"Whites are the victim of racism" a common lament of the right wing whites. Is it true? Nope. It is false. But, quotas, yada, yada, yada. Racism is about the exercise of power by the group who has the power over a specific race who doesn't have the power. Are whites a majority in the USA? Yes. Do whites have the power in the USA? Yes. Did Obama, a mixed race man get elected? Yes...because of the white vote, not because of the black and minority vote. Did whites vote for Obama? Yes, they did. If all whites voted for McCain, he would be president. So, our democracy...and subsequently our government voted in Obama and Obama gets to select his administration. Where is the power? In the hands of the whites, who control the money, the media, the political elections, etc. Who is complaining? The right wing whites...because they hate it when they lose power of any kind. Sure, the truth is the white man invaded America, subjugated the red man, bought and sold the black man, treated women like property. The right wing white man has practiced racism from the beginning, until the good white men/women stood up against the actions of the white racists and white sexists, who now comprise the right wing of the republican party. So is there racism against whites, when the government was elected by whites, has the power to change the government, has the power to impeach judges and any elected official? No, because whites still have the power. The real problem is the right wing rights want to return to the time before there was any progress in race relations by giving opportunity previously denied to anyone but white males...there is no racism being practiced against whites. Whites still have more opportunity and power than any minority group. Anything else is just another right wing lie. If they had their way, there would be a one party system in America...the white right wing party.
Are you serious? I hope you are just being a troll and don't really believe this. Skin color does not control power, money does. And money is what got Obama elected, hedge fund money. Bank money. Lot's of money. The color of money is green, not white. And the majority have never controlled the masses. The few always have. The few being the rich elites. I would venture a guess that maybe 5 people in this country are responsible for 99% of the decisions made in government. It's not color you race baiter, it's money. Like Bob Woodward once said, follow the money. Try harder next time when you race bait. This was too f*cking easy.
Which race has the money? The white race. The majority (whites) have the power to elect the president, etc. The whites therefore have the power to elect government who write the laws. The power is in the hands of the white man. The right wingers just can't handle it that some of the white men (and women) have evolved beyond the 18th century... The white race has the money, and they have the power, so there is no racism against whites... When whites have the power, there is no act of racism against the white race by another race. Your argument just got nuked...the white race has the power in America on every level.
Wow, either jail was really hard on him or his age is really starting to affect him. I mean, his arguments have mostly always been bullshit, but the quality of the argument he formulates is really starting to decay. Oh well, I guess that's what old age + time in the joint do to you..
Hispanics: A Statistical Portrait Income and Wealth Per capita income of Hispanics is one half that of non-Hispanic whites, and household net worth is less than one tenth. Fifty percent of Hispanic households use some form of welfare, the highest rate of any major population group. Crime Hispanics are 3.3 times more likely to be in prison than whites; they are 4.2 times more likely to be in prison for murder, and 5.8 times more likely to be in prison for felony drug crimes. Young Hispanics are 19 times more likely than young whites (and slightly more likely than young blacks) to be in youth gangs. Education Hispanics drop out of high school at three times the white rate and twice the black rate. Even third-generation Hispanics drop out of school at a higher rate than blacks and are less likely to be college graduates. From 1992 to 2003, Hispanic illiteracy in English rose from 35 percent to 44 percent. The average Hispanic 12th-grader reads and does math at the level of the average white 8th-grader. Families and Health At 43 percent, the Hispanic illegitimacy rate is twice the white rate, and Hispanic women have abortions at 2.7 times the white rate. Hispanics are three times more likely than whites not to have medical insurance, and die from AIDS and tuberculosis at three times the white rate. In California, the cost of free medical care for illegal aliens forced 60 hospitals to close between 1993 and 2003. Attitudes Only 33 percent of citizens of Hispanic origin consider themselves âAmericansâ first. The rest consider themselves either âHispanic/Latinoâ or their former nationality first.
No, his "point" was that racism against white people can not exist because white people have more money than non whites, and are more numerous than non whites- which is, of course, fucking stupid and he never had a point in the first place.
White are only a majority on the national scale. Most major cities whites are a minority. In many states whites are the minority. Here in the Chicago mayoral race the Blacks are desperate to unify behind a Black candidate, They have no interest in supporting a white candidate. Racism in action
No man, you're confused... If black people do it, it's not racism. It can only be racism if white people do it. If non whites do it at the expense of whites, on the basis of race, that's not racism... Ask Optional, he'll tell you...
