What is racism?

[Mr H]

Might seem like a really dumb question, but what really is racism?

 

The dictionary definition is....

 

 

1. characterized by or showing prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.

   "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse"

 

In my own experience, I have never actually met anyone who hated someone specifically because of a race or ethnicity.

 

The reason for hatred is because it is believed that certain types of people are doing certain criminal activities. Now often this is based on false information. But whether it is true or not, from what I can see, what they call racism, is a hatred towards criminals not race or ethnicity. The race part is more like secondary consequence, not the direct cause of any hatred.

 

But I dunno.

 

What actually is racism

[Grumpy Grapes]

It doesn't have to be hatred; it could be fear or mistrust. 

 

I think a lot of prejudice stems from genes and evolution, and is either enhanced or suppressed by 'culture' and 'environment'. 

 

White racism could, I theorise, be due to inherited neanderthal genes created when light skinned neanderthals were persecuted by dark skinned homo sapiens, creating emotions that became genetically encoded as a survival response.

Interesting points. 

 Especially about evolution and old times.

 

I tried to imagine myself as caveman. I think you would be scared to see someone completely different looking to you or family show up. I.e. if they were larger than you or had different skin color. Seems to be comfort in "family" I guess and fear of unknown.

[Observations]

Mr H, thank you for discussing this subject. I often wonder when this ‘racism’ term was even created?
 

I know that it was noticeably introduced a ‘few’ years ago, at first tentatively. And now at full speed, where you are not allowed to have a discussion without being interrupted to have the ‘agenda’ forced down your throat. And diverting and deleting any other threads of conversation.

 

There is no alternative apparently? It is limiting and inhumane. In the name of good as always? 

 

I noticed in the ‘beginning’ that this ‘racism’ was ‘made up’ for a reason. And it’s introduced by force, and yet people think it’s their own idea?! 

 

It seems we are not allowed to generalise for better OR worse. We’re not allowed to appreciate characteristics of different cultures. We all have to be the same. Globalists I suppose? We’re not allowed to have an opinion. We have to self censor. And we have to be ready to correct everyone else and keep them in line. 
 

( Just repeat “racism is bad”, and stop questioning please!! )

I think the dictionary definition is correct, it's how I view racists. 

 

Growing up in the 70's I thought we were done with it. A few friends parents still held old views but most kids at school did not think that way.

 

However I have met people who are classically, as the dictionary definition states, prejudice purely based on the colour of a person's skin and not the person inside.

 

Stereotyping is something else that often passes for Racism these days, but it isn't always based on a racial prejudice, just a racial Stereotyping. 

 

To me there's a difference, I would like to say I don't stereotype but I do. If I meet someone whom I think is a narcissist, after I walk away I classify them as such in my head despite only meeting them for a short duration. That's stereotyping, and to make a statement or judgement based on a racial stereotype, to me, is not true racism, it's just stereotyping. 

 

We English drink a lot of tea.

 

Is that statement racist?

It's neither, it just means you drink a lot of tea. The problem is that people read into things that just aren't there,and you compound that with the media telling a certain group how badly they have been treated by another group the victim mentality seems to worm it's way into their train of thought and with that a festering hatred for the perceived oppressors,even if events happened hundreds of years ago. It would not be a stretch to say if you went back far enough everyone's family or group would have been fucked over by another family or group and my attitude is so what ,that was then ,this is now. Unfortunately the racial divide in this country is a multi million dollar business and as such the status quo wont change until the I'm a victim and you owe me attitude with all it's conitations  is replaced with a more positive outlook

Couple questions.

 

Was racism worse in the 1970s?

 

Good point about stereotype vs racism. 

 

Would you say , making statements like Muslims are terrorists or Jews are tight with money is racist or stereotype?

I was only a child so I wasn't really aware of society, but there was no racism in our family.

 

We got walked to Primary school by a black kid from the council estate up the road. If my parents were racist I don't think they would have let that happen.

Stereotype. If it's motivated by hate, it stems from racism, if it's just a passing comment or joke it's stereotype, not necessarily accurate and should not be taken seriously. 

 

I haven't drunk a cup of Tea in over 10 years.

 

Are the Scottish actually tight fisted?

