How come calling out racist activity gets called "anti-white racism" here?
Why is calling out racists, bigots and fascists a no-no?
Why do cowards always fail to face the violence of the past?

Americans have an entitled narcissism problem regardless of any identity. It's emotionally far easier, on the fragile ego of people who cannot build a sense of self worth independent of what value they perceive in their innate unchangeable identities, to believe that their ancestors are morally perfect. Honestly it boggles me how many white people cannot just recognize they are already morally superior to their own ancestors. Plus it's easier to just play the easier to play the entitled victim when one's worldview is challenged by facts than to go through the scary and potentially humiliating process of re-examining one's worldview.
It's honestly amazing how ridiculously fragile the "fuck your feelings" crowd are sometimes

>>15845Of course I was paying attention, I just wasn't paying attention to
only right-wing news sources regurgitating the same bullshit that they've been spewing since the days of Rush Limbaugh in the 90s. I recognize the same basic narratives and dishonest cherry picking of facts to reframe themselves as the totally innocent victim and suggesting we must identify with committers of hate crimes.
Sorry (not sorry), I have an individual identity, if another white person is a cop using disproportionate, even lethal force against a black suspect accused of passing a counterfit bill, in a world where white cops get away with that way too easily, I'm not going to interpret criticisms of that kind of corruption of the system as a criticism of every single white person, because
I am not the one killing suspects over minor crimes. Why the fuck can't people like you accept that criticisms of the system are
not criticisms of you for veing white? Why would you let yourself be manipulated into taking those criticisms as personal attacks.
I used to believe that shit 33 years ago when I heard that bullshit after the LA riots in 1992. I refuse to be cucked by that cowardly bullshit ever again.

Police are actively held above the law, to a different standard, regardless of what they do to white OR black people. It happens to EVERYONE.

You will at best have to go through years of litigation to get some money, that comes from the TAXPAYERS not even the cops, while they continue on in their job.

If you're somebody with the brain-worms about either politics specifically or life in general, then you're going to have to twist yourself into knots about how over racism is fine if it benefits you (or doesn't hurt you) while it's bad if it hurts you.
And whether you're a freaky Proud Boy psychopath or a genuine communist or just some incoherent idiot, whatever you are, you're basically going to fail horribly and look to everybody else like a cringe Tiktok come to life.
Anybody screaming out about how some gang of white skinheads beating up a black grandmother to steal her purse isn't "racist" or like that militants of the New Black Panther Party marching with rifles going "whites have too many babies" isn't racist... like... what even do I need to say?
If you're a normal person and not a complete idiot, then you're just going to believe that bad things are inherently bad. And less bad things is good. The end.

Also, as somebody who literally had family that're police officers and literally myself used to work for a local police department myself (not as a cop), I've got to make this plea.
Please, Americans, stop being fucking morons who view your cops as superhero saints that say and do everything perfectly.
I feel literally like vomiting day after day when I see how badly you idiots blindly think that everything cops say, do, think, and whatever is correct.
The term "blind sheep" is an insult to sheep. Americans treat cops like horny, desperate men at strip clubs treat strippers. It's not just worship. It's slobbering worship.
Please stop that.
A white and pale as Casper the Ghost cop can beat a little teenage boy who's just as pale and white almost to death, basically because that police officer felt that his precious, precious feelings got hurt, and 0.00000001% of Americans or whatever the hell will find a problem with that. Well, I've got a problem with that. Stop. The. Fucking. Hero. Worship. Cops are regular human men. With regular human frailties.

>>15854That's clearly a cope dude. It's an argument against a conservative worldview. An argument that restoring the past isn't preferable for the future. And calling out places where it's still a problem, like in the culture of American law enforcement, is part of the process of mitigating the problem. If you're not supporting racism in law enforcement, then it's not a criticism of you. The fact that things like this have been slow to change does not indicate that people who make such criticisms are doing so for the ulterior motive of 'feigning moral superiority'. And, candidly, it comes off to me as if one identifies with the cause of the problem, as if one identifies with those who
are white supremacist.
>>15856Do you even know what humility is? You seem to treat it as a synonym for guilt, which it absolutely is

Humility is being able to accept all shortcomings of oneself and one's identities, especially one's potential future shortcomings and being able to accept and learn from the mistakes of the past.

In 2005's 'Castle Rock v. Gonzales', a woman sued the police for failing to protect her from her husband after he violated a restraining order in terms of having abducted and killed their three children. Justices said that the police couldn't be faulted there. Supreme Court of the U.S. said that.
"[T]he framers of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 17 Stat. 13 (the original source of §1983), did not create a system by which police departments are generally held financially accountable for crimes that better policing might have prevented".

