I’m Bi racial Jewish/Black.

This topic is in no way meant to be offensive. Open conversation is for all race/gender/religion/sex etc. let’s remain human and humane. If you feel upset then vent if you indifferent then speak assumptions opinions your facts alternative facts. For us to really understand each other we must be brave enough to talk. Be my guess.

“Do black ppl play the victim?

I’m going say No. Because in my America other races have inherited wealth off of the black slave free labor Creating generational wealth. Which already gave a 400 year head start then followed by another 100 or more years of segregation, cross burnings, lynchings, Over policing, Under policing, poor education, discrimination from banks to obtain loans and to mention Jim Crow laws that have kept blacks from escaping poverty. I’ll stop here.

So My answer is No.

Fundamentally its not about race. Race is just a tactic they use to divide and conquer. Its literally the oldest trick in the book.

Its about the haves and the have nots

Those that hold material power will have a hard time relinqiushing it. Its the gift that keeps on giving

I agree to this.

Would you say people are so easily divided because of fear or ego.

All humans play the victim. That's the reason why we won earth as a species. The larger humanoids with bigger brains were more about pure combat. Humans in general were much smaller, and all about ranged attacks and playing dead/ trying to play on the emotions of other intelligent humanoids. We are all about faking a threat or a demise to intimate and district threats. Or even domesticate those threats and get them on our side in the history of evolution. Because of playing the victim our smaller more fragile bodies get to live at the top of the food chain. Being the victim works for humans more then any other form of life on planet earth imo. We can play the victim better then pretty much every insect on earth too, which tells you something.

Wouldn't be surprised if you're a troll account, then again... I've seen far worst.

The answer is clearly (if we're to be objective) - YES for some people - and No for others. I've seen many who did/do play the victim, but i've also seen others who don't (even more than that - they're ashamed or pissed about people who make such generalizations - as if they talk in their name). Tho, to be fair - same goes for every group of people (in every group you'll find quite a lot of people - who play the victim card for personal interests - be it feminists, minorities, fanatics of any kind and so forth...). There's no room for generalization - when it comes to subjects like this (or at least, i'm not aware of any group - where all people have a strong character / cause obviously, the victim card is usually played by weak people who lack integrity - or by psychopaths).

I said races but I don’t really believe in race except the human race. I understand we do come in different skin colors but we are all human first. But the sake of this topic I used race Referring to skin color.

Your right race does not exist, we’re tribes who settled or had a nomadic life. We created political borders.

And NO black people don’t play victim.

I can't answer because truthfully I'd need to hear personal experiences by and from black people. I'm Asian but in the face of recent events, I don't even feel like a minority anymore simply because its been pointed out that another race has it worse than I do. Thats just the effect of things, or the effect of speaking out. I understand pain, but not fully. Maybe thats the issue. Growing up, I've always in the back of my mind, wondered why it seemed there was in intrinsic fear of police garnered within the black community. You watch some show like Cops or whatever and people run, causing the cops to chase when those who ran had done absolutely nothing. But why run? I'm not blaming but just observing. Sorry if thats off point. I hate seeing how even prison culture is associated with black men and women. There shouldn't be this need or association with a race and prison. I don't know anyone is prison, I can't even joke about it. But some can.. and that's sad.

Are black people victims? No. Are black people affected disproportionately. Hell yea.

The supremacist system does everything it can to break down communities, redlining, gentrification so that people stay dealing with things they shouldn't instead of overcoming.

I read a report once that your environment matters more than parenting when it comes to a child's success.

Environment culture community yes all these are important.



African tale says-

“The community that fails to love a child, will one day have to watch as that child grows up and burns that community to the ground.



These are the riots and protests.

I so agree with this....❤️

All the kids I've known who have gotten into trouble have come from homes where the relationship with the parents is poor. They've been crying out for love and attention.

A friend of our son, her brother has been caught dealing cocaine, he is 16, the mother is a workaholic and even in lockdown chooses to, most of the time be absent from her kids and they're left to fend for themselves emotionally...

Economic class and race often parallel each other globally. While race is not real in a biological sense at all, it is very real in a psycho-social sense and has a real impact based on a person's phenotype.

Saying it's a purely economic problem erases the problem which is that there is unequal protection of the law based on how someone looks, rather than their actual bad behavior.

The protests are because of a lack of cooperation, not an unwillingness to cooperate on behalf of the black community.


Excuses, excuses. Equal protection under the law. That isn't quantifiable, measurable, or justifiable. It's just a personal opinion, nothing more.
