An Interesting Take on BLM

[kandrathe]

I wonder if this is a matter of perception, "the world hates me so I perceive every slight as a maligned attack on my race," or a reality of events, and if so, why? I'd say that due to the nature of black culture and their music, the 'n' word is so commonly used online as a discriminatory slur towards any and everyone (not just people of color), that it's impossible to get a fair judgement here. I'd say blacks who go online and see people spouting off the 'n' word may feel singled out, but in reality, nobody knows there are people of color in Halo or CoD and it's just people ranting of the derogatory that have become common place, not systemic racism whatsoever.

Well... there is an easy way for anyone to try out being harassed online by anonymous users. Make a new twitter account, choose an obviously not white person photo, with an obviously not white handle. Then, go make positive, affirmative posts that would be in line with your pseudonym's stance on issues. When you get tired of the anonymous racial slurs, then switch to female and experience the misogyny.

Voice chat multi-player games, and Twitch streamers are another potential cesspool of harassment or cyber-stalking.

This may be a direct correlation, and proof of concept, towards the perception of black culture and their sensitivity towards incidents that are in fact not racism, but a matter of culture (i.e. people mimicking popular songs and words, and especially taboo bad words). If this is untrue and the opposite turns out the be true, that there is in fact widespread systemic racism throughout the entire world towards blacks, then this is indeed a disturbing thought, and something else entirely that needs to be addressed on a worldwide level. However, if you take a rational step back and look at everything you know about cultures and people and taboos, I think it's pretty clear what's going on here. Another hurdle to overcome in the concept of cultural identity.

Um... No.

It's not a perception by POC being persecuted.

It is actually actual real evidence of POC being persecuted.

Picking up the pieces -- case study Minneapolis



Now... This is a very liberal state, that votes for democrats, and supports lots of social programs. It's also governed by mostly white men. It's not easy going here like in Ojai, or Carpenteria or SoCal. No one is laid back, especially cops. They are serious here, like South Side of Chicago serious.



We have very high taxes, and high levels of community services that mostly go to those programs supporting mostly white kids.

It's not by "intention"... But, when schools, hospitals, and etc. are funded by counties, and local communities where does the money go?

Here?

Guess who built this cozy cottage?
