Honest Question

[dviss1]

I think wherethe experiment fails is by allowing free will....overpowered minorities could not get up, walk out and protest with the last word. They are spared violent threat and have no conditioning for being fearful of brown eyed people

It doesn't fail. It just falls short of what we truly experience. There's no way anyone could know. That'd take crazy measures. The point of the exercise is to give some sort of perspective to create empathy.

 

[dviss1]

SEE DVSS1, WE'RE ALL FUCKED IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

Sigh... you've been attributing some serious racial stereotypes bruh... nothing you've typed in this thread has been useful....

 

[riverman]

I spent half my adult life living as a minority in a different culture...I moved overseas by myself unable to speak the language to a village where I was the only Caucasian other than a missionary from New Zealand for a hundred miles....babies would sometimes cry in horror the first time they saw a non asian...people would pull on the hair on my arms and say "whootzi"...monkey and the local language for my culture was barbarian...uncivilized person. In Hawaii I was called Haole....meaning of no color or empty soul. This is an experience many never have. It is not the same as coming from a culture born from slavery and abused for 400 years, but it is insight into what being different brings to the day to day life. I learned their language...customs, and after a long time, they too changed. I favor the Irish in my family but have native blood from my grandmother....sort of always felt evolution would iron out these fears of our differences over time and provide us with a "human" race to identify with.

Its how the real world work. Not the hypothetical, we publish this bullshit study in a journal crap out there. We can study all of this shit until the cows come home.

Its not like this thread is useful. "HEY WHITE PEOPLE, WILL YOU SWITCH PLACES WITH BLACK PEOPLE?". Come on now, its a loaded question to begin to elicit white guilt. It really does nothing to correct anything.

Its not like Black people are the only persecuted people on this planet, everyone has their own stereotypes and that leads to people judging them, whether fair or not.

This is stupid and proves the point of the question. Since the answer is no (like we already know) that treatment is not acceptable to you, why would you passively accept another demographic being treated that way? I knew you wouldn't look at the less than 1:00 video...

 

[dviss1]

now I feel guilty....shit

Imagine how we feel.

 

[riverman]

Imagine how we feel.

we should mean you, el prez and me

Why would the answer be no? For the most part, people are treated with how they present themselves, not based if someone is a certain race or not.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Its like my extreme examples of "asians can't get laid in America".

Do I blame that on society in general? Or do I blame that on the individual? Should I just get laid because I exist? Or must one have to put in the work and effort to do so.

Its the same with living in society. Don't act the fuck up or you'll get smacked the fuck up. Just like 2pac said.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

now I feel guilty....shit

you can pay your reparations by being a cuck!

Don't backtrack. You answered the question.

Come on now, its a loaded question to begin to elicit white guilt. It really does nothing to correct anything.

Its not like Black people are the only persecuted people on this planet, everyone has their own stereotypes and that leads to people judging them, whether fair or not.

One day your mindset will die.

AND NO ONE WANTS YOU TO FEEL GUILTY. JESUS YOU CAN'T BE THAT DENSE CAN YOU?

We simply want to feel empathy. But you're incapable.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Empathy is a waste of time when your own biases are as pervasive as they are.

 

[dviss1]

You are part of the problem.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

How exactly are "people of color" treated?

Are you referring to the recent bunch of thugs being shot by police? Or is this about the white woman clutching her purse as you walk by her at the mall?

You just can't lay out a blanket statement about how "people of color" are treated. America is set up for black people to succeed.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

You are part of the problem.

Impossible. I'm not white. Can't be part of the problem.

 

[dviss1]

Impossible. I'm not white. Can't be part of the problem.

The problem is the racist stereotypes that you subscribe to. Your belief in them perpetuates the the problem. As does your apathy and inability to be part of the solution.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The problem is the racist stereotypes that you subscribe to. Your belief in them perpetuates the the problem. As does your apathy and inability to be part of the solution.

Ignoring the common patterns and problems within each race perpetuates the problem. Until society is ready to recognize this, everything else is an excercise in futility.

So all black people like watermelon?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

So all black people like watermelon?

Most probably do. I mean whats the big deal with liking watermelon.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Watermelon is delicious.

I'd rather just feel guilty

Such a racist joke. I've never been able to dunk and if 30 guys pulled down their pants I'd be in the middle 3rd. Obama care certainly isn't free. You have it now.... Jesus....

Yeah but coming from me you know it was light hearted. Please dont shoot me.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

This is 47 minutes long and few of you will watch it. Maybe none of you. It's the blue eyed brown eyed experiment:

I watched it.

My thoughts:
I have brown eyes so life is good.

it wasnt very well done. The blue eyes should have got to smoke blunts and the brown eyed people should have had to pay taxes so the blue eyeds could buy the sandwiches with food stamps.

My favorite part was when the one black guy was dining on that good food. That look he had in that split second is probably how a lot of white people look to you.

Why didnt the blue eyes just jump up and give her a haymaker to her baron babymaker? Or shoot her cause #blueeyesmatter

I'm one of the two people who voted yes, and I did so specifically for the interest in perspective. I don't know how my experience with the world would be different if everything else about me except my skin color were the same. There's no way to know "how I would be treated" as a black man.

I got 30 minutes in and fell asleep. You know, blue eyed people don't have what we call a culture.

You can't have it both ways. The comparison is fine if black people consider themselves identical to whites in every way except skin color. They don't.

If I start a poll that asks if you'd rather be healthy or have ALS or something ....I don't think I'd choose ALS for perspective.

If i could go back maybe. But you know what they say once you go ALS you never go back

Im surprised you dont respect elprez's opinion more. Isnt he asian? He goes through the same shit. I bet he's constantly stopped in the grocery store by old white ladies trying to convert liters to quarts and shit.
