I think idiots started racism in the US and its perpetuated by idiots.

Unfortunately there is no legal cure for stupid.
plenty of our founding fathers were slave owners, and demonstrably NOT idiots.

it is way more structural than you ascribe.

Isnt that basically what you just did in one of the above posts?
You said something like because of history and past you can see why black people do not like white people.
So because of past racism, it justifies present racism.. Either way I have three views on the subject.

1. Thank god you are in America, living in America as a free people now.
Beats the living hell out of whats going on in the mess of a continent Africa.
Prime example of why some people feel the way they do...thank you althor I knew your dumb ass could show us how its done. Are you still predicting presidential elections by the outcome of football games.

That seems like a throwaway answer. I was hoping you'd be interested in constructive dialog. Once again, you've shown me wrong.



OK, since London doesn't want to play, I'll ask you. What do i need to do or say to have a full place at the discussion table, without either invoking or being tagged with crimes of the grandfathers? cn
Sorry I don't answer the why you want..but the answer is in my post

2. Racism will always exist in some ways. Thick skin goes a long way. Black comedians make white jokes in almost every act, if it is funny, I laugh as do most other white people. I dont know how to word it, but basically there is a pride that is missing that makes it OKAY. I will say, that is something that is caused by the way black people have been treated for generations. It has been ground out of them and passed on generation to generation and is slowly coming back. Until it does, racism will not be "defeated".
3. Every race, religion, creed, etc.etc. at some point has been conquered and enslaved by some other race,religion, nation, etc.
It was the way the world worked for 1000s of years. It just so happened that the most prominent, wide-spread, legal slavery was Africans. Slavery is still going on to this very day, funny you dont see African Americans taking up the cause to root it out.
basically...

1. blacks should be happy we enslaved them and brought them here. slavery was a blessing for them.
2. blacks need to grow thicker skin.
3. blacks are hypocrites and need to move on.

did i miss anything?

Thank you for that. I recognize that you are not Londonfog. I just hope that he recognizes I am not Althor. I don't want to be albatrossed with his more recent post, because I don't see it that way. Fwiw. cn

Slave owners don't necessarily need to be racist.

Just because you consider one class as slaves isn't to say you hate black people for the colour of their skin. That's illogical and a false equivalency.

no I'm not saying that...just have to be honest in your conversation and stop talking in riddles if we are to have an open dialogue
Here we go again. I see you being defensive and inscrutable. I will repeat my question. As a white male who cannot have had a familial involvement with racism in America, what do I need to do to not be lumped with the racists, either overt or cryptic ... and be granted full stature in the dialog? As one who lives in this nation, I reject "not your problem" as an unwarranted dismissal.

sometimes with your snide remarks I do view you a certain way..so I treat you as such...honesty can maybe actually help here
I don't see myself as being snide. I delight in wit, but snideness carries a superior, sneering, destructive connotation. That has never been my style ... if you read without preconception. cn
