Why can't whites be as racist as Malcolm X

I think there should be consequences for advocating racist policies.

By consequences I mean ridicule and failure at the voting box. Thankfully voting and ridiculing racist politicians are protected forms of speech.
 
its a never ending circle of hate. there will always be an idiot white dude that makes a racist statement. that statement will be heard by a black guy that over blows it and makes a huge deal out of it to the point where it makes a guy that normally would not say something racist, say something racist. which is heard by another black guy... repeat over and over and over. the only way to stop this is if you hear something racist shut up, and before you say something racist shut up lol. this will never happen though so......

Why is that blacks can say they are "proud to be black" and they can strive for racial autonomy of their communities, but whites can not?

Racism to me involves abuse of power. People of color don't have the power, but there is an ability for them to be prejudice. If white nationalists were not predatory, they would not be racist then.

A person of color calling me a cracker doesn't hold the same power as me calling someone the n word.

People who are similar on those types of lines congregate. Race is a true issue.

They can be and often are. Words may well be racist, but quiet or not so quiet actions can be much more so.

By the by, and this happens with a lot of posters here, unless you can find the perfect embodiment of predjudice and have some sort of vote so that a majority names that person so, no person can BE prejudice (Prejudice to make it even more correct). Those who have prejudice are prejudiced. The word is prejudiced. And I am serious that it is not just you doing that wrong!!!! People on several sides of this position have done that here over the 5 years I have been on and posting and you just happened to be the one I finally brought it up at!!!:jaw-dropp
 
White cultures have been indoctrinated to condemn only whites, while never condemning any other races for anything. No other races have or operate under any such self-imposed constraints.

maybe the problem is the non exitence of races.

Apparently there was in Norway yesterday. Fox News interview some of the survivors at the camp. None of them were Norwegians, all were non-White.

i guess the problem is FOX then, because here we got plenty interviews with nordic looking people.

Now that we've come this far, race is an arbitrary distinction with very little meaning. The perception of differences seem real and the cultural differences are real but in the end culture is only a social construct.

We are all human beings. We all bleed, die, suffer, morn and we all can improve each others lives by contributing to society and caring for one another. There's a lot of baggage from our history so we try and make some allowances like reverse discrimination and being less sensitive for the perceived and arbitrary "race" of whites than we are for blacks. Sadly these have unintended consequences but we do the best we can.

Focusing on the slights of white as a group is not likely to yield much in the way of progress. I would focus more on specific inequalities and injustice and let society find it's way as best it can. Think of yourself as a member of the human race and not some arbitrary distinction like the color of your skin.

That's beautiful... and white. Such Great White Compassion has created modern Detroit and a tinderbox hatred for whites like never before, no matter how many whites are regularly condemned as "racist."

How has compassion "created modern Detroit" and a "tinderbox hatred for whites like never before".

That is NOT the result of compassion but the opposite of it. Prior to that blacks were segregated, denied basic fundamental rights and lynched (see strange fruit).

So you will forgive me if your rhetoric does not move me. We will only achieve prosperity and peace when we get rid of such outdated modes of thinking.

  • Hating black people won't solve anything.
  • Clinging to the failed policies of racial segregation or silly notions of race superiority won't solve anything.
 
A lot of the problems in Detroit is due to white flight. Hardly an example of white compassion.

If you look at the historical record you'll find that that has been a matter of opinion.

Detroit is in it's current state due to (mostly white owned) business flight that occurred during the 60s and 70s after deindustrialization and the white flight that was spurred by the Civil Rights movement (no more racial housing covenants and the like).

Once the businesses left the infrastructure left and the down trodden black population left behind never re-claimed the industry or made a sizable small business presence. Hence the Detroit economy crumbled.

True. A lot of racist love to point to Detroit as some sort of case study for the results of black occupation of a city when it reality it's testament to the importance of industry and ownership.

Well, it has more to do with outsourcing killing the domestic economy. Those who could afford it left, those who couldn't...

I wouldn't say that. That is likely a current catalyst for economic instability in todays economy but the problem in Detroit originated long ago in the decades succeeding WW2.
