I welcome this as an example to black people
A married black mother and father, holding down a household and sending their kids to school, so much better than the message black rappers and celebrities send the black youth today.
shareRemember that post where you said you weren't racist? Yeah, you might want to rethink that
shareSo positive examples for communities plagued by single parent households, gangs and incarceration makes me a racist?
shareYou including race in your comment makes you racist.
shareIgnore listed.
shareHe celebrated a positive portrayal of a racial demographic, and denounced negative and harmful messages and portrayals of that same demographic.
shareSaying anything negative at all about a "special group" is considered hate speech, racism and such, nowadays.
One interesting consequence is that the western black community has been culturally declining since the 60s. Competing with north-European whites used to be tough (before Wokeness), and that was a big incentive to become a better community. That was before the "Gosh, I'm a victiiiim" card entered the game in the 70s, and the rest is history. The path to hell is paved with good intentions, but it still leads to hell.
He didnt say anything negative though ,
He said the message that "black rappers and celebrities send the black youth today. " is negative.
and implied that was a bad thing
"north-European whites"
Just say aryans you fucking coward. And just say you want segregation back. Since the 60s lol. You're so pathetically dishonest about your true beliefs
Just shut your racist behind up please. You don't know a damn thing about black people or our lives. So just shut the hell up commenting on anything to do with us. Nobody asked your backward, ignorant, outdated, just plain stupid white supremacist opinion---especially about a program you're obviously never seen.
shareFUCK
That is a high fucking bar to clear.
WOW LOL
DAYUM
And another example of an accusation that has no sting anymore due to overuse by windowlickers. LMFAO if that is what makes someone racist then I suppose I'm racist. Who tf cares? Now what? If racism is as meaningless as your example then it's obviously not a real problem anymore is it.
shareMy comment is based on other comments made by the OP declaring that he isn't racist, while making micro aggressions which say differently. Making this comment that he, the OP, who has declared that he is NOT black, welcoming it as an example to black people is racist.
If they had just said that this was an example for the modern family, that's not racist. ItalianBuju has listed some examples in the next comment that just show that Intothenight is incorrect with his assumptions which he has based on the colour of someone's skin. How is that not racist?
If the "aggressions" are micro then so are the consequences.
shareYeah, isn't calling someone out on their racism a micro consequence?
shareYou still haven't proven racism unless you think accusations are the same thing, you child molester.
shareWe haven't mentioned children at all so that really does not equate to this conversation at all. Nice try though. The subject line mentions black people specifically, implying that black people in general do not have exemplary families. How is that not racist? It is showing a bias against one group of people based on the colour of their skin and completely ignoring socio economic barriers which may lead to some of the other examples the OP has listed exist in communities other than just the black community.
While it may not be on the level of 'KKK lynching' racism, it is racism none the less.
What is it about the original post that you find racist?
The author wrote, "a married black mother and father, holding down a household and sending their kids to school, so much better than the message black rappers and celebrities send the black youth today."
I don't see any aspect of that phrase that is racist. The author is making a statement that the message of this TV show is a positive one, as opposed to the mostly negative messages he sees being expressed by most black celebrities.
If you think there are plenty of positive role models to be found among black celebrities, then you may disagree that the TV show has a better message than most being shared, but simply stating that the show has a positive message which contrasts with what most celebrities are currently offering isn't even remotely racist. It's almost certainly true, but if it isn't, then it's simply an inaccurate assessment of modern pop culture.
What is racist about the post is that Intothenight has already declared himself as not black. For him, as a Japanese/Australian/American and whatever else he claims to be these days, who just had a post claiming that he wasn't racist, to welcome something for a people that he is not a part of as a good example is racist. To imply that only black people should find this as a good example is racist. To imply that black celebrities are the ones spreading a bad message is racist. Sure, some of the rap might not be sending the right message to youth, but to imply that it is blacks that are the ones sending that message while ignoring everyone else is racist.
For this not to be a racist comment it should read;
I welcome this as an example for people today.
A married mother and father, holding down a household and sending their kids to school, so much better than the message that many in the music industry and other celebrities send the youth today.
Because he isn't black, he is a racist if he comments on the actions of black people? I don't believe that to be the case at all.
He's offering an opinion about a show with a primarily black cast, aimed primarily at a black audience, that offers a message that is very different from the messages being given to that same audience by the vast majority of black celebrities. He doesn't need to be black to point out that it's a refreshing change to see a positive message being aimed at the black community, and he's not racist for pointing it out.
