Race in America is fucked up

[–]SeriousAsPie 414ポイント415ポイント  (50子コメント)

Bitch, please. America doesn't have a monopoly on racism.

Yeah, when's the last time a black American athlete had a banana thrown at him?

[–]rabbithole 38ポイント39ポイント  (0子コメント)

After an intense workout your body's potassium reserves are severely depleted. We should all be so kind as to throw bananas at the athletes we admire.

    From an outsider's perspective, the divide between black people and white people in America does seem to be one of the greatest in the world, and with that the discussion about racism seems to be greatest in America.

    That said, I suspect it's not so much to do with how racist Americans are in general, but more because of the clear history that segregated black Americans from everyone else so completely, and has been difficult to overcome.

    [–]Tantes 176ポイント177ポイント  (13子コメント)

    It's also because we seem to be the only ones who talk about our racism.

    Everywhere else it's just "fuck the gypsies" unapologetically.

    [–]MrJohz 37ポイント38ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I suspect it's not so much that you're the only ones who talk about racism, but more that you, as an American, don't hear a lot of other people talk about racism because racism works a bit differently in each country in the world. On the other hand, the rest of the world hears Americans talking about racism a lot because the rest of the world hears Americans talking about everything a lot because the major demographic of most English-speaking public forums on the internet is American, so we overhear it.

    But no, it would be about as accurate for you to say the rest of the world unapologetically hates gypsies as it would for me to say that America is entirely populated by fat Southern rednecks.

    Eh. We do a really bad job with integration. Not necessarily intentionally, but pretty much everybody looks at integration poorly, even though it's by far the best way to stop all sorts of racial disparities.

    Did you just say in all seriousness that everyone but the USA are racists and no one talks about race. Come to Denmark (or scandinavia in general) and tell me that one more time. This is taking the "America is the center of the universe" to a whole nother level.

    [–]FaFaRog -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Having lived in both Canada and the US, I don't think this is true. America's history of embracing chattel slavery and segregation has led to a massive racial divide between White and Black Americans, similar to the one seen between White Canadians and First Nations people...Except that America also has that history with it's native peoples.

    America's history makes discussions of race especially toxic (even though they are necessary). At least that's what I have seen first hand.

      Australia is pretty terrible. Try talking to a white Australian about how racist they are, how anti immigration they are and they will just respond with " It's just the bogans who are racist but to be fair most Abos are violent retarded alcoholic criminals"

      I'm not kidding, it's almost the same response every single time.

      [–]blahblahblah539771 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

      I agree, actually. Aussies are really crazy to listen to. Americans at least try, in an extremely thinly veiled way, to hide their blatant racism. Aussies are just like "no, this is actually how it is". It's very jarring to hear.

        Because the EU has not a drop of racism. Everything's going great over there!

        [–]MrJohz -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Well I'm not saying the rest of the world is perfect. Like I said, America has a particularly unique set of circumstances that mean that, in terms of race, there are discussions that go on in America that just don't happen in the rest of the world. In most other countries, because racial minorities are so small, the phenomenon of a huge and distinct "black community" or "black heritage" doesn't exist in the same way.

        This isn't so much about simple hatred of the other, because America clearly has its fair share of that, just as much as every other country. This is more about institutional racism, and how society deals with race as a cohesive whole. I'd argue that is very different in America than it is in much of the rest of the world - not in a negative way, just that you're dealing with fairly different circumstances.

        [–]DaddyCatALSO 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

        And in several ways, the difference is both getting worse and disappearing atthe same time.

        [–]CatlikeQuickness 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        I suspect it has more to do with our having a 13% black population instead of 2%.

        [–]MaverickTopGun 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

        That's only because the world isn't all up on other countries' dicks. No one is reporting on the shit that happens in day to day life in, like, Estonia even though its suffering from a huge identity crisis with a large Russian ethnic population. The US owns the media so the media talks about the US. Think of how many people in other countries know about our elections when I can't name any of the candidates in Australia's last Prime Minister race

        Live in a small town in scotland, yes. The academy I go to has 2 black students and 3 asians, but the asians are all one family. That's literally the entirety of the diversity in my school as far as greatly different races go, everyone else is a brit (vast majority) or polish. Aberdeen is a bit more varied when I go there, there are normally at least 4 different shades of brown.

        How are the minorities treated in your school?

        [–]C477um04 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

        Like everyone else. There really isn't any sort of deal made of it whatsoever. You're in fact far likelier to encounter homophobia than racism but that's also under control well. In fact we got a new teacher in who was gay and black. They put up a couple of these but otherwise nothing was said about it.

        Is that satire or a misinterpretation or am I missing something? I just mean that the minorities are treated no differently than everybody else in the school, the different ethnicity is barely even noticed.

