Unfortunately, that's not the message you have been sending.
Racial concern trolling is probably not going to help.
not only is it all hate speech, it is all leftist approved hate speech.
I never get tired of the ‘pointing out racism is the real racism’ argument.
I’m not concern trolling and racist publications like in the OP are boiling people down to their skin color. That’s absurd, and yes racist. It’s become much more pervasive and acceptable over the past 5-10 years to be racist so long as it’s against the right skin color. I think that’s worth discussing.
There’s another thread going on where the OP posted a story about a guy getting stabbed to point out racism. Should he not have posted that?
If you’re not concern trolling you do an extremely good impression of it. Can you point out to me a single thread you’ve posted calling out systemic discrimination against black people, Hispanics, Muslims, etc? There might be one but I can’t think of it.
Maybe if you appeared more concerned about the pervasive racism against nonwhite people in the US we would take your complaints of racism against whites more seriously?
I can start one of why black people recieve much harsher sentencing than white people for similar crimes if you’d like me to.
Is there a rule somewhere that says you have to defend others before defending yourself? You're trying to define the process and rules so that you control the narrative, I don't buy it. The charge of racism has to stand on it's own, there are no qualifiers.If you’re not concern trolling you do an extremely good impression of it.

Left-leaning advocacy groups and a host of Democrats all too often shy away from the specifics of the debate and instead lean on cries of bigotry, resorting to claims like that of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has described Trump's approach to immigration reform as an effort to "make America white again."
This dynamic played out recently at a large bakery in Chicago that supplies buns to McDonald's. Some 800 immigrant laborers, most of them from Mexico, lost their jobs last year after an audit by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Cloverhill Bakery, owned by Aryzta, a big Swiss food conglomerate, had to hire new workers, 80 percent to 90 percent of whom are African American. According to the Chicago Sun Times, the new workers are paid $14 per hour, or $4 per hour more than the (illegal) immigrant workers.
In this case, and in many others, the beneficiaries of immigration enforcement were working-class blacks, who are often passed over for jobs by unscrupulous employers.
The labor force participation rate for adult black men has declined steadily since the passage of the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which ushered in a new era of mass immigration. In 1973, the rate was 79 percent. It is now at 68 percent, and the Bureau of Labor projects that it will decline to 61 percent by 2026.
In 2016, the Obama White House produced a 48-page report acknowledging that immigration does not help the labor force participation rate of the native-born. It concluded, however, that "immigration reform would raise the overall participation rate by bringing in new workers of prime working age."
Although the report used the term "new workers," Democrats may also be tempted by the prospect of new voters. But they should be aware that in courting one group, they risk losing others.
African Americans tend to be a reliable voting bloc for the Democratic Party, but they have repeatedly indicated in public opinion surveys that they want significantly less immigration.
A recent Harvard-Harris poll found that African Americans favor reducing legal immigration more than any other demographic group: 85 percent want less than the million-plus we allow on an annual basis, and 54 percent opted for the most stringent choices offered — 250,000 immigrants per year or less, or none at all.
These attitudes are rational.
In a 2010 study on the social effects of immigration, the Cornell University professor Vernon Briggs concluded: "No racial or ethnic group has benefited less or been harmed more than the nation's African American community."
The Harvard economist George Borjas has found that, between 1980 and 2000, one-third of the decline in the employment among black male high school dropouts was attributable to immigration. He also reported "a strong correlation between immigration, black wages, black employment rates, and black incarceration rates."
In a 2014 paper on neoliberal immigration policies and their effects on African Americans, the University of Notre Dame professor Stephen Steinberg argued that, thanks to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, "African Americans found themselves in the proverbial position of being 'last hired.'" Steinberg also noted that "immigrants have been cited as proof that African Americans lack the pluck and determination that have allowed millions of immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean to pursue the American dream."
The struggles of black men obviously cannot all be linked to immigration, but it's clear that the status quo does not benefit them.
As elected leaders consider changing our immigration laws, the interests of America's most vulnerable citizens shouldn't be overlooked. The first step toward honest reform is for the Democratic Party to admit that while liberal immigration enforcement might help them win new voters, it also harms and disenfranchises their most loyal constituency.

Greatest white racism is found in our supposedly high minded white liberal elites who like to point the finger at the the KKK, confederate flag waving southern white boy but they themselves have and still institute national policies to prevent the black man they pretend to care so much about from moving up the economic ladder.
Liberals say immigration enforcement is racist, but the group most likely to benefit from it is black men

What bs. Whiteness is not a social or political construct, it’s a damned skin color. No one (except I guess Michael Jackson) in the history of the earth has been able to choose that, it depends on your parents. A skin color. Color of your skin. Insane people care about this so much.
Yeah I do want things to change. I don’t want anyone to use someone’s skin color as a factor for anything. There’s no reason.
No, it's a social construct. One that attributes a significant role to skin-color, but which isn't defined or caused by it.
Do you live entirely in your own bubble? Take a look at history and the world around you. You could start by noting how the definition of 'white' varies by era and by culture and country.
Meh, what's the use? You don't _want_ to think about the topic, because you've found it benefits you to not do so. That's how humans are, I guess. People respond to incentives.

Cool. So take judgment out of it and just realize that color of skin is something that affects how the world engages with a person.I have thought about t and provided thoughtful feedback throughout this thread, you just disagree with it. I feel like we should not judge anyone by skin color, doing so is a racist thing to do. It’s as simple as that even when you take it within the context of history.
Cool. So take judgment out of it and just realize that color of skin is something that affects how the world engages with a person.
Can you address that with your thoughtful feedback?
Oh fuck, you are dumb as shit.That engagement based on skin color exists only because you allow it too. Talk to white people like they are human rather than like they are white. Same for white to black or whatever skin color you want. Stop looking at somebody’s skin as a defining factor of them as a person. If there is a social construct it’s an arbitrary one that doesn’t have to exist.
Oh fuck, you are dumb as shit.
Because I allow it? Go fuck yourself right now, please.
Your solipsism is showing, dear.
You get what you give, dumbnuts.Thanks for your well thought reply