Really? Which black celebrities are you referring to that are offering a bad example more than other celebrities?
What about shows like The Proud Family, Smart Guy (sure single father but he was widowed), Family Matters, both Hangin with Mr Cooper and The Steve Harvey show had leads who were teachers, Roc, 227, Everybody Hates Chris, A Different World, The Cosby Show , and The Fresh Prince all had positive messages. So I'm not sure that it's such a refreshing change.
I feel ya sslssg.
Its racist and highly moralist too.
Did the OP make the case that there had never been a positive black role model, or a TV show that portrayed positive family values in a black family? The point being made is that *most* of what black Americans are exposed to in pop culture and the mainstream media is negative, so shows, like the ones you mentioned, are a welcome change from the norm.
That you had to go back 37 years just to compile a list of 11 TV shows that fit your description ought to tell you how few and far between such shows are. Now list 11 rappers who top the charts while offering a sane worldview, or 11 prominent athletes who live lives worth emulating...
How many sit coms do you consider to be good examples for white people? I also think that it might just be a comment on how few shows there have been that represent non whites that I had to go back so many years, and not that all the others have been poor influences.
Rap? Probably not because that is the culture of it no matter what your colour is. The fact that you consider all blacks to be ingrained in rap and gangster culture is a racist comment. Gangs are not just a black problem. The problem lies more with socio economic issues, as well as gentrification. But it appears to be much easier to just blame it on the colour of ones skin.
Some positive influences of black celebrities and athletes are
Calais Campbell
LeBron James
Chance the Rapper
Usher
John Legend
Little Nas X
Denzel Washington
Angela James
Sha'Carri Richardson (even with the pot thing, she's still a symbol of success and it's not like the Canadian snowboarding team didn't have issues with pot in the olympics as well)
Simone Biles
Serena Williams
Fred VanVleet
Chuck D
Samuel L. Jackson
Will Smith
There are a lot more, but I think this should illustrate the point that a person can find good role models if they are looking for them. The same as seeing poor role models. There are many, many shitty non black celebs out there too. Making it about race contributes to racism.
Sure thing chomo
shareI wonder whose sock you are?
shareStay away from those playgrounds now freak
shareI have not insulted you. We have a difference of opinion and your response is to call me a child molester on a thread which has nothing to do children? Really?
shareYour baseless accusations of racism insult me whoever they are aimed at. Intothenight did not insult you and had a difference of opinion yet you seem to think you have carte blanche to accuse people as you like. Suddenly you don't like those rules chomo.
shareI've read through some of your posts. You might want to look in the mirror when it comes to your opinions on race as well.
If you cannot see where intothenight's comments are racist, well then I don't know what to say to you. When something is made about race, it is based in racism. I don't care who you are. We all have made racist comments in our lives, as we all have biases. It's learning to recognize when we make those comments that turns us from being a racist, to having a lapse in judgement. Your response to me in accusing me of child molestation is really sick, immature, and also shows me that you have no valid response to anything that I have said.
Oh boohoo the chomo doesn't like being called a chomo, why don't you go and have the big cry about it?
BTW I am using the same standard of evidence that you do when you call people racist ie fuck all standards.
To quote you "White supremacist" just means "productive member of society" at this point, the accusation has lost all of it's former sting thanks to windowlickers like you.
LMAO at all the black fragility posts ITT
Also, on a Bill Cosby thread about giving Quaaludes to underage girls you said So you agree there was no real proof then
And then you have the nerve to call me a child molester? I think you are just projecting at this point.
I think I don't care if your feelings are hurt chomo and if you think quoting me counts as any kind of argument you're even more retarded than I thought. I know what I said, I made the posts. It's not a secret. I don't care if fragile black people had their booty blasted. And if you have evidence of Cosby drugging underage girls then present it or GTFO
shareOh my feelings are not hurt.
I'm just letting you show what sort of person you are.
[deleted]
I'm not the kind of person who needs to cherry pick quotes to "win" an argument on the internet.
"White supremacist" just means "productive member of society" at this point, the accusation has lost all of it's former sting thanks to windowlickers like you. Going to your job on time is "white supremacy", having a 2 parent household is "white supremacy", the news sharing an article about a missing social media vanlifer is "white supremacy"
edit due to my spanky mouse click
shareFucking liberals and their "micro aggressions". Bunch of fuckin' pansies.
