Racism and other stuff
Deborah:
Hmm.
It?s my understanding that racism (as are all other isms) is one way- the systematic oppression of one group by another group. In other words, whites have always oppressed blacks, or anyone of color for that matter.
What you are experiencing in the ?rapper ghetto? is not racism, because as of yet, blacks have never systematically oppressed whites.
You are experiencing perhaps, plain ol' indignant resentment- blacks in reaction to being oppressed by whites. Misplaced as it may be, it's not even prejudice because there is cause/grounds for the judgment/anger.
I hate that. I find that I avoid those neighborhoods because I don?t want to be mistakenly identified as ?whitey?, the one responsible for the oppression they and their ancestors endured.
Besides, whites don?t want people of color in their neighborhoods unless they?re providing lawn, maid or pool service. Why would you think they?d want you (given you?re white) in their hood? Personally, I?d wait for an invite.
Not all whites hate blacks, and blacks, whites. But there is still a lot of racial tension for sure, and I can only imagine that Atlanta could have some pretty hot spots.
Seen Bullworth? Great movie and interesting cure for ending racism.
This society oppresses teens. The teen warehouse industry is predicated on 'adultism'- the systematic (but often obscure) mistreatment (neglect, commodification, etc) of kids by adults. Would it make sense to you to say that kids in reaction to that are exhibiting reverse 'adultism'? Or, in reaction to 'age oppression'?
ISMS go one way. The reaction to an ISMS is not an ISM- not even the 'reverse' of an ISM. Does that make sense?
