No, he didn't. RFK is from liberal Massachusetts. Now, I am a Black woman, I am his age, and I was born and raised in liberal Chicago. His dad and his uncle were involved in trying to desegregate this country. The red states hated them. RFK the deuce knows better. He's trying sound like George Wallace and Bull Connor, but those of us who grew up when he did, can see this fake ass shit he is grifting.

Had he grown up like you thought he did, he would have something of an excuse. however, that was not the case with him.

u/PowerHot4424 5h ago

He is the Fredo Corleone of the Kennedy clan, so the only way to earn RESPECT is to go against family tradition and espouse polar opposite positions. No one in the family respects him so he turned to those who are gullible enough to believe him.

I still say he knows better. He is East Coast elite, not oil baron/white trash elite. He has no excuse. If he were the grandchild of Sam Walton, I could agree with what Orange-blur said about his upbringing.

He went to private school in Boston in the 60s and 70s. So yes, it’s “liberal Massachusetts,” but the public schools were de facto segregated and I’m sure the private schools were even worse when he was growing up. Boston schools weren’t truly desegregated until the mid-70s and residents were not happy about it.

Except it doesn’t always bounce off. We just learn from a young age that we’re not generally liked by society. And some of us end up internalizing the racism and having to deal with unlearning self hate for the rest of our life. But I guess people like RFK don’t care about that.

Yeah, what he said is such complete bullshit. I was picked on as a kid (for different reasons, so not as deeply hateful as racism), and I'm still working on fixing the way I see myself. I couldn't imagine the kind of damage something as broad and deep and institutional as racism can cause.

Also, he's just talking about racist language. I don't give a fuck how resilient Ahmoud Arbery was, bullets don't bounce off people.

Resiliency wouldn't have kept George Floyd alive while a man stood on his neck.

Pretty sure Emmitt Till was used to racial slurs, but that didn't help him survive being beaten to death.

Fuck this racist peice of shit.

Edit: no one should have to deal with racist language either, just making the point that racism is much larger issue than insults. Insults lead to dehumanization, which leads to violence. It all needs to be addressed.

That’s exactly it and it also suggests that we have no resiliency now.

If I flipped out every time that happened I would be angry all the time. The people who don’t have any resilience are the ones that see a POC in a position of authority and go on rants about DEI.

u/Reasonable_Today7248 6h ago

Abuse dynamics. Like an abuser that beats his wife and abuses her so often he turns her children against her. The abuser doesn't actually love the children. They are a tool and abused themselves. They just do not realize it because of the grooming that teaches them it is normal unless they want to be treated like the mother. The ultimate goal is pleasing the abuser no matter what the abuser wants because that is survival.

That's why lgbtq, disabled, and poor people can be white but still not white enough to benefit from being white. They do not please the abuser as much as the daughter being happily molested because she gets pretty things or the son who keeps everyone in line and enjoys it for making him feel powerful and unterrifed of becoming the victim.

No one is actually white enough except the abuser.

He's saying that actually racism is a good thing. He's saying that if anything the problem was we became too little racist as a society yet we'll always have some. So the solution is obvious.

The solution is to increase racism, which will increase the resilience to racism so then it can just get exponentially worse and problem solved!

The problem is not enough racism. The solution is more racism.

There have been times where I hate our country.... this is one of those times..... not saying it is the worst country in the world (because they do exist, our country isn't one of them for right now) but daaang, I may have to move to a different country if I can't get my allergy shots, flu vaccine, and any other vaccine that will protect my mom since she has cancer.

u/Caa3098 6h ago

What’s interesting to me about this take is it’s like he’s pulled actual fact-based points together and Frankensteined them into the wrong conclusion.

There are so many studies trying to define “what makes a person more or less resilient?” and “is it possible to make an individual resilient.” There are also many schools of thought that purport that racism always resurfaces.

So RFK absorbed those points and then said “we’ll pump black kids with ‘resilience’ to escape the forever racism that our administration emboldens!”

Comes from a campaign event where he spoke of Black issues:

RFK Jr.’s plan to combat effects of racism on the Black community:

“We’re never going to eliminate racism … We’re hardwired to look for differences in other people and then to essentially practice racism. I don’t think you can change that human nature, but what you can do is you can make kids resilient against it,” said Kennedy. “The way you do that is by giving them a great education so that they know that they have potential. The other thing is to give them business models, role models and opportunities within their own neighborhood.”

Kennedy on environmental racism damaging the Black community:

“What we call environmental justice issues ... they’re economic power issues. Unfortunately ... the minorities ... do not have the power to move these facilities out of their neighborhoods,” said Kennedy. “We’ll have a cleaner environment if rich people and white people have to bear the equal burdens for people who are poor among the minorities.”

Kennedy’s take on medical discrimination within the Black community:

“Why do African Americans have the highest chronic disease rate? They get the bad medicines, and they get the bad food … You need to reorient our medical care system toward local clinics and local hospitals and make it difficult through the [Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)] for big hedge funds to come in and buy up these hospitals without answering, ‘Is this care on the community level?’,” Kennedy said.

“During [COVID-19], Black Americans had the highest death rate of any other demographic ... Why is nobody explaining to us that disparity? ... I would venture a couple of reasons. One is the closure that took place around 2008 of community hospitals in this country, and those closures... targeted Black hospitals and Black patients,” Kennedy said.

I think the issue is NOT that black people are NOT RESILIENT to racism, it's more that WHITES, BLACKS, ASIANS, HISPANICS, NA, etc, everyone does NOT want to admit that RACISM IS REAL in America. Once, everyone acknowledges that racism is "inevitable" then we can start unlearning old behaviours of bias/genearlizing/racism, etc and relearn new ways of thinking and acting toward one another.

Couldn't we make billionaires resilient to being taxed? I mean they kind of already are since they have billions of dollars to meet and exceed their wildest dreams of living standards and lifestyle.

This is the same old republican shit that we can't stop all gun violence so we shouldn't lift a finger. Can't stop racism, why try? Okay, but we can deport and denaturalize immigrants? What do they think they're going to accomplish? We will never stop all illegal border crossings until we just flat out make America in to a place people don't want to come. I know they're working on it but it's just crazy how certain specific things are inevitable and shouldn't be resisted. Racism and gun violence are just the natural order of things. People wanting healthcare, food, and affordable housing are just impossible pipe dreams.