>>15862Because it's an argument against resurrecting that past, an argument that no one here seems to even engage with on a honest level.
>Feeling "humility" for someone else's actions is just dumb.>You didn't do it.>You aren't responsible.>They aren't your mistakes.Humility isn't taking responsibility for others mistakes, it's not even about taking responsibility, it's about rejecting arrogance.

The color of someone's skill doesn't mean they're going to agree with me, relate with me, any of that. I don't need "humility" for a group identity in order to realize that.
>Agreed, but ... if you're confident in that than why would people here in this board be so stupidly sensitive about it to the point they would call even mentioning the past anti-white racism? I don't believe that's what's occurring.
Rather, I think you yourself have made it pretty clear what people're actually pointing out;
When you complain about the "fragility of my fellow white folk", because they unlike you don't want to have the weight of someone else's past crimes upon them, I don't think it's unreasonable for one to point out the bigotry present in that statement.
> that's not what I am saying anyone needs to do, Then what "should" be done with such information? Because feeling "humility" for it certainly seems to fall into that category, from what you yourself have described.
It's a "shortcoming" that stems from your identity. One that evidently brings "potential future shortcomings" as well, no less. All because of a race you happen to share, alone. And if you don't "accept" that "mistake", well, you're just a fragile white guy.
Honestly, I just don't see how it's anything other than "feel bad about this for my political advantage".

>>15890First of no, not "every time". But sure maybe you could argue that when people feel passionate enough about what they see as a good thing that must happen or otherwise be maintained then they may get out of control. You could say "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" but then this also brings every good idea into question. See also what I said: "just because of what a bunch of vanguardists did years ago who betrayed most ideals they claimed to uphold at every turn". You can find awful things inherently like this within fascism, nazism, and similar ideologies and movements (like the proud boys) but I challenge you to show me where any of this is encouraged inherently with communism itself and not just what some guy later said who became associated with it. This isn't even counting movements that just blatantly hijacked it and turned it into their own thing like the khmer rouge.

>>15898>There are absolutely multiple points throughout Marx's writing explicitly advocating, encouraging, and otherwise pushing for violence.Violence against who and in what situation? Did Marx say to genocide a bunch of people because of their ethnicity or race? To stifle the working class's say in soviets and effectively use coercive force to create a more and more authoritarian and eventually totalitarian state at the expense of many other communists and socialists and continued betraying their own ideals even beyond that like the bolsheviks did when they set the standard? Did Marx advocate killing random people because they opposed The Regime? I'm not saying it may not be shit regardless, but not all violence is the same kind. You could attribute a fair amount to what Marx said I suppose, but I would say the majority of it was not something he'd even tentatively approve of in totality especially for how much of it also came against the working class and betrayed them. We're also not even touching on other forms of communism like anarcho-communism, libertarian marxism, primitive communism before all of this, etc. And none of these things even if they came from Marx are inherent to communism in a similar way to how a lot of forms of marxism deviate from marx's teachings a lot but hold certain core principles. It's a shame too because I think there are plenty of criticisms to be had about communism even as an ideology aside from all of this, but it can never be talked about because the focus is always on this. If you want to attack communism, it'd probably even be more effective to go for what it inherently is.
>But then, frankly, I don't think it's worth discussing, considering you buy in to the "It's totally capitalism's fault people starve to death" nonsense.Posting a image doesn't mean I inherently agree with all it's aspects. It's there for a reason even if it's not entirely lining up with what I think. But whoever put that there likely did so because people buy into the "people starve to death because of communism" when it's not that simple. It's never remotely that simple. It's a factor for sure but it's also a oversimplification as it is with capitalism.

It's not about Kayne being a nazi at all. It's about Kanye getting fed up with being told what to do, what to say, and how to feel. It's about being misconstrued and having words twisted in the eyes of the judgemental majority or minority for that matter.
It's about saying "Okay you're calling me a monster. You're calling me the villain. Then I'm going to
to be the villain."
It's completely relevant to this thread as well as the national political environment here in America. It's pure, raw, unfiltered emotion in the most human way possible.
Anyway, if people like this:
>>15837>>15840Are telling you to feel bad about the past and that you have to show others humility and be humble over it, then they probably aren't worth listening to or caring if they call you a coward because you're not willing to perform some song-and-dance humiliation ritual every time black people are brought up, or native americans, or [insert topic or group of people you're supposed to feel guilty about].

