I don't get it.. why is it that when things are going well everyone sees the similarities that we share and race is never mentioned. but when things go bad, race is suddenly to blame and it's the reason for all of the dysfunction. can someone enlighten me?

well not exactly answering your question, but currently we have the likes of trump, pointing to racial divides constantly, his followers who abhor blacks, hispanics etc, and then you have the shrill supposedly left media shouting 'racist' every chance they get and purposely stirring up controversy, and on the other side right wing media coyly denying any of it and then themselves stirring up hate towards immigrants etc, and all the generally well-meaning buffoons in the middle who pick sides based on what they're used to hearing, and just wish the whole thing would go away
and then you've got the shroomery, and its bizarre mix of know-nothing teenagers, bleeding heart liberals, dazed hippies and frothing white supremacists

Good observation.
Generally race becomes a problem whenever our ruling class wants to go to war. Since most wars are for profit, at least definitely the wars in the Middle East are, and generally the masses don't want war, the ruling class needs to get the masses to hate the people they are senselessly bombing so that they can go, occupy, set up trade routes and steal resources.
It's happened all throughout history, heck even with the Irish at one point when they were apparently the bad guys.
Just another way capitalism is fucking us all really.

Its because when things go bad, people wanna blame something for things going bad. And that something is a race of people.
Take Trump for example, claiming illegal immigrants are "rapists" and "crinimals".

I see a lot of american media (can't help in Kanukistan) and its pretty over the top, not just the right but the supposed left wing stuff is often just as bad. Fear mongering, buzzword obsessed negativity designed to divide the lower classes and keep them angry and afraid and therefore easily controlled. I don't watch much British media but it did seem the brexit thing was influenced by similar phenomena

I fall somewhere between dazed hippie and bleeding heart liberal, if it makes you feel any better. I don't buy this 'the shroomery is so open' crap, at least not the pub. It's as bad as a youtube comment section, but it sure is fun

i don't have to. he answers any question i have with his open and honest rhetoric. sure he's not perfect but he's been successful in a system that is full of flaws. the race issue comes down to a hypothetical scenario. if a japanese guy goes to his gf's house for dinner and that girl's grandpa fought in WW2... he's more inclined to make negative assumptions about the his granddaughter's bf than not and the reason is because of what people did in the past. obviously the kid wasn't born with a knowledge of pearl harbor and an opinion on the matter. we're all walking around in t-shirts that say something about us but no one chooses their race. yet people are held accountable for things that they had nothing to do with. and people want debts paid for crimes that they themselves didn't even endure.

ignoring the comedic goldmine of trump, I get where you are coming from with your example. It is not however, completely analogous to all racial or cultural divides. WW2, while having a big impact and all that, is not even remotely the same as the treatment of african americans in america for example, throughout history. You are right to say that white people, as individuals, should not be blamed for the history of race conflict, slavery etc, since they -as individuals- had nothing to do with it. That is indeed an aspect of racism dear to many so called lefties, the 'lets hate on whitey' attitude. That however represents a loud-mouthed minority of an otherwise, imo, laudable movement towards ameliorating suffering and disparity. The reason it is important to address the race issue, not in either the fashion of talk radio or angry riots, is because the effects of history are still being felt, and even kept alive by some bigoted groups. Even if there is no systemic racism in america NOW, there was in he past, and its effects are still being felt. That is the biggest issue imo that needs to be addressed honestly and openly by both parties.

I've never thought of race as a big deal. Not like it doesn't exist or anything, I just don't see why it matters so much. I get prejudice/being cautious based on past experiences, yeah, but in general generalizations are too general. Why would you want to close a whole part of your mind just because your uncle's mother's husband got robbed by a big mean scary black dude? Racism is really just a cocktail of ignorance and close-mindedness. But I also feel like people are way too easily offended now.

Of course we get riled up about it because it's shoved down our throats daily. You guys don't have rich black guys talking to poor-middle class white people about white privilege while black people are becoming paranoid based on false statistics to the point they're going out chanting about killing cops and white people and actually doing it then getting praise for it all over social media and white people are getting banned or censored on those same platforms for sharing their opinions on the matter because it's "offensive" to minorities. Similar scenarios when it comes to Muslims here whenever some kind of tragedy happens. It's all about blacks/Muslims vs whites here with a little Latino or something else thrown in the mix, essentially anyone can say anything unless they're white, otherwise they're a racist. And while all this is happening, you got the Asians to the side just quietly succeeding and probably laughing at all of us

Because people like you are just loving all the drama for some strange reason. I refuse to become one of the cowardice white Americans that walk on egg shells with what they say out of fear of being called a racist while everyone else is constantly talking shit about whites and condoning hatred towards white people. I'm just going to tough out all this creepy SJW nonsense, eventually people will see how bad they're ruining this place. It's already happening fortunately, just slowly

Is the hate against white people really that bad? I know cops have to watch there backs but wow.
If you're black, you have to watch your back around white people. If you're white you have to watch your back around black people, and muslims, and other white people who 'hate racism'. If you're muslim you have to watch your back around white people and cops. If you're a cop you have to watch your back around black people. What a time to be alive.

