A question for black people

I have a few questions about racism/conversations with black people . Whenever the subject of racism comes up 6 times out of 10, they say you dont know what its like you know nothing. Everytime I quietly think to myself, hey maybe i am more objective because i am not black? Never had the guts to actually say it. How would you react? That happened when we talked about subjects that touch racism implicitly not

directly such as the german police vs the american police. Or trump, or activism.

I have read on reddit that africa has problems because of geography. Its a gigantic strip of land

with not enough rivers and its far away, which is why its hard to transport goods, have an

exchange of ideas and contact with other civilations. Its not a coincidence that egypt

has a rich history and is well developed compared to other african countries. East germany

is poorly developed compared to hamburg or the netherlands for example

So whenever that subject comes up i just say the plight of africa and the underdevelopment

can be largely attributed to geography. For some reason many black people take offense to

that argument.

What do you think? Maybe its my delivery? Or my lack of empathy? I am also very cold to people who are emotional in arguments, i want people to refute my reasoning with arguments or agree with me.

But I will not be told to shut up. That is where i cannot stay restrained.

As long as these white hoes still wanna suck a nigga idgaf who don't like me.. a white nigga bitch will always be sexually attracted to bbc.. it just is what it is.. no matter the race that's why I always have options.. I know this not on topic but I don't really care

Next up, we will have men educating women about how it feels to have a vagina. Because maybe not having a vagina, makes them more objective about vaginas.

This topic will be followed by a TedTalk from select dxp members discussing how white privilege has failed them, and how to get their country back.

I get where bro coming from tho.. he just gotta be more tact because I don't think he understands how non-conforming black ppl really are frfr

Cool. Feel free to provide him with whatever knowledge he needs to better manplain racism and oppression to black people. Based on his objective opinion of course.

Nah he good he know the vibes. He not dumb. White people not dumb. They like to play games and shit. Really the dudes though because they mad they bitches don't wanna just fuck them only. That's where all this hate comes from because they do not want they girls to leave them I'm telling you. Hoes gon be hoes anyway but you already know it's a scientific fact that black people are more naturally and physically built stronger and girls just can't help but be attracted because anything feminine must submit to anything masculine so if we the most masculine race.. why you think we get the most hate. It's pure simple. I can't even count how many bitches or every race, they tell me feel about they own.. I'm telling you. I don't want to explain nothing to him though he know the vibes. This fake used to be a safe place for white ppl to be on they racist but I cut that shit out lowkey.. Like I said, they bitches fuck me everyday.. so.. I'll say that's a decent tradeoff for the racist shit they be doin to niggas.. god always got a funny way of rewarding those deserve to get rewarded. Everytime.

But this the last time I'ma talk about race because the shit corny to me though. This shit lowkey incel problems type shit I don't even use the word incel or nun. I'm good

This is probably off topic, but I've worked in neighborhoods that were fucked up when it comes to racism. Like truly privileged white people in nice vehicles yelling out slurs just because someone was crossing the road. It's so fucked up. Then that person has to spend the rest of their day, or life even just living with that memory. How would that not upset someone? And thats mild compared to some of the shit that happens.

Also I'm a white male so can't say I can truly relate. What I can say is white males fucked with me constantly back in school. They didn't like my long curly hair, they didn't like my red goatee, they didn't like my clothes. I got rocks and gum and thrown at me just for looking slightly different. So I dislike people like that, especially in a powerful position. Which is why I generally dislike cops and politicians.

Just this part, the rest was a rant lol. This feels like a bait thread. And yes dxp feels like a safe place for some people because there are like what 5 black people, 10 of us maybe?

Lol I gotta go but look..like I said, as long as these still jack me it's whatever with me like.. Say whatever

Hey I get it, i deserve the jokes, but I have diagnosed mental health issues that makes me bad at dealing with people. I am always raging in my head ready to cuss them out if I think they are about to make

an offensive/ridicolous statement about depression or personality disorders. So maybe I can draw

some analogies from that.



But is there anybody who can get serious for a second? Maybe @venusaquarius?

The only thing I got so far was that I probably lack a little tact and that racism is traumatic (ding ding i know). So if that subject comes up, it could be that the person i am talking is experiencing flashbacks

or fight or flight mode kicking in.

Also I do not mansplain I always like this: "I gotta plead ignorance on this, but I ve read this and that,

but could it be that it has to do with etc etc. "fill in a quote"

You can't quite understand how painfully unfairly someone has been treated for something unchosen such as race, sex, or ability unless you've lived as them.

