This is so true. There are plenty of wonderful groups even on tumblr. The ones that get all the attention are the ones promoting hate.

The unadulterated hate for people who are just themselves, didn't chose to be that way and can't be anything different is the real problem.

Whether it's about LGBT, race or weight issues, these people who want 'acceptance' who also blame and shame and hate others are widening the gap of equality.

They aren't looking for acceptance at all, they're all just being hypocritical idiots.

I think one of the absolute worst things about tumblr SJWs is their ENORMOUS ignorance of world history. They sort everything into black and white, into good vs. evil, into white people vs. the poor little colored folk when they're entrenched in a discipline that DEMANDS an understanding of nuance. I went to a small liberal arts school, so I saw this shit all the time--kids who ensconced themselves within Women's Studies, Queer Studies, Black Studies, what have you, but never actually learned, you know, World History 101 or Amherican Politics 101. Yeah okay you might have to read books by WHITE MALE OPPRESSORS!!! but if you're serious about knowledge and, you know, actually bringing about change, you have to read outside your bubble because ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE CONNECTED.

And it's the same thing with the wider worlds of politics and economics--what SJWs rant on and on about oftentimes intersects with those disciplines and they know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT EITHER. I swear to god I've seen arguments on par with "Amerikkka is so fucking racist and awful and oppressive why don't we just print more money to help everyone!!!!!!!!" It's just mind-boggling.

This. My parents were good people and so were my grandparents. Why should I somehow be accountable for the things that my ancestors did when I've never personally known them? Just because my great x5 grandfather might have owned slaves doesn't make me a slave owner.

As long as I'm a good person and my parents and grandparents were good people, why should I feel guilt or be judged by the color of my skin? Wasn't that Martin Luther King's entire crusade? To look past the color of ones skin and not judge them by it? As long as someone treats others the way they would want to be treated, what does it matter what age/color/nationality/sexuality/religion they are?

I'm not saying you can't feel angry or upset for what your ancestors or others ancestors went through or hell, what still continues to happen today. But judging someone and holding negative feelings towards them solely because of their age/race/coloration/sexuality/religion makes you just as bad as them no matter how much you say that ___ people can't be racist/homophobic/sexist/etc.

I've been seeing a news item go around--some white girl is suing a college for not letting her in because,she alleges, she is white and lost her place to somebody bolstered by affirmative action.

I think it's a silly case (I don't think she has any actual proof) but what gets me is the total orthodoxy of the SJW crowd in response to shit like this--ANY dissent isn't just wrong, it's the worst possible thing to say. It makes you fucking EVIL. Any level of dissent.

And all that does is make me, a PoC female, feel silenced. Because I understand the aim of affirmative action and I'm sure it's done good, but I think it should be discussed. I was given a scholarship by my college and I want to think I earned it, but what if it was just the little box I marked "Hispanic"? And it kills me because I was born in fucking New Hampshire. I am from an upper-middle-class family--we own a beach house, for god's sake. I didn't need financial aid (and my school was EXPENSIVE). SO MANY of my white friends could have used my scholarship money so much more--did they not get it just because they were white? I feel fucking guilty.

but honestly the chance of your ancestors owning slaves is very slim. The extremely rich in the south owned slaves. EXTREMELY RICH. And that was a very small minority. In the south the civil war was nicknamed "The rich man's war, and the poor man's fight.", because all the super rich people that owned slaves wanted the war, and all the poor/middle class of the south were the ones heading off to fight and die. This is because of the Conscription Act of 1863, which basically said if you didn't pay the government $300, you had to fight in the war. So... Your ancestors had a bigger change of fighting in the Civil War, than owning slaves. (Although to be fair, most southerners did want slavery, because more people meant more job competition.)

As a huge history geek, one thing that really bothers me is how white people are always the ones to blame for anything awful that's happened in history. It shows how ignorant they are..... EVERY SINGLE RACE has committed crimes against humanity.... It's not just all the races that have white skin.

Really? Are we going to have the privilege talk?

White privilege has nothing to do with class -- they're two different axis entirely. White privilege doesn't mean that everything in your life has been easy, that you've never worked, that someone came and gave you a "CONGRATS, YOU'RE WHITE" trophy and a million dollars in cash. It just means that you receive a number of consistent cultural benefits associated with whiteness in society. It's not (just) about your ancestors, it's about right now. I'm sure you guys have heard of the study where black kids did better on a test merely when the question "What is your race?" was excluded -- i.e., identifying as black and the stereotype of their own stupidity actually influenced their test scores.

