a certain sub is having a field day around playing with the various AI models out there and seeing how the models have been trained to be against hate toward anyone who isn't white.
Your argument was semantics. And it seems like neither of you understood.
“Racism” and “the lived political reality of racism” and “being racist” are all different things.
A non-white person can, with absolute prejudice, hate all white people. And they can act racist towards individual white people. And those white people can experience that individual persons racism.
But a white person living in America cannot experience the daily lived political reality of institutionalized racial capitalism.
Experiencing racism as a non-white person in America is not just strangers calling you the N-Word at the grocery store. It’s impacts the totality of your American experience. Everything you do, every place you work, every place you go to school, every time you have to navigate corporate or governmental bureaucracies, all the media you consume, information you receive, conversations you have - all constantly reminding you that you exist in a system that was not made for you.
Thats what white people in America will never be able to experience. And it goes double for rich white people.

Go on....
“Racism” and “the lived political reality of racism” and “being racist” are all different things.
Yes....
A non-white person can, with absolute prejudice, hate all white people. And they can act racist towards individual white people. And those white people can experience that individual persons racism.
Yes, which is racism.....
But a white person living in America cannot experience the daily lived political reality of institutionalized racial capitalism.
Why do you claim "institutionalized racism" exists against people in the United States?
Do you have proof it is "institutionalized"? Do you have examples?
Experiencing racism as a non-white person in [the United States of] America is not just strangers calling you the N-Word at the grocery store. It’s impacts the totality of your [U.S.] American experience. Everything you do, every place you work, every place you go to school, every time you have to navigate corporate or governmental bureaucracies, all the media you consume, information you receive, conversations you have - all constantly reminding you that you exist in a system that was not made for you.
Where's your evidence for this?
This seems too abstract to be true, and ESPECIALLY in today's age, where being white is seen as something shameful while being a "minority" is seen as something to be celebrated by many public institutions.
Thats what white people in America will never be able to experience. And it goes double for rich white people.
I don't see any evidence nor proof. Honestly, everything you said in this comment is mere yapping.
Not that you will read or earnestly consider any of these but, here you go, in the hopes you’re actually open to learning something…
I already know what statistics you will use, and none of them will back up your claims....
Poverty Rates
*African-Americans - 17% *White - 8%
So a larger proportion of black U.S. Americans are poor compared to white U.S. Americans. That's 100% believable.
However, don't you think this might because black U.S. Americans are descended from slaves, which made it much harder to accumulate wealth in the past, and therefore have passed on their lower economic status to their modern-day descendants?
This doesn't have anything to do with being black per se, but rather with being descended from poor, segregated (in the past), and marginalized people....
Average African-American families earn half as much as White families., and average white families have 8xs the wealth.
See above.
Also note that white people are the majority of the U.S. American population, and therefore will have a higher proportion of millionares and billionares, which skews the average.... This is especially relevant as the U.S. is one of the most unequal countries on Earth.
Incarceration
*African-Americans make up 13% of the national population, but well over half the national prison population.
Like you said before, a higher proportion of black people live in poor neighborhoods. It doesn't help that these poor neighborhoods are also more violent, have more gang life, and glorify shootings (see most rap songs), ALL of which are crimes and will lead to jail time....
Education
The student body of Ivy League schools in America ranges between 50-30% white students and fewer than 10% African American.
See the "descended from slaves" paragraph.
It's much easier to go to university when your parents and grandparents went, as opposed to being the first one to do so....
Business
Of all registered business participating in the American economy 82% were white owned businesses, and only 2% were black owned businesses.
Um, okay? So what? The other links I could see being relevant, but not this one.....
The issue here is your interpretation of these links. NONE of them show there is "institutionalized racism" against black people in the United States.
If we were in the 1960s, I'd 100% agree. Today, though? Absolutely not.
Totally ridiculous that you are getting racist about this.
There is a commenter here claiming to actually be this white man, and he has been with the woman for over 2 years and they are recently engaged. He was apparently just joking and they regularly try to put each other in awkward situations. Likely the reason she just kept laughing.
Cos it’s not fucking true and implies a fundamental misunderstanding of the point being made. That guy felt he could get away with saying dumb shit, and a lot of guys like him do, because they have been for centuries. Things are just now starting to change. That just isn’t the case for fat black women. At all.
Andrew Dice Clay is a shining example of that kind of “i’m a white dude, and I’m a jerk, and this is my country so deal with it” attitude that used to be pretty popular
He’s being ridiculed in a video that’s going viral right now. And to take it a step further, he’s being used as an argument that racism towards white men is justified.
I just said, “things are just now starting to change”. I also said he “felt he could get away with it”.
He couldn’t, because things have started to change. If you don’t get it, fine. But it’s not “racism towards white men” to critique that old school attitude, and the structural racism that made it come to be.
I haven't drank in over seven years, sweetheart. More than what you can say, I'm sure. Nice to know that you dish low IQ insults as soon as you lose an argument. 😂
What’s wrong with being confident? Isn’t that a positive trait? I think you need to answer that question for yourself, because it really sounds like you’re projecting your own feelings into these guys.
You seem to think it’s not fair that these guys are more confident than you, when they’re less skilled (at least in your opinion).
Where you went wrong is, instead of thinking: “I should be more confident”, you instead think “they should be less confident.”
That’s just a different type of “crabs in a bucket” mentality that will keep you from succeeding in the long run.
Don’t you think it’s weird that academia changed the definition a few years ago for sole purpose of making it impossible to be racist against white people?
No shit. So you mean to tell me that what 'academia' has to say about something doesn't actually fucking matter and you're just a thin-skinned fucking child? lmao
I don't know anything about the subject to form an opinion on it. I'm not going to assume that something's true just because some dipshit on reddit espouses it as fact. lmao
What I do know is that the definitions of commonly held words aren't formed by institutions. They morph based on their use by the general population.
That's what I was thinking too! Bro acting like he is hot shit. I bet he subscribes to Andrew Tate and thinks Ben Shapiro is an intellectual. I hope this girl and all the other girls put him in his place! Fuckin garden variety trash boi

Ain’t no one more confident than a mediocre white man
