White people overly emotional?

I usually don't make race threads but today was an acception because this theme kept reaccuring in my head. I've always heard whites say blacks act off of emotion as opposed to intellect. Today I noticed how sensitive white people are when it comes to everything.

Only difference between b&w is whites first instinct is to snitch lol

It's healthy you are expressing this.

It would make sense for white people to feel comfortable snitching ..the system is our friend etc. Whereas for the black community traditionally it has not been. That might account for the difference.

The sensitivity ...yes ...we're right about everything. Our feelings are paramount etc ...

I am TOTALLY guilty of this 😛

But on the other hand ..is sensitivity not a good thing? Personally i think todays society needs more sensitivity. We all have to be sensitive to each other.

Sometimes peoples sensitivities can hinder group performance.

What about olive skin or Asian skin colour... where do they fall on the spectrum? This different species of human categorised by skin colour is fascinating.

I'm 3% African according to ancestry.com.... 👌🖕✌

And still born with a inverted dick.

Too bad

Dont be a sensitive Sally, toad. It's a fucken compliment. Every person on this planet has at least 3% African DNA..

It's a compliment how?

At the end of the day I could care less really. Unless it’s making me money, paying bills, or making my woman happy I could care less what people think.

Blk ppl are always the "aggressive and defensive ones" even with a soft tone and chains on.. How dare they!

I swear folks who "could care less" betray themselves every time because the people who really care less are kinda out and about doing other shit that they DO care about 😆.

I say all of the above with out hate or malice but I gotta say the "I'm above it all veneer" you are presenting rings hollow af 😆

I have to say, that’s the first attack I’ve ever had towards me on dxpnet. I guess I’m official now lol.

On a side note, I do my own thing every day. I’m doing it right now too.

I would like to know though, why should I care about things that have nothing to do with me? Would you prefer me to? If more people spent more time minding their own business and living their own lives rather then telling others what they should be doing, I bet those people would be living a much better life. If you sit and wait for the world to make your life for you, you will be spending your entire life waiting. Do something for yourself for once, and stop depending on the world to carry you.

Words fit for transference to a friend who is immobilized by the words within this thread...but I haven't seen that person here yet lol.

As for my investiture in your willful ignorance, I have none so long as you are quiet and unobstructive. Speak out on how issues of race are so below your notice and then thats when I say.....hmmm thats a lot of words for alleged non care lol.

Regardless, I am ultimately inclined to agree with the messaging so long as it's tempered by a healthy dose of acknowledgment of the larger context in which someone's non-care exists.

To answer your question, no racism towards me does not bother me.

If I let it bother me what kind of person would that make me? I’m not about to let the world tell me how to think or feel. I decide that for myself. Just like every person of every race who’s actually making a life for themselves. Rather then letting life pass them by, and letting the unfairness of life destroy them.

Or better yet, letting the words of people who share the same color as them tell them they should feel weak, and should feel worthless. Rather then telling them how much they are actually worth, and how strong they actually are.

HOW DARE YOU

Ya those fuckin white people man

I mean yo, do you, but if you looking for me to say "you right, you shouldn't care" ..... not finnin ta happen b lol.

I do feel you a bit, I understand the need to make a life for oneself, but what I am saying is that need for security and autonomy does not free us from a duty to be a decent citizen and a compassionate human being.

Personally, though I am in the chase for a good life, with a pretty formidable mental constitution...I know that there are forces arrayed against black folk, globally.

Those forces congeal into the concept of racism and trust black folks that isn't some mystical force that doesn't care about people of color even if poc didn't care to acknowledge its existence.

For the average black person in America there is a general knowledge that there are people (as intent as you are on creating a life), creating conditions that make living unduly more difficult for POC. People are actively creating the conditions for racism to exist. It is a documented social phenomenon so this isn't about personal sentiments at the end of the day. Racism is a result of concerted efforts and maintained thought systems, yes it is a coincidence that it exists...and yes not every coincidence is worth paying attention to....but bruh?......this is one that matters and your feigned apathy is harmful If you really didn't care this conversation would be below ya.

But since you are here and apparently do care enough to engage in the conversation, racism does exist as a system of norms and institutions and suppressing it requires way more than a spot of intentional apathy.

Him thinking as an individual, and not seeing himself as part of a collective thought, doesn’t mean he isn’t a decent human being or a non-compassionate person.

Yohkay, all I will say on that, is that neither of those states of being mean non-care about the plight of others.

Really we can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

The moment you can't make a claim like that seem credible is the moment you walk into thread about racism and its effects and pull a Melania "I don't really care, do you?"

At that point you are no longer just quietly not caring...just living your life quietly and obliviously. You are talking to people who clearly do care and were not seeking you out and telling them that the conversation is below you. That shows a lack of compassion if "I don't care" is all you can muster in the face of the information that abounds within the thread of itself.

Really the comment of not caring about race is the apathy that civil rights leaders in the States and globally have been talking about for decades.

Your country cares too much about race.

That’s the problem.

