Dr Francis Welsin Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I was reading a few experiences where Black parents who claim to be pro black express shock and anger that their child decides to marry a white person. They all say the same thing "how could this be? I thought them about black history and took them to multiple museums and surrounded them with exceptional black people". Teaching you Black child about black history will not make them stay away from white people. Teaching your black child about racism will. Teaching black history to black children and teaching black children about racism will yield 2 different outcomes. If your black child looks at every white person as a racist suspect then you have successfully taught them about racism. If your black child looks at a white person and believes its "not all of them" then you have done a poor job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your black child looks at a white person and believes its "not all of them" then you have done a poor job. @Dr Francis Welsin I disagree with your rationale. I think it's wrong to raise racists, whether you are Black or white. Why teach your children to hate another race? People are going to be attracted to, get down with, and marry whoever they want. Personally, I am not attracted to white men and I don't understand why a Black woman would want to be with one. Other than money I don't see what they have to offer. But Black men probably choose a white woman because those chicks will do backflips to get the D. What man wouldn't want a woman that waits on him all day long. And we all know that most Sisters aren't going to do all of that. Years ago I had a Black friend/co-worker, he was in the military and he was married to a Korean woman. I asked him why he chose her and he said that all the Black women he knew asked him to give them money to get their hair and nails done. And then when he went to Korea he met this woman and she did everything for him including giving him money. So he married her. I didn't care for the idea of him marrying the Korean, but I understood his reasoning. People are going to marry the person that suits them, most people don't choose their spouse based on what their parents or anyone else thinks about it. ************************************************************************************ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that Blacks don't have the ability to implement institutional racism against whites? As to whether slavery would not have happened if Africans had known in advance what was up, who knows what people were thinking about back then. We don't know whether those Africans ever saw a white person before or if they had any reason to be suspicious of their intentions.

I keep reading lines such as this and it makes me chuckle. "If Black people had the ability to be racist, Slavery would have never happened?" Really? Hopefully, you do understand that it was African Blacks who captured and then later sold their brethren to Slave traders. This is a foolish conversation. I am more concerned with young Black men stalking our inner cities with firearms gunning down each other, passers-by and the occasional child. That so many Blacks refuse Covid vaccines and decline to wear facemasks seems more worrisome for me.

We need to adhere to some standard of word usage, especially on a discussion forum. And even more so if we are writers and authors. Could you imagine reading a book where the writer has made up their own words and definitions; that would be rather confusing. It's kind of like having a conversation with someone who uses words that they don't know the meaning of. For example, have you ever had a conversation with a person that did not know the difference between "perpetrate" and "perpetuate?" While the two words sound similar, they have very different meanings. If each of us defined the meaning of words differently then we would be unable to communicate effectively, and that is the reason we have reference sources such as dictionaries. The word "RACISM" has a couple of different meanings which is why I asked OP if she meant INSTITUTIONAL RACISM, but she seems to be hung up on something else. ************************************************************************************ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is dominant in Asia these days and is slowly, but surely making major inroads into controlling the mineral wealth of Black Africa. Arab nations control the oil wealth of the Mid East. And Whites are resigned to begging their leaders for help when oil prices rise too high. It is not so much White Supremacy that put Caucasians on top economically. It was always the inability of Native peoples to coalesce and stay united to confront a common enemy that led to their downfall and conquering. Believe it or not, White Supremacists are not that smart. It is an undercurrent of constant disunity, disaffection and jealousy which plagues People of Color. Take a look at this forum.

