Ch 9.16 - Racism
"Jesus warned us this would happen in the last days. nation shall rise against nation = ethnos against ethnos = race against race" - Unknown
a. Prejudice
---------------------------
”Dylan! You son of a bitch!” - Predator Movie (the most epic handshake of all time)
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." - Genesis 1:26 KJV. God didn't say, white man, straight man, tall man, or black man. He said _man_ meaning _all_ men (and implicitly that includes women as well). This statement is consistent with the first sentence in our Declaration of Independence "that _all_ men are created equal."
"Only a fool labels specific groups of people at enmity with God. The teaching is that we ALL are at enmity with God until we decide to level up so that our flesh is not our master and that we go after what is enduring and what serves us all." - Unknown
"Racism is prejudging a person by the color of their skin." - Unknown
"Today’s Lesson: Racism --> Judging someone NOT by the content of their character but strictly by the color of their skin is called... Affirmative Action" - Unknown
"You must be racist to fight racism." - Unknown
"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.” - Chief Justice John Roberts on the decision to end affirmative action in college admissions.
"[For too long universities have] concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin. Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.” - Chief Justice John Roberts on the decision to strike down affirmative action in college admissions.
"You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic." - Robert A. Heinlein
"Groups don't have rights. Women don't have rights. African Americans don't have rights. The disabled don't have rights. The LGBTQ community doesn't have rights. Only individuals have rights and each individual has the same rights regardless of which group they identify with." - Unknown
"The demand for racism far exceeds the supply of racism." - Unknown
"The more actual racism decreases, the more it needs to be fabricated to keep the narrative alive." - Unknown
"A demand for respect is like a demand for a laugh, or demands for love, loyalty and allegiance. They cannot be given if not felt." - Unknown
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them." - Frederick Douglas
b. Reparations/War on Poverty
---------------------------
"A man cannot be held responsible for events that transpired prior to his birth. It's physically impossible. Likewise, a man cannot be paid restitution for a crime that was committed prior to his birth. Pretty basic stuff, really." - Unknown
"Consider. Since the start of President Lyndon B. Johnson's 'war on poverty,' the federal government has spent $22 trillion on various wealth redistribution programs. Yet, over that span, the rate of poverty remains unchanged. Perhaps this is because giving some people other people's money is an incentive for the former to remain indolent. In other words, government checks breed dependence on government. On the other hand, if California lawmakers were actually interested in addressing the plight of many of the Black residents who live in the Golden State, they ought to take a forward-looking approach that would include an increased police presence, a tough on crime approach, lower taxes, fewer regulations, and commonsense policies that would make energy affordable and abundant. And, if these same lawmakers were really audacious and genuinely wanted to throw a wrench into the cycle of poverty that has entrapped so many Black Californians, they would do everything in their power to ensure that universal school choice was the norm in the Golden State. It also would help if these so-called leaders addressed the elephant in the room: the breakdown of the Black family, which is arguably the biggest driver of poverty and so many other societal problems. However, these are difficult conversations for leftist lawmakers, who always view more government wealth redistribution as the answer to everything. It is much easier for politicians to propose a superficial solution, like reparation payments, even though time has shown that giving people money doesn't solve deep-seated, complex problems." - Unknown
"If we keep telling Aboriginal people that they are victims, we are effectively removing their agency and giving them the expectation that someone else is responsible for their lives. That is the worst possible thing you can do any human being, to tell them they are a victim without agency. And that’s what I refuse to do." - Jacinta Price
"That white person that you see calling himself a liberal is the most dangerous thing in the entire Western Hemisphere.” - Malcolm X
"The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend & benefactor." - Malcolm X
"Our people in the Black community are trapped in a vicious cycle of ignorance, poverty, disease, sickness, and death. There seems to be no way out. No way of escape. The wealthy, educated [Liberal] Black bourgeoisie [looking at you Obama/Oprah], those uppity Blacks who do escape, never reach back and pull the rest of our people out with them. The Black masses remain trapped in the slums. First the Black [Liberal] leadership demanded the white man’s house, and the whites vacated their run-down houses for us and built new homes for themselves out in the suburbs. Then the Black leaders demanded seats for our children in the white man’s schools. The whites evacuated the schools as our children moved in and they built modern schools for themselves in the suburbs. But now the Black leadership is demanding the white man’s job... " - Malcolm X (1963)
c. White Privilege/Rich Privilege
---------------------------
"There’s a war on straight white men because they show us why we don’t need the government." - Unknown
“White privilege is nothing more than the ability to suffer through life's universal difficulties without blaming another group of people.” - Unknown
"You know the brainwashing is real when white people protest against white people for being white people." - @ninjanikki_2.0
"I'm mixed race. But I don't see myself as white or black. I see myself as rich. People will always take me seriously. Because of my bank balance. White vs. black is how amateurs view conflict. Professionals know it's rich vs. poor." - Andrew Tate
"No such thing as white privilege. There's only rich privilege. Stop trying to divide the world by race. That's what slave owners/racists do. Race is a construct used to try to have power over others. Stop racialization." - @CheckerFack
"I am a young black rich mother*cker. If that doesn't let you know that America understands black lives matter these days. I don't know what it is. Don't come at me with that dumb sh*t ma'am. My life matters!" - Lil Wayne
"Do you think that race plays a part in wealth distribution? No, I don't. You and I we’re proof. Why would race have anything to do with it? Put your mind to what you want to do and go for that." - Morgan Freeman to his black interviewer Morley Safer
d. All Lives Matter
---------------------------
"Russian lives matter also! Mr Zelensky and Mr Putin, and not least Mrs Frederiksen (who yesterday, like someone head over heels in love, posed in the cockpit of one of the scariest killing machines of our time, grinning from ear to ear)." - Lars von Trier on his government agreeing to send US-made F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
"In Europe this is like saying 'all lives matter' or 'it's okay to be white.' Even though Ukraine is meaningless to the western public and the US killed way more people in the wrongful invasion of Iraq, the media tells the lefty drones to hate Russia and so they do without even knowing why. To say Russian lives matter is heretical to the progressive religion..." - Unknown
"It's OK to be racist, as long as vitriol is heaped on Russians, regardless of their views on Putin's invasion. I was just stating the obvious: that all lives in this world matter! A forgotten phrase it seems, from a time when pacifism was a virtue." - Unknown
"You know the world has lost its way, when standing up for life gets you a beatdown in the public square." - Unknown
"Just the wrong lives. Whites... Russians... Christians... heterosexuals..." - Unknown
"When someone says that the slogan 'All Lives Matter' is racist, you only can stand in awe at the speaker's cockroach-grade lack of self-awareness." - Unknown