As we should. Hell.. segregated schools were still a thing only 50 years ago. Voter suppression is a very real thing during elections for Black and Hispanic folks in this country too.

Yep because everyone cares about race.

They do when racism effects them or someone they care about.. or are just a decent human being.

I’m not saying don’t care about it.

I’m saying America focuses on it enormously.

Because it should be focused on because it IS an issue when it shouldn't be. it needs to be addressed and fixed not ignored like it's not happening.

She didn't say it shouldn't be focused on. She said it still should be focused on but not at an obsessive level to the exclusion of everything else. There are other tools of divisiveness being used aside from race.

Example: when people say Asians don't experience racism because we are economically better off than blacks. That's really a class issue.

Posted by Aqua__

OMG stop with categorising people by their race. Just because you’ve met a bunch of white people who are overly emotional does not mean white people in general are.

I’ve met loads of white people who’ve lacked emotion so this is completely inaccurate. I’ve also met an equal share of black and white snitches so that is also completely false.

Get out more, the world is so diverse. I really find threads like this so pointless and stupid.

Kind of the point Arielle83 was trying to make.

The focus is "enormous" because it is necessary to really have an egalitarian society where POC are not treated as 2nd class citizens (or non-citizens). And to reiterate other countries could REALLY care to focus on it more.

You want other countries to focus on America’s issues?

Nope, I want other countries to stop acting like they don't have significant issues with race because they absolutely do. As a White passing Australian, I hope you realize your narrative is extremely similar to other white passing individuals in other countries.

She's not Australian though.

Also what makes you think other countries are acting like they have no significant issues with racism? It may seem that way on the outside...

I didn't imply or state she said that it should be ignored or not focused on. I simple am saying it's something that isn't going to go away by not addressing it and no not every American is obsessive over this topic. I rarely involve myself on these threads because I see people as humans not as different shades of skin. But maybe my own lack of involvement is a harmful thing.

But I jumped In an ongoing convo between them so I apologize to you both. My main point was to say ignoring an issue doesn't gain anyone anything really.

But ther's a high cost in burying your head. For instance that shooting happened in California. Am i not supposed to be concerned?

I can be anywhere and some nut might get me. Imagine being black. That's your world 24/7 Where you're uncomfortable. You don't know wtf is going to happen

Do you think ppl want to feel this way? That they choose this life of always having to question ppls intentions

The Thousand Oaks shooting wasn’t racially motivated though. A bunch of college kids in a sleepy quiet suburb.

And a sick ptsd vet who wasn’t given care.

On top of that he had a legal firearm.

What failed us here wasn’t gun control, it was lack of help.

I don't think that's what she's saying.

White folks are scared they might get shot up while shopping/watching a movie/etc.. Although it's a growing issue we fail to address, it's honestly a recent phenomena.

Since we colonized America, Black folks have been in fear for their lives. From being beaten/raped/enslaved.. To having patrol Polly calling the police on then for enjoying a nice day while grilling, and wondering if they'll be pumped full of lead when police arrive.

The IRRATIONAL fear of black men and women has existed since the founding of this country, and black men/women will continue to be afraid of dying until that irrational fear by white folks ceases to exist.

click to expand

No I understand her point. I think she’s using the wrong example. White people dont fear getting shot up in a bar in a sleepy suburb town. This was an anomaly.

Personally, i don't know any white people - but i i've seen one in a video:



... and indeed, he sure seems to have strong emotional cravings. 💩 Don't know where those strange people leave tho, or if they're human... 🤔

When I go to weho, the Abby or pump, yeah it crosses my mind. Especially gay pride weekend. Like if there’s gonna be a shooting this is where it’s gonna happen.

Not bum fucked Thousand Oaks. My mind is still blown.

Well here's news for you @Black-Mamba.  White people like any people don't like being defined as evil or GUILTY  incarnates because a bunch of European ancestors conquered a bunch of Africans (or Native Americans) on their soil and did what any conquerors from Genghis Khan to the Ottoman Empire deemed natural, historically speaking. It is not by definition a white thing. African tribes were doing it to eachother long before the first white man stepped on African soil. Europeans just did it more effectively. Boo hoo !



Chill the fuck out with WHITE EVIL thing  bc it doesnt reasonate with most white people . It only serves to further alienate   people from the issue at hand.



The white people I find overly emotional though, are cuckold hipsters types and feebleminded social justice warriors that are white females, who btw cannot in any way or form identify with the issue itself, neither the race issue or being a black or any-other-race woman... they're just these sick little masochists who feel the need to mother the underdog. It's like some really backwards  Munchausen by proxy twist only with social justice.



That's overly emotional white people for ya

If it's an anomaly, why the need for gun control measures?

If it's an anomaly, why the need for active shooter classes in most bigger businesses (I have to take one every year)?

If it's an anomaly, why post graphics on dxp pointing out the amount of mass shootings in 2018?

You forget California has the strictest gun control measures.

He is ex military and gun was obtained legally.

The anomaly was the location of the shooting.

None of those people walked into the bar thinking there was even the slightest chance something like that would go down.