I live as a white male in the 21th century, I totally get it

I know this might be a little off topic but I just want to do a little ranting if you will. I understand your point of view, op. Believe me I do.

Well anyway I just want to say I hate when other black people call me the N word or even refer to me as that thinking it's cool. Just don't do me like that just because I may look like your average cool black man. I don't like being summed up with the so call cool gang. That's not my preference. Now I'm not trying to act white. I just like to be respected as a regular normal man.

Am I saying something offensive when I ask you if you are a black person who doesnt always identifiy with

the typical black culture things in public media/hollywood? I met blacks who get shit on because they

are introverted, I met refugees from africa whose parents think something is wrong with them

for not being loud and chatty, who got abandoned for not believing in god.

Oh my post wasn't aimed at you in specific. It's just in general. So nah you not offending me with this question. Everybody is entitled to ask what they want and are entitled to their opinions.

It's impossible not to be subjective when it comes to matters like that so I get them. I get the hate towards entitled people, I get that there are still idiots who value people based on their skin color or see them differently so they may come accross those. But on the other hand, some people are plain idiots and they find any kind of reason to be against someone different than them. On the other hand what I don't get is "white priveledge" claim. When I read that I really want to beat that person so bad. As if when your skin is born white you get everything served on a gold platter and everyone does stuff for you. And as if there are no successful rich black people. So at that part many of them who are lazy af just play the victim card. Again, implies only to those with this kind of mindset.

We've had this discussion numerous times on here. White privilege does not mean you will get everything handed to you and it doesn't mean that you can't experience hardships. It basically means that you're given the benefit of the doubt and you have a longer string before someone really corrects you etc. It's like not being watched when you go into a store or followed around, where as someone who isn't white, may. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this changed regarding the populace make up. Like I would think that I might be more likely to be watched in a store or whatever if I'm in a "non-white" area. Meaning that I would just be the minority in the situation and maybe they don't deal with a ton of white people in the area etc.

Honestly I see no difference. Mainly because there are very few black people where I live and yes you can get misjudged equally as a white person. Has it ever happened to you that a police stops you on the streets and holds you there as a suspect for theft? Well this happened to me. Can't describe enough the embarrassment. They stopped me and a friend and kept us waiting until the victim of theft arrived to confirm or deny if it was us cause we fit the description. So yup, as a white person you are treated just the same everywhere in the world. It's just them that think this happens only to them cause numbers are different where they live. I think everyone just has perspective from the place where they are and doesn't realize things work just the same everywhere else.

Again, it doesn't mean that nothing bad can happen to you. If you can't understand that, not bothering with explaining anything else.

Perhaps I can parahrase this and post on a site with more black posters to help you get more responses.

Dear Lipstick Alley,

My white male friend is sick of being excluded from conversations regarding racism by his black friends. He has read a lot on the topic of racism and feels he is uniquely positioned to objectively discuss what implicit racism and microaggressions are like.

Furthermore, based on his readings, geography, not racism or neocolonialism is the primary plight of Africa and its lack of development. Before you ask, no he has not read "King Leopold's Ghost" or any other books about colonialism, but he did learn a lot of information from reddit.

He stated he will not be told to shut up any longer. And is seeking advice from black people as to how he can have his voice heard while discussing the lived experience of racism with people of color.

Suggestions?

So people on lipstick alley are liars and word twisters? Somebody should write a book, the ghost of

trump. You should read it, as soon as it comes out. I rarely talk about the subject but when I do I

have a hard time dealing with peoples emotions. I also make it a point to say that i dont have an

informed opinion but what do you think of this random snippets of information, just like normal

people do when they converse. Which is why I find the hostilitly unfair. But okay, we are talking

trauma when we are talking racism, so next time i ll be understanding. Thank you for your input anyways.

You spew so much ignorant, stupid shit out of your ass and don't even stop to think things through before you comment.

The worst part is that you think you're right without a shadow of a doubt. Must be that dense Aries Moon of yours.

It's like ... someone would have to break your skull for you to get a simple concept through your head and make you see things from a different perspective, outside of your own limited personal experience.

Okay I am out, I was diagnozed with schizoid personality disorder, which is why social situations that

are barely worth thinking about if you are normal, are an insurmountable obstacle at times. I hoped I would get a few pointers. But please continue the debate its interesting to read, the jokes and word twisting I could do withoutl.