With that said -- there's nothing you can do about being white. It isn't something you should feel guilty about because you have no control over it. You can feel shitty about the world we live in, the way media looks at black people, and you can try to change those things if that's a field of life you're interested in. Otherwise, whatever. The whole point of "checking your privilege" -- IDEALLY -- is to just be aware that many factors in your life (race, ethnicity, religion, gender) impact how you are treated by the world, and that everyone is not treated the same way.

(And I don't know where you guys live, but at least in the U.S., it's hardly about "ancestors" even when it comes to legalized injustice. The Civil Rights movement was not the movement of our great-great-grandaddies.)

>all the poor/middle class of the south were the ones heading off to fight and die.

Rich Southern men went to war, too, same as rich Northern men. Most of the female primary source sections we read for our Civil War were written by rich white women, who all had brothers or uncles or fathers or cousins (from the same rich family) fighting in the war. Now, most were officers, but still fighting in the war.

I also wouldn't say only the extremely rich owned slaves. Only the very rich were likely to own plantations which meant they had enough slaves to work the fields, the farm, and the house--but people of modest income could usually afford a house or field slave or two.

Exactly! White =/= slave owner. Hell, even if your ancestors were in America during slavery not everyone could afford slaves. They were only for the wealthy who could afford to feed/house them. Acting as if every person that is white was either a slaver or segregation enforcer is just stupid and shows just how ignorant people can be.

What really ticks me off is people going "Well whites never had to go through hardship like the blacks!" Seriously? Look at the Irish. They were treated like absolute shit in America. Look at the Jews, they were enslaved, treated as lesser beings, and then rounded up in WWII and once again treated as animals and slaughtered for their beliefs.

I hate how people try to treat the suffering of MANY different groups of people like it's some sort of oppression contest. "Oh well the blacks went through ____" "No, but the Indians went through _____" "You're both wrong because the gays _____"

At one point in time just about everyone's damn ancestors went through hardships and injustice. Get over it and make sure it doesn't happen again by treating everyone well instead of sitting around bitching about it.

Black people were enslaved yes. They were bought as slaves from black people who owned slaves in Africa.


If you know anything about history you'll know that slavery didn't start with 'the white man' and it began in African/Arabic countries as well as there being plenty of evidence that slaves were taken from populations of newly conquered lands and then traded/sold.

It was not a new concept and infact remained legal in many other countries after it was abolished in America.

The idea that the ancestors of people in America should feel anything about slavery at all is ridiculous, even moreso due to the fact that it is racial profiling. I am a 3rd generation immigrant. I look 'white', but I have a varying background. Though I have some Eastern European background, my ancestral background is not one of which ever owned any African slaves, and most certainly not in America.

The idea that I should be made to feel bad about something specific groups of people that share my skin color did is preposterous. And anyone who thinks otherwise is an ignorant idiot who knows nothing about the world at all.

Yeah okay. America had plans to send them back to Africa, but guess what, they didn't want that, they chose to stay in America, and for good reason. Africa is a war-filled shithole!


Black people who were born in America, whether or not their family immigrated over from Africa even 2 generations the same kind of sympathy and treatment as ones whose lineage goes back to slavery.

They are not related to slaves, their families chose to come from Africa to move to America.

The idea that you treat people the same whether it's 'majority' or 'minority' is racist in and of itself. America did awful things in the past, but the idea of facing your past is to try to not repeat it. America should be moving forward and it's things like 'white guilt' that make us move back into the past.

We should be accepting everyone, not just people who were worse off at one point in history.

Bringing race into light is what makes racism happen. It's when you group people together just based on physical appearance. Whether or not it's for 'good' or 'bad', it needs to stop.

Whenever anyone makes this stupid point, ask them what their actual primary sources are, because the fact of the matter is there are none, sub-saharan africans did not have written sources until colonization, so we have no idea as to the nature of their slavery, but if the observations of Europeans is any indication, their lives were as short and brutal as any other hunter-gathering groups were, and the systems of slavery were similarly brutal.

The insightful mind of an SJW
By, Anonymous

Here I will explain exactly what goes through an SJW head when approached with any opposing opinion.
This opinion could be full of factual information, unbiased views, utter nonsense, or even in agreement with the SJW other than a few minor details. This can be used to describe reactions towards many issues, including but not limited to: race, gender, sexual orientation, discrimination, politics, science, language, colors, and many many more.

Now, let us begin with a very simplistic example.

Here is a post by the SJW:
"I don't believe that the sky is blue. The idea that 'blue' is the color that the sky looks is society forcing it's opinion on me of what I should feel the color blue is".

Here is a response:
"I am confused, I though that language is a man-made construct to help people refer to things in a like way in order to communicate".