I know Thousand Oaks intimately. This is a city people move their families to for the great schools and gated communities. Pay a premium for it too.

If it's an anomaly, why post graphics on dxp pointing out the amount of mass shootings in 2018?

You forget California has the strictest gun control measures.

He is ex military and gun was obtained legally.

The anomaly was the location of the shooting.

None of those people walked into the bar thinking there was even the slightest chance something like that would go down.

I know Thousand Oaks intimately. This is a city people move their families to for the great schools and gated communities. Pay a premium for it too.

So people expect to be killed in a mass shooting elsewhere?

Schools, churches, concert venues or events.

Not the sleepy safe little suburb, no.

Why was Trump elected? A great number of reasons,

Because Obama was elected prior to him.

Why was Obama elected?

Because we had to put up with the incompetence and bafoonery of Bush. And so on.

For every reaction, there's a counter reaction. For every step taken towards leftist politics, there's going to be one taken towards the right next time. This is how history 'repeats itself'.

Order follows chaos, and vice versa. That's why we only have to sit through Trump's bafoonery for a little while longer before things mend themselves back to the less extreme. I'm not too worried.

These are just phases and they are consistant throughout recent (American) history.

I am an African it's easy to bury my head as my father wants me too and stick to the American dream

But ther's a high cost in burying your head. For instance that shooting happened in California. Am i not supposed to be concerned?

I can be anywhere and some nut might get me. Imagine being black. That's your world 24/7 Where you're uncomfortable. You don't know wtf is going to happen

Do you think ppl want to feel this way? That they choose this life of always having to question ppls intentions

The Thousand Oaks shooting wasn’t racially motivated though. A bunch of college kids in a sleepy quiet suburb.

And a sick ptsd vet who wasn’t given care.

I don't think that's what she's saying.

White folks are scared they might get shot up while shopping/watching a movie/etc.. Although it's a growing issue we fail to address, it's honestly a recent phenomena.

Since we colonized America, Black folks have been in fear for their lives. From being beaten/raped/enslaved.. To having patrol Polly calling the police on then for enjoying a nice day while grilling, and wondering if they'll be pumped full of lead when police arrive.

The IRRATIONAL fear of black men and women has existed since the founding of this country, and black men/women will continue to be afraid of dying until that irrational fear by white folks ceases to exist.

No I understand her point. I think she’s using the wrong example. White people dont fear getting shot up in a bar in a sleepy suburb town. This was an anomaly.

If it's an anomaly, why the need for gun control measures?

If it's an anomaly, why the need for active shooter classes in most bigger businesses (I have to take one every year)?

Not the sleepy safe little suburb, no.

There are schools, churches, events in sleepy safe little suburbs.

There are mentally ill people in sleepy safe little suburbs.

There are guns in sleepy safe little suburbs.

Columbine was a sleepy safe little suburb.

Newtown, Connecticut was a sleepy safe little suburb.

Sutherland Springs, Texas

Parkland, Florida

I'm telling you how people, myself included, that live in this community or have contact with this community feel. This completely blindsided everyone. And we can't blame it on lax gun laws.

So to come full circle, I don't think referencing this shooting as something white people fear is the best example for cc's argument.

I usually don't make race threads but today was an acception because this theme kept reaccuring in my head. I've always heard whites say blacks act off of emotion as opposed to intellect. Today I noticed how sensitive white people are when it comes to everything.

Only difference between b&w is whites first instinct is to snitch lol

could you elaborate on this snitching concept

Posting the "facts" as vaguely as you did really discounts the idea that what happened in California is an anomaly. ijs

How neat, how tidy, and how quarter true...especially considering the history of this nation. What you said isn't entirely untrue however it also ignores and I will say purposefully the active racist legacy and history of this nation. And its nice that you as a white person are not worried, as a black person surrounded by POC from multiple states and countries we ain't so confident in the establishments intent because of things they are doing recently and right now.

What you call a phase, a spot of bigotry, is our day to day. That you can't see the privilege of feeling alright when many (the majority?) of POC groups do not is exactly the type of white privilege that POC especially black folk are saying is an issue.

I wasn't saying that the bigotry or racism is a phase, that's always going to be an issue in a country where one group of people are an estimated 12% of the population while White Americans are a 60% majority..

Fair point.

In my opinion they won. It's not the ultimate victory I would have hoped for or that I would like to see in the future but both certainly shattered the status quo of their time.

I'd say that not acknowledging this is a disservice to them and those who fought alongside them as well as to those who died.

click to expand

Ghandi might have been passive resistance. But I've never viewed King that way. Until his death majority of Americans viewed him in a disapproving light. Civil -disobedience was not okay. And look at the current attitude towards athletes taking a knee?!

In many ways things have improved. But in many ways they haven't. Thats not winning to most.

That we are seeing upward of 300k folks purged from the polls (most of them black) in a race being run by a white man with a documented record of racist policy and anti-democratic sentiment is lost on too many folks on this thread.

You don't appeal to the compassion and humanity of folks in a situation like that you fight like hell and call the shit out.
