Finkelstein is interesting but not exactly a good debater

Ouch. That is hardcore racism right there but interesting history nonetheless

@anndwatson ok but in order to begin to fix this problem we would need to find out WHY these other non-white groups dislike blacks - it would have to be a brutally honest conversation about race and the history of it. We are so far away from having this sort of discussion in 2023 though as so many are too sensitive

I’ve also had frustrating talks with white liberals about this. For whatever reason, they like to make out that only whites are racist towards blacks .. I find this to be truly absurd - many brown groups have a strong animosity towards black people and in many cases hold a stronger dislike of blacks than whites. White liberals just cannot seem to grasp this Fwiw all groups have some degree of racist animosity towards one another .

@mmi5833 yes but you have to look at the other side of things too - I’m referring to the many Arab shopkeepers that have been robbed, assaulted and/or killed by black thieves. There are quite a few videos of these types of incidents. You never see this type of incident go the other way(Arab assaulting or robbing blacks) so and we all know that Arabs talk about this sort of thing behind closed doors. So while blacks generally fall under the “oppressed” banner they are also the aggressor or oppressor at times.

Now tell me who was the first group to outlaw slavery…?

“Everyone is anti black” This is dumb and neurotic thinking. Are there racists in non-black groups? Sure, but there are just as many racists in black groups . Do you not see this ? The % of hardcore racists among each group is pretty small though. You need to realize that most whites do not obsess about skin color like certain other groups. I feel that some blacks view everything through the lens of race so they will see any animosity from someone outside their racial group as evidence of racism but it usually has nothing to do with race .

Gabor Mate doesn’t seem to realize that over half of the students in academia right now think the native Americans were very peaceful people before the white man came! They have no Idea of how barbaric the indigenous tribes were to one another! I say both sides need to stop lying but I don’t see that happening. Very very few true good faith people on both sides
