| All white people are racist |
| 09.22.06 (10:57 am) [edit] |
My Aboriginal justice professor had the balls to make this blatant, offending and racist remark in our lecture.
Apparantly, all white people are racist. It isn't intentional. It's just something they can't help because they have "white privilige". Maybe she's right. I mean...I can't say that I'm not racist. It isn't something I can really help. Like, if I see someone of a different race on a bus, do you smile at them? If you do, are they going to think you're only doing it because of their ethnicity? Do you ignore them? If so, are you only doing so because of their color? Do you do it because you don't know what to do? Isn't that, in itself, racism? I think so.
The thing is...why are only white people racist? There was a lady in class who told a story of her grandfather telling her that white men are bad and that they'll only hurt her. Why isn't that racist? The prof's explanation is because it wasn't a malicious act. It was an attempt to protect his grandaugter.
So, if I am constantly exposed to negative behaviour with respect to other races of people, and I tell MY daughter that the people of those other races are bad and will hurt her...why does that make ME any more racist than that grandfather? Oh..I forgot. I'm Metis. I guess that analogy wouldn't apply to me. Or maybe only partly to me, since I'm just a half-breed.
I'm really trying to understand why everyone puts down white people. Why are they so bad? They're users, racists, abusers, takers and leeches. Is it so wrong for the white man to treat others like themselves as though they are being abused by other races of people? Because they are. Why is it so wrong to be proud to be white? Why can the Aboriginal people be proud to be who they are...but not the white people? Why do African people have a holiday to celebrate themselves, but if the white people had a "white pride" day, they're just even bigger racists? Why does the world shame white people? They can't help that they're white, just like the rest of the world can't help what color they are. Ancestors make mistakes...and the white people made a lot of them. Why does the world shame their children and grandchildren for hundreds of years?
I'm really trying to understand...but there's a fair amount of dissonance with respect to what I'm being taught in this class. It isn't fitting.