On the opposite note it does remind me when say, black people for example or any other race claims to be peaceful and all that but then turns to violence when someone calls them a racial slur. Like "Ah yes, they think I am a violent criminal so I am going to break the law and violently attack them. That'll show them how peaceful and reasonable we are."
Like I said, I know at the end of the day it typically isn't the most mature thing go and do and be like "If you see me as this, then that's what I'll be."
In this case people had been calling Kanye a nazi for a long time over his comments on Jewish people ect. Maybe he felt misunderstood. I never kept up with it closely, but I can understand the feelings of frustration and the esclation it causes between people.
I was just posting it because it seems revelant to not just the tone of interaction I'm getting from this thread (Not that people in here are 'embracing the monster' but rather saying 'dude shut up, we didn't fucking do anything'.

Like "Ah yes, they think I am a violent criminal so I am going to break the law and violently attack them.

When even Alex Jones was trying to push back on what he was saying you know it's bad. And it wasn't even just that interview. Kanye had a lot to prove he wasn't and instead he chose to double down and prove he was. So I really can't see any value in the video other than a cautionary tale of what not to do after you say things like that and much more. Whether it's somewhat relevant or not I think it's not a good idea is all I'm saying.
>but I can understand the feelings of frustration and the esclation it causes between people. The problem is he did a lot to earn that reputation and he just kept doubling down, like I can't sensibly feel much for this guy other than understanding what it's like to be frustrated at what people say because he made his bed and now he's lying in it.
>but rather the way many places within the country have turned when it comes to racial relations.

>>16042I think the problem is that Hitler and the Nazi party where in fact charismatic. That is evident to this day. And they did have some really good ideas that resonated with a lot of people. I mean Hitler was on Time Magazine of all places and was well respected by a lot of the world even during the war. It wasn't until after he lost that the defamation really, really began to settle in.
I really don't care much for the guy. He's just another historical figure at this point who has been dead for almost 100 years.
(Personally if we're gonna talk murderers, I prefer Vlad the Impaler. Man was a savage)
People just tend to forget to separate that and the fact that they murdered a shit load of people; not just jews.
At the end of the day, I'm not saying what Kanye is doing is a smart move, but I understand it. It's one fueled on emotion, and I think most human beings on the planet can relate to letting emotion rule at least one or two decisions in their lives.
I don't agree with the exact message, but I can relate to the raw unfiltered pride and pain driven delivery of its message. "Fuck this."

I don't think it's something people have to walk eggshells around. This isn't the Warp and dealing with chaos daemon or anything. If anything, I say if you want to see what being a nazi is about; go right the fuck ahead. It doesn't hurt my feelings. And it shouldn't. I've had friends that were racist as fuck; against my own race even, but at the end of the day (I keep saying that lol) we saw eye to eye as individuals. Funny enough, a lot of them changed with time. Guess I have a knack for killing people with kindness. It also helps I know how to talk shit back and turn things from straight malicious to entertaining for everyone.
If you think about it, race is pretty funny. All of our differences are funny. And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
https://youtu.be/2A3ryjroZW8?si=1pTuM93qSv_Tyylp&t=119I really miss the days when people could just see eye to eye and say "I fucking think you're a piece of shit" and group of friends could say the most RACIST shit to each other while laughing without making it political.
I miss the military on that last bit. Goddamn we would roast each other.

>I simply suggested it probably wasn't a good look for you to post it to others here
Nah, not myself. I meant it general. I've mentioned it before, I don't really care if people here don't like me. I mean, it would be nice if I were accepted, but I am used to being a black sheep and a misfit. I get it, but I'm not going to follow the crowd on an idea if I don't really want to.
I feel it is better to be hated for being honest rather than loved for telling a lie.
>Or simply not being so incredibly hostile or worse about incredibly stupid things that produce no demonstrable harm or offense.
Hehe, yeah. Especially when it comes to jokes. I really love making my friends laugh. It's like.. when they laugh genuinely it's so infectious. It makes me want to just cackle like a little gremlin or something
In person it's so much easier to feel someone's personal boundaries, which I do respect. It's all about tact. Coming at me sideways and getting super pissed off and hostile actually makes me want to double down in most cases. But simply saying politely, but firmly "Hey I don't like that. Please stop." And I can suddenly go to my default politeness.
Believe it or not, I actually really hate making people feel upset unless I feel I have been wronged or someone I care about has been wronged. It actually really upsets me when someone feels sad. Hell, even somebody I don't know. I've actually made quite a few friends here and there that way.
It's weird. When I see someone getting unfairly treated or wronged or harmed, it's like this thing in my head snaps and I want to protect. Is that weird?