That's pretty fucked up, killing a record just because of the course. #Marathonlivesmatter

        Actually, the United States of America isn't very racist compared to most countries. We just have a media that focuses on every race-related incident because it sells. Many immigrants spend time in other countries before coming to USA. Ask them about about racism in America.

        I'd like to believe this but I travelled with 4 black friends on a bus from ohio to georgia and back and dude its fucked how racist people are against blacks in america.

        As I've gotten older I've noticed a lot more casual racism in canada against immigrants but its not really colour based. In america it was a whole other level of systemic bullshit.

        Things like the hotel is full for them but not me. Rent a car to me without a drivers licenese...the gears for them sort of shit. Casual racism publicly on a bus with zero fucks given. Its different man is all I can say.

          Come to Finland and you know what real racism is. Jokes about killing blacks is kinda socially acceptable. If you aren't white you are considered to be almost automatically a criminal. There are people throwing molotovs in refugee centres and a lot of people supporting them. Racist hate speech getting thousands upvotes on facebook. I could go on and on, but you probably get the point that around if you aren't white you are lesser human. Americas racism is nothing compared to what you would face around here.

          Its that crazy the people didn't even think I was WITH them. Man ever after all these years I'm kind of beside myself. I mean these guys they weren't successful looking business men (or me for that matter). We were young indie game designers that started a company together.

          Casual racism publicly on a bus with zero fucks given.

          I also saw that on bus from New York to Montreal this summer. Cheapest fare I could find for a ride with 2 bicycles and camping gear was the midnight bus from Penn Station.

          Thing is, besides a few Quebecois and backpackers, the bus was pretty much filled with New York Haitians on vacation paying a visit to cousins. Then at a stop at Albany a few old ladies came on board and complained not only about having to seat appart from each other, but to have to sit beside African Americans*.

          Two backpackers gave their seat.

          Canada's biggest issue is how we treat the natives. I've lived here my entire life and there is a really weird reaction to people who are native, as if they are really in an entire different sphere of people. Like they sit outside the circle. I feel like Canada will let anyone in; you're from Korea? China? Europe? Africa? Cool, come in. But native? No, you're out there.

          The US is just as racist as other first world countries, Sweden just just hasn't had to deal with that because they were racially uniform throughout their entire existence.

          [–]gallowstree 5ポイント6ポイント  (13子コメント)

          I think America has a (relatively) open dialogue about race, mostly due to the confluence of the rise of social media, the Obama presidency, and high-profile incidents like Trayvon Martin and Ferguson which collectively highlighted a lot of pretty ugly things crawling around the national subconsciousness. Talking about that stuff is good. But I'm not sure it makes us less racist than other countries.

          [–]WifehasDID 6ポイント7ポイント  (12子コメント)

          None of that makes us less racist than other countries, shit like Trayvon and Ferguson are what pull us closer to other countries....

          Look at the video, notice one of the main points..... "What you mean Beyonce is BLACK????

          The lack of recognition that Beyonce was black is the exact opposite of racism....

          Beyonce wasn't black or white she was just Beyonce.... her color didn't matter.

          It wasn't until she started in with this "I'm black and that makes me strong and good" that people started saying... WTF????

          Trayvon Martin was a kid who attacked an idiot that was following him.... Michael Brown was a criminal who attacked a police officer.... That shit wasn't racism, if Trayvon was white the same shit would have happened....If Brown was white that same shit would have happened.

          What makes the US less racist than other countries.... is exactly what that video pointed out.... most of "white america" never saw Beyonce as black...

          [–]gallowstree -2ポイント-1ポイント  (11子コメント)

          You're articulating a 'color blind' philosophy of race relations, which I think is both impractical and kind of dehumanizing (it sounds a lot like "We'd stop hating you if you didn't insist on being different.") I think we can acknowledge that the color of people's skin plays a big role in their experiences in the world, without pathologizing experiences unlike our own - we can be "color aware", not merely "color blind."

          [–]WifehasDID 5ポイント6ポイント  (10子コメント)

          Why do I have to like someone who insists on being different?

          Am I not allowed to judge people on their behavior?

          If I don't like your behavior I'm not allowed to dislike you?

          Your color does not and should not ever matter. your behavior however should always matter

          [–]gallowstree 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

          You don't have to do anything, and you're allowed to like/dislike what and whoever. But don't expect people to automatically agree with or defer to a position that walks right up to the line of out-and-out racism ("I don't dislike you because you're black, I dislike you because of the things about you that I associate with blackness and black culture.") If you're going to thread that fine of a needle, the responsibility rests with you to think seriously and honestly and self-critically about your beliefs and how you articulate those beliefs.

          But color DOES matter tremendously in America. You can ignore it, but PoC cannot. When you say 'i dont see race, i'm colorblind' it sounds like you just don't want to acknowledge that other races have problems because of their race.

