there should be a push away from generalizing, when something happens that you don't like. agreed.Tiggnutz wrote:This white privilege bullshit trying to blame everything fucked up on a generalization of a race( actually funny for the we hate racism wing) is part of the reason there's a Trump in the White House.
It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism. Not the right way to get people to talk shit out.

if it's going to change, it probably needs to come first from the most visible, most powerful / public figures in which ever community, and across the board.Tiggnutz wrote:It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism.

if the people at the top work against it, then it's not likely to change at the bottom, at least not in a lasting way.Tiggnutz wrote:I agree but I also believe it's a bottom to top thingzombie wrote:if it's going to change, it probably needs to come first from the most visible, most powerful / public figures in which ever community, and across the board.Tiggnutz wrote:It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism.

i said that it should come from the most public figures, for this reason. because the people on top, specifically the two most recent presidents (or maybe even three most recent) are perceived to make things worse while they are in office.Foo wrote:So why do you think Obama made things so much worse?zombie wrote:if it's going to change, it probably needs to come first from the most visible, most powerful / public figures in which ever community, and across the board.Tiggnutz wrote:It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism.

explain that better? should we not trust the people in positions of power? what is your position with this?Foo wrote:Sheep being led to the slaughter by the wolves.zombie wrote:if it's going to change, it probably needs to come first from the most visible, most powerful / public figures in which ever community, and across the board.Tiggnutz wrote:It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism.

You can't force people to not be racist it's something you must make the decision to be or not be.zombie wrote:if the people at the top work against it, then it's not likely to change at the bottom, at least not in a lasting way.Tiggnutz wrote:I agree but I also believe it's a bottom to top thingzombie wrote:if it's going to change, it probably needs to come first from the most visible, most powerful / public figures in which ever community, and across the board.Tiggnutz wrote:It does nothing but corner people and to be honest cause animosity that could morph into racism.

agreed. and that works on an individual level. it just doesn;t work so much on a cultural or societal level. you can decide to not be racist and try to encourage that in others around you, but if the majority see a public figure who is fanning the flames, or carving the wound deeper, then it's going to be counter productive, and it reaches far beyond your own scope of influence.Tiggnutz wrote: You can't force people to not be racist it's something you must make the decision to be or not be.
Agreed but give the every day citizen the benefit of the doubt. In America leaders come and go they may encourage or discourage things but I doubt they do more than reach people who already believe what they dozombie wrote:agreed. and that works on an individual level. it just doesn;t work so much on a cultural or societal level. you can decide to not be racist and try to encourage that in others around you, but if the majority see a public figure who is fanning the flames, or carving the wound deeper, then it's going to be counter productive, and it reaches far beyond your own scope of influence.Tiggnutz wrote: You can't force people to not be racist it's something you must make the decision to be or not be.

Society has this weird thing with following. Lead your life and earn respect. Lead by example, not by rhetoric. Everyone is an internet hero, and a real world loser.
