Why do some whites act like racism doesnt exist??

[leftcoastkev]

Besides the liars, because it doesn't negatively effect them.

A lot of people have no concept of putting themselves another persons shoes. If they do not experience it, it simply doesn't exist.

 

[Logical Truths]

Ironically most racist people never admit to being racist. They be quick to be like "Not Me"

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Because it doesn't affect them.

I think some white people having to admit to racism makes them feel guilty and puts them on the defense.

I used to have that knee jerk reaction but I learned to separate myself in certain situations and open my mind. I still have a tendency to get defensive when I feel there's too much generalizing going on..human nature maybe.

When you're conning someone do you admit the con or do you lie and play dumb no matter how absurd it sounds? Occasionally though you get a few racists who go off code and tell the truth.

Willful Ignorance

Along with what everybody else already said...

I think some of them really think that just because things aren't as bad as they were for us during the civil rights movement, that we have nothing to complain about anymore. In their eyes everything is equal now, but of course we know thats not true.

 

[LcnsdbyROYALTY]

Acknowledging racism directly acknowledges White privilege, which they claim to also not know exists.

 

[atribecalledgabi]

Doesn't affect them. then, along those lines, they think ignorance saves them from being called out/apart of the problem.

To add the realization of bigotry and prejudice magically appears once non-black grandparents have a half black grandchild.

 

[Copper]

Admitting racism exist would be an admission of an unfair society. Which would debunk thier inherent belief that they are superior.

 

[babelipsss]

Who cares? Would you like them more if they admitted it? They are just as white either way. It's not like they are going to do anything about it if they suddenly see the light.

Cosign all of the above

When debating with whites online look for keywords they use to unequivocally prove your point that they are racist...

if they type the words: liberals, thugs, race baiting, race pimp, sharpton/jesse jackson, MLK, blue lives matter, LEO (law enforcement officer) instead of cop or police u know you're dealing with a bigot so adjust your argument accordingly.. i know forgot some keywords but yea...

Not necessarily but I also hate stubbornness.

Especially when the facts are right in your face.

You can tell a mf that waters wet and they'll debate you as to why it's not.

It's just frustrating because you would think they're just trolling you by acting ignorant.

Because doing so admits the American lie that this is the land of the free where any and everyone can be anything or do anything with a lil hard work. This is stolen land built by stolen people for the betterment of the thieves. Admitting racism means they have to admit to being accessories to that crime. CACs invented "no snitching" they not about collectively tell on themselves doing so negates all that patriotic "greatest nation" bullshit they try to force on everyone

Who said racism doesn't exist? it exists in the small minds of idiots for sure, but not in my world, racism is just another word for ignorance and hate, I know a guy who uses the N word and all kinds of other racist words towards all other races, he also talks shit about most white people he comes into contact with, I don't even see him as a racist he's just full of hate, I feel sorry for him sometimes, is it possible for a man to makes racist remarks about black people but be the worlds biggest Bob Marley stan? shit is strange.