If geography is your logical conclusion on why Africa is poorly developed, then I have news for you buddy.

You're gonna get eaten alive making those type of suggestions.

This is a red herring fallacy. You got questioned one time and you're comparing your experience to racism, while side-stepping OP's ignorance on the topic under the guise of "we're all treated unfairly."

You really think that geography isn't a factor?

Humm, let's look at the world before the globalization era, back before the XVI century.

Africa had at least 2 empires that were rich enough to stand the test of time, but they still colapsed.

Where do you think it's easier to build infrastructure, in the green fields of Italy, France, Iberia, or in the deserts of upper Africa?

Also, it would be nearly impossible to build any type of infrastructure in the southern jungle part of it. I mean, besides humanity having no tools to chop all of those dense vegetation back in those days, wildlife also plays a role on the major difficulty of it.

Can you make your point on why geography didn't play a role, but based on an era before globalization and global empires? (honest question)

That might be your experience in t h a t part of the world. Dare I say "white privilege" terminology primarily depicts racial/ethnic disparities in the USA and other parts of the world where colonial powers left their unpleasant, indelible mark.

Cause you're talking about Africa as it's one big country, come-on now, that's the shit people hate.
You do know there are many countries in Africa and every country is different than the other.

Did I ? Where did I said that ?

Is this one of the things where you imagine stuff and say stuff that I didn't say in order for you to make "a point" on the internet ?

The only person that actually referred to Africa as a Country, was you (you edited now..).

We can talk about the deserts of Mongolia (Gobi deserts), or the rocky regions of the Himalayas that stand between the 2 biggest countries in terms of population in the world (more then half of all world's populations) and yet, they are devoid of population or any major infrastructure. Your pick.

The principle is the same. Lack of basic infrastructure due to terrain, the pillars of any society.

So, go play with your friends somewhere else, ok ? Ignore me or block me. Your pick again.

I'll give you a real answer your @Parkourler

In the US, you will find every kind of social culture. That means there are parts there really is racism. To be honest it's passed down like PTSD. Generational trauma that's taught. Both sides of it. One feeds into the other.

I'm in California. The most diverse state.

I and everyone else will absolutely profile but it has nothing to do with skin color. Rather that culture I spoke of.

I know almost instantly if I'm dealing with a racist person because I'm mixed and I get a slight reaction from both sides of the racist mentality. That is until I open my mouth and start talking to them. The ones with victim complex are hyper focused and see the world that way. Even though the same people they bing as racist in their mind, I get no vibes from.

I recently had a 6'3 250ish lbs 50+ old black man come to my area for the holidays. He was dressed like a college professor and probably was. He was getting looks from everyone.

He had gotten a up and down look from a Mexican guy in his 40s chubby and short wearing a jersey ( 49rs sports fan) when he walked into the store. Dude is a regular coming for a case of beer.

He just assumed racism and said you got to stand up for yourself and blah blah blah when he was at the check stand with me.

He just assumed racism rather then the fact his dress style and demeanor was so out of place for our area. It was curiosity.

I have met many black people stuck in the racist mindset that really doesn't apply to their generation but that trauma and mentality was passed down to them.

As for Africa in general. It is mostly very impoverished because of exploration in the past more the geographic limitations. They have their own form of racism. ( tribalism).

Most humans in a state of scarcity and survival will go to our basic instincts to survive. That means, tribalism and other unsavory mindsets in order to survive. Desperate people just trying to survive tend to do things against each other.

I talk to a woman in Ghana and send her money for her schooling and small business she is trying to get started. She got her nursing degree and reopened her local pharmacy with the approval of local elders and is trying to get that up and running. The previous owners just abandoned the place and closed down. Been closed down for years.

She said most people are just trying to survive and people are mean and only look out for themselves.

We've had this discussion numerous times on here. White privilege does not mean you will get everything handed to you and it doesn't mean that you can't experience hardships. It basically means that you're given the benefit of the doubt and you have a longer string before someone really corrects you etc. It's like not being watched when you go into a store or followed around, where as someone who isn't white, may. Although I wouldn't be surprised if this changed regarding the populace make up. Like I would think that I might be more likely to be watched in a store or whatever if I'm in a "non-white" area. Meaning that I would just be the minority in the situation and maybe they don't deal with a ton of white people in the area etc.

