another group that is different from themselves.

Consequently, one of the most important lessons in history comes to mind: no justice, no peace.

That was already attempted when the Gun Control Act of 1968 was passed in part to ban Saturday Night Specials. 
The rationale was that poor people were able to use guns because they could afford the SNS. 
Totally racist law.
Try looking up the FULL name of the "(N)SNS"

Just curious, what metric are you using to claim POC are in power and what hierarchy are you referring that they are in-control?

Newish implies the lifetime of something.... if you live for 100 years vs 500 newish implies two different time periods....

   So your life experience to life is "newish" compared to those who have lived and experienced 2x and 3x the "time period"  that you have.
We're still around because of our "experience" and judgement because of it and getting old "ain't for pussies".  :grrr:

She is a picture of mental health

'They make my blood boil': NYC psychiatrist tells woke Yale University panel she fantasizes about shooting white people in the head




Dr Aruna Khilanani, who is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, delivered the talk virtually to Yale University medical students and faculty back in April

She was invited by Yale School of Medicine's Child Study Center

Audio of the 50-minute talk was published on journalist Bari Weiss' Substack blog on Friday
She made a series of stunning comments during her talk that was largely based on the psychology behind 'whiteness'

Khilanani said she had fantasized about 'unloading a revolver into the head of any white person' who got in her way

She went on to say that white people feel they are being bullied when people of color bring up race
At various other points, she described white people as being 'out of their minds' and said that they make her 'blood boil'
