I've been to 5 African countries: trust me, they're shitholes

Now we get to the crux of the matter and the original question. Who is "white" and who isn't. But my point goes beyond trying to define whether Dravidians, Persians, or Lebanese are considered "white" and by whom. It also includes the massive and ever-growing amount of cross breeding between all these races/ ethnicities (call them what you like). This "continuum" you refer to is far more blurry and undefined, and becomes even more so as time goes on. You've got combinations of combinations of combinations to the Nth power.

You can talk this talk but when you fill out a form what you see yourself is not blurred or undefined.

You tick the white box. The same with @brocktonblockbust

You tick

I myself can be viewed "white" by some, "non-white" by others. I'm a Puerto Rican with Italian ancestry. Two brothers came from Italy in the 1800's and settled on the island.... says the family tree I came out of. But Puerto Rico is notorious for having a vast mixture of cultures in one big melting pot, much like the States. Most of us have Spaniard blood, African blood, native Indian blood, North American blood, etc, etc. You can find blond, blue-eyed Puerto Ricans, and black Puerto Ricans.

Please. Stop with the B.S. Just stop.

I come across death Certificates and the Cubans – P.Ricans and Latinos in general always check White and the Hispanic origin, Cuban. NEVER Black. I used to work at hospital the majority always choose white on their demographics forms.

One thing I enjoy about living and having been raised in Puerto Rico is the lack of racial issues (or even separation) that you see in the States.

Meet Johnny Benitez This latino immigrant spearheads the racist alt-right



I’d much rather ask a cross section of black Puerto Ricans because I don’t think they’d say there is a lack of racial issues. I know if I went to Puerto Rico it would be the same old story. The white Puerto Ricans on top and the black Puerto Ricans on the bottom. The black P.Ricans (As a group) would live in the worst areas, the most unemployed, most in prison, shot and killed by police, seen as dumb and lazy and blamed for the crime, have the worst health.

It would not even take me a week to see that.

But black people in Puerto Rico are reliant on white for jobs, houses etc. So white P.Ricans can slap down any black person and put a hurt on any black person REAL BAD who talks about racism and that's how racism works. It's creates a dependency on the people you are sh*tting on.

I've seen racism of the worst kind up close and personal. Never against me personally, thankfully...... but still close enough to be troubling in its nature. Not having been raised as a race-conscious person, racism is something I have a hard time coming to grips with. Tell you the truth, it's nauseating. Because it portrays ignorance. But the door swings both ways, Denilson. There's racism against blacks, Latinos, Asians, etc. But there's also racism against whites.

Don’t include black people in with Latino’s and Asians. Black people have no allies. Most Latino’s and Asians are team white supremacy and can't stand black people.

Racism against whites ? Name one thing that black people (as a group) have stopped white people (as a group) from doing that they had a right to do ? For example, denying them the right to work, own a home, live in a certain area, get a just trial, an education, or use any public facility.

Sure a black person can come up to a white person and bash their skull with a rock because he doesn’t like white people. But that black person is an INDIVIDUAL acting as an INDIVIDUAL and there is no system in place that will support his right to harm whites (Not to mention that white people make sure they live as far away from black people as possible and have as fewer black people working with them as possible)

However white policeman murder black people and get away with it because there is a system in place that allows them to do it. (the courts, the police, the judge, the prison systems).

That is why black people can't be racist. We do not have a system (the power or the institutions) that allows us to mistreat people based on color.

Of course, black people can be PREJUDICED (meaning to pre-judge) someone based on color but that prejudice is limited to what that INDIVIDUAL can do to another INDIVIDUAL.

Still, I'll leave you with the original question, now asked from me to you. How do YOU differentiate between "white" person and a "non-white" person, in order to determine whether that person is a White Supremacist or not? I have to ask, because if we ever met on the street, I'd like to know how you view me.

What you have to understand is when I’m talking about white people it has nothing to do with genetics. Whiteness is given by the society based on what people presume you to be.
And that presumption has nothing to do with genotype (since I cannot know a white person DNA just by looking at him) but rather, everything to do with phenotype, which is the way certain genes are expressed outwardly EG - Skin pigmentation, and a handful of other characteristics, which are controlled by about six genes out of 30,000 in the overall human genome.

Asking me “How do I differentiate between "white" person and a "non-white" person, in order to determine whether that person is a White Supremacist or not?”

Is like me asking you “What are the specific mathematically facial ratio proportions that make a woman face beautiful and what are the mathematical body proportions’ that are sexy?”

You don’t fking know. But guess what ? You know beautiful women when you see it. Same with a white person. I know when I see it. Yeah sure they may have some black grandfather hidden away.

But so what ? They are white and reap the benefits for being white.

Finally I believe all white people are racist. I believe that all white people raised in a society where racism has been (and still is) so prevalent, will have internalized elements of racist thinking. So in countries where beliefs in European/white superiority has been placed, it's likely that everyone in such places will have internalized some of that conditioning.
