Originally posted by Hypatia_Alexandria View PostI do agree with that.
I would also point out that racism is a cultural construct.
We all need to remember that we all started off black.
I think if we are brought up by a racist, they can influence us to be racists too.
However, it can work the other way. Once we get out in society and meet other people of a different color and find them good people, we can see the error of the racists point of view; the result could hopefully result in not teaching our children to be racists.

And there are certain elements in the alt-right community who would gladly say, "hey Bubba, hold my beer and hand me my AR"."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThere was an incident near me. A white police officer accidentally turned on his dashcam and was casualling telling another officer how he was looking forward to shooting black people in the coming race war. It made me wonder how many people are thinking it but not saying it.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

All humans ar epotentially, but necessarily racist as individuals, because of the nature of being fallible human. Nonetheless our Anglo Saxon white culture is historically extremely tribal and racist.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:
go with the flow the river knows . . .

I personally don't have this hangup, but then again, I'm also not a liberal.
It's not a hangup, but it's something I need to be wary of. Recognizing that the problem exists is a good way to keep it from being a problem.

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostAs for the main thesis of the book by Robin DiAngelo I found it very interesting. I think what gets to people is that she takes a more modern sociological systems view of racism, where conservatives tend to focus on specific and very explicit actions on an individual level.
Her whole point has also been that white people tend to get unreasonable upset when critical questions are asked, and it is suggested that we have tendencies, assumptions or biases that we might not be aware of. It's this unreasonableness that she's called 'White Fragility'.

I have her book on the backburner, right now I'm reading the Oxford series on American History.
