You’re going right past the main point. You’re talking about plain, old- fashioned Civil Rights. I’m talking about the potential backlash for white people if the endless penchant for racialized violence continues period.  Civil Rights or not!

The tone you give off is of someone who will “listen” to what the black people have to say...and then go right on talking, as if they haven’t said anything of any actual value.

And I’m trying to save you from repeatedly getting cussed out and insulted and not having a hint as to why it keeps happening.

It was Columbus getting the permission of the Church that started this enormous out-of-control snowball rolling down the hill in the first place.

Are you even aware that the original purpose of this site is to give voice to stories and information pertinent to African Americans, that they would otherwise not be exposed to on other MSM news sites?

By the way, what exactly does “People Under The Stairs” have to do with survival of the human species anyway???

Sorry, but the continuing existence of very widespread racialized white violence makes what you propose a rather far-off luxury.  And it’s a luxury that white people themselves cannot afford.  Because the potential consequences of that violence are silently getting more and more urgent for so-called whites by the…

That’s ONE single movie from almost 30 years ago. You’ll have to do a hell of a lot better than that to not unintentionally sound like someone mindlessly trying to defend a status quo that millions of people can clearly see with their own eyes.

If we don’t at some point in the debate, trace it back to the exact start of institutionalizing that fake-ass whiteness business in the Colonial courts, and the immense poison pill that it was to become, then virtually everything else we say on the subject (whether intentionally or not) ends up being either…

The question remains. What happens when POC inevitably get fed up with always being the disproportionate (and virtually always violent...if not deadly) victims of those dirty underhanded tricks? Whether it’s being the victims of unarmed police shootings, or mass incarcerations, or regularly being excluded from…

I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE answering variations of this question!

Only if you conveniently ignore everything that has happened in American history since about 1491 onward.

From the mouth of the great Mr Baldwin himself:

I’m clearly not following you. Because outside of the folks who’ve been endlessly getting a major mudhole stomped in their butts every day for the last five centuries, I tend to not see too many other folks listening period.

Where the US is concerned, in the 1680s there were not twin monsters born. There was very, very specifically only one hideous abomination that was spawned in the courts of the Colonies. Race.

A very rational and truthful analysis. Unfortunately, white supremacy is (and has always been) highly irrational. Therefore, no matter how factual, it will fall on mostly deaf ears.

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!

Michael,

The debate will always be mostly moot until so-called white people themselves finally make the decision to reject the five-century-old, fake notion that the concept of supposedly genetic whiteness magically bestows superior value upon their lives at birth. And lesser value on others.

Simply elegant, and elegantly simple.
