Misconceptions Based on Race, 'Genetics', et. al.

So why are those stereotypes accepted and embraced but if I say black folks like fried chicken and watermelon would get me labeled a racist?

If it matters I like fried chicken and watermelon too and I'm not black, but I think most people do regardless of race lol...

But there are certain cultural aspects that are true.... Some are positive and some are negative but truth is truth...

Why does it even matter?

Look I'm just honest man, I don't care about what is PC -- I'm not going to limit myself based on the notion I may offend someone for speaking the truth.

Truth is knowledge and with knowledge comes wisdom....

Yea, sometime the truth hurts and can be inconvenient for an agenda or position but it is still truth...

Perhaps I'm just the odd duck in society lol.

 

Quite true......truth does not matter to those consumed with political correctness....they prefer to pursue their agenda and will quite willingly deceive or attempt to deceive in order to maintain the liberal narrative.

I would suggest to the resident Negro that he could better spend his time....his problem is that he is stuck in the past and does not even know the past...so he is stuck in a perceived reality....aka one that never existed.....irregardless......rather than concentrating on that past and trying to rectify what he perceives as injustice.....he should concentrate on what the negroes can do to improve their miserable condition.....and face reality...not all negroes can be sports stars or movie stars or musical stars........even though such are perceived as role models....quite ridiculous..

I think the African Immigrants point the way for American Blacks.....they come here innately knowing there is a great opportunity....they pursue it to the best of their ability and most of them are quite successful....in other woids.....they work hard and do not blame da white man for holding dem down.

 

At one time, the stereotyping of Black people in America made it ok in the minds of people to systematically massacre Black men, women, and children in their own towns. Certain stereotypes were used in cartoons to dehumanize Blacks and therefore ok to mistreat.

The chicken and watermelon stereotype was to denigrate Black people trying to make a living selling chicken and watermelon at one time. By attacking their source of living through stereotypes, some felt it ok to then physically attack their stands and other set-ups. Doing this helped undermine Black economics.

When people use fried chicken and watermelon as a stereotype against Blacks, it really is a reference to a time period of economic sabotage.

While some cultural aspects are true, I personally wish people would realize that some stereotypes are actually attacks against groups.

Stereotypes matter because perception is everything. It becomes real difficult to make a living when the stereotypes are against you.

 

What a bunch of nonsense. Anyone can think up lots of reasons why they fail....playing the blame game only insures you will never succeed. Latching onto crap that is put out by hollywood, the media and fictional writers all the way back to 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' produces a persecution complex based on fiction....tell it to the African Immigrants.....they will laugh at you.....they know what it takes to be sucessful in America and it is not wringing your wrists over perceieved insults, injustice or prejudice........anyone can think that and it is not limited to the minorities...plenty of white folk fail because they play the blame game....always blaming their failures on someone else...usually their parents....bottom line anyone that wants to succeed today needs to basically do two things....get a good education and work hard and do not get caught up in the blame game.

 

Who cares really?

I didn't do anything to anyone and you're talking about the past..... My generation is way different.

 

Listen up, I just gave a historical reference to the poster's question. That said, let's analyze your post, shall we?

You are (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing and complaining about God knows what and have the nerve to talk about what you perceive as another race's persecution complex! Really? You plagued this thread with anti-Black rhetoric over and over and you rarely address the actual post you quote. You actually are an active part of the persecution. No, it's not all in a minority's head.

And, please get back to the tone of this thread. *******n.

 

Well, the affected groups do. I don't wanna sound like an (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*), but did you read what I wrote?


Perception is everything. Negative stereotypes make it harder to make a living.

 

The african and black carribeans seem to do quite well....quit whining and go to work. Before the feds stepped in to babysit da blacks....there was very little black un-employment.....now way tooooo many of them sit around waiting on the mailman to deliver dere gubmint checks....many of them have aliases to get several checks and they bribe the mailman not to snitch on them.

BTW How many un-armed white men were killed by negroes in 2011?

Doesn't this blow a major hole in the IQ/performance talking point? Remember, a population with a supposed average of 70 IQ outperforming those with Caucasian DNA like there's no tomorrow.

Either European DNA is not all it's cracked up to be or you have a gapping hole in your IQ spiel. Let me know how you'll concede.

And how many un-armed white men were killed by Blacks in 2011?
Um, probably the same amount of un-armed Blacks killed by White cops that year?

 

Look here felix.....working hard, studying hard and trying to do the right thing can overcome many obstables like for example low i.q......many negroes have become quite sucessful despite having a low i.q. and likewise whites....not all whites are above average intelligence wise.

The common denominator for failure is not low i.q. it is and usually in this order....laziness, failing to get a good education or learn a marketable skill, engaging in too much drinking or dope taking, other assorted criminal activities and having a sense of entitlement deluding one into believing that society owes him a living.