 

If we made a similar statement about an ethnic race, we would be called racist. But as an English man talking about a Scottish person, both White, it can't really be viewed as racism, more stereotype, it can be said in a derogatory manner or as a joke to a Scottish friend. 

 

On the face of it  it's derogatory and as its one national talking about another nation, could be viewed as racism.

 

If I said the French are this and that, I would be told it's racism, even though we're the same race.

 

If a black person of British heritage said Scottish people are tight, would that then be racist?

 

If yes, is that because the black English man is not white?

 

Well that would be racist to say - we can say it, but he can't. 

 

Was he being racist or just joining in with a national joke.

 

I think a lot of stuff passes for racism these days when in fact it not.

 

The woman who got the Royal aide sacked because she asked where she came from, and didn't understand she was born and raised in Peckham because she'd changed her name to an African name and wore traditional African dresses. 

 

The old woman was confused, she obviously thought the young lady had come from abroad.

 

The young lady said its racist that the aide kept asking where she really came from and wouldn't accept her answer.

 

I say the old woman was confused, misunderstood, thought she was talking to someone from abroad because of the name and dress the young lady was wearing. 

 

I think the woman was given an English sounding name by her parents so she got accepted more easily growing up.

 

The lady decided to change her name to an African sounding one and wear traditional dresses to make herself seem more African, but if you mistake her for a person from Africa and not a British citizen, your racist.

 

There are Transgenders out there if you don't accept them at face value and take a hint from the name they use and the women's dresses they wear to signal they want to be thought of as a woman and treat them accordingly, will report you to Police as a Hate Crime, someone tried to do that to JK Rowling.

 

Yet this young lady wants to assume a traditional African name, wear traditional African dresses, but if you think she's African, your racist.

 

Well that was a ramble.

What actually is racism

 

 

A late reply but it's been cooking awhile.  I disagree with this dictionary definition, for me racism is just race + ism. The theory or school of thought of race, and a racist is someone who believes in, or is engaged in, the discussion about race. Rather like Buddhism is the philosophy created by the Buddha, and a Buddhist is someone who follows Buddhism. 

Race is part of human identity, and fits into our overall identity in a kind of Venn diagram of circles within circles.  I'll summarise it as something approximately like: 

 

Individual >> close family >> extended family >> village or local community >> tribe >>  confederation >> nation >> race >> species >> genus (biology) >> family (biology)  etc 

 

Most of what is demonised as "racism" in our NWO society is imo people having a group preference for their own self-identity group, and in most cases that's acceptable apart from race.  For example if you look up "tribalism" in the dictionary, the definition is like : 

 

"tribalism 

The condition of being tribal.
A feeling of identity and loyalty to one's tribe."   [Wiktionary] 

 

I.e. not at all negative or hateful. Why should the racial identity and loyalty be demonised by the ptb but not say, loyalty to your family or village community?  The English term “racism” goes back to a 1902 speech by the American Colonel Richard Henry Pratt, but I think it comes from French a bit earlier.   

 

If there is any racism based on hatred, I think that if you scratch beneath the skin, you find fear of one's race being threatened in some way rather than genuine hatred or supremacy which imo is very rare.

Yeah, good point. We have things inverted here where the actual race-haters are masked as anti-racists. It comes after a long time of cultural Marxist re-education about British history to undermine the ordinary folks and create phoney white guilt. It's way off balance compared to more normal societies where people try to protect and sustain themselves.

The Myth of Reverse Racism

“The ‘reverse racism’ card is often pulled by white people when people of color call out racism and discrimination, or create spaces for themselves … that white people aren’t a part of. The impulse behind the reverse racism argument seems to be a desire to prove that people of color don’t have it that bad, they’re not the only ones that are put at a disadvantage or targeted because of their race. It’s like the Racism Olympics. And it’s patently untrue” (Blay, 2015).

 

REVERSE RACISM IS A MYTH 
     While assumptions and stereotypes about white people do exist, this is considered racial prejudice, not racism. Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions derived from perceptions about race and/or skin colour. Thus, racial prejudice can indeed be directed at white people (e.g., “White people can’t dance”) but is not considered racism because of the systemic relationship to power. When backed with power, prejudice results in acts of discrimination and oppression against groups or individuals. In Canada, white people hold this cultural power due to Eurocentric modes of thinking, rooted in colonialism, that continue to reproduce and privilege whiteness. It is whiteness that has the power to define the terms of racialized others’ existence.

