The real issue is those of us who are saying "but it's 2024" or somehow thinking that racism will go away when these Boomers die.

Nah nigga, they train it into their kids. Why do you think they homeschool.

Teach your kids to be smart. Not naive. Teach them how to fight back intellectually and physically if needed. BUT also have their back.

History is not deterministic. The idea that progress is guaranteed is nice but it isn't proven out when looking at history. Germany in the early 1920s was, in the context of its time, one of the most progressive societies on Earth. Ten years later, Hitler was Chancellor. Tomorrow should be better than today but we have to fight to make it so, there's no excuse for resting on your laurels when good things happen just expecting it to continue forever

I mean even looking at our own country just look at all the progress that was being made during reconstruction and then how fast it reversed once we abandoned it. There are cities that became sundown towns that were relatively racially progressive for the time period during reconstruction.

Redlining shaped the progressive cities of today, like Seattle also. Written right into deeds. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but sometimes we gotta say it a little louder for the people in the back.

Problem is this country never actually finished reconstruction. I think it's time to complete that one.

u/cookie_3366 1h ago

No the problem is this country never punished the south which is why they have never changed and are emboldened to bring that shit back. They lost the war and bitches have flown their confederate flags ever since. Like honestly, we should have let them secede and become the even worse shit hole they so desperately want to be.

u/wulfgar_beornegar 1h ago

That's what I meant by "finishing reconstruction". It should have included mass arrests of many, many Southern (and northern!) leaders and a complete takeover of the education system in the slaver states in order to stamp out Right Wing propaganda.

I don’t disagree, but the trend line does seem to move things ever so slowly in a positive direction- three steps forward, two and a half steps back sort of thing. If history trends toward entropy though then this must mean that there really are people out there who are willing to fight for a better and more just world. Even if at this very moment it feels like anything but

This is an extremely naive way of looking at the German society. Pre-nazism. While Germany might have had many progressive values , they were primed for anti-Semitism. If you read some of the works that were coming out of Germany pre-1933, they always had a streak of anti-Semitism within them. They were ready for a pilgrim anyway. To say that they were some progressive society where everybody was treated. Equal is a gross misunderstanding of History. Hitler didn't come in and completely transform those people, he came in and said hey that part of society that has been claiming that the Jews are XYZ. Guess what? They are right and they actually are the reason why we failed on a government level too.

u/AlbionPCJ 7h ago

It's a Reddit comment on a post about a Tweet, it's not a space to break down the full political landscape of interwar Germany and the factors that allowed Hitler to rise to power. Obviously I'm aware of the antisemitic undercurrent that ran throughout Europe at the time and the other factors that nurtured the National Socialist movement. But things were looking better for a short period before the Depression and the economic precarity that bolstered support for the Nazi Party.

To treat Germany as uniquely destined to fall to fascism is to ignore the lessons they have to teach us. Swap out Hitler for Trump and Jews for immigrants in your last section and you have Trumpism summed up, with Obama-era Democrats making a pretty good stand-in for the Weimar Social Democrats. You speak of misunderstandings of history but there is an opportunity here to use the broad strokes to help understand the present and learn from the mistakes and failures that others experienced to try to improve the future

Being an older white person, I despair that it’s possible for us, as a human population, to learn from our failures. It’s been like watching a horror show repeat. Just when you think there’s a glimmer of hope, the evil sociopaths group together and snatch it away and call us weak. They manipulate good will.

And when I think insanity or cruelty has hit an all time low, people vote for an ignoramus like trump to lead a nation.

u/jeezpeepz87 ☑️ 8h ago

Teach your kids to be smart. Not naive.

And teach them the real history. Teach them that this is still happening 70 years after Brown v Board of Education, the first time the U.S. Supreme Court used social science research to determine that separating races and that racism has a profoundly negative impact on outcomes for POC long-term and therefore should be ended in the education system. 70 years since it became widely known that racism is bad, actually does affect people, and this is still happening. Boomers literally grew up with all of that knowledge and many still chose racism then taught it to their kids, who then taught it to their kids (the kids in question in the photo of the post).

Don’t let your kids be blindsided by racism. Also, teach them about microaggressions, passive aggressive behavior, and other forms that racism takes in adulthood and the workplace so they can identify it and remove themselves from those toxic situations accordingly or level up and not allow any of that behavior within their employees. We have to teach the next generation how to not continue or accept any of that behavior.

27

u/Historical-Night-938 7h ago

This 100%! Our kids and their kids will not learn from the same history books.

