Most White People in America Are Completely Oblivious

Black people have to learn everything about white people just to stay alive.

White people just don't get that.   

She is a PhD : professor at a University and decided to fwd. this to me :

after listening to family arguments since she joined us 

And most of all, the reflex to deny that there is anything racial about the lens through which

we typically view law enforcement; to deny that being white has shaped our understanding

of policing and their actions in places like Ferguson :

even as being white has had everything to do with those matters.

I feel good TODAY : that I have gotten thru to the white folks that have joined my family .

Both in Canada and the USA   

[color=rgb(20, 20, 20)]When Michael Brown's mother was asked about her husband inciting the crowd to "burn this bitch down", she said he was just being emotional. Using that as an excuse to commit domestic terrorism is why blacks will be viewed as uncivilized, and unworthy of holding political office, or even jobs by a lot of white people. With blacks being only 18% of the population, it's going to be very difficult for another black to become president again for a long time. And with whites providing most of the jobs, blacks are making it even more difficult to get a job. And more violence, looting and vandalism, is only going to put more blacks in prison. This is why 25% of all blacks are already in prison. [/color]

who is slasher ketchim...an old idiot handle with a new one... or a brand new one ::confused::

thanks for including me ketchim...and I have had white blood in my veins and in my family from the start.  and more coming in soon...indeed already there. 

it does not matter to me any which way...I am not proud of it just because it is white or anything.  it is rather routine to me...I have dealt with it all my life.  the experience of whiteness which I cannot rub out due to the the nature of things with me and mine has been mostly nasty.  racism is a terrible thing that mucks up everything in life. it even infects families of blood relatives who are both black and white, sometimes living in the same dam house

ANYHOW YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I HAVE SAID NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT FERGISTAN UP TO NOW..AND DID NOT PLAN ON SAYING ANYTHING.  I DID NOT WANT TO BE ACCUSED AGAIN OF BEING A CONSPIRACY TERRORIST.  BUT I SEE ALL OF THIS AS ORCHESTRATED.  WE ARE BEING MANIPULATED AGAIN FOR WHAT PURPOSE WE WILL SOON FIND OUT.

BUT I BELIEVE OUR LORDS AND MASTERS WANT MAXIMUM CHAOS IN THE SOCIETY SO PLAYED THIS ISSUE OUT TO THAT END

I KNOW TIM WISE..HIS NAME AND WORK... VERY WELL.  HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS AS A CAREER FOR A LONG TIME NOW.  BUT USEFUL AS THIS CONTRIBUTION MAY BE AS A DESCRIPTION OF THE RACIAL STATE OF SOME OF WHITE AMERICA, RACISM IS NOT FUNDAMENTAL IN THE SITUATION..AND ALL WHITE AMERICANS ARE NOT LIKE LIKE WISE DESCRIBES..A FACT THAT CAN BE GLEANED FROM SIMPLE OBSERVATION OF AMERICAN LIFE AS A WHOLE...EVEN FROM A DISTANCE.

despite all the subjective nonsense Slasher spoke take a good look at the american work force, american life in general, and see the place of blacks in it currently, by number and quality of employment/involvement, and a reality emerges that has absolutely nothing to do with Slasher's perspective..and which reality dilutes terminally Wise's presentation.  when you ketchim take that look come back and tell us what you have discovered.

I wager you would have found the days of what Ralph Elison described in Invisible Man are no longer with us...save in Wise's imagination

you will also find that police brutality in america is general with only a few hours difference between the killing of white and black people by the police every single day.  if we are to find a time average by combining the time differential between police murders of black and white, we can come up with 2 dead americans at the hands of some american police force every 34 hours.  that is my calculation.  you can always debunk it with a more accurate calculation of your very own

Wise's presentation helps to hide the fact that police brutality is an attack on the american people as a whole..has expanded from a previous almost exclusive focus on black ghettos to all ordinary america...black..white hispanic mixed etc..and that there is purpose to this development or expansion, that is socially fundamental, basic and of the greatest importance to the people by way of their absolute need to understand it..and Wise does no justice to that need at all.  in fact his exclusive focus on race in the end does us all a great disservice, by helping the establishment hide the truth of the day, helps to keep racism alive, and the people ignorant of what they must know to correct their social reality

Well it is now my turn with daughters , nephews and nieces !

Methink it is this generation that will effect change and may spill over to the next.

I now count 5 kids from 5 white spouses.

AND they see no colour.....and no race superiority . This bodes well   

please note that I have not included the killing rate of hispanic men in america by the police in my avareag of 2 every 34 hours one.. white one black..a rate that is as high as individual black and white rates. 

anyone privy to the stats can calculate all 3 flows, to come with an accurate average of people killed by number and by hours,  by police in america every single day
