My fam trynna say white privilege doesn’t exist, I think they should start calling it black disadvantage so white people can shut the f*** up
Nah I don't think any concessions need to be made on your end. If you have the patience, to continue to try to bring those members of ur family to your side, then do so. Especially the younger ones that might be more susceptible to compassion and more educated ways of thinking.
The system was built for so many years by whites, for whites (men + with property initially), so to say that white privilege doesn't exist when it controlled (and still does control) the media, news, companies that chose and decided not to hire Black people and women (another part of the white supremacist issue which is also patriarchal and misogynist) for years, it establishes a pattern of white privilege that isn't so easily erased with the right to vote or the civil rights movement.
People don't wanna hear that though, no one wants to swallow their pride and admit they're wrong.
Your thinking can be heavily influenced by white supremacy, as it is a plague on the mind of the world and most if not all societies, and not know it.
You can see something extremely racist and think "Hey that's wrong," and still be complicit in more subtle forms of racism as well as have racist views internalized.
Yup, it's even more subtle these days. We didn't make the "ghetto" but they blame us for it
Snipers in Philly?
This is now common practice for police. It’s to combat mass shooters, if they were to arise.

It is a conscious effort on everyone's part that can have an effect, to change it, but the power imbalance is often glaring
Idk this stuff should be common sense.
I think at bare minimum, everyone ITT ought to equip themselves with the ability to shut down these flimsy arguments about "what about black on black crime" because saying this, often by whites, assumes that white folks know what its like to be black and have a black psyche in America. And thats something that white folks should not assume, but rather acknowledge that it is inevitable, in a country with such a lack of justice and resources for those that need it, for communities to succumb to less than perfect ways of being--when they've been de-prioritized and disproportionately targeted as the "other," and associated with crime for so long.
why is there so many bigoted angry white degenerate never had a physical fight in their lives pussies in the gaming community?
i feel they have just use this as an excuse to let off their steam which they normally would in online gaming or w/e
what losers and i'm not slagging off the entire gaming community, but there's most definitley a sub-culture where these virgins want to be edgy and blame all their problems on everyone but themselves.
They’re most definitely missing brain cells

I don't like how this thread is slowing down.
Today was prolly the biggest turn out so far though.
I do feel like the media is covering it less as well, but that's because the protests are starting and ending peaceful this weekend.

Let’s be honest here a lot of these geezers only watched to see what the police would do. Since there haven’t been any real conflicts lately (at least not on the streams, I’m aware of videos stating otherwise) the thread loses traffic.
They really got mans outta there
Are protests still going strong in everyone else's cities? Still going in memphis
They really got mans outta there
Mans got ejected out his own city
Crazy protest in Columbus.
White protesters have surrounded the black protesters for protection and the curfew has been lifted.
S*** so beautiful.
