Slavery in the US ended about 125 years ago and I seriously doubt any of those that would claim to have "PTSS" have ever met anyone who knew a slave, much less met someone who was a slave themselves. It makes one look silly when the thing one claims to have caused _them_ trauma ended 75-100 years prior to their own birth. Why not just call it was it really is: just another silly manifestation of snowflake syndrome. People aren't questioning your intelligence because of your skin color, people are questioning it because you spout nonsense about things like "post traumatic slave syndrome."<br /><br />So, my question is: considering US society today, who exactly is engaging in all of this trauma-inducing activity?

You will have a marginalized group of people that will have severe health and mental issues. Not saying that all members of that group will be affected by the negative treatment, but its clear to see why to some living in this society, it can be traumatic for them at times. <br /><br />Of course, some are going to say that life is hard and these people need to get over themselves. But its not as easy to overcome the trauma, as it sounds. <br /><br />These men could have and should have been more empathetic towards the mother and her situation, because at the end of the day we are all human. Empathy is something we all need to practice more, regardless of our ethnic makeup. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-32154443863411616962018-08-30T23:49:27.451-05:002018-08-30T23:49:27.451-05:008:03 PM wrote: "Everyone is scared and mad ri...8:03 PM wrote: "Everyone is scared and mad right?

I am white, but I don't see why a black person should be scared of or mad at a confused, ill-informed white loudmouth anymore than I should be mad at or scared of a confused, ill-informed black one. My point being is why should color matter when it comes to such folks? Yes, on extremely rare occasions, one of these overt, in-your-face types does actually take action, but it is the quietly steaming lunatic that is usually the danger (and even those are statistically rare) insofar as "racist" actions. These types are like farts in church: if you are close enough, maybe a whiff of odor but it'll dissipate in seconds, leaving nothing more than a memory, merely amusing on a base level. To allow these types of loudmouths to be a (or even worse, the) representation of their respective races is a serious mistake. Fortunately, sensible people of all skin tones view these types, of whatever skin tone, as they deserve to be viewed.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-23022176670152014462018-08-30T23:31:09.327-05:002018-08-30T23:31:09.327-05:00I’m just trying to figure out what he means by “co...I’m just trying to figure out what he means by “condo kneegroes”.

Restorative justice, seems to mean “we suffered, so now you will suffer”. Only problem is, we weren’t alive and neither were they. I predict a Pyrrhic victory for these haters and a front row seat to watching them run the remaining white people out of Jackson within 10 years, for the rest of us. Until all races can put race aside, come together as good, albeit flawed, people who want to see peace, not division, Jackson will continue to decline. Heck, I know more black, middle class people getting out because of crime than I do white ones. It’s not about racism, it’s about ignorance and hatred not being good for anyone, long term. Didn’t work for the white racists who wanted the status quo in the 60s and it won’t work for the black racists who want revenge. What did Dr. King say?

They are hoping that someone white will be so scared or angered by their obvious absurdity that they will commit some act of violence or make a "racist statement" in retaliation which they can use in the Black community to gain support. These idiots are shunned by the Black community which they want to lead, so they fish for any opportunity to gain that community's support, even if it comes because of White retaliation to their rowdiness. The best thing anyone can do, Black or White, is to give them all the attention they deserve. None.

All it can do is allow those who suffered the injustice of state-sponsored racism to be free of it and have the same opportunity, as well as the same burdens and responsibilities, as any other citizen, i.e., "equal" should mean _EQUAL_, both in the rights and the responsibilities. State-sponsored racism has been gone for about 50 years. The US has elected a "black" (well, half-black, half-white) POTUS, black millionaires are common enough to warrant no real notice by anyone, and for the most part, most black people are free from general institutional racism (not completely, but mostly). What has not been stopped is individual "racism," be it white against black, black against white, or blue against red because it is more a function of what is commonly called "unbringing" and the idea that "like kinds should be with like kinds" and fear of the different rather than true "racism." And until most people get past that, I'd suggest that allowing change to continue to organically occur is the best, even if imperfect, solution.

I agree with the above, but it is also a reasonably accurate description of many white people in circa 1950-1970 Mississippi and a dead-on description of poor white people of the same time period, the obvious difference being that wealthy and even financially-comfortable whites didn't feel they were being kept down by black people. I was born in 1968, so I never knew actual, legally-mandated segregation, but every adult I knew from my earliest childhood memory did and the above sounds exactly like what the poor white trash claimed. <br /><br />Now, here is the weird part. At first glance, most sensible people would say that the poor whites were racist and wrong for thinking in such a fashion, and on certain levels, they were. But if society is going to allow another race, and especially its poor, to become favored, be it through affirmative action, allowed speech (you can say "cracker" or "whitey," but only if you are black, the "n-word," etc.) or any other preferential status or treatment, you get the same (racist) result. To be sure, being black in Mississippi is no "golden ticket" but until PEOPLE - not RACES - learn that each person is largely responsible for and must shoulder most of the burden of their own conditions, things will never get better. You cannot make up for the past by fucking up the future.
