According to the University of Toronto Mississauga's student union, racism against whites simply does not exist.
In a post published on the union's official Facebook page, the students claimed that "an oppressed group cannot be racist against a dominant group (white people)." The UTM student union added the "(white people)."
The student union explained that minorities can't be racist towards whites because they do not hold a position of power. Yes, minorities can hate whites because of the color of their skin, but that is not racist. That's "prejudice," according to the group.
You can see the post below:
This is what is being taught in schools and in textbooks.
You would think college students would know the proper forms of “prejudice” and where and how to use them.
Written by a diversity scholar I guess. I guess we could aks the school.
Affirmative action is institutionalized, bureaucratized racism against whites.
Bunk. I’ve been the target of non-violent reverse racism. It took a federal complaint to get it resolved. The federal government of the United States of America is on record saying that I, a non-African American citizen of the U.S., was discriminated against in a racist way, in favor of an African American.
The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.
Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?
What these “tolerant and informed” people do not understand is that the simple use of the term RACISM provides them the “power” to oppress and...well...be racist according to that “power”.
Prejudice is a 2-way street.
As a member of the 2nd to last white family to move out from 170th St in Da Bronx, well you figure it out:-)
But you are making the mistake of thinking they are still speaking English. They are speaking real-world Newspeak, which sounds a lot more like English than Orwell’s fictional Newspeak, and has the characteristic that words can change meaning as suits the interests of the left, sometimes even after they have been spoken.
According to my handy Newspeak-English glossary (which is necessarily non-exhaustive, since a new meaning for the word can be added at any time as suits the left, but lists only the primary sense of the word most commonly used by the left) we have
racist n. (1) white person or person of European ancestry, (2) person who has criticized a political position taken by a person not of European ancestry, (3) person who has criticized any program, policy or social desideratum of the left deemed by the left to be beneficial to racial or ethnic minorities, (4) any non-Muslim who has accurately described aspects of Islamic doctrine or jurisprudence deemed impolitic to describe by Muslims or leftist, (5) obs. racist.
Oh for crying effing out loud!
Someone please tell me that just one huge muscular minority male with a gun does not hold a position of power over a small unarmed white guy???
There is no such thing as reverse racism...It is racism, pure and simple no matter whether black, white, green, purple, blue, or red....Racism is racism....
You were a target of racism...period...
So the oppressed group (the minority) cannot be racist against the dominant group?
OK, then dominant majority Blacks are racist in Rhodesia and South Africa, right? That’s why they are hacking up Whites?
I’d love to hear those commie students comments on that.
Makes one wonder what else they’re not teaching these students.
For most of our country’s history, we’ve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing, but one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.
Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred, it has usually been as the result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations are forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grows among them and the more violently they break apart, but break apart they will, or genocide will settle the issue once and for all.
Why is this and why can’t we all just get along? The truth of the matter is that we (the human race) just aren’t as civilized as we would like to think we are. Homo sapiens-sapiens aren’t that long “out of the trees” and the veneer of civilization is very thin, to non-existent, upon us all. We’re all carrying the genes that got us here and some of those genes carry a very basic survival instinct that has allowed us to survive thus far.
This most basic of all survival instincts is the one that warns us to be very wary of those who are different than us, our family, and our tribe. Those who possessed this survival instinct survived and reproduced, and those who had no fear/distrust of strangers didn’t survive. Over the years, this survival instinct has been referred to as tribalism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, racism, and various other isms, but it is an inborn instinct carried in our genes whether we like it or not.
So, with this history lesson in mind, what future do you see for our country? Will we someday soon become one people made up of olive skinned, dark haired, Spanish speaking Muslims, or will we break up into three or four small (Balkanized) third-world countries that hate their neighboring country’s guts?
Somebody needs to send them the definitions of “indoctrination” and “dogma”.
FTA: “minorities can’t be racist towards whites because they do not hold a position of power”
Do they mean positions of power like the President of the United States and the Attorney General? Those positions of power?
This is simply dishonest and wrong.
Groups don’t hold power, individuals do.
Have these folks noticed who is President?