Anyway, threads like this make me feel a little blue. Because I see sooo many people who are normally pretty wonderful to one another; that I recognize by posting style drawing their blades and clawing at one another's throats over opinions.
Like they don't even try to understand the opposite opinion. And I get it: even if you do, it might offend you. For example: I am hispanic. If someone says some stupid shit about mexicans or whatever, I might not agree with the thought, but that doesn't mean I automatically think they are a piece of shit by that merit alone. I'll try to understand it, and even if we can't agree that doesn't mean we have to kill one another over it, or even fight. We can talk civil like and try to understand our positions. Even if that opinion is malicious in nature and disgusting to me.
Everyone has their limits of course, but I feel most things even racist, sexist, or otherwise stereotypical in nature come from places of fear, anger, and misunderstanding.
I'll even say this and I don't care how people judge. I do not like the black community what so ever as it stands. Yet I have met so many wonderful black people in my life that it's made me realize while people and groups as a whole might not jive with you, you can always keep your mind open and your heart willing to give love to those who prove you wrong.
I like to be proven wrong. I enjoy meeting people that I get along with. That's why I don't care when I hear people make generalizations about myself because they don't apply. I know it, and I have proven time and time again to people like that, that I'm actually incredibly friendly to be around if you let me love you. I'm not perfect, but I try.
Anyway, I'm a little buzzed. I'm probably not making sense and rambling.

>>16039It's not an uncommon choice folk make.
There's a reason most the time you want to get someone out of a cult or such, you befriend them first. You catch more flies with honey.
And beyond that, becoming the 'dragon' so to speak after being prodded just feels good.

Kind of wild how his name's twisted outside of that region, though. Associated with bloodthirsty vampires, rather than the defiant hero he's oft seen as in his homeland.

>>16052He was crazy, and malicious. Never get that twisted. He was actually insane after his time with the Turks, but yes, he did through arguably necessary cruelty saved his home and people.
Man actually did dip his bread in blood and wine while he ate. Left muslim turks impaled alive at the outskirts on purpose so that they would speak in the same language as them to warn them.
There's a story about two muslim turks who were messengers who refused to remove their head garments.. So he told them "If you don't want them removed you'll wear them forever" and had their turbans nailed to their skulls, killing them in the process.
Also inspired this METAL AS FUCK song about his life.

Man you people went way out of your way to twist meanings of words to turn 'humility' into 'groveling' and 'guilt'.
Humble is not a gesture or something you show. It's a state of being where one can accept the fallibility of one's judgment while maintaining one's self-esteem. And having humility for one's ingroup does not mean groveling over their sins or taking responsibility for them, it just means being able to accept that their judgement was just as fallible as anyone else's and that sharing an identity with them doesn't make one better than anyone else.
Talking about racism in the past to make the point that the past wasn't better than the present isn't meant to shame anyone here in the present. It's meant to argue against mythologizing it, modeling the present or future after it and an argument against building one's identity around it. That's literally
all it is.
You people are really fucking fragile if you can't accept that and insteas see it all as personal attacks against you for being white.
>>16049>Everyone has their limits of course, but I feel most things even racist, sexist, or otherwise stereotypical in nature come from places of fear, anger, and misunderstanding.I personally understand that that's true ... and that's why I call it cowardice, cause that's what it is. I try to have empathy for that, but I
also have empathy for people who would suffer from the actions of the fearful and angry with no self control, I'm not going to see that as absolving the bigot who does the wrong thing out of that fear, anger or misunderstanding. If you tell me to have empathy for the nazi beating up a gay guy for simply being gay because he's fearful or angry or doesn't understand, you'll just make me hate the nazi that much more and judge you for not applying the same to the gay guy getting beaten up. "Oh you don't understand he's a bigot cause he's scared and doesn't understand", yeaah fuck off, it doesn't absolve anything.

>>16054>accept the fallibility of one's judgment There is no fallability in one's judgement that arises from past sins committed by someone else who is not you.
I had nothing to do with any of that. I wasn't even alive at the time.
>one's ingroupHonestly I think the biggest issue here with all of this is that you're looking at race through, to be frank, a racist's lens.
Most of us do not regard race as an "in group".
Most of us belive it to be little more than a physical characteristic of which one should not be judged for.
One that has little bearing on them, as an individual.
>You people are really fucking fragile >"AGREE WITH ME OR UR A BABY!!!1!!!"Yeah, no, fuck off.