I've battled with racism inside myself. Having a racist father and a racist Grandfather. Not extremely racist but they were your average white guy from the 1930's and 1940's. Then when it started to become an issue for me I rejected it and it was very traumatic. A persistent subconscious spirit manifests itself in ugly ways. All this race talk in the media and online let's us work on ourselves a little better. Working with logic and reasoning is a lot healthier than subconscious forces. The schools I went to were white people also. So I don't really know how to blame or dislike for the world that is around us. Mostly I enjoy the world because people mind their own business. Yet I know everyday that there are people out there that want to persuade and take advantage. No matter what their race is there is a power struggle. Cannot legislate a power structure that is always safe. I cannot even read the law without thinking someones really twisted.

I refuse to become one of the cowardice white Americans that walk on egg shells with what they say out of fear of being called a racist while everyone else is constantly talking shit about whites and condoning hatred towards white people. I'm just going to tough out all this creepy SJW nonsense, eventually people will see how bad they're ruining this place. It's already happening fortunately, just slowly
Quote:
Eminence said: Of course we get riled up about it because it's shoved down our throats daily. You guys don't have rich black guys talking to poor-middle class white people about white privilege while black people are becoming paranoid based on false statistics to the point they're going out chanting about killing cops and white people and actually doing it then getting praise for it all over social media and white people are getting banned or censored on those same platforms for sharing their opinions on the matter because it's "offensive" to minorities. Similar scenarios when it comes to Muslims here whenever some kind of tragedy happens. It's all about blacks/Muslims vs whites here with a little Latino or something else thrown in the mix, essentially anyone can say anything unless they're white, otherwise they're a racist. And while all this is happening, you got the Asians to the side just quietly succeeding and probably laughing at all of us 
I'd have to say that you're essentially the white version of all the racial activists you despise though. It's about the same as a black person being extremely vocal about how black they are and how repressed they are because of it, something you'd make a negative comment on in a heartbeat, all while ranting about the culture of calling people racists to boot. You mention the culture of blacks/muslims vs whites with a little latino just for fun, but you seem to play a big part into that same game. You're just another side of the same coin in retrospect.
I'm not exactly against what you believe in. I think the way you focus on race issues is a bit off center though. People might label you as racist because the way you talk about it (and subsequently mention how people always label these thoughts as racist) comes off as such.
Sometimes people get banned or censored for being associated with racism. Other times they get banned and censored for actually being racist. The line is a finicky one and sometimes people get caught up in the bullshit for 'politically correct' reasons. The people who despise political correctness the most seem to use it often though. People who claim to be against political correctness are often whining about the ramifications of others not being so when it comes to their own issues.
This isn't really focused solely on you though, people from all sides are making race far too big of an issue. The reason it's a big issue is because someone makes it a big issue, and someone eventually gets censored, shot, pissed off or called a racist for taking a side in it all. There are completely normal people out in the world who are not focused on race in their daily lives. These people have an easier life for sure. I suppose I'm just not exposed to the same background as you to have such an outlook on race issues.

Exactly, all it has to do is explain to them their "situation" and all is well, no need to be all paranoid and retarded about it

When I was a youth in the 80's and 90's there was a big gang problem in the country. I'm much more for people getting into touch with the world, who they are and their place and expressing themselves in a civil manner than starting gang warfare. There was a lot of element to minority being portrayed as a felon. I think most people grew up and realized they aren't going to be that person. That or they are doing time! Some of the shit that rappers spread about wasn't good for the future. But you don't hear a lot about the analysis of a society or a person.

@PatrickKn
I don't like political correctness, I just want fairness and to be rid of hypocrisy and double standards. It's pretty clear to see that a lot of things non white people can say or do aren't acceptable when white people do them. Name me one other ethnicity or race in the US that gets called racist for saying the same things a white person might say. Only white people can be racist here apparently, if you're black and you talk about achievements of black people, you're just a "strong, proud black man" if a white guy does the same he's a racist. And it got to that point only because these same professional victims who never actually lived through real oppression like their grandparents did decided they wanted to change the definition of racism to where it only fits if there's "power" behind it, as if I actually have power over other non white people.
I grew up really poor, yet some rich dude on BET is standin up on stage talking about my white privilege. All the bad things that have happened in white peoples' history is brought up so often as if white people were the only ones to do those things, all while lots of those same things are still going on elsewhere in the world in the same countries where those peoples families came from at some point. I mean if white privilege were really a thing this wouldn't be going on in the first place.

Sometimes I think the world just needs to absorb what it's done. Not think, not rationalize, but absorb all the excess serotonin and dopamine (probably other chemicals also).
I am not a big bible person but they say to let a field sit and heal every seven years. Sometimes I think the earth just needs time to relax. Not do shit that isn't required to live for awhile! People would take advantage of that, start a war or something.

Fuuuck Listen Sophist..Mexico is a country right below the US, it borders California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. People of all ethnicities live there, just like America. When we think of Americans, we don't only think of a certain race, we think of a person who is from America. This is also how it works with Mexico..which is a country. One more time..Mexico is a country, not a race, ok?

hostileuniverse said on the last page, "taco bell was founded by a white guy" as if that was a mutually exclusive category with Mexican... that's what I was responding to.

bass head said: I don't get it.. why is it that when things are going well everyone sees the similarities that we share and race is never mentioned. but when things go bad, race is suddenly to blame and it's the reason for all of the dysfunction. can someone enlighten me?
You see the people that hold power in this country deliberately put Obama into office to make everything about race, and guess what? IT WORKED!!
Obama is a puppet taking orders from the elite, so ask yourself, why did the elite decide to do this?
The liberals are now trying to blame Trump for the naturally occurring backlash of PC and Obama. Under Obama racial relations have gotten significantly WORSE, that is no coincidence.
