just one of the insightful posts from my new favorite blogger, who goes by the pen name Julian Abagond: https://abagond.wordpress.com/2010/09/25/black-people-according-to-white-people/

11/28/2010 12:16:05 AM

That doesn't strike me as insightful.

11/28/2010 1:21:29 AM

you meant this as sarcasm, right? sometimes its hard to tell on the internet.

Yes white men definitely think that.

^^no; despite what many a self-reassuring commentator says, the election of Obama doesn't mean society is post-racial

11/28/2010 5:57:46 AM

And in response to that I say.

11/28/2010 6:01:01 AM

No one's saying that racism doesn't exist. Where the fuck did you get that? The people of this thread just seem surprised that someone would praise something so simple-minded as being "insightful."

This is hardly new and different. A lot of comedians have been commenting on this same shit for years, and most I've seen were at a higher intellectual level than this mess (then again, I also try to avoid shit comedians).

It's not even thoughtful, it's basically just a list of common racial stereotypes... It even manages to completely miss the irony (and hypocrisy) of making sweeping generalizations about all white people (based on the blogger's anecdotal experiences, no less) in an article that opposes making sweeping generalizations of all black people.


Seriously, if this is all it takes to impress you, you're probably an idiot... or perhaps you just have low standards.

[Edited on November 28, 2010 at 6:20 AM. Reason : ^yeah I may have been trolled. But then what the fuck was the point of this thread?]

11/28/2010 6:20:18 AM

I guess it wasn't enough of a warning. Next time I'll put the "everyone under the line is being trolled" picture.

11/28/2010 6:23:54 AM

the OP was not a troll

11/28/2010 6:26:14 AM

The OP is not insightful. I think a better description would be racis5. It is a racist stereotype to say white people believe that crap.

11/28/2010 8:20:40 AM

now here's some more naked racism, which gets substantial play in the mainstream media: https://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/steve-sailer/

Wow, what a blog. There's got to be something off with a guy from India who moves to New York and pretends to be an expert on race in America. It doesn't help that he married a black woman who turned out to be batshit crazy.

11/28/2010 11:22:12 AM

I should become a blogger and make a post called "white people according to black people."




And all it will say is "Dey Racists."

11/28/2010 1:50:30 PM

11/28/2010 2:07:28 PM

This is stupid. Why would I give a shit about the misinformed musings on race from some Indian dude with a fetish for black women?

You might as well read a blog from 0EPII1 about race relations.

11/28/2010 3:03:22 PM

To be fair, I do kind of look like a gluestick.

11/28/2010 7:36:55 PM

^^by "West Indian" (possibly shoulda said "West-Indian") I meant someone from the West Indies, basically an Afro-Caribbean

Over the weekend a girl was thrown to the ground and purse stolen while heading to her car in my girlfriend's apartment complex. The description of the criminal was tall slim African American male. Surprise Surprise...

11/29/2010 9:04:45 PM

I have nothing to add other than the picture on the top of the blog is of St. Nicks Pub in Harlem on 148th and St Nicholas ave. Ive always wanted to go but never have.

11/29/2010 10:50:55 PM

white people, eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
black people, do dooo dooo dooooo

11/30/2010 6:45:39 PM

^My friends and I literally say "eh eh" and "do do" in public as an alternative to "white people" and "black people", thanks to that flash animation.

11/30/2010 10:29:08 PM

So you call black people doo-doo in public?

12/2/2010 1:04:53 AM

I'm gonna be honest, that lamebook frame made me about laugh my tits off.

For some reason "u speak like British ppl" and "u all like fishin for sum reason" are particular favorites.

12/2/2010 1:15:06 AM

^^Yeah. Or do the head movement.

Could you possibly be more wrong? (Or are you using a different definition of "truth" than is normally used?)
Truth is immutable and universal.

stereotypes have the same relation to the truth that grape Flavor-Aid has to grapes

"How come african americans are not being ridiculed for being smart and nerdy?"

the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, perpetuated via various feedback loops, have kept the brown man down; on the other hand recent non-refugee immigrants from Africa are very intelligent and do well in life, much like most Asian-Americans (because they or their recent ancestors came from similar backgrounds)

12/3/2010 9:00:17 PM

The main problem with racism in America is that it does not approach a solution on equality. Instead, if anyone says anything remote negatively about a black person, regardless of whether it is true or not, they are vilified for being a 'racist.' Black culture has its shortfalls, the race is not full of saints, and many of their organizations and churches preach racism. I imagine that the proportion of racist blacks is equal to the proportion of racist whites.

No white people go around saying that blacks are better lovers. In fact, think back to high school. Remember those girls that were "nigger lovers" and were almost over-the-top in letting everyone know about every black dick that they sucked or sat on? Look at them 25. Are they still doing that? All of the ones that I know aren't, and some of them have turned out to be the biggest racists that I know.

If you want the opinion of this white person, here it is: It took generations for white people to build up wealth and equity and firmly establish ourselves in the middle class. Blacks have only had the opportunity to do so in the last 50 years. They can't reasonably expect to be catapulted to an equal level overnight. It took white people 235 years to do it. They can start complaining in 2195.

12/4/2010 3:22:06 AM

...but by then whitey will have also had another 185 years

feedback loops, man...feedback loops

shit like this is why we need affirmative action

12/4/2010 3:46:51 AM

Is Pikey just trolling, or is he really that stupid and racist? (I mean, damn.)

12/4/2010 7:50:42 AM

I think some people ITT who don't know me well think I'm black and getting kinda uppity

12/4/2010 8:33:01 AM

However, my nature doesn't permit me to leave things left unsaid: Your post is absurd.

I didn't enslave anyone. My ancestors did not enslave anyone. They didn't even fucking come here until the 20th century. I'm tired of being held responsible for some shit that people (who might have had similar skin color as me) did a couple hundred years ago. Stop peddling these racist fucking policies (a.k.a. affirmative action) as anything other than exactly that. We all know black people that are affluent, intelligent, and all around successful. We all know white people that are complete trash. Giving anyone any kind of advantage based on the color of their skin is racist as shit and you should be ashamed for promoting that.

[Edited on December 4, 2010 at 3:54 PM. Reason : ]

I agree, d357r0y3r.

That's why it's troubling that white people get so many advantages.

Well put.

12/4/2010 4:44:13 PM

Anything that starts out with some nonsense about being held responsible for the past is not well-put.

What makes you think you're being held responsible for the past?

12/4/2010 4:48:17 PM

When publicly funded institutions provide distinct advantages to certain individuals because of their skin color, how am I not being held responsible? Why am I being forced to help fund efforts that are not just overtly racist, but also a blatant violation of the equal protection clause?

12/4/2010 4:57:19 PM

...not to mention if you were the white male that almost got into a [job, school, etc.],
but didn't, so a less qualified non-white-male could be helped.


(...and not to mention that this only perpetuates racism, because a whole new generation of would-be racists can say, "You didn't actually earn that.")


Just STFU Bridget. Affirmative action is 100% racist... even the Brits call it "positive discrimination"
Gee... I wonder who's being discriminated against?

And what do stupid liberals say when you bring this up?
They certainly never say, "Oh yeah, well it's okay to discriminate against white males, because of slavery and jim crow..."
No, they never say that....

12/4/2010 5:21:55 PM

^I'm not supporting or defending affirmative action. I'm asking where you two fucks get off acting like you're being held responsible for shit.

You haven't yet established how you are. List the steps explicitly, please.
