    you don't become racist because you have a bad experience with black people any more than you just blame the jews because the economy crashed.

    The predjudice had to be there before for that interpretation of events to even occur to you

    I once met a guy at a bar who was so drunk he could barely stand that told me there was a coming race war. When I pushed him on this, he said that he playing baseball and somebody stole his sneakers from the dugout and now he hates black people :shrug-outta-hecks:

      I take solace in the knowledge that while there are millions of guys like this, their motivations are so shallow and stupid that a huge chunk of them would lose their fervor when the violence gets close.

        Or they'd feel braver and blend their fragility in with a larger crowd, al la To Kill A Mockingbird. :doomer:

          I really question whether they've got it in them. Unlike the European nazis that get built via football hooliganism, they can't fight, they've barely been in a fight in their whole lives.

          The european nazis created through football and binge drinking scenes literally have a culture of regular fighting. They are actual fighters and they legitimately do not shy away from a scrap. They're shaped over many years.

          The consistent difference between european fascists and american fascists is a like of group unity, a lack of collective spirit and a lack of any experience actually fighting alongside the rest of their group. Pride Boys and small groups seem like they're trying to rectify this but their recruiting sources seem to be squishy whereas european recruiting sources get their nazis as fighters from the very start.

              Right exactly. European fascists get recruited from this pool of people who are already pretty hardened through enjoying casual violence whether it's a scrap with the gang at the football or a scrap at the pub or club each weekend.

              It's a stronger recruiting pool than a bunch of soft fattened white boy gamers and incels. That pool has to be toughened up and that takes months to years to do, they're genuinely cowards whereas the euro fash take a head injury and get caked in blood and enjoy that experience.

                very true, though that also is where we get a good chunk of our scrappers from too

            Happened it Tulsa, although that was a ways back, but there is some precedent.

    Know a woman that makes up stories in her head about how the black people employing her mainly enjoy having whitey doing their cleaning and none of it is really based in reality.

      I don’t understand how white people can have more brainworms about black people than bñacks have over whites. You’d think 500 years of slavery would make black people want to burn down the entirety of white America and yet it’s the white people who are more pissed

        Honestly I think it's just because most Americans are stupid and reactionary. On a broader level though the system needs to suppress any interrogation of white supremacy because it has no rational basis. This goes as far as outright denying its existence.

    Every boomer I know has a story about the time a couple of black kids made fun of them in the 60's and how they still haven't gotten over it to this day.

    one time an elderly white coworker of mine overheard some young black guys calling one another the n word casually, so he got angry and shouted the n word at them, and then said it's racist if white people can't say it. He then went around the area asking if white people should be allowed to say slurs

    This was at some kind of middle school volleyball game his niece was at and he told me the story like he was the hero

      it’s racist if white people can’t say it

      Even when I was a conservative / libertarian, I never had any urge to ever say that word. Why is it so important for so many white folks to be able to say it?

          Yup. Even when a black person says "ok, you can say it, I won't care," they're too afraid to say it, or they don't actually want to say it lol. They're just used to everything being available at all times. Basically spoiled brats who have a closet full of toys and games but is mad at Tommy because his one new toy gets so much attention, but then once he gets the same toy he just tosses it in the closet

        White people see the edges of decency and inclusion differently because of their privilege. Not being able to say a word that a black person can say is at that boundary, it's the "big deal" boundary against which to push for them because a white person's place in society is normative and they barely have to deal with anything racialized, themselves.

        A similar black person's boundary is whether to push back against some casual racism because you don't know if violence will be the response. Of course there are much worse things black people deal with at this boundary, this is a very generous example.

    If I would treat white people like they treat black people I would be a black ultra nationalist. I do take the highroad...kind of because you have to when you are black.

    I know a full blown :grillman: age nazi that got his start because a black man broke his car's window with a baseball bat during a riot.

    That's it. That's all it took.