I've emailed and asked them to defend this position, I asked if I went to live in Africa and an African made a racially prejudice remarks towards me, would it then be racism, as white people don't hold power there and also, if an ethnic minority came to power in UK, would they then automatically become racists and not just prejudice because they now hold power.

 

So ethnic people are currently not technically racist, because they don't hold power, but should they gain power, they would automatically qualify as racist and all their 'ethnic prejudices ' - white men can't dance, automatically become racist.

 

So ethnic people are only not racist on a mere technicality, that dissolves if they ever achieve power?

 (My bold) 

Indeed, South Africa being a good case in point, and also all 3 countries of the UK have had non-white prime ministers in the last few years. Do they then automatically become racists rather than just prejudiced? After all, everyone has "unconscious bias" according to the woke theory. Not to mention large parts of the world like China.

Geology is racist, claims university professor

BY FREDERICK ATTENBOROUGH
NOVEMBER 17, 2024

 

The study of the Earth’s rocks and natural resources is racist and linked to “white supremacy”, according to a geography professor at a leading UK university, reports the Telegraph.

 

Kathryn Yusoff, an academic at Queen Mary University of London, said the hard science subject of geology was “riven by systemic racism” and colonialism.

 

She also suggested palaeontology, the study of prehistoric life through fossils, was partly to blame for racism, labelling it “pale-ontology”.

 

In her book, Geologic Life, the professor argued the extraction of gold, iron, and other metals was racist. She wrote that geology began as a “colonial practice” that created hierarchies, promoted materialism, destroyed environments and led to climate change. The Telegraph report continues:

 

The theft of land, mining and other geological aspects of colonialism led “toward the white supremacy of the planet” and resulted in “geotrauma”, Prof Yusoff wrote. She also claimed “geology continues to function within a white supremacist praxis”.

 

Demands to decolonise courses, led by activist students and lecturers, have spread across UK universities, backed by official bodies such as the Quality Assurance Agency for higher education.

 

The agenda began in social sciences and humanities and is now being applied to hard science and maths subjects. It uses critical race theory to support the view that the knowledge studied in universities is male and white and has been used to attain and perpetuate Western global domination through racism and injustice.

 

Prof Yousoff’s book focused on geology from the 17th to the 19th century. She argued that non-white people have a closer relationship to the land than white people.

“Broadly, black, brown, and indigenous subjects… have an intimacy with the earth that is unknown to the structural position of whiteness,” she wrote.

 

Prof Yousoff described herself on the Queen Mary website as a professor of “inhuman geography”.

Critics last night slammed the decolonisation agenda as “anti-scientific” and said the “exploitation” of the land was almost as old as mankind itself, and not race-dependent.

 

Dr John Armstrong, a reader in financial mathematics at King’s College London, said: “The programme of decolonisation is politically contentious, anti-scientific, and consistently associated with calls to lower academic standards.

 

“Many university departments have resisted the pressure to dumb-down and politicise their courses, but university leaders and their equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) teams continue to demand that courses are decolonised.”

 

Chris McGovan, the chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “Geology is no more racist than ‘fish ’n’ chips’! It is an entirely neutral term. Those seeking to decolonise the curriculum are, in fact, building their own sinister empire of thought-control and intolerance.

 

“Applied to exploitation it involves mining and this is almost as old as mankind and not race-dependent, as tourists are reminded when they visit our prehistoric flint mines such as Grime’s Graves, the English Heritage site in Norfolk.”

REVERSE RACISM IS A MYTH 

While assumptions and stereotypes about white people do exist, this is considered racial prejudice, not racism. Racial prejudice refers to a set of discriminatory or derogatory attitudes based on assumptions derived from perceptions about race and/or skin colour. Thus, racial prejudice can indeed be directed at white people (e.g., “White people can’t dance”) but is not considered racism because of the systemic relationship to power. When backed with power, prejudice results in acts of discrimination and oppression against groups or individuals. In Canada, white people hold this cultural power due to Eurocentric modes of thinking, rooted in colonialism, that continue to reproduce and privilege whiteness. It is whiteness that has the power to define the terms of racialized others’ existence.

