And black people for decades have been pointing the finger at other nationalities trying to tell them what they can and can't do, what's the difference? I've grown past being perpetually offended all the time. It's a joke, and large part of the reason we are dead last right now. Maybe those fingers should turn around 180 degrees and point at ourselves as the source of our problems and redirect that same energy into making something of positive of our lives.Originally Posted by red mpls

that's honestly the weakest cop out available.
"i didnt know"
im 10000000% sure none of these blackface costumes would be wore to the inner-city nor a mostly black neighborhood...
they keep it in the suburbs and the white frat houses.....and get real awkward infront of black people.
ive seen it with my own two eyes since 2001 on the campus of The Ohio State University.
its a weak cop out and its irrelevant either way.
the USA didnt know what was going to happen when invading middle eastern countries,
no way you can criticize them for invading countries, they simply didnt know it was going to be a huge embarassing failure.
%!!! outta here.
they know.
heres a wild idea
how about they just dont do it because people say its offensive
why are people arguing "nah, you're not really offended."
or "nah, this isnt offensive"
PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY BLACKFACE
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TELL THEM THEY ARENT OFFENDED OR ITS NOT OFFENSIVE WHEN THEY ARE OFFENDED?
WHY ARE YOU ARGUING?
STOP OFFENDING PEOPLE
dont argue once you offend someone, just apologize and gain perspective as to not offend them again.
ive literally typed the same thing 3 times and people arent even reading it...just posting "i dont think its racist because they dont know the history"
when i told yall 6 pages ago intent is irrelevant.
but keep flapping them ignorant gums....er...flicking them ignorant fingers.
I said the same thing but was ignored also.
White folks have been the ones telling Black people what's good for them, what they need, how they should feel, what they shouldn't be offended by, etc. for centuries in this country (and around the world). I know you feel like you don't have to, but please start listening to your brothers and sisters of color.
Like I said before, PRIVILEGE AND ENTITLEMENT ARE A MOTHER %+$%$$ and this thread serves as ample proof.
Mogs in here feel so privileged and entitled that they aren't even the slightest bit conscious of it and can't even recognize it.
Let's talk about black privilege though. We can participate in mainstream institutions, yet we still maintain all of our own "black only" ones. If anything ever doesn't go our way, anyone doesn't agree with us, something doesn't work out how we'd like it, race card! It's a crutch and it is WAY overused. Previous generations had far less freedoms and opportunities and made more of them. Then when we're not as successful as others, we try to undermine their hard work that got them there by insinuating, or hell flat out accusing, that it's all just a result of their skin color and handouts, and of course that they are racist.
We act is other races owe us an apology for being more successful.
Our whole way of thinking is filled with so many backasswards, double standard ridden, logical fallacies it's hard to imagine us ever overcoming and stopping the current regression we are going through.
There's no introspection. Everything is just a result of racism and the white man.
First step to solving a problem is admitting you have one, and the black community isn't even at that step 1 yet.
