Whites Can't Even Count (1919 Came Before "The 60s")

Wear the "wrong" pants and blacks deserve whatever whites do

Racist white's oppressive focus on the blacks they've made poor - and not white's own racist behavior - began long before LBJ:

During the Reconstruction era some Black Americans believed that the solution to social uplift was not in social reform but in individual moral behavior. Behind the idea was the concept that discrimination and systematic oppression took place because Whites did not respect Blacks. However, the theory went that if Blacks changed their behavior, fashion, and even music, Whites would begin to respect them and therefore treat them as deserving of dignity. 

Politics of respectability was,...an ideology, targeted towards poor Blacks, urging them to get on board with behavior that Whites deemed respectable, as a necessary and sufficient condition of racial uplift,…The Chicago Defender posted weekly reminders targeting poor Black Chicago migrants, admonishing them against vulgar language and ragged clothes. Avoiding these things, the newspaper argues in a May 17, 1919 issue, "will disarm those who are endeavoring to discredit the race." 

Instead of moral excellence being a possibility for us all, politics of respectability places the burden of virtue on the oppressed and lets the oppressor off the hook. Instead of challenging the oppressor to be fair, loving, or unconditionally compassionate, they demand that the oppressed "pull up their pants," "don't wear hoodies," "remain chaste," and "don't be lazy" -- while simultaneously excusing the unethical acts of the oppressor towards them.

We must still be in the Reconstruction Era

Whites in blackface just like always - but in 2014

Blacks seem to change much easier than whites - why is that?

When racist whites focus, on what racist whites do, then racist whites might become respectable themselves,...

This is how a white person looks "thinking about race"

ADDED:

History has shown that 'acting better' does not bring about being 'treated better.' We must remember that four girls were in Sunday school when their Birmingham church was bombed. Amadou Diallo did not commit any crime, obeyed the police, but yet was shot 41 times by the police. We can count numerous times in which women were raped not because they wore short skirts or were intoxicated but simply because they were women. This is why in "A Case For Reparations", Ta-Nehisi Coates claims: 

The kind of trenchant racism to which black people have persistently been subjected can never be defeated by making its victims more respectable. The essence of American racism [or any hatred for that matter] is disrespect. 

Moreover, respectability politics is not a philosophy where we value morality for morality sake but it is used as a means to achieve respect from Whites and men: a goal that may never be achieved.

Thank You, White People, For Destroying Life As U.S. Blacks Know It Just For Your Own Twisted Amusement

No matter how many times they're told - and it's been a lot - they just can't seem to help themselves:

In case anyone needs a working definition of "white supremacy" or "racism" at this late date in time,...

Colorless White People Are Still Dressing In Blackface

Like Ann Althouse, not being able to accurately smell or taste (but still convincing herself she's really on top of interpreting things) whites try to make up for their deficiencies somehow,...

 

Being Black Is A Whole Lot Like Being Divorced: You're Always Learning Stuff You Didn't Want To Know Existed

"Higher Education is Not Ensuring Black Men Get A Good Job"

"Sen. Rand Paul: 
Extending unemployment benefits is a 'disservice' to black workers"

"This Nova Scotian Politician Didn’t Realize Blackface is Offensive"

"'A nigger is a nigger and a Swede is a Swede'. Sweden’s main gov party stated its position on Mandela’s struggle against apartheid"

"How many of our presidents owned slaves? 

There are two ways of interpreting your question. Either: How many presidents owned slaves at some point in their lives? Or: How many presidents owned slaves while serving as chief executive? Many books get the answers to these questions wrong, and when I speak on the presidents and ask these two questions, audiences invariably low-ball the answer to both.



It comes as a shock to most Americans’ sensibilities that more than one in four U.S. presidents were slaveholder,..."

The Non-Racists Simply Can't Stop Themselves From It

ELLE France's beauty editor, Jeanne Deroo, who is French (the folks who want you to know, despite their disgusting history, are not racist) "honoring" a black person (non-racially) because (after France's long, evil, and bloody racial history) she didn't know she was doing wrong - until someone black told her. I'm surprised she listened then. 

That's how things "work" in totally non-racial environments non-racial blacks (try to) maneuver non-racially - otherwise, they're out of the non-racial jobs the non-racists, like Jeanne Deroo, hold over their trying-to-be-non-racial heads - which is as fair and non-racial as it gets.

BTW - Jeanne Deroo will apologize (has apologized) and the controversy's all over, for her, now.

That's totally fair - by NewAge standards - and completely non-racial,...