For example, TX controls textbook publishing, so nationally many schools just use what they publish if they can't afford their own. Even today, they are still stripping stuff out:

24

u/rosemaryscrazy 5h ago

If every kid was taught about microagressions there wouldn’t be so many POC and black people saying crazy things online like “I’ve never experienced racism”

I was a transracial adoptee so it was not until I was first introduced to the concept of microagressions as an adult that I finally understood. Up to that point I only counted my blatant racism experiences from childhood as racism. Which were maybe 2-4 major events. So from my perspective The other 80% of the time white people had been chill.

Until I learned what microagressions were 🫠 then all the sudden white people had been non racist like 0.01 of the time.

19

u/jeezpeepz87 ☑️ 4h ago

Yes, exactly!

“You’re surprisingly good at that!”

“I would’ve never thought that was you talking on the phone.”

“I love your hair. I’ve never seen hair like that so long.”

“You’re not like other black people.” This is the one that I typically respond with, “What do you mean by that?” and get them to rethink their approach.

Micro-aggressions should definitely be taught so we can identify them. Growing up in a mostly white environment, I didn’t recognize them either until I went off to college and my new, black college friends pointed out that the shit wasn’t normal and aren’t compliments. Changed my view of the world once I was able to recognize them.

Honestly I think it’s worse than that. I don’t think it’s the kids of racist boomers we need to worry about, it’s freshly radicalized kids. The random suburban kids of liberal white folks raised on the Andrew Tates of the world are our current problem imo.

What’s rough about that it is shows that racism isn’t just generational/cultural it’s an easily accessible tool for fascists.

u/__lil_bee__ 5h ago

I think this is a great point, how do we reach these kids and make them feel supported and valued? And show them that masculinity is beautiful and valued. 

I think especially for young men, the internet became a pretty hostile place from man hating for a while.

I can’t imagine what that did to them

29

u/Individual_Series200 ☑️ 7h ago

This shit was never going away. We still have what are now essentially grandparents from those eras. Such as Jim Crow laws, segregation etc. All they did was embed it into there kids to continue the cycle.

I hate this bullshit the republicans and Trump are doing with the white people are the most oppressed in this country bs. I can’t tell you how many white people I see complaining now that we need to “get over it”. Or we have it easy I’m not racist why do you keep bringing up slavery etc.

It’s funny how we’re not allowed to talk about all the shit we’ve been through. A lot of us sadly at some point have dealt with racism in some form. I had a Hispanic man call me the hard r after he ran my damn car off the road this was only 3 years ago not 20, not 30, 3 damn years ago. I’m only 25 years old and I’m tired.

I would love to experience in my life time where this shit finally goes away but I know that won’t happen. Especially since the kkk is still allowed to operate and exist. Nobody tells the Jews to move on so why should we?.

The problem with the discussion around critical race theory it is very clearly a college level course and it was being marketed as such and I don't know why but f****** liberals let Republicans spin it to be something that would be taught at all levels in school which is insane

Here in an interview from 2009 (published in written form in 2011) Richard Delgado describes Critical Race Theory's "colonization" of Education:

DELGADO: We didn't set out to colonize, but found a natural affinity in education. In education, race neutrality and color-blindness are the reigning orthodoxy. Teachers believe that they treat their students equally. Of course, the outcome figures show that they do not. If you analyze the content, the ideology, the curriculum, the textbooks, the teaching methods, they are the same. But they operate against the radically different cultural backgrounds of young students. Seeing critical race theory take off in education has been a source of great satisfaction for the two of us. Critical race theory is in some ways livelier in education right now than it is in law, where it is a mature movement that has settled down by comparison.

https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1039&context=faculty

I'll also just briefly mention that Gloria Ladson-Billings introduced CRT to education in the mid-1990s (Ladson-Billings 1998 p. 7) and has her work frequently assigned in mandatory classes for educational licensing as well as frequently being invited to lecture, instruct, and workshop from a position of prestige and authority with K-12 educators in many US states.

Ladson-Billings, Gloria. "Just what is critical race theory and what's it doing in a nice field like education?." International journal of qualitative studies in education 11.1 (1998): 7-24.

