Black guy here. This is racist

Yep, I've been noticing an increase of racist material in the last few months.

White guy here, and I absolutely agree. It brings me back to a lot of the discussion in this post from a couple of days ago.

As the guy who posted it stated:

Reddit can be a rather racist place

A substantial portion of the comments basically jumped down his throat because of that statement, challenging and berating him for saying such a thing.

He went on to explain what he meant in this comment, and the majority of the responses were that his observations were bereft of substance and he neglected to provide examples of the subtle racism he had observed.

This post is an example, reddit

Just out of curiosity and if you don't mind responding, having stated that you're a black guy, can you say how it makes you feel in 2011 when you see this kind of shit posted publicly?

I'm a white guy, and it makes me feel a little sick and ashamed.

As a second black guy, the worst part about posts like this is the generalizations that the posters bring with them. This is what FOX NEWS does. This is what the WBC does. This is what Joe The Plumber did.

When someone makes bold statements with biased "statistics" (I use quotation marks because "most people" and "generally" aren't exactly "statistics") implying that the majority of people agree with their way of thinking, it starts the bandwagon effect. Regardless of what message they are sending, they are convincing people who are too lazy to check their facts ("most" of us, right?) to believe the "facts" that they just read.

The post itself doesn't bother me. The manner in which the community could accept it is what bothers me the most.

if you dont embrace stereotypes as one big joke life will always piss you off.

[–]Thingthree12 -3 points-2 points ago

This is racist.

FTFY

Why should your race add any value to the statement, "This is racist."? Being black is not a certificate which merits your judgement on an article's racism more or less valuable than anyone else's.

p.s.

The post is racist, because someone thinks that shit is funny. The post is somewhat true, because people are racist.

Oh my god! My time machine has finally worked! Can someone please tell me what year it is?

[–]uhhhclem 1 point2 points ago

At a certain point, it's not enough to just downvote reposts; one must open the poster's profile and downvote everything else.

[–]r1a 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Hate to burst your bubble, but reddit will add an upvote for everything you downvote if you do it like that. You have to click each post and downvote the post on its own page for it to count if you're going to be mass downvoting. What would be even more effective is PMing the OP and letting him know how you feel about this post and have a mature conversation. Perhaps he's not aware of the subtle (edit: and blatant) racism this post evokes. Let him know.

[–]uhhhclem 2 points3 points ago

It evokes subtle racism too? All I see is the blatant racism.

Man, not cool! shakes head

[–]Tampert -2 points-1 points ago

Because racism is in the eye of the beholder and stereotypes only exist to laugh at.

[–]Suemara 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In some cases yes, I would have to agree with you. Stereotypes are fun to laugh at. If this had been a post about black people and their love for chicken or grape drink or whatever, I would have laughed and moved on. But this is a negative stereotype, and the only people laughing are the people who aren't black. Saying all black people go to jail is just as racist as saying all Arabic people are terrorist.....it's totally not cool!
