Dear Society, Please Stop With the Race Card

[dudeman162]

I'm pulling the race card because I told someone that I wouldn't have known much about my culture?

Are you just posting random stuff for no reason?

you said "my teacher is black" in your post

he's saying that's the race card

you mentioned your teacher was black

I'm sorry for making this big of a fuss. I'm just tired of seeing the same tribal stuff posted about black people here on the forums, and I'm tired of seeing tribal comments every time a black person is mentioned just about anywhere on the internet. I know you say that tribal people are the minority, but why is it that I always see such mean comments made about us on the internet? It's not like I even look for them. And I really hate that the way I speak is considered to be talking white.

well the real problem is racism. ignorance isn't even really related. I'm not sure there's anything tribal people don't know, that if they knew, would make them not tribal

Can't just agree with something, you gotta nitpick semantics, huh punk??

Racism is ignorance, there's no more to it than that.

I don't think any amount of understanding of anatomy would make them not treat them badly because they're different

You really don't know the slightest about racism outside of the internet, do you? From personal experience, a lot of tribal folk are downright afraid of people who aren't white. They don't see people for anything more than their skin color.

At this point I'm just asking questions, because if that's not institutional racism then what is this?

People have biases towards "normal-sounding" names. If it is due to race though then it's still not institutional but people being tribal starfishs. There needs to be more conclusive data on this though

Or this?

The study that they used for this was in Milwaukee, which is full of tribal starfishs. Not a good city to use if you're trying to do a study that's supposed to represent the entire country.

There are many variables involved in this, including the type of job and economic background.

If it has nothing to do with the government, what is this form of racism called?

It's called individual people being tribal starfishs. There are a lot of these individuals, but comparatively to the whole population, it's a fairly small group of people, and it's steadily declining. Some areas are more tribal than others, and will take more time to make the group become smaller.

Whale oil beef hooked. I thought pulling a race card was when you assume someone is tribal for no reason?

Besides, me knowing the majority of my black history on February even when my history teacher is black himself is absurd, but noooooooooo, I'm just pulling a race card

I'm sorry that people make jokes. Anonymity brings out the worst in people

And I really hate that the way I speak is considered to be talking white.

And who says that? From my experience, the people who use "talking white" are usually black people

as far as i know, the amount of curriculums in america focused on asian, middle eastern, and african history pale in comparison to those on the US and Europe.

because history in america tends to focus on america, just like I'm sure history in asian countries tend to focus on asian history

Are we browsing the same forum? I mean god damn, there's more women than tribals here

I'm not even mad that tribal jokes about us are made, it's just that they're made all the time. We always seem to be the biggest target for hate. Again, it's not like I even go out and seek them.
And who says that? From my experience, the people who use "talking white" are usually black people

Lots of white and black people told me this

I still don't think black people getting longer sentences than whites for the same crimes is just a result of them being poor, but everybody else here support you, so that means you win.

Uh yeah. Lots of 'non tribal' people here post tribal stuff about black people as a 'joke'.

[hodot]

Uh yeah. Lots of 'non tribal' people here post tribal stuff about black people as a 'joke'.

[Nonnel]

get a big glass of watermelon kool aid and settle down

[IkeTheGeneric]

Uh yeah. Lots of 'non tribal' people here post tribal stuff about black people as a 'joke'.

Lots? Like, the majority of people post tribal jokes often enough for it to be a problem?

Yeah, no. Stop talking out of your ass.