It is mostly nonsense and designed to bolster their choice of political champions. I will assume that you are addressing me, since I am an open Conservative. In case you don't know about me, I am the daughter of a military family, an Army wife of a Vietnam veteran who served this nation for over fifty years, and I am a retired Department of the Army civil servant. I am committed to freedom and liberty, truth and dignity, because I AM AN AMERICAN PATRIOT! Freedom and liberty are under attack by a DEMOCRAT administration that, among other things, is attempting to force its citizens to take unproven and dangerous vaccines. A DEMOCRAT administration that violates its citizen's Constitutional rights by telling us what we can and cannot say. We can't call it the Wuhan virus, we can't call it the China virus, we can't call people illegal aliens, we must refer to them as non-citizens and on and on. Our human rights are being violated and you people are too dumb to know it. TRUTH and DIGNITY. Some of you have forgotten what TRUTH really is. The TRUTH is that we have a career liar and plagiarist in the White House. A plagiarist who had to drop out of the 1988 presidential campaign because he got caught using other politician's speeches and writings. Because he's too dumb to come up with his own original content. Biden is a chronic liar who lies about EVERYTHING. He made a bunch of ridiculous campaign promises that he didn't even bother to try to fulfill. He said he would eradicate COVID. As we all know, that is not happening. Biden recently declared that COVID is not a federal issue, that the states will need to deal with it. Biden's self-inflicted crises range from Keystone XL pipeline shutdown to open borders. Biden's entire family is corrupt. Biden uses his own son as a shill to conduct all of his shady business dealings, allowed him to use Air Force Two over four-hundred times while he was vice president. Now this stumbling, fumbling, mumbling idiot has caused so much damage to the nation, people are worried if we can ever recover. Second in line to Biden, we have Kamala Harris. A woman who is notorious for sleeping her way up the career ladder. A woman who has proven herself to be incompetent to hold her position. Whenever a journalist poses a serious question to her, she throws her head phony back and belly laughs. I am sick of it. I could write a book about this disgusting woman, but I won't since she's not even worth the bother. Third in line to succeed presidential office, we have the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, a woman who has enriched herself while in office to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. It has recently been revealed that she and her husband have utilized the information she received while in office in order to invest in the stock market. This is insider trading, it is illegal and in violation of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012. Yet she is the one who attempted to impeach President Trump on numerous occasions for minor and made-up infractions, while she herself was engaged in criminal conduct. On top of that her own district is a dystopian disaster zone. Please don't talk to me about anything I post being bullshit when you and your cohorts are the ones posting a bunch of crap and lies. ************************************************************************************ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Mzuri, Props to your parent who served in the Vietnam War. If you have proof that Kamala Harris slept her way to the top write your book, then. Your tome should be protected by the First Amendment. Accusing someone of criminal wrongdoing without proof is the domain of rumor mongers. And insider trading is supposed to be a crime. But we both know it is selectively prosecuted, similar to illegal campaign contributions. If you have definitive knowledge that will hold up to legal scrutiny, then you should disclose it to prove your contentions. Or else, it is just negative phony gossip, the kind Newsmax spews. And in the interest of full disclosure, I also believe Kamala Harris is a lightweight and was the wrong choice for the country's first woman VP. I would have preferred Stacey Abrams, who is much logical, thoughtful and a proven campaigner. But Ms. Abrams would have been the butt of fat Black woman jokes. And the resulting vitriol would have distracted from her innate intelligence. I cannot believe that you claim to be the daughter of a war veteran and yet, support Donald Trump, a draft dodger and someone who likened fallen military personnel to "losers and suckers." Being the daughter of a veteran does not impress me if you support a man whose entire family never served and who maligned those who have. Trump even hired a Black actor to pose as President Obama to berate and then fire in a fake "Apprentice" video to satiate his obsessive racial hatred of 44. The video never aired at a RNC event. But it is still online. This is a guy so many of you admire? A shallow, hateful and insanely jealous clod? Sheesh. I may be wrong, but sometimes, I get the notion this discussion group seems to have morphed into a pro-GOP and anti-Black forum. I detect much disdain for those who defend folks facing unceasing assaults because of their glorious ethnic heritage. Diamond and Silk would be proud.

In African there was no concept of race just peoples. We are participating in 500 years of Cultural fossilization. Out participating here is a reaction to how our society has been formed. It doesn’t make the Earth Flat or the Sun the center of the Universe. It’s more like a harp string that has be plucked and is vibrating back and forth.

