Oh how the tables have turned. How's it feel ***got?@!

It feels like I probably missed some lame gaming reference.

This whole white vs. non-white people thing is more of an American neurosis.
Can and should seem weird to an European.

[wall of text about why that's not funny]

It does.

I said it before. The Americans seem obsessed with race.

I see you don't like spinning tables.

How many black queens have y’all had?

Americans finna woke

I thought it was a poorly executed nein joke.

Too bad that silly **** keeps getting over the pond.

Agreed mate.

That's the thing. I watch all sorts of Youtube videos made from an American perspective. Then I look outside then window (so to speak) and it's calm and there's no drama of that sort. We've got a rather large population segment of middle eastern people, but no terror and very little strife in general.

Of course we don't have that prickly issue with slavery and such. I think it's really quite understandable that there's a lot of unrest in the US. Slavery, Jim Crow, police shootings of black citizens... completely unlike what's going on where I live - both currently and in terms of the last couple hundred years of history.

I read and watch so much that's from an American perspective, but I keep having to adjust it to what my world looks like.

We keep missing the toilet.

Doesn't matter if it's not going on where you live, you're white so you are to blame.

Every morning, I make sure to put toothpaste in my eyes and use the nail clipper to pinch my balls, so I think I deserve to live. I still need to get better at feeling shameful and inexcusable every waking hour though.

And to Puertoricans like me that don't live in the US. And it's sick to an extent that over here we almost want to adopt this problem and many others for example, when school shootings became a thing over there the news here ran a piece that some schools here are gonna be doing seminars to prevent that kinda thing which just doesn't happen here, Oh but it could happen here. There's a possibility. Be afraid.

I saw that piece and it angered me that sht might become a self fulfilling prophecy here. Same with this Race thing. Though here im still not directly affected by it im still wary its gonna get us too cause it's a big chunk of the american media we consume over here.

Why don't you brownies just vote for independence? I've never understood that. We don't care about you and as far as I know you don't care about us. Why are our countries even linked? We took you as booty from Spain and there's literally no other reason why you are still our booty.

Hey, ya gotta have booty, nomsayin? ;)
Franco would agree.

The South had Generals. The North had soldiers. They outnumbered the Confederates two to one.

What does that have to do with anything I said?

You said that more honkeys fought for slavery. The union army, which was fighting against slavery, outnumbered the confederate army 2:1.

Sorry to directly repeat it but what the hell dont you understand about that?

You’re such an elitist ****. Like the cities aren’t saturated with racism.

America's fixation with race comes from it's deep rooted history of racism that it fails to truly ever acknowledge and tries to sweep under the rug while the long term effects of it are still prevalent today.

Not only does our education system do a half assed summary of our racist history, but any time it's brought up or even current discrimination gets brought up people construe it as an attack on white people.

The biggest reason we have such a huge divide in the US is because everybody wants to talk but nobody really wants to shut the **** up and listen to each other. That's why I can't bring up discrimination against minorities with out being accused of 'white shaming'. Or why somebody can't be anti-immigration with out being accused of being a racist. That's why Donald Trump won. We're a country of loud mouthed and arrogant ignorant twats that thrive off of narcissism and spite. He's the perfect representative for us.

Non-white person exhibits ****ty, backwards worldview.
Elph: Those are a minority, plus there are tons of reasons why they are this way and it's not even really their fault.
White person exhibits ****ty, backwards worldview.
Elph: ****ingwhitepeopleracistredneckscum!!!!!111

Down with the white menace, changing lanes in our roads without using turn signals, overcooking our turkeys, making stupid posts on our internets.

1) Seriously? That’s why they’re stringing up gays?
2) You’re openly confessing you think western values are superior

:D

It's actually true and its quite bad if you think about it.

I don’t have proof but I feel like I was the first to say it.

#Occult2018 MOTY

Dude's racist in so many ways.

Ah leave Dude111 alone. He's not racist.

Curious what you think America could do to "truly acknowledge" it's racist history. Last time I checked there were no slavery deniers like you have with the holocaust. Black history month is a thing (even though it's stupid), affirmative action exists, etc.. People are still alive from the time when there was segregation between the races. From what I've seen we have consistently taken steps forward to progress race relations in this country. Expecting some miracle fix in such a short period of time is unrealistic. Also, history does a half ass job presenting our ENTIRE history, not just our racist history. You don't learn alt history until college, which I agree is a problem, but not just because it doesn't cover race issues. I fail to see the point in dredging up the past unless you use it to say, "this worked" or "this was an effective strategy" or "this had a terrible outcome". The past is in the past and does nothing to solve modern issues when taken out of context. History is a tool we learn from, not something you use to point fingers, unless you're agenda is to guilt people into getting what you want instead of actually resolving issues.

I have no anecdotal experience of people taking criticism and turning it into an attack on white people. I only see that kind of thing with radical twitter/internet morons that pervert the meaning of movements like "Black Lives Matter" to fit their own agenda.

I've seen you respond pretty reasonably in the past, hoping you can put some more consideration into my position than Elph.

Make people more aware of our history of slavery and racism, what led to it, how it lingered, and small ways that we can be unconsciously contributing to racism. Encouraging diversity to reduce implicit biases.

It can also be acknowledged and addressed by trying to end America's culture war that's seeping into virtually every issue. Promote high standards of logic and critical thinking. Reduce identity politics, thwart anti-intellectual trends. Try to point people towards healthy discussion so that they actually listen to each other instead of viewing anything that they disagree with or makes them uncomfortable as a personal attack. We need more woke mother****ers.

I guess I'm being unrealistic though.

Id like all that too.

No chance of it stopping.

Just kill everyone.

Step 1: Recognize that you are scum. Know that the likelihood of you being a ****ing idiot is 100%.
Step 2: Try not to be an idiot or scum by ignoring your dumbass instincts.
Step 3: Profit.

I do believe that the basic American history K-12 curriculum is written from a white supremacist perspective. Patriotism is white supremacy.

I also often hear how civics isn’t being taught.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective not much else is being taught either. Civics is on the docket just like math and science.

The kids who know the most about the horrors of slavery and the injustices of tyranny are the same kids who can read. And the kids who can read can read because they do read. Those kids are mostly white or first generation minorities.

Not all, but most black kids don’t know anything about any kind of history, red or yellow black and white.

We do have those people. They're not deniers in the sense that they say slavery never happened but they're deniers in the sense that they downplay how horrible and brutal it was.
