University Report: A Room Full of White People Is a Microaggression

a quick google search reveals this "journalist" is a comedian, just look at the rest of her articles: http://www.nationalreview.com/author/katherine-timpf they're from the onion. Headlines like: Petition: ‘Walk Only’ Signs in Pedestrian Areas Are Insensitive to Disabled People and Ivy League Students Launch Mock Slave Auction to Protest a Frat’s Beyonce Doll

Thread: University Report: A Room Full of White People Is a Microaggression You guys seem to be just as obssessed about race as the Al Sharptons of this world. Rand had an interview on MSM, you are a new users, why not talk about that first before going all race baity

A UWDude post was deleted and my quoted response was also deleted so HankRicther12 post could have been edited by a mod.

In my deleted post I talked about my four threads I started. Yes two have racial implications, this one which I thought Libertarians would be interested in because of the psychological warfare and race baiting (and others issues I mention above) by the social engineers but I realize that simply pointing this out is somehow race baiting in and of its self according to Libertarians. Interesting. The second post is about the totalitarian government of Sweden's design to transform it's capital which will negatively affect the Indigenous people of Sweden and most likely collapse the entire country. Completely out of control and hostile governments isn't a Libertarian interest I guess. The third is about the proposal to ban free speech in the UK, kinda self explanatory or is it? The forth was about March Against Monsanto which I see as consumers standing up for themselves and trying to educate the public or perhaps you see that post as me being a tyrannical anti-capitalists race baiter.

So yes race is part of the conversation if you like it or not, going all ostrich on us won't make it go away but things are multi layered they are not just black and White (pun intended). I was interested in talking to Libertarians about the total picture of things (big picture and small picture) including out of control and hostile governments. Perhaps I am on the wrong forum.

“Students of color reported feeling uncomfortable and unwelcomed just walking into or sitting in the classroom, especially if they were the only person of color, or one of a few,” stated the report, which designated the experience a microaggression.

I frankly feel uncomfortable around people who think this is reasonable. I feel even more uncomfortable around people who think the color of my skin is an important attribute. But the worst people are people who make this up if they would stop bringing it up racism would slowly die a silent death.

Said the White racist, according to Racial Microaggression theory.

Theme - Color blindness Statements that indicate that a White person does not want to acknowledge race.

Example 1

Microaggression - “When I look at you, I don’t see color.”

Message - Denying a person of color’s racial/ethnic experiences.

Example 2

Microaggression - “America is a melting pot.”

Message - Assimilate/acculturate to the dominant culture.

Example 3

Microaggression - “There is only one race, the human race.”

Message - Denying the individual as a racial/cultural being

Well, at the same time it seems there is some confusion on what being libertarian even means. By all means, any here feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but in a nutshell being a libertarian just means a belief in the NAP correct? Therefore to say libertarians must have quality "X, Y, Z" and support viewpoint "X, Y, Z" is incorrect. Now despite the accusations here, I am not a racist, but let's just say for a moment I was - I can still be a libertarian. The whole key of it all is do I keep my racism relegated to myself and my own personal space. So long as I am not hurting anyone, or forcing my ways on them, damaging property, etc I am still abiding by libertarian principles.

Frankly it is discouraging to come here and see that even amongst the "non-sheeple" you still find all this demagoguery and straw man type arguing, I'm not saying everyone here has to agree with me, not at all, but geez I figured here I could at least find some adult conversations, to ignore race and culture as an important part of most people's lives is just simply naive.

That seems to be something some here have forgotten, now don't get me wrong, of course, if someone here actually is racist you can disagree with them, debate them present your argument as to why they are wrong, but to say someone isn't libertarian just because they are racist is not true. You can be racist, sexist, socialist, capitalist, anarchist, or any view you wish, it's just a matter of do you abide by the NAP, do you try to force it on others or do you put your ideas out there, and allow people to freely go along or refuse as they wish, as long as it's all voluntary it is libertarian.

Point taken.

Does the Racial Microaggression theory, Swedish government example, UK banning free speech, March against Monsanto violate NAP?

Iraq Support Split Along Racial Lines

The results on these two questions look far different when analyzed by race. When asked whether it was a mistake to send troops into Iraq, three in four blacks (76%) say it was a mistake to send troops, while only one in five (20%) say it was not a mistake. In contrast, 42% of non-Hispanic whites believe it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq, while a majority, 56%, believe it was not.