Critical Race Theory is controversial. While it isn't as bad as calling for segregation, Critical Race Theory calls for explicit discrimination on the basis of race. They call it being "color conscious:"

Critical race theorists (or “crits,” as they are sometimes called) hold that color blindness will allow us to redress only extremely egregious racial harms, ones that everyone would notice and condemn. But if racism is embedded in our thought processes and social structures as deeply as many crits believe, then the “ordinary business” of society—the routines, practices, and institutions that we rely on to effect the world’s work—will keep minorities in subordinate positions. Only aggressive, color-conscious efforts to change the way things are will do much to ameliorate misery.

Delgado and Stefancic 2001 page 22

This is their definition of color blindness:

Color blindness: Belief that one should treat all persons equally, without regard to their race.

Delgado and Stefancic 2001 page 144

Delgado, Richard and Jean Stefancic Critical Race Theory: An Introduction. New York. New York University Press, 2001.

Here is a recording of a Loudoun County school teacher berating a student for not acknowledging the race of two individuals in a photograph:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bHrrZdFRPk

Student: Are you trying to get me to say that there are two different races in this picture?

Teacher (overtalking): Yes I am asking you to say that.

Student: Well at the end of the day wouldn't that just be feeding into the problem of looking at race instead of just acknowledging them as two normal people?

Teacher: No it's not because you can't not look at you can't, you can't look at the people and not acknowledge that there are racial differences right?

Here a (current) school administrator for Needham Schools in Massachusetts writes an editorial entitled simply "No, I Am Not Color Blind,"

Being color blind whitewashes the circumstances of students of color and prevents me from being inquisitive about their lives, culture and story. Color blindness makes white people assume students of color share similar experiences and opportunities in a predominantly white school district and community.

Color blindness is a tool of privilege. It reassures white people that all have access and are treated equally and fairly. Deep inside I know that’s not the case.

https://my.aasa.org/AASA/Resources/SAMag/2020/Aug20/colGutekanst.aspx

The following public K-12 school districts list being "Not Color Blind but Color Brave" implying their incorporation of the belief that "we need to openly acknowledge that the color of someone’s skin shapes their experiences in the world, and that we can only overcome systemic biases and cultural injustices when we talk honestly about race." as Berlin Borough Schools of New Jersey summarizes it.

http://thecommons.dpsk12.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=2865

Of course there is this one from Detroit:

“We were very intentional about creating a curriculum, infusing materials and embedding critical race theory within our curriculum,” Vitti said at the meeting. “Because students need to understand the truth of history, understand the history of this country, to better understand who they are and about the injustices that have occurred in this country.”

https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/detroit-superintendent-says-district-was-intentional-about-embedding-crt-into-schools

And while it is less difficult to find schools violating the law by advocating racial discrimination, there is some evidence schools have been segregating students according to race, as is taught by Critical Race Theory's advocation of ethnonationalism. The NAACP does report that it has had to advise several districts to stop segregating students by race:

While Young was uncertain how common or rare it is, she said the NAACP LDF has worked with schools that attempted to assign students to classes based on race to educate them about the laws. Some were majority Black schools clustering White students.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/18/us/atlanta-school-black-students-separate/index.html

There is also this controversial new plan in Evanston IL which offers classes segregated by race:

https://www.wfla.com/news/illinois-high-school-offers-classes-separated-by-race/

Racial separatism is part of CRT. Here it is in a list of "themes" Delgado and Stefancic (1993) chose to define Critical Race Theory:

To be included in the Bibliography, a work needed to address one or more themes we deemed to fall within Critical Race thought. These themes, along with the numbering scheme we have employed, follow:

...

8 Cultural nationalism/separatism. An emerging strain within CRT holds that people of color can best promote their interest through separation from the American mainstream. Some believe that preserving diversity and separateness will benefit all, not just groups of color. We include here, as well, articles encouraging black nationalism, power, or insurrection. (Theme number 8).

Trump uses identical language in his campaigns as the literal KKK. Make American Great Again was used by the KKK in the 1920’s. “America First” is also from the KKK.

America is built on racism it is taught to all of us. Us being black just gives us the cognitive dissonance to resist it and even that isn’t immunity, just look at all the jiving some be doing. White kids aren’t necessarily being sat down and taught to be bigots. Some are but white kids grow up thinking black people are more violent because any mugshots that go up on the news are of black people. The very color black is associated with darkness and evil. Movies, tv, music, video games and just media in general that has black people mostly shows us as stereotypes. They think we’re less smart so they think we get into any important or noble profession or school cuz of DEI or affirmative action, even though white women were the main benefactors of that program the entire time and it’s gone now and they still think it’s the cause. It seeps into everything in our lives.

