Advice to white people during this momentous time in our history

[FunkyZero]

How can a grown adult not be pi**sed off with some pompous POS telling them how to behave?
Maybe I should write up a tweet explaining to this person how to talk to adults without getting kicked in the teeth?

Advice to white people during this momentous time in our history
Last edited Wed Jul 24, 2024, 01:23 PM - Edit history (2)

I read this thread and thought it well worth sharing here on DU.

Those of us who are white Harris supporters need to be aware of our own potential cultural/racial blinders, and respect the tremendous energy and leadership of the African-American community in this election cycle.

EDIT: The post below gives a fairly innocuous example of a potential blindspot. Did you know about the role of black sororities/fraternities in Harris's campaign? The marching videos that we all enjoy? I didn't. We are being exposed to new stuff. It's interesting.

This is to say, the Harris campaign is an amazing cultural phenomenon. This is a time to for us to observe and learn.

Whites form the dominant support for TFG, so we are not viewed as the most trustworthy allies. We need to earn that trust by supporting the campaign with all our might, and doing the work in our own communities to try to turn the 50% of whites still supporting TFG.

EHEM:
Dear DUmmie... both you and the (white) arrogant POS who posted this tweet can go fall off of a cliff.
And tell me, what kind of defect would want to dress in pink, green, pearls and ivy, and then start waving weird hand gestures? Who the hell even cares about "black greek culture"? Nobody, that's who.
Lefty thinks this is some sort of federally protected species and we could end them all if we tread in some self-appropriated turf. Are black folks REALLY that fragile? Nope, they aren't. So shut up.
I don't care about "black greek culture, and it's not on my radar. But what IS on my radar is a condescending, arrogant (and again, WHITE) lefty trying talk down to other adults like they are children.
And another thing, you DUmmies DO realize that this post was just another "I'm more woke than you" signal, right?
Seriously, you types can't go extinct fast enough so get started already, would ya?

Translation: "We're better than you and we know better than you, so shut up and fall in line or you'll be 'cancelled' or worse. Insincerely, the 'tolerant' left."

Hey DUmmy. How about a nice bucket full of "Shut The **** Up."

[SVPete]

Translation: Wypipo who dare criticize or question Kammie will be labelled RACISTS!!!!!

Really, what is so "momentous" about this? We've had a black president, so you can't do the whole "FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT!!!@1" this time. We've had a female candidate, who thankfully lost. She is also the most unqualified and radical candidate ever, and that's saying something considering we've just had Biden for four years.

So, don't try that RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACISM tripe again (who am I kidding, you will. That's all you loons have). You will find that a lot fewer people will buy it this time around.

[Old n Grumpy]

So is this aka all black, segregated? Are you sure it doesn’t stand for the African klan assn?

Personally I couldn’t give 2 shits about some fraternity / sorority most of the members are spoiled children who are students.

You are a brainwashed twit for even posting crap like that. All you are doing is virtue signaling and driving more wedges into race relations.

For the next 102 days, the leftist media will continue to parrot the "if you don't vote for Kamala, you ARE misogynistic and racist!!!". I'm ready for that ridiculous ad hominem and fart in their general direction, especially since I've voted for females and Blacks in my 30+ years of being able to vote.

Yes, Chicago in August is going to be fuuuun. We have similar circumstances as in 1968. Will it be a repeat of back then? Maybe. Maybe even worse considering just how filled with hate they are compared to 56 years ago.

Well said all the way!
Nobody actually cares about "Black greek culture" (btw, that very phrase sounds like that dreaded "cultural appropriation" to me) other than those who are actually, personally a part of it.
I never cared about fraternity or sorority culture of any sort (Other than being a fan of the movie 'Animal House,' of course). When I was in college, the head of the local fraternity approached me once with the offer to join. His presentation set off a couple red flags, so I politely avoided him from then on. That proved to be a wise decision, as the frat in question was forcibly disbanded less than a year later when details of a highly inappropriate hazing ritual came to light, so had I joined them, my reputation would have been damaged along with theirs when that happened.
So, yeah, that whole spiel was just a pretentious white virtue- signaler talking about something that nobody really cares about and patting himself on the back.

Round heels Harris blew off Netanyahu's address to Congress to go visit with black college sororities. 

Maybe she snubbed Netanyahu because she hates Jews or maybe she was afraid of alienating Jew hating democrat voters.