          'i dont see race, i'm colorblind'

          Eh, generally people who say this mean that they treat everyone the same, regardless of color. It has nothing to do with acknowledgement, but everything to do with treatment.

          [–]WifehasDID 2ポイント3ポイント  (6子コメント)

          No color doesn't matter, behavior does.

          If you conform to American society you are accepted no matter what your color or ethinc origin is...

          if you do not conform to American society you are not accepted.

          This isn't about race this is about culture.... black people who conform "act white" don't have much of if any issues.... black people who wish to stand outside of that culture are treated as an outsider.

          Lemme help you out.

          Only about 50 years ago, if black people tried to sit down and eat a meal in a diner, white people would throw their food at them, haul them outside, and beat the living shit out of them. Then when the cops showed up, they'd arrest the black people as though they were the ones doing something wrong.

          This was the norm.

          Black people can say whatever they want about white people, and the worst it's going to do to me and you is maybe hurt our feelings a little bit.

          It's not at all equivalent.

          They thought that for a while.

          Then they did adoption studies where black kids were adopted by white families. There are some collected statistics that control for income as well.

          IQ was still lower.

          I agree that poverty and crime are correlative, but we've thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at the problem in schools, WIC, SNAP, Medicaid, housing, after-school programs, community basketball courts, gyms, anti-drug programs, sex education, etc. Tried it for half a century now. Black people cannot get with the program.

          That is such utter bullshit. Dr. Mark Dean, Dr. James West, and plenty of other black people have been smart enough to make such contributions to science that we wouldn't have personal computers and cell phones without them.

          My feelings aren't hurt. My point, which is validated by your point, is that we don't really even try to eliminate racist thinking. We're not trying to unite people. You perpetuate the idea that it's okay to mistreat someone based on their skin color or their lineage.

          Now, poking fun at white people is essentially harmless, but the principal is the same. Dividing people based on skin color. There are many contributing factors, but that divide is what keeps racism alive. That divide keeps the door open for more malevolent behavior.

          You can't stop racism by perpetuating racism, no matter how justified you feel.

          You perpetuate the idea that it's okay to mistreat someone based on their skin color or their lineage.

          No, I differentiate between systemic oppression and race-based insults. Neither is good, but one is clearly worse than the other.

          As for the SNL sketch, I don't understand how this is supposed to be seen as divisive. If anything, it makes me laugh about how the video was made for black people (which freaks many white people out), celebrating "baby hair and afros" and "Jackson Five nostrils" rather than perpetuating the idea that white standards of beauty are what black people should aspire to.

          You can acknowledge difference and even celebrate difference (that which makes us unique) without it being a slight toward everyone else who does not share those features.

          So then that raises the question, "Is it okay to celebrate white features?"

          Sure. It has been for thousands of years. Snow White, anyone? "Her skin was fair as snow."

          So why don't we hear as much of this anymore? It's not "PC Culture Run Amok" as you so often hear screamed by the far right wing. It's because in Western civilization, white standards of beauty were the only standards of beauty you ever saw represented in any media whatsoever.

          Celebrating black beauty is a relatively new thing. So we white people, with our inherited legacy of colonialism, power, and oppression, ought to be able to see black people celebrating their blackness, and let them continue without making it about us.

          so....? that doesn't absolve whatever level of racism that does occur in the US just because other counties may or may not be "worse"

          Actually, the United States of America isn't very racist compared to most countries

          Having lived in a bunch of different countries, I can honestly tell you that where I lived in the US (midwest) there was definitely much more racism than in other western countries. Perhaps racism isn't the proper term, but simply much more awareness of race, of belonging in a certain group because of your race, etc. When I was in the UK for example, black people who were born in the UK were considered brits and thought of themselves as part of the same group as white brits, whereas in the US there was definitely a whole "white americans" vs "black americans" or "asian americans".

          Your personal experience notwithstanding, England has had a long history racial tensions. They have had major race riots as recently as 2011, with looting in 4 major cities. Not to mention the rampant racism at football games all over the country. You anecdotal tale may lead you to believe that "all Brits see each other as Brits", but the empirical evidence suggests otherwise.

          Many places in Europe are more racist than US but we don't whine and make big deal about it.

          Even though most countries are actually more racist then America. You just think it's worse because America is one of the few countries that talks about it openly.

          Some countries, like Switzerland, people treat you poorly and unwelcome if you're not from the same village. It's not even racism at that point. Fricken strange.

          I don't mean it's racist, it's just weird. The way working class is given a face and a name as "black people", and being upper middle class is acting "white" .

          The quote from the video "yeah she was pretty white in that movie"

          Idk. Especially when comparing middle-east countries and some asian countries America's race issues pale. I'd say its more annoying and obnoxious than anything else.

          Its because we are the most diverse country in the world. We have an asian living across the street, and black neighbors, everyone gets a long fine. All the shit you see in the news is just drummed up bullshit to get clicks.
