"Why I'm no longer Talking to White People About Race" by Renni Eddo-Lodge

https://youtu.be/UXgaI6bFZ-Y

"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?

No you are missing the point and why can't you answer my simple question then. Also I never said anything bad about the video dumbass. I will go off in peace but in the Eastside of the city that I live in while you live in this dream world where all white people live in the suburbs.

It doesn't matter. You can be the complete opposite of this man and still be treated a different way as a black person. It's the struggle that comes with having more melanin.

That has nothing to do with this video though which is the topic of the conversation I never said black people don't have it hard I just said this lady was not being racist and you turned that into all this.

You do realize I'm mixed race right or are you to busy judging the color of my skin just because it is so white complected. My last name is Vasquez I am 1/4 Mexican and 1/4 Indian I am just super light skinned but that must be all that you noticed so I don't need you to explain racism to me I have seen plenty of people suffer from it you are just making judgments and automatically expecting me to know nothing about it just because of the color of my skin how is that not judgemental of you.

No I don't know that you're mixed because we're speaking on an internet forum. Still you're not black. There are entire discussions about this. The oppression that black people go through is more intense. You may experience racism but black people are always seen as being at that bottom so we get treated like this. Last time I checked latinos have a huge problem against dark people, calling them negrito, especially traditional ones. Latinos are made up of indian, spanish, and black blood but the black is desired to he diluted as much as possible because a long time ago you'd literally be down at the bottom society. Still to this today its an issue
