NY prosecutor: Jeffrey Epstein found dead at 66, suspect to be arraigned in secret court

All white people are racist and, far from absolving them, this places an urgent burden on each and all. Anyone who thinks this statement is wrong, or that it needs further qualification that could weaken our understanding of it, or that it makes “racism” a powerless word: find some place else to debate it. If your first reaction is ever to deny an accusation of racism rather than listen and learn, this is the wrong sub.

We’ve had a strong public understanding of how bias affects us all at least as far back as “The Doll Test” made famous in Brown v. Board of Education. Decades of research since have developed our knowledge in this field. Implicit bias tests are a well-known modern example, and the body of research is far stronger than what trickles into pop culture.

It would also be true to say “all people are biased.” True in the same way that “all people are dying” would be a true reply to an LGBT activist in the 80s who dared to say “HIV/AIDS patients are dying.” Truly a distraction from a more urgent issue that deserves separate consideration. We all absorb society’s toxic programming, but the US sheriff running self-described concentration camps and the US president pardoning him for related charges are not people of color who failed the doll test in Brown. In a discussion about white racism, raising the “everyone does it” flag is misleading at best, almost always derailing, and weakens the critical efforts of anti-racism.

Decent white people (the ones we’ll worry about for now) make varying efforts to end racism and never wanted to benefit from their privilege. Some think it is unfair or devalues the word’s meaning to call them “racist.” It’s true that there’s an important difference between that kind of person and a Trump supporter or other Nazis. We won’t end racism, though, if we fail to acknowledge its more “decent” formulations. Otherwise decent people who shy away from this label lose out on its insights and its demands.

Just what are decent white people to do then? Acknowledging one’s own racism isn’t about shame or self-flagellation, responses that unduly elevate white people and their experiences. White people will have to get in line and follow the march for racial equality, because the question isn’t answered, the solution isn’t here yet.

Even the most altruistic white advocate for racial justice or any cause stops advocating somewhere. There’s no easy answer for how much of ourselves to give to our causes, but for white people this is a cause that they give to, while for minorities it is a life that they experience. White people go home, eat, sleep, look after their own well being in ways no one could fault them, yet even so that is a (very reasonable) decision to prioritize their needs, in this case, over the needs of people of color. That’s not wrong. It’s also not a choice anyone else can make. Black skin can’t be shrugged off while more mundane needs are attended. White racism is not over until people no longer have to make a daily decision to put racial justice down and prioritize something else, promising to come back to it later.

In light of the above, a summary of our community standards might be:

  1. Do not debate or undermine the existence or urgency of white racism.

  2. Debate as appropriate what solutions should look like. But no self-pity about how white racism is a challenge for otherwise decent white folk.

Stickying this was a true janny power move.

This kind of shit is dangerous. I realize you're just trolling, but this has real world repercussions. We have to stand strong against the ideologically-possessed demons of the Left.

Interesting history you got there

I'm honestly convinced you have a severe learning disability. The poor reading comprehension, the inability to grasp points, the forming of strong opinions on subjects you have no understanding of.

It all adds up.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

The problem with people is not too much ideology, it is a lack of ideology leading to nihilism. You can never have enough ideology.

I get all of mine from Jordan Memerson.

I got mine from Soviet bus safety tutorials

*sniff* *sniff* that's pure ideology!

Why you talk like a fag lmao

I wish telling people to off themselves was still an acceptable thing

Ya but black people are the only truly oppressed people in America. Everyone else just deals with inconveniences.

The fact that no one commented on this gay shit gave it away as a fake

Damn it, you got my drama boner excited for a moment 😢

I don't know about you, but I haven't been able to sleep most nights since the election. I usually wake up gasping for air, covered in piss, and sobbing. Its been too many nights that trump has mind raped me in my nightmares, I swear I can still smell the cheeto dust that covers his disgusting little fingers. My nonbinary kin has asked me countless times, "dahdee, is the bad orange man going to get us?" "I'm not sure honey, well just have to see." I mean, what kind of world do we live in where a 5 year old has to ask that?

Well I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of seeing what will happen. It is clear that trump has completely taken control of not only the government, but also the average stupid American. THIS STOPS NOW! This man is Hitler in every sense of the word. FUCKING HITLER!!! His followers are all confirmed KKK radicals. I will not stand by while his fascism leads us down the path into literal Nazi fucking Germany. This is why I propose my final solution to save America from the cheeto man's Nazi army of incest.

First off, us revolution fighters have to be able to identify ourselves so we unite. I propose that we take the Indian symbol of prosperity ( http://imgur.com/8Q0cYRX ) and wrap it around our arms. This symbol will be the face of our revolution. We will prosper!

Second, we must take the fight to the Nazi's! We will go door to door and take them from their homes! We will round them up, put them into camps, and exterminate the plague that destroys the true Americana fundementals! It's important to remember that 85% of white men are confirmed nazi's, so to be safe we will be imprisoning every disgusting white man that we find. Asian men too because their GDP is pretty high.

After eradicating the infectious disease of white privledge, we will storm the white house and eliminate cheeto man himself. This is the only way to save America. This is the only way to get rid of the nazis and their radical, brutal idealogies.

I call on you fellow warriors. I call on you to save America. We will be meeting at the local Starbucks, be there or be Nazi'd.

Viva La Revolución Comrade!

Fuk u janny you cannot bamboozle me again

the fuck

Nigga I ain't reading all that dumb shit you just wrote. Wasted my time and yours.

Ma,am, this is a Wendys.

I know this is copypasta but why do people classify themselves in such groups? Ultimately life is suffering and you simply choose sides, thats all it is and will ever be. There is no such thing as fair, as then it would unfair to somebody else. Why not claim a different group? And protect needs of that group not based on race. It's you. We are all human, but you are the ego of which is protected, then your family and friends. It does not go beyond that if you are to care of your ego. Ultimatly all life is one and it's simply suffering all burning, an eternal flame of which existence simply is, which no escape other then end of life. Death is only the end of your ego.

being so stupid you think racism cannot apply to white people and means anything other than prejudice based on race because you can't distinguish between personal racism and systemic racism (the latter of which involves a power dynamic and cannot apply to Rosa Salazar white people, although systemic classism still is) all while spewing blatantly racist shit about white people.

Imagine it
