6. This pyramid
left out accusations of "playing the race card", but I guess that might go under "blaming the victim". When people accuse you of playing the race card, they want to pretend that the grievances of disadvantaged groups are all make-believe, that it's all just a game, and they want us to shut up. Also the "reverse racism" thing really makes me mad. There's no such thing as "reverse racism", and the concept doesn't make sense except when used by bullies to claim victim status. |

8. A little bit off topic
| But my SIL works in prison corrections--he's now an investigator as well as on a couple of special teams--like SWAT--Guess which gang is the MOST problematic? Yup. White supremacists. Now, If I was to guess, from my white perspective and given the geographical area and racial makeup, I would have thought Latino gangs. Nope all over that. Now do "we" (we as in white people) hear about "White gangs", nearly as often as other types? Nope. When "we" hear "gang-related shootings"--practically a code for AA gangs-- are we thinking white gangs? Hell no we aren't. Does the media even refer such shootings as"gang-related"? I wonder. Language carries our cultural freight, always. Anyway--Handy graphic, thank you |
