Racism in humor is interesting. It was the basis for many jokes dealing with stereotypes and stereotypes are inherently funny in the bigoted extreme. I don't know. I say laugh it up. If we can't embrace our differences let's laugh about them. I love hot dogs and you love ... no, you love hot dogs, too. Wait, who doesn't like hot dogs? Well, you wear a turban and I wear Crocs with socks. Can't we embrace our sameness?!

The most annoying thing is white folks telling POC what is and isn't racist.

Just look at the Democrat Party. It started out racist; it's still racist. It likes to try to deflect its racist guilt onto the opposing party. It adopts policies which force the opposing party, which happens to care about all Americans, to seem racist. Democrats are assholes. Really, it is difficult to stop laughing after reading that. Do you have any other equally funny/stupid jokes available? You should read more of his posts. That guy's stupidity reaches epic levels.

Of course it's real. People should take the brunt of responsibility for their lives but that doesn't mean racism doesn't exist.

If you're not a minority or a non-white person, it's not your place to say whether racism is real or not, or if it does or doesn't exist. A lot of white people are racist, and it's disingenuous to imply otherwise. The minute a minority family moves into an all-white neighborhood, the white flight begins. A lot of NON white people are hate filled bigots which is the exact same thing as being racist and it's disingenuous to imply otherwise. Your post makes you sound like the typical clueless white liberal that NEVER interacts with anyone but other clueless white liberals. You probably think your faux OUTRAGE holier than though comment entitles you to some praise but it just makes you look naïve and spoiled. Lucky for you there are tons of spoiled clueless white kids these days so pat each other on the back. For you kids, it's a lot easier and safer than actually talking to a non white. That's if you can find one within a hundred miles of your blue state safe space.

It's a sign of privilege to even be able to ask if racism is real.
Like rich people wondering if poverty truly exists. Just because you haven't experienced something, doesn't its existence is questionable.

Liberals tend to play the race card a bit too much as they claim racist for just disagreeing with a minority, pretty much.
they are against Trump's temporary travel ban because they feel like it targets Muslims etc but obviously those areas (and naturally those types of people are clearly a problem on a world scale in general terrorism right now but the democrats will never say this even though it's obvious) pose a threat to the USA which is why Trump wanted the temp ban in the first place. but the media plays it up as a "Muslim ban", to further claim the race BS, which is obviously exaggerated as they are more concerned about petty BS than protecting the safety of the citizens here in the USA. but they can't see this common sense thing as they are more concerned with rebelling against anything Trump does than anything else it seems.
liberals seem to have forgotten about Sep 11th 2001 and won't catch the drift until the streets of the USA are flooded with terrorists and by then it will be too late. it's always best to be safe than sorry. just look at the rise in terrorist stuff in other countries (like UK etc) when they let a bunch of foreigners in from shady areas of the planet in there. it would be wise to limit certain areas of the world from entering the USA as it's just not worth the risk of letting terrorist into the country for the inconvenience of a few. but the liberals are going to have to learn the hard way. but if some terrorist act does happen again in the USA they will blame Trump for it instead of themselves as they are the ones all for letting more and more people into the USA from shady areas of the world unlike us conservatives who have some common sense to see the obvious.

Ha ha ha. Delicious. Do you know how many United States citizens have been killed on U.S. soil by terrorists from the countries on Trump's Muslim ban? 0 Do you know what countries the 9/11 hijackers were from? Saudi, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. Can you guess which countries were not on Trump's ban list? So yeah, you're right. We will blame Trump. For not actually banning travel from the countries that caused 9/11 in the first place.

I think racism as a term dates back to Trotsky and was meant as a form of thought control. It was common in pre-communist society to believe in racialism--the idea that different races have different behavior/attributes and that you would have a natural affinity for your own kind. It was also normal to generalize (or stereotype as we call it now). I.e. if you know there's a hungry tiger in a cave, it is probably best not to go in there--that is stereotyping of course since it is not a sure thing the tiger will be hungry or want to eat you.
It's ok to generalize about tigers, but not humans.
Racism is a slogan/insult, like nazi when the correct term is National Socialist. A dumbing down of discussion--which is the intention.
This belief on race did not change in North America until the 1950s and was used for the basis of diversity/multiculturalism.
But it is not consistent. Case in point, if I said to you that it would be best for lions if tigers, leopards, and cheetahs lived among them, I think most sane people would say it is a bad idea because there would be competition for resources, conflicts, all sorts of potential problems.
Yet, apparently, people from Africa should be in France, people from Pakistan should be in England, black students should be taught alongside white students etc. No problems. Nonsense of course--because the greater the introduced population becomes, the more it will have an effect on the previous inhabitants. Thus we have rapes, prostitution grooming, random attacks, calls for sharia law, reduced wages for low skill jobs...
The mayor of Baltimore said people need space to destroy. 65% black. When they started arresting people they were accused of racism. 65% black. Let's repeat that: 65% black. Kentucky has some of the poorest white populations but they are not burning their houses down. In Pakistan recently people complained there wasn't enough electricity for air conditioning so they burned down the power station (which I do not think will help get air conditioning back on).
And no one in the western media seems to care very much if China or Japan or Saudi Arabia or Israel remains nationalistic and controls migration. Especially galling with Israel since you have zionists like Barbara Lerner Specter saying Israel must remain a Jewish state and yet working for Sweden to lose its white majority. She said as much in a video interview-that Europe must lose its white Christian majority. Why?
I saw a movie once, the Zebra Killer, it was about a white hillbilly who dressed up as a black man and committed murders. Based on a true story..except they had it wrong. The killers were a gang of black muslims who deliberately targeted white people-disabled, the elderly, in the early 70s. Killed dozens apparently. How much news coverage did it get?
There's lots of examples like that. One of the most prolific serial killers in Canada was a black man who tortured his victims and was kept being let out of jail.
But there is a pattern usually. You find that the media that keeps shouting about racism is owned by Jewish interests, and they have a double standard. White people wanting to prosper and be safe--that's racism. But it is ok to have a movie titled "White Men Can't Jump" or publish medical data that suggests western Europeans of Scandinavia descent are more inclined to have mental illness. Yet when the co-founder of DNA, James Watson, reaffirmed what HP Lovecraft or Mark Twain observed decades earlier, that a sub-Saharan African tended to have different cognitive behavior than a European, scandal! Racism.
The intelligent folk of any race can see the scam if they consider the fact that black crime is blamed on the racism of white society, but the economy of the same society is controlled by the Fed--a private bank owned by Jews. And who owns the media that is saying poverty and crime is caused by racism? Jews.
It is unavoidable to discuss now because the talons of control that were in Russia before the czar was overthrown is showing the same signs in the US and Europe.
Apparently if native born Brits complain about being maimed or murdered by nail bombs that is racism. But when Israeli settlers from New York are attacked by native Palestinians--they have every right to expel the arabs. Double standards.
Oh and another big lie by the same media. We were told for decades that slavery was invented by white christians and yet the Old Testament sanctions the slavery of non jews. In fact, not only was slavery ok with jews and Muslims, but Africans still have slavery in Africa and it hardly registers a blip in the same media.
Short answer, yes, racism is a real propaganda tool. if we want to solve problems of crime and poverty and injustice it is best to avoid the word and deal with the causes. Follow the money.