This gobbledegook post was just a stupid rationalization for or a distraction from her antisemitic snub.  That's all it was.

I never did pledge or join, a few were trying to recruit me, but I really didn't want to be responsible for being a member, I was having way too much fun to get locked down. I got to be real close friends with the guys in AXA and spent most of my spare time at the house... so I basically got to do all the fun stuff and never had to do the crap like the pledges. I was just a sponge that hung around eating their food and drinking their beer for the most part. It was a bit off the chain most of the time as this was before the big crackdowns in the 90's. They were all friends so they just sorta let me have the run of the place. I just had to disappear during official functions like parents day and crap like that. The house mother used to always make me a sandwich to take with me when I left, she was cool as hell (black lady around 50 years old who pretended to be coarse as hell, but she was a sweetheart and everyone knew it). Those guys could have walked all over her, but they wouldn't, she was just too nice.  In fact, I'm still friends with a lot of those guys all of these years later.
We had the black fraternity there, but nobody ever had events with them or anything because they were well known for being bitter and they mostly didn't care for white folks.  I can remember then giving some of the black girls all kinds of hell for coming to our parties. I don't know if all their fraternities are like that, but this one was.

[FlippyDoo]

To the DUmmie, do you have a checklist of exactly how I'm suppose to treat someone in the African-American community? Nah, never mind. I don't care. I'll just treat them like I always have based upon their character instead of their skin color.

You loons think that one aspect of a person makes the person who he or she (or in your cases "it") is. Ohhh, I'm a homosexual! Ohhh, I'm black! Ohhh, I'm whatever. Sane, normal people know that that stuff is just a small aspect (or should be) of who a person is, but you loons exaggerate those things above and beyond everything else. For once, try to be a human being who just happens to be black or just happens to be homosexual or just happens to be whatever. Maybe if you were to do that more people would take you serious instead of viewing you as ignorant, intolerant, pieces of excrement. Maybe.

It's always hilarious when they try to talk about the black community (or any other group that isn't considered "white") as if they were some sort of exotic and totally foreign lifeform.  Reading the DU thread is like watching a nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough discussing some rare animal.

[Heard in his distinctive British accent with a little bit of Democrat stereotyping] "Tonight we will be seeking out the elusive black female in the subgenus Alpha Kappa Alpha.  They can be identified by their distinct pink and green coloration and are often found nesting in ivy.  They have an affinity for oysters and will take pearls they find back to their nests.  When trying to attract a mate they will perform elaborate group dances called step routines and party strolls.  They also will exhibit complex motions with their wings that are recognizable by others of their group.  If one if lucky enough to observe them displaying these complex movements, they should be observed from a distance as they are prone to become violent towards interlopers.  Groups of females of this subgenus are referred to as “soror”, while groups of males are commonly referred to "gang-bangers".  Communities of both males and females are commonly referred to as "ghettos".  They can often be found by tracking their unique calls of "skee-weee, skee-weee".  They are usually found around welfare offices and charities and can be identified without binoculars as most weigh in excess of 18 stones (that's 250 pounds to you non-Brits)."

And, of course the whole discussion is about cultural appropriation, but they seem to be missing the point.  The first sororities were established in the 1850's by a group of white women.  Alpha Kappa Alpha, which is considered the first black sorority, was established 50 or 60 years later.  So isn't this a case of blacks culturally appropriating a white institution?

H5 x 2    that’s really funny

I followed it back to the tweet and wrote

Not how I pick a president, you vacuous turnip.  Nobody cares about this shit.

Also, she ain't black.  She's Indian.  She just puts on a convenient southern accent sometimes, ala Hillary.  Such a phony and a fraud.  Also, highly incompetent, a liar, and she practiced slavery in CA by keeping black men locked up past their sentences for their free labor.

Good going!!!!
These lunatics need all the push back we can give them. Put them back in their hole in the ground.

H5.

Was the DU-post telling white Dems to shut up and sit in the back of the Kammie Bus?

Excuse me, but one dare not forget Hillary Clinton is still around.

Just sayin'.

Is Omar showing these creations, or could he not find a building seismically rated for it?

[Movie buff- The Sequel]

  They can often be found by tracking their unique calls of "skee-weee, skee-weee".

I believe it's actually "Skee-yeee, skee-yeee!"

And? So what, like your farts don’t stink?

Because of your own propaganda you have had a hand in destroying our country and making lives worse for millions of Americans while you sit in your ivory towers criticizing us.