Honestly I see no difference. Mainly because there are very few black people where I live and yes you can get misjudged equally as a white person. Has it ever happened to you that a police stops you on the streets and holds you there as a suspect for theft? Well this happened to me. Can't describe enough the embarrassment. They stopped me and a friend and kept us waiting until the victim of theft arrived to confirm or deny if it was us cause we fit the description. So yup, as a white person you are treated just the same everywhere in the world. It's just them that think this happens only to them cause numbers are different where they live. I think everyone just has perspective from the place where they are and doesn't realize things work just the same everywhere else.

That might be your experience in t h a t part of the world. Dare I say "white privilege" terminology primarily depicts racial/ethnic disparities in the USA and other parts of the world where colonial powers left their unpleasant, indelible mark.

That's why I pointed out that people here are treated equally, (poorly or good, both) meaning idk how things work out there about this issue, but that terminology always annoyed me cause here honestly no one could tell a difference even in that mistreatment.

I understand what you are trying to convey given the region, it's history and overall ppls attitudes/ culture, however, and you'll forgive me for saying this, it is highly arrogant (to say the least) to speak on other ppls behalf. Afterall, regardless how "objective" our observations might be, we are not in other ppls shoes. We can't possibly know what it is to be other ethnicity than the one we already are & what implication the color (including but not limited to other physical features) of our skin might have on our lives.

Is the situation and attitudes more favorable over there!?, probably if not most likely! That being said, you made a germane point yourself where you pointed out that you were/are using a very small country, with turbulent history and diverse populance as an example to explain your annoyance with the "white privilege" phrase. Which in turn goes back to what I was initially saying in that the phrase depicts circumstances on a wold wide scale so saying one is annoyed by the said phrase, does not really reflect a thorough understanding of a broader picture...it's all!

Am I saying something offensive when I ask you if you are a black person who doesnt always identifiy with

Yeah I don't know what some people got against calling some people by their birth names. Maybe I should reiterate my post. I was in a rush when I posted on here. I should have said I would hate to be call the N word. Cus actually nobody never called me that. I've been called all sorts of names and big man being just one of them. Still gets called that. It's not that I got something against being called big man cus I am a big one but still besides the point. People seem to have some sort of issues calling me by my actual name. I really don't like that N word being thrown around at nobody but it's a whole different ballgame when it's thrown around in rap music. Like I'm talking old school rap music. From the 80s and parts of the 90s. Kinda like that N word was made and fit for the rap game.

On a real note though it might be hard to believe I very seldom ever use cuss words unless I'm mad at someone. I'll then throw every cuss word out that you can imagine possible. Everything except that N word. I keep that word out. O.U.T out.

If geography is your logical conclusion on why Africa is poorly developed, then I have news for you buddy.
You're gonna get eaten alive making those type of suggestions.

You really think that geography isn't a factor?
Humm, let's look at the world before the globalization era, back before the XVI century.
Africa had at least 2 empires that were rich enough to stand the test of time, but they still colapsed.
Where do you think it's easier to build infrastructure, in the green fields of Italy, France, Iberia, or in the deserts of upper Africa?
Also, it would be nearly impossible to build any type of infrastructure in the southern jungle part of it. I mean, besides humanity having no tools to chop all of those dense vegetation back in those days, wildlife also plays a role on the major difficulty of it.
Can you make your point on why geography didn't play a role, but based on an era before globalization and global empires? (honest question)

You really think that geography isn't a factor?


Cause you're talking about Africa as it's one big country, come-on now, that's the shit people hate.


You do know there are many countries in Africa and every country is different than the other.

Did I ? Where did I said that ?

Is this one of the things where you imagine stuff and say stuff that I didn't say in order for you to make "a point" on the internet ?

The only person that actually referred to Africa as a Country, was you (you edited now..).

We can talk about the deserts of Mongolia (Gobi deserts), or the rocky regions of the Himalayas that stand between the 2 biggest countries in terms of population in the world (more then half of all world's populations) and yet, they are devoid of population or any major infrastructure. Your pick.

The principle is the same. Lack of basic infrastructure due to terrain, the pillars of any society.

So, go play with your friends somewhere else, ok ? Ignore me or block me. Your pick again.

It was an honest mistake and I'd say I only made that cause most people here talk about Africa as one big place where black people live.

And I'm not even talking about deserts or mountains that require a lot of technology and MONEY to make a place inhabitable ( we can surely take Saudi Arabia as a good example for that )

I'm talking about even the places where people can build a solid infrastructure but they can't cause they're either being sucked by France or fighting in a civil war, why not taking that as the main factor.

