You know, a lot of people here have told me that I should confront white people when they are racist. These past few days I have been doing exactly that over zimmerman status updates on facebook with no results.

White people cannot see they're racist for the trees. They always cry about reverse racism and I just end up staring at their comments like "what is wrong with you?" because they can't freakin' take responsibility for how they really are.

None of them want to admit they are racists and apologize. So I just delete them from facebook because I don't want them as friends.

White People could use some humility and a deeper education in how racism still exists in our society it seems. Most White People seem to think that racism ended with slavery or the civil rights movement.

And then they cry about reverse racism. They point the finger at black people.

*facepalm*
 
I think admission might help them be more humble about themselves and it would make them more careful about what they say or think. That it would somehow lessen racism if they were to acknowledge their bias against black people.

As for what's in it for them...I would say, maybe, it would make them better human beings capable of better relationships with people. Rather than antagonistic accusatory "relationships" in which they refuse all responsibility.

There are plenty of whites that live here down south that will tell you to your face, that yes, they are racist and don't care at all who knows. Then they'll call you the "N" word and go about their business. :10500:

So, even if they were to admit it, would they be willing to change their attitude?

But they have to think racism is wrong and shameful for them to find humility in admitting it, yeah? Many only think it's wrong when it's toward them, thus they cry, "reverse racism".

And better relationships with people is not incentive enough for many because that that doesn't include "privilege" and "entitlement" for having white skin. Sure someone with a conscience might think that's something worth working toward, but if a person is staunchly racist, they hardly care about other people's feelings.
