White Comedian in Blackface Proves that White Folks at BYU Don’t Know or Care About Black History

You might be the first person to visit this site to admit to being racist. Kudos to you! However, I do want to point out that there are no varying degrees of racism. You admited to being a “little racist,” but that’s like saying you’re “half pregnant.” Bottom line it’s just silly.

Hmm, you love to throw out random data with nothing to back it up. First off, Blacks don’t cause more crime. Crime rates are the lowest they’ve been in decades, and the vast majority of any crimes Blacks are arrested for are nonviolent – War on Drugs, anyone, which, despite evidence that White middle-class families are just as likely, if not more so in some cases, to abuse drugs, continues to be waged in low-income neighborhoods with people of color. Percentage-wise, Whites only have Blacks beat by about two percent when it comes to welfare, as Blacks, Whites, and Latinos all have at least 33% or so that receive this service, and population-wise, Whites definitely outnumber Blacks in that regard. Most recipients are male, by the way, not female, and many are also employed.

“Black people on the other hand do require a constant PR campaign to convince everyone “hey black people aren’t so bad… see”.  Its a complete joke.”

Maybe because of Jim Crow, Al Jolson, D.W. Griffith, Jesse Helms, American Eugenics Movement… I mean, do I really have to continue? It’s obvious that your privileges as a person who’s always been accepted into American culture allow you to gloss over these glaring realities that Blacks faced in the past and in some respects, continue to confront presently. People such as yourself continue to use the actions of some people within a particular minority as an excuse to use blanket descriptors. But God forbid Rippa or any other minority figure do that to whites, even though he isn’t. 

“reduce property values, are unequivocally racist (they hate pretty much everyone including other black people, especially if they are gay), don’t really pay much in taxes (i don’t have the figure in front of me so it doesnt go in the per capita list), and make schools and other public areas unsafe.”

Uh, someone forget about redlining and economic discrimination? Or how about NIMBY, the policy that allowed whites and corporations to throw their trash, toxic chemicals, and litter into segregated minority neighborhoods, which has a negative impact in certain areas that continues to this very day(Cancer Alley, for instance)? So Blacks are unequivocally racist, even though there are plenty of well-known Black Civil Rights leaders who were integrationists and preached Universal Acceptance? You also can’t use figures you can’t back up – especially vague and ridiculous claims such as the one you just made- as evidence. But yeah, you must be pretending Columbine never happened. 

“Its not about being racist, just look at the numbers.” 

It’s clearly about being racist, because when we look at the numbers your arguments don’t hold water.

“Think of it this way: if 90% of apples you ate made you sick, would you stop eating apples?  Same thing with black people, practically every time every time black people get together bad stuff goes down ie stabbing shooting what have you.”

Depends on the type of apples you were eating, as not all apples are grown nor taste the same. Wait, did I just blow your mind with your own analogy? As for your opinions about Black people, one could be equally reactionary like yourself and cite the public lynchings of Blacks by the KKK, the Holocaust, WW I and WW II, the Inquisition, the mass genocide of indigenous peoples – including the Aborigines- and countless other wars and conflicts, but you’d miss the point. All of us have our Hitlers and Pol Pots, but we also have our MLK’s and Martin Luthers, filled with love, understanding, and wisdom waiting to be shared to liberate the minds of the oppressed and challenge the ignorant like yourself.