Now, to a normal person, this would seem completely rational, to an SJW, this is a viscous attack on their principles. It 'triggers' them that someone disagrees and so rather than reading the sentence and trying to comprehend it using their inherent logic, they look for a word that may seem offensive. The word in this case is 'construct'. The SJW believes that this 'construct' infringes on their freedoms and life in general. The believe the person to be personally attacking their choices, feelings and beliefs. Their response is obvious, ignorant, uninformed, poorly worded, horrifically grammatically incorrect and overall inane garbage.
An example response is not needed.

The mindset described here can, as I said previously, be used in various contexts and situations as it will usually always be the same.

Thanks for reading, hope you learned something because god knows they won't.

Race goes back to Plato, Isocrates, Aristotle etc.

Because we're taught from an early age that the only poor and starving people are from Africa.

No, both age and time are social constructs. Your point is that people have at points adopted a different yardstick with regards to measuring race, ergo this means race doesn't exist objectively.

I think you misunderstand my point.
I know that for centuries there were structures like "The French race" or the "Chinese race" or the "Greek race" etc.

My point is that a more transcendent notion of race (e.g. whites, blacks, etc.) are enlightenment ideals was enlightenment idea.

Someone answer this because it's been bugging me for a while.

Those of you anons in America, why is there such a big thing about minorities versus the majority aka white? America is the largest immigrant country in the world, you're all from some where else so why is everything split up into whites (majority) and everything else (minority) when basically everyone is a minority when you split it down to where you came from?

This is because the US coddles these people. Other areas of the world that are truely multi-cultural don't have these stupid SJW issues, except on the internet. Even here in Canada, the amount of 'niggas' and 'gangstas' is insignificant compared to that of almost any area in the US. This is a US problem and it's infecting the world like a disease.

People also don't seem to understand that being pale is a cultural standard of beauty. It was popular in Europe as well as East Asia, and as far as the media portrays it, it is only a problem in the countries that had previously admired it. Indian people have no desire or envy of light skin, because it is not part of their culture.

America is a shithole that is killing this planet.

Because a lot of people have a vested interest in promoting racial conflict. Someone like Tim Wise for example makes a huge amount of money going around the lecture circuit giving lectures on 'white privilege'. Then you have all these diversicrats who make money giving 'diversity training' schemes, then you have the psychologists who are given grant money to 'study racism' etc.

In all of these contexts, the overarching narrative is that whites are villainous, or quasi-villainous and non-whites are good.

Singapore is a case study on how to make it work.

One of the craziest things about America is how anything that is viewed as even implicitly white is viewed as a bad thing, take the way news anchors and talking heads talk about 'white neighborhoods' as something that must disappear for example.

In Singapore, they allow groups to self-segregate, in fact, they encourage it, because it actually encourages peace (see the study done on inter-ethnic violence in Switzerland throughout the centuries).

Depends on what kind of White supremacy group you're talking about. If you're talking Neo-Nazis, then yeah, they hate Jews, and see them as ethnically distinct. The KKK also hates/hated Jews, but not because they saw them as ethnically distinct or inferior, because they also hated Catholics.

Was gonna say, India has a caste system which usually means lighter people traditionally had better jobs in society. Eg. One my my friends has pale skin and her families caste was goldsmith.

And yes, it does make a difference. We could be picking up on confounding factors because there is more to human society than your stupid little insecurities.

It goes down for all people though.

And it still doesn't account for the so called "achievement gap".

America spends way, way too much money on education, way more than East Asian nations who outperform you.

It's all about hard work and self sacrifice (and genes to some extent too).

>> No.6302829

>>6302818

Actually it's not hard work or self sacrifice, it's not about how much is spent on education, either. It's about the environment that a child is raised in. Environments that are very stressful (little money, food and shelter are concerns or the child is physically or emotionally abused) lead to extremely poor outcomes.

America's massive education problems are actually due to an increasing withheld social safety net and a societal structure that doesn't allow for many socioeconomic groups to have a fair shot at maximizing their potential.

>It's about the environment that a child is raised in.

No it isn't. Look up the transracial adoption studies. Black children raised in middle class white american homes perform poorly too. Look at the twin studies, twins raised in different environments perform very similarly academically. We know now that IQ is at least 50% heritable for example (GWAS study headed by Ian Deary).

Your argument is just a roundabout justification for most wastefulness.

You're actually both right. A child of any race will suffer in their education and social development when placed in an environment that poorly meets their needs. However, that doesn't mean you can attribute blacks lower educational achievements to their social-economic status. Amongst blacks with equivalent status as whites, there is still an educational gap. Likewise, blacks in poor conditions do worse than whites (only by a bit) than whites in similar conditions.

There's no one simple answer to these issues, which is why tumblr and SJWs need to shut the fuck up. You can have an intelligent discussion and disagree, but they just want to whine about how they are the most special snowflake.
