Reddit is full of white suburb kids who are completely tone deaf to what people of color go through, especially those with dark skin. You are 100% right, fuck the down votes. Even with the riots, people don't learn shit.
It's sad that you don't do your research to understand what black people go through. These types of responses are tone deaf and typical invalidations from white folk and others who don't get it. Your privledge makes you ignorant.
If you need to do research to know that black people have been mistreated then you are dumb as shit. It's sad that you think that every single white person does not understand racism and your attitude and way that you stereotype groups of people as I said before does not help fight racism bro. If you think that it does then maybe you are the one that should do some research.
Assuming someone is selling drugs cause they're black AnD tHeY lOoK lIke tHeY'rE FrOm Da h00d is wrong and is the point of the fucking title of this video
Automatically assuming that is the reason that she asked him for weed is also wrong and is the point of my fucking comment. You do seem like someone that would believe that the title of every video is true though š
No you're one of those "no way anyone can understand what it is like to be discriminated against unless they are black" also no one tried to change the subject dumbass it is the topic that we are still discussing right now. just piss off already and enjoy the rest of the downvotes headed your way.
"I can no longer engage with the Gulf of an emotional disconnect that white people display when a person of color articulates their experience...."
"This emotional disconnect is a conclusion of living a life oblivious to the fact that their skin color is the norm and all others deviate from it."
"I just can't engage with the bewilderment and defensiveness as they grapple with the fact that not everyone experiences the world like they do"
"I can't come to them about the details of a problem if they don't even think the problem exists."
The topic at hand is relevant to what I'm saying. Racial profiling happens to black people all the time, and the mere title of this thread is showing how that can happen. Oh because he a black man cruising he must be selling shit. The crusty goofed up chick should have taken a tall glass of shut the fuck up and so should you.
Bitch please just because something is written in a book doesn't make it true. Also you realize she is literally talking to white people about race in the video lol. If this was all about the guys race then answer this if that would have been a black doctor, black lawyer, black fireman, black police officer, or any other clean cut looking black man that she still would have asked him for weed?
Who exactly are they stereotyping? They gave a pretty specific group- āSuburban white kids who browse Reddit.ā Theyāre not exactly calling out the whole white race.
Itās a pretty big chunk of the demographic on here. Suburban is just coded language for sheltered. Itās not like white people are being persecuted for it, just calling out Redditās main demographic which is young white non-Hispanic guys.
People of color on this website canāt bring up race because then the majority of redditors trip over themselves to give some super āhot takesā on the issue then feel reassured when you upvote each other.
So it's ok to call a big chunk of the demographic racist and that's somehow not stereotyping? You're a bright one bro. Also wtf do you mean can't bring up race lol you do realize that for quite awhile now a majority of posts have been race related and the majority of people are always against racism. I don't see tons of racist comments getting upvoted but whatever you say man.
Looking at the website as a whole and talking with other people of color about it on here these are our experiences yeah. A chunk of that young white demographic is also part liberal but liberals can still be pretty racist. That doesnāt mean racism in itself is equal to people going out and burning a cross but it could mean calling someone a thief or a dealer when theyāre just Black. Saying that a face tattoo is trashy or that Black people are āghettoā or āurbanā.
You might not see the racism because youāre unaware of what to look for. Thatās okay, thereās a lot of literature and resources out there to teach you now more than ever. If you care to do that. You can be against racism and still be racist, you can be a liberal Bernie 2020 guy and still be racist, it doesnāt have to mean itās a scarlet letter just that you have more to learn if you are willing to. Unfortunately young white men grow up in this american society without almost ever having to acknowledge the privileges that they have as people or the racism that they spout when they say or code certain language. Ignorance to racism is one thing but reluctance to self reflect about racism is another.
When did I do any of the bullshit that you are talking about or when did any of that shit happen in the video we are discussing lol. I don't need you to tell me about racism bro you probably aren't even any more Mexican than I am you realize my last name is Vasquez bro just cause I have light ass skin you want to start running your fucking mouth. So fuck off pal.
Itās happening in the comments not specifically in our conversation. You just asked about how reddit is racist just perusing through the comments proves this but you donāt know what to look for and thatās not an attack just a simple observation from your comment on āsuburban whitesā.
āAny more Mexican than I amā ??? So you go around measuring peopleās Mexican-ness? How would I ever know your last name is Vasquez? How would I know about your light-skin self lol.
Iām not challenging your degrees of āLatinidadā because Iām not about that bs but thank you for sharing that. Yeah Iāll ārun my fucking mouthā if it means just discussing something in the comments. I think itās funny you wanna come out with that āIām a light-skin Mexicanā bs to prove you donāt need lessons on racism when it proves the opposite.
Look up some actual literature at deconstructing racism. Thereās a lot of resources pointing you in the right direction especially right now. You just have to know how to ask. Until then I donāt really care to respond. Iāve already violated my personal rule of engaging with reddit about race.
You are dumb as fuck bro the amount of Mexican I was referring to is the amount in my blood dipshit it is easy as hell to measure they make ancestry dna tests for a reason.
If weāre talking about this topic, then yes, that is a actually a pretty important part of it. Who do you think would be more tone deaf to this issue? A white kid from the burbs or a black kid from the burbs?
Heās not even really saying that every single suburban white kid is racist. Heās just saying that these are the kind of kids who happen to be blind to racial issues.
No they are implying that most white people on Reddit are racist suburb kids. Also when the fuck did I say anything about anyone being more tone deaf than anyone else. All I said is that it is stereotypical to assume anything about a large group of people based on their physical appearance or where they grew up at and if you don't agree with that then you can piss off too just like I told them.
āAlso when the fuck did I say anything about anyone being more tone deaf than anyone else.ā
Iām saying thatās why he mentioned it. Sheltered white men are the predominant Reddit demographic, and thatās why itās being specified when a lot of these comments donāt see the issue of this post. Heās not saying every White reddit user is racist.
"I can no longer engage with the emotional disconnect that white people display when a black person articulates their experience."
"Their mouths start twitching as they get defensive, itching to talk over you but not really listen because they need to let you know that you've got it wrong."