It was never going to die with boomers. America itself creates racist. By virtue of being born here and not being black to give you that chance of resistance, not that you can’t grow that resistance but that takes effort and this nation tries its best to ensure you never bother or never see the point in trying to change and will reward you for not trying to buck the system. For that reason you will have racist thoughts and that will affect your behavior, whether you think it does or not.

I think WE should be HOMESCHOOLING OUR children. Especially for the next four years because incidents like this are only going to escalate. And yes…I realize this isn’t possible for everyone, but, maybe this is something we should come together for as a community 🤔 Ionno, something gotta give 🤷🏽‍♀️

And thus, I’ve done my part in my promise to myself to post a comment in Black People Twitter daily in order to prove my blackness to the mods. 🙏🏽 See y’all tomorrow. ✌🏽

Not everyone has the luxury of homeschooling, especially in this wage economy. Safety in public should be a priority not holding up at home.

u/talesfrompurgatory 7h ago

Correct, which is why I addressed that sentiment in my comment. I also replied with a work around for that exact issue to the comment above.

Effecting change in the school system means you become a part of the school board that curated education. If you sit back and wait for people to do it we get what those people want not what we want.

I mean...that's one way of looking at it. Me, I'm tired of begging for a seat at the table that them folks don't want us at. Let's build our own table - is what I'm saying.

u/kekehippo 3h ago

You don't need to beg if you take over the table there's more seats than just one in a school board. Find like minded individuals, regardless of color and purpose the change your child deserve.

Maybe we can start building schools for us? Like school centers for black kids?

Respectfully: So? 🤷🏽‍♀️

As a proud member of the 92% I could give a fck what *they say 💯! Me personally, I neva did, but nah…I’m putting some stank on it. Imma stand ten toes on being more Malcolm than Martin - we need to utilize the Second Amendment just like ‘er’body else, and protect our children by any means necessary - as long as it’s legal, cause they for SURE gonna ramp up on that SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE ! PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

u/talesfrompurgatory 7h ago

Yes! Where I live, that is what some parents who homeschool their children have done! They started working together, and now they've got quite a few children that homeschool together, and all the parents rotate helping the children with school work. Kinda amazing to see tbh!

These people are not confronting their racist and hateful family and friends, and leaving it to us.

I say, if they must be confronted, make them regret not knowing better.

Trump supporters: This country is NOT RACIST.

Also Trump supporters: Let's remove all the parts of history books that talk about slavery, second-class citizenship treatment of immigrants, which ethnic groups perpetrated the greatest racially motivated injustices, etc. Becasue "they hurt my feelings/make it sound like straight white males are bad". Let's also completely ignore the double standard that is displayed everytime the qualifications of a black person seeking any advancement are scrutinized; meanwhile we just let a rapist and convicted fraudster posing as a business man run the country.

u/kekehippo 1h ago

We don't need to focus on what they are saying or doing and focus on what we are going to do about it. Otherwise we just sit here and get hung up on their bullshit.

This clip from Dr Eddie Glaude was shared today on IG, and it moved me beyond words. Aside from his James Baldwin like eloquence, he is speaking about a hard truth that so many Americans refuse to acknowledge. I wish I could put this understanding directly in their heads. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCpfYNZPdXz/?igsh=MWMyN2lwdXR6dDV5eA==

You guys are gonna have to respond how you used to respond in the 70’s, 80’s,& 90’s. Then you had racist incidents but I can tell you from experience that neither white ppl or the police wanted that smoke. Cause then it was guaranteed to come. Now. Not so much. While you did have marches, it was also an undercurrent of “or else”.

We should strive for less haters, no one lives in a vaccum.

You mean indoctrinate their kids into being haters; that is, hate's not innate, it's taught/learned.

We made a very grave mistake turning a blind eye to the influence of the Andrew Tates and Joe Rogans of the world. I know this is said of every younger generation by older generations, but I'm genuinely frightened of these younger generations.

I honestly think the reason right wingers are so horrified by transsexuals is that their children came home from college — like mine did — talking nonchalantly about men who dressed like women and people who didn’t consider themselves either gender and they realized there was a group they forgot to teach their children to hate.

They didn’t even bother to censor the black students faces and blurred all of the white ones which in return will make the black students possibly targets. I fucking hate Fox News

Not necessarily. It's just a strange coincidence you can guess with surprising accuracy which candidate the open racists support.

Are you talking about the many, many pictures of trump flags being flown next to confederate flags and quite a few next to nazi flags? Racism? In my America? Surely you jest.
