How racism helps and hurts white people

Sat 31 Oct 2009 by abagond

(http://harryallen.info/?p=2714)

This is partly in answer to Macon Ds post on Stuff White People Do: fail to see how racism harms whit

people. Here is my take:

Racism both helps and hurts white Americans.I cannot prove all of the following statements withstudies, charts and figures, but this is the truth as best I know it:

How it helps:

They are way richerthan they would have been:They live on land taken from the American Indians.They benefit directly or indirectly from the free labour of black slaves and, later, from thecheaplabourof blacks and other people of colour.Theyget paid morefor a given level of education.Lower unemployment:they are less likely to fired and more likely to be hired even with aprison record.

They get to live in nicer, safer neighbourhoodswith better schools.

They live longer: even poor whites live longer than middle-class blacks.It helps to keep them from falling to the very bottomof society.

How it hurts:

They become morally blind. Since they do not see the evil they do they are surprised by 9/11, raceriots, failures in foreign policy, poverty at home, etc.

They harden their hearts.

They become partly deluded: they believe lies about themselves, their history, their society. Theydo not take the truth seriously when it comes from a person of colour.They have a limited idea of what it means to be human. At root, racism is the idea that beingdifferent means there is something wrong with you. That means many whites hide or slowly kill the

true selves in order to fit in, making them into plastic people.

They becomesmall-minded:Because they feel good about themselves by looking down on others.

Because they narrow their minds by not taking other people and their cultures seriously.

They are not true to themselves and their belief that all men are created equal and so they live wit

guilt.

Crime is higher than in other rich countries and so they live with fear.By hurting people of colour they are hurting their own country. At the very least they are wasting apart of its human capital.

Many whites vote against their class interestsin part because of race.

That is what comes to me off the top of my head. I might be forgetting some big ones. Commenters can

kindly point them out.

In short, whites are not true to themselves to their morals, their beliefs, their heart, their soul. Theyare sell-outs to an idea that is beneath them.

If I still have any white readers left I know they will strongly disagree. Perhaps they will think I hate themthat I am trying to put them down. Wrong: I am trying to be honest.

Whites signed up forracism to create America and they continue to hold on to racism to hold on to itsadvantages. They made a deal with the deviland we know how that ends.

alwaysright101reading that, it looks like the benefits greatly outweigh the disadvantages, and that is why

whites will not change. because they benefit physically. the disadvantages for the most part

are all within ones heart and soulthere are plenty of people out there who are willing to

throw someone under a bus if they could get some kind of material value for it. in a majority societyone gets afforded the ability to not have to care about other people and their plights. their response

who needs them anyways?.

of course the 9/11 one sticks out the most to me, its because of their behavior that events like 9/11

will continue to happenbut what annoys me most is that America is okay plummeting this country

into economic turmoil fighting Middle easterners because of terrorism, but this country will not do

anything about its domestic terrorism that comes from the KKK and neo nazi and other white

supremacist groupsit seems like whites are less willing to fight a terrorist group if it consists of the

ownsimply because they probably benefit from the likes of them.

HerneithThe kkk and other white supremist fringe groups, provide comfort to most white people in

that they can be used as a comparison to their own racism. These are extreme proponents of

white supremacy. The normal white person uses this as a barometer as to their own racism.

Of course most white dont suscribe to kkk or neo-nazi babblings, this is why they are invaluable!

In their mind they are nothing like these fringe lunatics. It makes them feel good about themselves

since they are not so extreme. However, and more dangerously, they are oblivious to institutional an

social racism and its deleterious effects on racialized people.

I prefer the blatant racist as I dont have to waste my precious time and energy finding this out down

the road. I also prefer the white person who acknowledges their biases and racism and works to rid

themselves of their views.

macon dThank you for fleshing this out, abagond. Im a white reader who does not strongly disagree.

Yes, the blatant racists are easier for me too, that way at least. Beware the moderates, as I think

MLK said (or rather wrote, in a certain famous letter).