A similar pattern emerges among the responses to the "worth going to war" question. Only 18% of blacks interviewed by Gallup in 2004 say it was worth going to war in Iraq, while 79% say it was not worth it. Among non-Hispanic whites, a majority (56%) say the war in Iraq was worth fighting and 42% say it was not.

You do not have to accept the NAP to be a libertarian. Milton Friedman and his son David are good examples of libertarians whose positions have nothing to do with non-aggression.

Race issues aren't simply important for libertarians, they're important for anyone who wants to understand reality. It is impossible to understand the modern West without also understanding how race plays into it.

So your saying race is not a social construct but that race is real and that race matters. And that White's are an aggressive race. If Whites share certain traits then do other races/population groups share unique traits as well?

So what would you propose to do about Whites aggressive nature? Separation of the race's/isolation of the White race? Oppression? Reeducation? or Extermination?

I know very little about "race" as a concept besides the general idea that it tends to be more powerful binding force than other shared tribal identities. Racial identity is probably driven from self-interest and finding natural ease in associating with those of same "kind".

It was a tongue n cheek comment, only serious point worth studying was this:

Iraq Support Split Along Racial Lines


I am not prepared to say that any "race" is aggressive by nature in a serious discussion as it is a complex phenomnon. Besides nature tends to change with change in environment.

Absolutely. I've been following a lot of that stuff in Sweden, it's pretty scary, I grew up with a view of Sweden mostly (inaccurately) based on the Swedish Bikini Team , guess it's far from that now.

But how much of that is due to partisanship rather than race? Suppose Gore had won in 2000 and invaded Iraq and it became the debacle that it did - I think you'd find much different results. I'd say this has far more to do with circling the wagons around the guy with the "R" next to his name than it does with race. If we're going to go this route why not look at violent crime stats, base it on percentage of population and tell me which race overall is more violent. Now, is that due to the race itself, or are there other factors?

Could be part of the dynamic. And let me clarify that I was referring to "white Americans" primarily when making Iraq war agression light hearted comment, many white europeans have been against adventurous wars like Iraq's or even are pacifists lately.

It is probably human nature groomed by wordly self-interest that drives a group/tribe's collective behavior. If Iraq's major export was cabbage, there probably would have been no revenge attack there. If black and white majorities stood to gain/lose exactly same from that exercise and there was less of historic baggage, their views would have been same likely.

I really can't say in a general statement that xyz race is more agressive/violent than the other. With the right environment, one can probably make any group of people to do anything.

I'm very opposed to elective wars and lately tend to see many things throug that prism.. which probably does not do justice to every topic discussion. In "race" I have little interest in general.

 

[heavenlyboy34]

White people should be limited to gathering in groups of no more than 7. More than that is really uncalled for and clearly racist.

Could more gather if they wear blackface ala Al Jolson?

 

[r3volution 3.0]

I don't give a micro-shit.

 

[Natural Citizen]

“Students of color reported feeling uncomfortable and unwelcomed just walking into or sitting in the classroom, especially if they were the only person of color...

Wait a second. Heh. So, then, white isn't a color anymore? When did that happen? I missed the announcement.

Nope.

White is a mixture of all colors in the spectrum essentially. Black reflects essentially no color light, white reflects essentially every color light.

Not only that, but "people of color" is the new PC term, but "colored people" is still considered racist. Modernity is a cancer.

Nothing wrong with a little sarcasm.

My stance is that Nature and Nurture are at work. I am not a universalist, one size does not fit all. The funny thing is I find it horribly racist to assume everyone will think/act just like you do. I do not oppose the idea of people from various backgrounds organizing amongst themselves. The Free State Project for example seems to have a diverse range of people and if they can make it work then good for them. But the idea that Sweden or Japan has to be forced by hostile elites to become mixed race or replaced is disturbing to me and genocidal. Somethings are not irreversible. The flipside of freedom of association is the freedom to disassociate. So I support those who wish to keep there genetics and culture intact as well as those who wish to freely associate with whom ever they choose. Get the big nasty tyrannical governments and social engineers out of the way and I think things would work themselves out.

Absolutely. I've been following a lot of that stuff in Sweden, it's pretty scary, I grew up with a view of Sweden mostly (inaccurately) based on the Swedish Bikini Team

, guess it's far from that now.
