Marcus Smart's painful postgame incident a lasting reminder that racism is taught

It takes generations, but personal feelings can change.

There will still be some who hate interracial marriages. But not as many as there were back in the 1950s.
And to most today, it's not even a thought that there are interracial marriages. But in the 1950s, there'd been a huge outcry.

So, your feeling won't change, but your grandkids feelings will, when compared to yours.

 

Again, you are equating an episode of racial epithets being spewed by some bimbo and applying the term of systemic which is an unequivocally wrong place to apply the term.

 

You do realize, the lady in the OP, didn't use it as a term of endearment. You understand that, correct?

And it's not possible for a black person to be racist against another black person. Or a white person to be racist against another white person. Correct?

The word merely provided the outward showing of racism. Not that the word itself.
The fact a black man would even speak to the lady in the OP seemed appalling to her.

 

Well I agree that there will be some form of racism but I also don't think we should ignore it.

 

Because this ins't some 1 off occurrence. The OP story just used this one example of how RACISM is still TAUGHT.

 

lol @ "my feelings won't change" suggesting that I must be racist to point out the fact that trying to change individual's right to freedom to be racist is fundamental.

Typical.

 

I just showed you how your type of thinking has largely been put under the bed. And you think I live in fantasy land?

 

You just said, feelings can't change. I agree, your feelings can't change. I didn't suggest it, you did.

 

The woman was mad for whatever reason and was trying hurt the man the best way she could. If he had been white, she would have called him a fat/Ugly *******. So I dont think this really is an example of racism unless it seems obvious that she insulted or targeted him only because he was black.

 

Over the course of time, those types of ism's become so small, they can be ignored.
That hasn't happened yet with racism.

But it has happened with thoughts to slaver, women's suffrage, Gays marrying, although this one is new and there's still a lot of people who view this as horrible and would still love to discriminate.
But over generations, as this systemic thoughts is taught less and less, due to it becoming essentially non issues, it will go away. Likely never entirely.

 

Do you think this was the 1st ever encounter this black man has ever had in his life? Given that he's been alive for likely 30 yrs or less, shouldn't words like that have been erased from most people's thoughts? Unless it is still being overtly or covertly taught?

 

The word is used pretty frequently by blacks themselves. Its definitely out there as a tool for angry people to use.

Other words that used to be prejorative are NOT out there in this day and age and thus are not easily top of mind for an angry person to come up with.

 

Absolutely INCORRECT...

You do not remember the slaughter of thousands of Hutu's by the Tutsi. It was called a genocide for a reason.

You also forget how the Irish were treated for centuries.

 

Racism, by definition, is thinking 1 race is superior to another.
In today's world it gets thrown about willy nilly.

And to be honest, I say there's only 1 race, the human race. But many different cultures and ethnics.

So, to abide by my own rules, this wasn't a racist incident. Just a hateful one due to the man's skin color. Which, IMO, is still wrong. To hate another simply because of the tone of one's skin color.

 

Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits and can be prejudice or discriminated against merely for ideology. The Hutu despised the Tutsi as they felt they were inferior to the Hutu and needed to be eradicated.

And apparently, you did not learn of Hibernophobia growing up? Irish, in many cases, were treated way worse than Africans during our dark history.

I still find it funny that you use an event, where a white women screams racial epithets to a millionaire basket ball player and claim proof of systemic racism, yet do not realize that blacks and whites can be racist against each other....

 

I have a hard time understanding where one’s right to be liked by everyone comes from.

 

Um right, show me the evidence or it did not happen. The days of me taking the word of anybody on their "oppression" are long long gone. The fact that this garbage was published at all is an obscenity.

 

First of all, the story is probably total BS. Second, ONE, repeat, ONE person uses language that can be found in rap music and used by countless blacks millions of times a day and that equates to systemic racism.

Systemic racism is when one group of people believe another group can't make it on their own without help or will never amount to be nothing more than victims. Systemic racism is when one group of people believe another group is born with privileges which makes them superior. Can you identify?

 

Right, Africans invented systemic racism on Earth and they were the first race to teach it. Oh, wait, maybe the Biden/BLM terrorist party beat some little girl's mommy's head with a 2X4, or they looted some little kid's parent's business, or their Biden/BLM MOHouse Spellsmens dragged their grandpa out of his car and spray painted his mouth and hit him in the head with a brick, and they learned it that way.

Racism happens, it always happens, it will always happen, and even the words don't have to be taught, you can hear the words yelled out all over the place in 99.9% "minority" hoods. We are reminded constantly regardless of what we do, because teaching it makes it live.

TEACHING THAT RACISM IS TAUGHT MAKES IT LIVE TOO!

Universal genocide (of every single being in the universe that doesn't submit, like ending racism) only way to accomplish this too:
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." (Obama)

 

FYI, to be specific, that conflict was known as tribalism.

 

This is the definition of racism. She saw a black man and immediately insulted him by using a slur against his colour. To her, a black person is inferior

 

Meanwhile, back in reality, the left continues to say cops profile certain people, but the left fails to tell us what they believe that profile is. I'm assuming the left thinks that profile is bad, otherwise why would they claim the cops use it to stop certain people?

And calling a black man, or any other person, the N word is normal for 12 percent of the population. Go listen to their music or stand on a street corner in Chicago. I know, that's different.

 

Sorry but your post is not even commonsense.

 

I grew up in Illinois, NJ, spent time in Florida Arizona and Colorado. In my life I see racism from blacks toward whites at a 30 to one ratio of the other way around. It is what it is, perhaps blacks are lashing out for how they were treated decades ago, but I rarely witness (almost never) acts of racism from whites toward blacks but the other way around, Yes and Yes...........................Yes.

I recall one time in 1968 when racial division was causing riots everywhere, the blacks were threatening to come to the "white" side of town to burn it down, everyone had rifles near their front doors, it was a crazy time, I heard one and only one neighbor use the "N" word, and my Dad jumped down his throat and danced on his lungs. Racism is learned behavior, from BOTH side. One can choose to be racist or not, simple as that.

We now confuse any statement no matter how true as racism if someone wants to.

 

She was leaving an NBA game. She saw LOTS of black men and purchased tickets to see said black men.

The problem with one claiming systemic racism based upon an event they claimed to have encountered is that there is WAY to many Jussie Smollett's incidents in today's hyperbolic world!