 

Tim Wise explains how, for white individuals,

 

“When a group of people [such as racialized individuals] has little or no power over you institutionally, they don’t get to define the terms of your existence, they can’t limit your opportunities, and you needn’t worry much about the use of a slur to describe you and yours, since, in all likelihood, the slur is as far as it’s going to go. What are they going to do next: deny you a bank loan?

 

Yeah, right. … White perceptions are what end up counting in a white-dominated society. If whites say [Indigenous people] are savages (be they of the “noble” or vicious type), then by God, they’ll be seen as savages. If [Indigenous people] say whites are mayonnaise-eating Amway salespeople, who the hell is going to care? If anything, whites will simply turn it into a marketing opportunity. When you have the power, you can afford to be self-deprecating, after all” (2002). 

 

Ricky Sherover-Marcuse asserts that "we should not confuse the occasional mistreatment experienced by whites at the hands of people of color with the systematic and institutionalized mistreatment experienced by people of color at the hands of whites” (p. 2). While expressions of racial prejudice directed at white people may hurt the white person/people individually or personally, and are never to be condoned, they do not have the power or authority to affect the white person's social/economic/political location and privileges. 

 

“Racism has nothing to do with feelings. It is a measurable reality that white people are not subject to, regardless of their income or status” (Harriot, 2018).

 

Reverse racism is a myth because it attempts to ignore the power/privilege dynamic between the individuals/groups involved; the myth of reverse racism assumes that racism occurs on a so-called level playing field, when in actuality, it does not. One claim of “reverse racism” that is often made is in relation to affirmative actions programs: programs that were created to help ensure that non-white individuals are given equal consideration and opportunities, whether it is in regards to employment, school, or scholarships etc. For white individuals, programs such as this might feel like something is being “taken away.” Zeba Blay outlines how white people often "believe deserving white students are discriminated against while academically unqualified students are given highly coveted college or company positions ― just because they happen to tick the ‘ethnic minority’ box. This argument ignores the fact that affirmative action did not come out of nowhere ― there was a need for a system that would address the decades of underrepresentation of people of color both academically and in the job world.” Sherover-Marcuse explains how "[a]ffirmative action programs are attempts to repair the results of institutionalized racism by setting guidelines and establishing procedures for finding qualified applicants from all segments of the population” (p. 2). In other words, these programs do not privilege people of colour but are an attempt to “level” the not-so-level playing field that has historically privileged a certain type of candidate.

Racism is when “white people hold negative views” of others, claims senior Labour adviser

BY FREDERICK ATTENBOROUGH
OCTOBER 28, 2024

 

key adviser in the Labour mission to make Wales “anti-racist” has claimed that racism is when “white people hold negative views” of other ethnicities (Telegraph).

‘Anti-racism’ is the Critical Race Theory-inspired idea that it isn’t enough for white people to not be racist, and that they must instead be actively ‘anti-racist’; that is, rooting out unconscious racial bias in themselves and other white folk, and reinterpreting their supposedly hard-won individual achievements and successes in light of the ‘white privilege’ that centuries of colonial brutality and exploitation has afforded them.

 

The devolved Government has pledged to make Wales anti-racist by 2030, with public bodies – including libraries, galleries, museums – now obliged to present the “right historic narrative” in their displays.

 

Taxpayer’s money will fund work which ensures the mandated narrative, and cash has gone to the “Re:Collections” project, which takes a leading role in this work by instructing Welsh museums on how to become “anti-racist organisations”.

The project has provided a “resource” which sets out a definition of racism.

Written by Maya Sharma, a “strategic adviser” for the programme, it claims that: “Racism is, fundamentally, the belief that white people and their ways of thinking, culture, political systems and histories are superior to that of other ‘races’.”

 

She has claimed in a set of resources for the Re:Collections project to make Welsh museums anti-racist that racism as a whole is based on a power imbalance, wherein “white people, institutes and nations hold far larger amounts of power”.