Mzuri Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 ************************************************************************************ 18 hours ago, Dr Francis Welsin said: Am I going to get an example of HOW black people practice racism? Perhaps if you took the time to read some of the replies here you would get your answer. Better yet, why don't you re-read your own topic starter. Black people teaching their children to look at other races with suspicion is a form of racism. Being shocked and angry when your Black child marries a white person is another one. Throwing a party and only inviting your Black friends is racism. Black people practice racism just like all the other ethnic and racial groups. ************************************************************************************ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's inconsistent with current voting rights legislation in the senate. There's a reason Stacey Abrams has to crisscross the state of Georgia insuring that AfroAmericans have access to the ballot box. The state of Texas wasted no time after the last election introducing legislation making it harder for minorities to vote. Race based obstacles are the reason for voting rights legislation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 I’m “pro Black,” but this is in direct reaction to the country we live in, so is being racist. I believe the science and reject the notion of multiple human races. That idea was created by so-called White people who began using race to practice racism. Black people can be racist as well. I actually have to work hard at not being racist. If a kid of mine married someone white I’d have no choice but to support my child and embrace their decision. i consider it a good thing that my kids are not as racist as i am or was. They never had to be... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they were really attempting to do is get $6 additional from the federal government for each $1 fund raised. Most people in America who vote realize they are no barriers. If there were how did Raphael Warnock get elected? Why are more Blacks running for Congress? 10 minutes ago, Troy said: consider it a good thing that my kids are not as racist as i am or was.

Responding example taken from 1 occurrence of 7 major occurrences out of more than 32 significant occurrences personally witnessed and observed over 45+ years. Condensed & Truncated… | This is only a brief summarization. Case 1 of Many: (U.S.) A black male supervisor at a major financial institution overtly demonstrated hostility toward U.S. blacks ((i.e., not actual) non-mixed black sub-Saharan Africans and their direct descendants, as defined), and others. The supervisor repeatedly disparaged, denigrated, mistreated and more, both U.S. blacks, whites and those of eastern / oriental Asian descent over a period of ~3.5 years. This supervisor explicitly stated on multiple occasions that his targets did not possess the fundamental intelligence, cognitive, analytical and judgmental capabilities (at a minimum,) that were required to execute extremely complex business initiatives, purely and expressly because of his (i.e., the supervisor’s) target’s race. Considering this supervisor’s own (minority-classified) race, in many respects - this seemed to be a rather contradictory position for this supervisor to take. This supervisor’s actions caused great emotional, psychological, physical and economic distress among numerous individuals that were subject to the supervisor’s actions. Said supervisor repeatedly stole, plagiarized and altered proprietary work product(s) that were created by his targets, per the management directives that they acted on. Eventually, the supervisor was exposed, and his actions ended up costing his employer somewhere north of $55 million in an undisclosed confidential arrangement. = = = To the participating community, feel free to draw your own conclusions.

No, I don't know how to respond to this question completely, but now, I have a better idea of how to better understand. When I think of 'RACISM', and black Americans, I think of power and money which is a tool used by a racist group in order to control another group. black Americans do not have that kind of status to fully define the concept of racism against a group of non-black people. But can blacks be racist towards each other?

Because of Cultural Fossilization(Social Heredity) many old biases are subconsciously passed on and acted upon. This is why we see different groups holding on to old prejudices. This however is as big as needing to change the legal enforcement of race related laws. @Dr Francis Welsin is merely expressing a black voice supporting the Anti-miscegenation laws or miscegenation laws. Those are laws that enforce racial segregation at the level of marriage and intimate relationships by criminalizing interracial marriage and sometimes also sex between members of different races. There are also old laws which are on the books that need to revised or removed. Examples are the efforts to eradicate different negative effects with sentencing in criminal cases. 4 hours ago, Chevdove said: black Americans do not have that kind of status to fully define the concept of racism against a group of non-black people. But can blacks be racist towards each other? Have you read How To Be An AntiRacist by Kendi X? He addresses the question of can Black People be racist and demonstrates Blacks do have power. It is unrealistic to say President Obama has no power; Oprah has no power; Clarence Thomas has no power and countless other Blacks. It’s like a deflection to keep other blacks from tearing them down because they have power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
