Just because I'm mostly white doesn't mean I can't imagine how it is to be discriminated. Quoting from To Kill a Mockingbird:
“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
You can understand someone's perspective by really putting yourself in their position. I've always done this with people, but for some it might be hard. I try to erase myself completely, and imagine myself walking in their shoes, seeing the things they see and facing the discrimination they face.
I also don't believe that a white person supporting another white person from being harassed is proving the point of white supremacy- they were just sticking up for someone and just happened to be white.
People go on and on about how we all are sub-consciously racist and I disagree. When I was little, I'd specifically ask my mom to buy Barbies of all hair and skin colors instead of the usual white-blonde-blue-eyed ones. I had a friend come over when I was 6 and she asked "Why are you playing with the black barbie?" and I told her that they are all Barbies and it doesn't matter which one I play with.

she said they were standing for because they were white and a white person couldn't take seeing another white person be treated like because they're so to being superior.

I dont think she did, it was a "I never only wanted white things because I saw them was better, I wanted dolls of all races because I thought they were all equally beautiful."
ok whatever that's just what it read like to me. like she was trying to prove just how not racist she is. not saying is racist but if you're not you don't have to defend yourself from someone thinking you might be.
I dont think she did, it was a "I never only wanted white things because I saw them was better, I wanted dolls of all races because I thought they were all equally beautiful."
It was just a small example, the video you posted reminded me of a similar experiment except with Barbies and it was done with young children so it was in my head. I'm not literally saying "I'm not racist because I bought black barbies", I'm saying that even as a small child who can easily be influenced by others, I still rejected the idea of one race being superior to another. Don't read too much into it lol
I'm mixed with a lot of different races (8 in fact) but I have Hispanic and Native American in me.
She said she never was sub-consciously racist because when she was young example. You are seeing it in a racist way so thats all you see, you are claiming she is when shes not.

Just read your first sentence and your opinion is wrong regardless.
There is no way in arguing with you since you're just going by your opinion. Stay in the minority and be wrong technically.
I'm just going to assume you're a privileged white or just privileged since you do not go through racism and discriminatory based on your race. People like you always argue for everything. Open your mind up and start to think differently yes? Literally everybody agrees with her practices just not the little butt hurt delicate privileged.
My opinion is my way of thinking. She IS wrong in the way she tackles the issue. If she had actually did the original scenario and showed ra… morecism through that I wouldnt complain or when tackled race directly, DIDNT call every white person a racist or anyone who didnt completely agree with her opinion a racist, I would be fine. However she did, you also cant say no one disagreed because in the video it states MANY people had problems with her way of thinking.
A LOT of people see a problem with this, however since only you, me, and Duck are arguing about this it seems like im the minority. I do not need to change my opinion on this woman's practices to comform to YOUR way of thinking.

Alright, so one sentence in and you already give up. Nice to know you arent biased, read the whole thing, damn just watch the video. Im not in the minority on her teachings.

But why am I arguing, youre just racist.
didn't have to read the rest since it's probably you justifying your "ways of thinking" and probably saying how she's racist. Throwing the term loosely. Like you use it on me too lol.
Learn what racism means before preaching baby, I'm not discriminating against you or making fun of you for your race, I'm pointing it out. Is saying that racist now? Wow? I'm assuming the word you are looking for is "Direct". But I'm not expecting you to catch on since you're "different" and the way you "think" is so perplexed lol.

I was just using his and Janes way of, "Its not my opinion? THEY MUST BE RACIST!"
Maybe he is racist against white people, I dont know, I was just using that to mock him, or just be ironic.
Not everyone who isnt white doesnt like white, you know that right?
Honestly im getting tired of this arguing. You can debate politely but niether of our views are changing. Ellias is just becoming a troll now, not reading arguments but still commenting insults and baseless claims. Yeah this has basically became a troll threat thanks to Ellias. Bye!
no i never said it was everyone that wasn't white hates white people. you said that. no is arguing dude chill. Why do you hate Ellias so much? can i get a reason before you leave?

I know you didnt but I was putting that out there, and yes I can see why some do. Secondly this is a debate WE are having but the one me and Ellias are having is an argument...Was.
Why do I hate Ellias? Well he comes into the argument rudely (This I could forgive), next he says I have a disability because I have a different opinion, he continues to do this just adding that im "Racist" (Like he knows a none Wikipedia or opinion based one), then stops arguing and just starts trolling.
That my friend is why I hate with a passion Ellias.
no i never said it was everyone that wasn't white hates white people. you said that. no is arguing dude chill. Why do you hate Ellias so much? can i get a reason before you leave?
one he called you slow but he didn't mean you had a disability. slow is just another way of saying dumb or stupid. two i don't think he's trolling honestly.

He is, not the super obvious trolling like that "Lets have a Jane fan holocaust" thing going on in the TWD section but trolling none the less. He has called me "slow" and "Different" multiple times, I rather not be called retarded , mostly because he knows zero about me. Im not going to have some troll go ahead and insult me while try and have an argument of which he wasnt contributing.

All I see from him is a troll.
Comments
XD sorry but Ellias has pissed me off.
yeah i know he has
I can at least have a calm peaceful discussion with you without claims of someone being slow.
yeah that's because you're not too much of a dick
I try XD
AllThatReamins never said why she didn't like the video
what would i be inferring?

Yeah she has now.
AllThatRemains just did, hope you're not inferring anything....
i'm sure you a cool person but you just used the "i have a black friend i can't be racist" thing but with dolls. what are you other than white?
no i see it
she said they were standing for because they were white and a white person couldn't take seeing another white person be treated like because they're so to being superior.

But they werent just doing it because they were white, did you read what she wrote?
ok ok chill you're cool as far as i can see. eight races? damn that's a lot. i've probably got three tops.
i read it and i was just quoting the video
hey hey stop i cleared it up.
To be fair I made this post before she made hers.
I dont actually think those were psychologists, do you?
I was just wondering.
they may have been i don't know
ok
They seemed actor-ish...May have been just me.
yeah a little bit