And why would you know better than my experience? I was born and raised here?and unlike you I don't take my information from Reddit.

Have you even been to Africa? Are you African?

I suggest you go and educate yourself.

Didn't I say before XVI century ? You should know that French African occupation was on the XVII century..You missed that day in school I guess ? Maybe you should try reddit.

And what is your point ?! I really can't get it.... Or can I ?...

Because I clearly said before XVI because I wanted to focus on places that had no interference from any European major power and where rich in resources enough to make themselves a proper power house (on their own).

And as you know from your African school, all North Africa was occupied by the Romans for 500 years and since the Third Punic War back at the end of 146 BC. So..this kinda of automatically disqualifies all of them on what I am trying to say....?

And also, must I remind you that the topic is focused in African regions where the majority of the population is Black ?

In the end, all you wanted was to pinch in to say that "Hey, not all the population in Africa is black", I mean, from where I stand, it seems to me that you actually took it too heart that some people might think that all African people are black.

So, don't mix me in your personal crusades, ok ? Know your place.

Take care.

Uh, can you repeat the question?

Egyptian empire, that collapsed due to a drought that lasted for a century (lack of infrastructures that could not bring in water to the empire like for instance, aqueducts).

Uh, can you repeat the question?

Why can't white people discuss racism with black people without being told to shut up about it because "they don't know what it's like to be discriminated against"

That's the question

p.s I have NO opinion on the matter haha

click to expand

Oh ok. Racism is touchy because you're asking someone who possesses a certain trait, usually just physically, why someone else offended them. And if you say, this is why you're offended or shouldn't be offended, it can be dismissive. I will say that the more you look to be offended, the more you are. But there is no real objective way about it because it's an interactional thing between two people and not the rest of the world. But what does geography have to do with racism. You're not racist against mountains?? Lol. 😅 Excuse

The question was, am i more objective in a debate about racism because I havent experienced it?

I dont think so because the people with strong opinions are the ones who are a lot more

knowledgeable about it.

Second, to suggest that africa is underdeveloped SOLELY because of its geography is super offensive

and unfair because it doesnt take colonialism into account and somehow makes it sound as if africa

is inherently fucked. So i can see why i got chewed out. I meant geography is one of many reasons why its hard for africa to develop today.

I am obviously like sheldon cooper or doktor data when I get irritated that people get worked

up when speaking about basically lifelong dehumanisation and lifelong traumatisation?

"Maybe it's my delivery?"

"Or my lack of empathy?"



Aju: First let me say...

Every culture and race has a wound from the past. Earth as you know isn't a perfect place.

Please be aware that your less desirable answers more than likely come from this wound.

I'm sure you can think of others even outside the subject of race who have a wound in

which any discussion about it is risky. I would just be more aware of this if you can.



"How would you react?"

Aju: I'm usually very chill lol and very well-tempered and I listen first

and then give feedback. I'm more* chill in person off line.

Think Snoop Dog and Bill Murry Energy. This doesn't offend me at all

, your discussion here.



"What do you think?"

Aju: Do I think it's geography?

We as humans let anything block our success because of our minds. I believe

it is the mind of Africa and the mind of the world. that is the reason.

I completely agree. That is the way I feel about women who like to call each other "bitch". My friends know I don't call them that and will not accept that from them. They know my name, so use it.

Yeah I don't know what some people got against calling some people by their birth names. Maybe I should reiterate my post. I was in a rush when I posted on here. I should have said I would hate to be call the N word. Cus actually nobody never called me that. I've been called all sorts of names and big man being just one of them. Still gets called that. It's not that I got something against being called big man cus I am a big one but still besides the point. People seem to have some sort of issues calling me by my actual name. I really don't like that N word being thrown around at nobody but it's a whole different ballgame when it's thrown around in rap music. Like I'm talking old school rap music. From the 80s and parts of the 90s. Kinda like that N word was made and fit for the rap game.

On a real note though it might be hard to believe I very seldom ever use cuss words unless I'm mad at someone. I'll then throw every cuss word out that you can imagine possible. Everything except that N word. I keep that word out. O.U.T out.

Yeah me too. Funny, because Gemini's can cuss up a storm when mad. LOL.

The quiet gems are far more capable of taking action behind all their anger. If only the right button is pushed otherwise it's just a lot of trash talking with swearing words and terrible insults going on. I think it's best to try and stay on geminis good side.