 

The overview of what racism is, and how to mitigate it in the museum sector, makes it clear that there are both “interpersonal” and “institutional” variants of racism.

“Most commonly recognised is interpersonal racism,” the document explains. This is where “white people hold negative, stereotypical or discriminatory beliefs about people from other ethnicities”.

Unconscious bias is “a less overt aspect of interpersonal racism”, but still results in racist actions “where we act or make judgements based on our subconscious and ingrained biases, assumptions or interpretations”.

 

Microaggressions are another “common form of interpersonal racism” mentioned in the guide. These are acts or interactions that to some appear innocuous or well meaning “but embody racism in seemingly subtle ways”. Examples cited include: “repeatedly mispronouncing someone’s name despite correction, or telling a person of colour wearing non-western clothes they look ‘exotic’”.

Sharma goes on to define institutional racism as “an institution having policies and practices that work better for white people”.

The writings are presented online as a resource which curators can use to help their work in making museums anti-racist, whether based in Wales or not.

 

It states that diverse histories can be relevant to many communities, and “a country often thought of as ‘white’ both in terms of its history and population, has a wealth of fascinating international stories to tell”.

 

Sharma works with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Education Trust in Manchester, which focuses on the study of race and anti-racist activism and has worked with the Re:Collections project.

 

The Re:Collections project was launched by the Association of Independent Museums in 2022 to help Welsh attractions meet the demands of the Government’s Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan (‘Action Plan’).

 

Announced in 2022 by the then Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, Dawn Boden, the Action Plan was proposed in response to Black Lives Matter protests. It formed part of a £4.5 million drive to ensure councils promote a “decolonised account of the past, one that recognises both historical injustices and the positive impact of ethnic minority communities”.

 

Re:Collections, which aims to provide “bespoke consultancy” on making museums anti-racist, has received government funding to support projects which transform cultural attractions, altering how history is presented to it into alignment with the propositions of radical identity politics.

 

With little more than five years to go until the Welsh Government’s Year Zero date, the pace of the Welsh cultural revolution is starting to accelerate.

 

Amgueddfa Lloyd George Museum in Llanystumdwy, which describes itself as “dedicated to the life and times of David Lloyd George”, recently consulted with Re:Collections on how to “decolonise” the former prime minister’s childhood cottage. According to the museums service for Plaid Cymru-run Gwynedd council, which operates the site, this project involved staff undergoing taxpayer funded “anti-racist” training.

 

Thanks to proposals that form part of a wider £135,000 grant drawn down from the Action Plan’s funding stream, a project called ‘Anti-Racist Library Collections’ has begun instructing Welsh librarians on how to align with “anti-racist principles” via new staff training sessions on “critical whiteness studies” and overcoming the “dominant paradigm of whiteness”.

 

Earlier this year, it emerged that “decolonisation training experts” tasked with delivering this project have stipulated that training sessions for library staff should not take place in buildings with a “racist” past.

 

Helpfully for Welsh librarians, the Action Plan has already yielded a user-friendly blacklist of buildings in the country likely to be thick with the sort of spectral miasma of toxic whiteness that anti-racism trainers would no doubt wish to avoid.

In it 2021 report, The Slave Trade and the British Empire: An Audit of Commemoration in Wales, the devolved government scrutinised a total of 57 monuments. 93 public buildings and places, and 442 street names for their linguistic connections to 203 famous British historical figures with alleged links to the British Empire, the African slave trade and/or colonialism more generally.

I was called a racist and far right all the time because I spoke out against the vaccine and lockdowns .

 

The anti lockdown march and demonstrations were the most dangerous for the establishment because it united so many different people from all cultures.

British people in South Africa were/ are termed as 'Rooineks' by the Afrikaaners/Boers. We in turn called them 'Rock Spiders'. All in good banter generally. Now, it's common knowledge that the Boers/Dutch Afrikaaners are huge, and are quick to 'klaap'(flat hand your ear) you if you piss them off. 

 

In Australia, Rock Spider means something totally different, and is slang for paedophile, (alludes to the nursey rhyme incey spider)!

By the mid/late 90's, with South Africa coming out of the Apartheid/ isolation, if you were unfortunate enough to be still calling them Rock Spiders, how was your stay in ICU?