BTW once again you demonstrate you are ignoring evidence presented.....I think that is why very few bother trying to discuss anything with you.

Try and wrap your head around this>>>>

Well, perhaps people need to grow the (*)(*)(*)(*) up and get over it...

I'm tired of being demonized for (*)(*)(*)(*) I didn't do and had nothing to do with...

I was born in 1980..... All I see are a bunch of clowns looking to capitalize on their race - people just looking for trouble or are looking for preferential treatment that are too lazy to earn their way though life...

Racism is bull...

The people I know that say what you would consider racists aren't even racists - they're just sick of this nonsense.... It's crazy...

My generation isn't (*)(*)(*)(*)ing racist...

Now "leftists" really need to let the "racism" go and they need to stop talking about (*)(*)(*)(*) that happened before they were even born...

geez...

 

"Face to Face With Race"

This is a book about the reality of race in America. It is a collection of 14 reports by ordinary Americans, whose conventional illusions were shattered by harsh experience. These authors have come face to face with the sobering reality that awaits us as our country ceases to have a white majority, and becomes increasingly black and Hispanic.

"Face to Face with Race offers a glimpse into the dark reality behind the happy slogans of "diversity" and "inclusiveness," as beleaguered whites cope as best they can with the foolish, poisonous, and occasionally lethal policies imposed on them by judges and politicians."


"This is a collection of moving, often heartrending, reports from the front lines of racial battlegrounds in America."
--Byron M. Roth, Professor Emeritus, Dowling College, and author of The Perils of Diversity

"These first-person accounts are more powerful and compelling than any of the hundreds of articles about race I have written from an armchair perspective."
--Jared Taylor, Editor of American Renaissance

"This is a unique collection of stories about inter-racial relations gone bad. The authors warn that eventually, when the United States has a colored majority, almost all whites will face similar problems."
--Raymond Wolters, Thomas Muncy Keith Professor of History, University of Delaware

"Face to Face with Race is a haunting picture of racial reality. Unless we act soon, this is the future in store for all of us."
--Peter Brimelow, Editor of VDARE.com and author Alien Nation

MrNick, how does one get over someone else's perceptions?


And you know, you can probably do a search against my username and look for the word "racist." I haven't used that word against anyone here because I don't like being accused of using it ever.

And yes, racism is bull.

 

Your first paragraph demonstrates how to mitigate the limitations of performance related to IQ, yet you see no reason to give environment/culture its credit. Again.

BTW, this particular thread isn’t supposed to be a discussion. It is supposed to be a listing of stereotypes, misconceptions, etc. based on race and me giving my reasons why I believe each listed race-based idea is wrong. Participants are free to add on and contribute in the same manner. If there are any objections, they should be as solid and as evidenced-based as possible. What I am witnessing, is you trying to hijack the thread by filling it with psycho white-nationalist propaganda instead of continuing with the tone/style of the thread.

To your last statement, I addressed your evidence and did NOT dismiss it. I acknowledged your post (as true) and responded directly to the blacks killing unarmed whites. What response are you looking for?

 

I'm tired of whites being called racist for not bowing down to blacks or for not being "sensitive"...

Blacks are equal but that isn't enough for them - they want to be unique...

 

Well, I'm one less person to worry about calling anyone that.

 

You're generalizing which is racist. Insulting people because of their race is racist and no one is asking you to bow down to Blacks.

 

Do you even know what racism actually is?

 

I know exactly what racism is. If you need help you can look it up in the dictionary. Racism is hatred or intolerance based on race.

 

No it's not.... Racism is the idea that one race feels superior to another race...

 

That's the traditional dictionary definition however you don't need to believe in the superiority of your race over another to be hateful or intolerant of another race. Most racists believe in some form of racial supremacy however some do not, some will say they just believe in racial differences without any notion of feeling superior. Some people might not even believe in differences and just believe that it's ok for them not to like a race based on culture. There are also malicious racists and benign racists. A malicious racist will hate and even want to harm someone of another race. A benign racist might just not care for someone of another race and not think that they are racist. But they ARE racist because they are being intolerant.

For example there are a lot of people that are against interracial relationships. They say they don't hate people of other races and might even have a friend or two of another race but if their son or daughter were to date interracially they would have a problem with that. That is benign racism. Racism without the hateful feelings. You don't even have to believe in racial superiority to be a benign racist. You just have bigoted opinions about social interaction and race.

 

People are people.

Some smart...some brilliant...some dumb as a bag or rocks.

Race has nothing to do with it.

No you don't.

 

Yes you do. You can't just look at someone and assume you know everything about their beliefs, behavior and life experiences. You can make certain assumptions based on appearance but you could also be wrong and your prejudice is not fair to the individual.
