It's uncanny. Dude writes those long ass posts (I know..."Look who's talking"...I get it), and somehow manages not to ever address anything that's actually being argued.
No one is saying that most white people aren't racist, they're just stupid. We're saying that most white people are racist BECAUSE they are stupid. Some of you seem to think they are racist because they are just inherently and purely evil. That's a lazy and retarded way of thinking and honestly it's just as stupid as what they do. Why? Because we have plenty of information out there explaining exactly where racism came from, why it was developed the way it has been, and how it constructed and maintained as a system. Racism isn't just some "white people are the devil, that's why they hate black people" type shit. It was part of an actual plan that was put in place to keep a small minority powerful and keep the masses from coordinating and rebelling. That's not my take on the situation. That's fact. We have documentation, historical evidence, and even admissions from some of the architects proving it.
And yes, the distinction matters. If white people are racist because they are inherently evil, then nothing can be done to solve that problem outside of eliminating them altogether. Some of you might be in favor of that, but unless you're complete idiots, you know that's not something that's viable. However, if you acknowledge that most white people are simply dupes then you understand that there is at least a possibility that you can educate them and move them away from their hatred. This reaction to learning about Tulsa should be proof of that, but most of you are so caught up in your own biases and prejudices that you can't even see that.
Ok bruh.

As I said before, most of this stuff is available to the public.
Everyone DOES have the same access to that information.
People just need to make the effort to learn about it.
Stop waiting for the latest history fad to get trending on social media.
And if that is how a person learns of it, don't let your thirst for knowledge stop when what's popular ends.
It's safe to say people made the effort to learn all about their favorite sports team, comic, rapper, and etc.
If they've got time for that, they've got time to look up black history if it's also of interest to them.
To say otherwise is just lazy and throwing the blame away from yourself.
It's no different than a fit athletic person being compared to an out of shape slob.
One made the effort to put in work. The other just ate big macs all week.
i feel like i know what you trying to say but the delivery comes off very...idk... snobbish maybe??
its like when Du be on his "black panther was successful b/c it was trendy" nonsense
like, why does it matter how people find out about stuff? Are we going to discount them wanting to know more once it became trending on social media?
Like i cant imagine 10 year old me, from baton rouge la asking my grandmother out the blue what she knew about the Tulsa bombings/black wall street with absolutely no context. I literally just woke up and decided thats what I wanted to talk to my grandma about
hell i know people irl who ONLY get their news from social media b/c thats what they are on all day. That's a different convo in itself but we just dont consume information today like we used to and that's not a bad thing imo.

Most people don't care about anything that doesn't directly affect or involve them. Let's be real, a lot of black people don't even make an effort to learn about this stuff. Intellectual curiosity just isn't that common among the masses.

Niggas say shit like this and dont have no receipts on what they doing in our communities
No actually everyone doesn't. You would think it but not everyone has internet access let alone good internet access even in 2019. Everybody don't live in reasonable distance of a library still. And everybody don't have somebody around them to expose them to the fact this information even exists to begin with.
Also while yes we do live in an era where information is more widely shared than ever we also have more misinformation being shared as well. There's more accounts of historical events that can vary depending on where exactly you get your information from that it shouldn't be a shock if people don't know the entirety of these events or of some of them all.

Didn't read.
Nah lol. I get it and thats why i don't waste time trying to educate whites who show the slightest bit of resistance to learn their evil history. It's cool if you're ignorant because you just really really never knew about any of this stuff but the moment you're being taught and you begin denying it just shows complicity. Most of them show complicity with injustice in some fashion

For me... 10/10 I'd rather deal with brothers like @Reem who may have to be reined in than indifferent niggas who are completely dismissive of the reality of white supremacy. Yall ain't feeling his stance or whatever but in real life that's a trustworthy black man as far as I'm concerned
