They are not accepted widely. They will of course be accepted by “The Root” magazine and such.
I was in college just about 8 years ago. I don’t recall this being taught. I think they were still teaching the whole treating someone different because of race definition.
I think even if this definition gets more popular, most will reject it.
I am skeptical of the idea that a country with a lot of white people in it is going to accept that only white people can be racist. I haven’t seen it in the real world, and I don’t think anyone on these threads thinks it is true.
You Italians claiming not to be white… Someone told me a bad joke about guys like you: How do you make a wop? Take a piece of white bread in each hand and slap them together - WOP!
I could try to pull the same shit and quote Jean-Jacques Dessalines saying that Polish people are the white negroes of eastern Europe.
These are just opinions. I read this stuff for a chuckle. I am also someone who is fairly liberal. Someone can say all white people are racists, but most people realize that this is just silly.
Of course, the historical, political and geographical context are vastly different. However, their words are exaclty the same.
They’re simply replaced the word bourgeoisie with “white” and added “black” before nouns. They’re Marxists.
Will you see reeducation camps in the US? No. But there will be collateral damage - people will be losing - mostly white collar and academia - jobs and careers over an offhand remark or a Facebook post from a decade ago.
Public discourse will become even more stilted, as even workplace banter among colleagues could be scrutinized by the wokists. When speaking with friends, people will be desperately looking for the miniscule changes in tone and nuance to discern whether their interlocutor really believes the torturous, clumsy, bullshit phrases about allies, microaggressions and “silence in violence”
No you can’t without public self-flagellation, aka Party self-critique.
You’re still upset how the evil Northerners cut down your olive trees?
Well I just waisted about 20 minutes reading the medium article you posted “Yes, All White People Are Racist”. It was difficult to find a single sentence in that article that didn’t contain fallacious reasoning. I don’t think it requires an IQ of 145 to spot how ridiculous (and racist and immoral) those claims were.
I think when little Johnny comes home and says what he learned about himself and his parents, that many of those parents are going to be having a word with the school district.
Natuarally. Those who grew up with Communist\ Socialist Authoritarianism are more likely to recognize it when it comes. Which is what this is. Hence they said ‘Fuck no!’.
It’s not about race and never was. This is about power and useful idiots who will help certain people gain and retain that power. It has nothing to do with fairness or racism, or anything beneficial.
My fear is too few people will see it too late.