I also like the point you make about a certain mode of relational white identity formation.

Racism? Thats THOSE people, over there! (or rather, in many cases, down south)

CandaceGood post although I do believe that you are being a little too hard on Whites.

Yes, there are White racists, but what percentage of Whites do you really believe are racist?

If Whites were as racist as some of us Blacks believe, would we be around? Why didnt they kill us

off during colonialism or slavery or Jim Crow? Why are we still not in slavery? Why no more Jim

Crow?

My question may be stupid, but considering the fact that there are some minorities who are no longe

on the face of the earth (Tasmanian aboriginals, Arawaks, etc.), I just wonder if we dont exaggerate

the wickedness of Whites to cover some of our own failings.

Perhaps you could do a post on what Whites have done right and yes, they must be doing

something right or they would not dominate the world as they do.

Personally, I believe that there are lessons to be learned from Whites, from Blacks, from Asians, etc

We all have plusses and minuses in our backgrounds. White people are more powerful than others,

but they are not any more evil than others.

As I come from a Black country, I know that Blacks can be as wicked as anyone else to their own

kind. Ask Rwandans about this.

Just my 2 cents.

MatariIf Whites were as racist as some of us Blacks believe, would we be around? Whydidnt they kill us off during colonialism or slavery or Jim Crow? Why are we still not inslavery? Why no more Jim Crow?

My question may be stupidI just wonder if we dont exaggerate the wickedness of Whites tocover some of our own failings.

Actually you raise a good question in my opinion. A question that is nicely answered in an excellent

sci-fi short story called, The Space Traders. Its a free REVEALING read you can find on the web via

a search engine. It was written by Derrick Bell, a university law professor who happens to be Black.

1. Most racists are not genocidal skinheads. Very few are. These days in America most do

not even seem to hate blacks they just look down on them. Whites have made racism into

this extreme thing so that they do not have to call what they do racism as pointed out

above on this very thread by Herneith!

2. I think 95% of whites are racist, but I could work with a figure of 60%. It is well over half in any

case.

3. As a policy I mostly do not write good things about whites and bad things about blacks Americanculture is already doing that coast-to-coast, 24/7.

Herneith@macon:

(or rather, in many cases, down south)

Ironically I find most Southerners easier to get along with at least on the surface. Perhaps they think

due to my accent I am not like other blacks(Im Canadian). They appear for the most part to be

pleasant inquisitive(sic) and polite. Since I am interacting with them on a superficial level, I have towonder why this is. It would be interesting if their outlook would change upon closer acquaintance.

macon dHerneith, Ive gathered that a lot of white Southerners are more accustomed to interacting

with POC and that whites in the North tend to be more racially segregated.

Which is not to say that I think racism is any more or less severe in either The South (whatever that

still is) or The North (whatever that still is).

soulOn a very simplistic level for a few reasons but the most important one is because:

We, black people did not passively sit by and let them exterminate or eliminate us allIt is a shame that history our own proud history ofresistancehaas been soo supressed.

Secondly, We are too numerous and it they needed workers. if you eliminate all the people you don

like, then who does your dirty work.

Its much better to eliminate their pride, sense of self-worth, economic abilities, aspirations, e.t.c.

Own the mind and you own the body completely and that body will do anything you tell it to do andbelieve anything you tell it, because you control the mind.

I dont have much time today or I would have said a lot more.

daniCandace said:

@Abagond, I wasnt saying that you should praise Whites and down Blacks. I was justsaying that some of your posts could be a bit more positive by pointing out the good in all

peoples.

There must be a way to highlight racists without demonizing all Whites.

Dont you live among or work with Whites? I do (theyre also at my church). Cannot say that60% are racist. I dont understand why you believe that so many Whites look down on youbecause you are Black. Things are not so bleak!

Lighten up.

You totally missed the point of this post. I dont think he dislikes White people at all nor do I think he

is being harsh on them. I think he strongly dislikes many of the attitudes that White people carry.Theres a difference on hating the person and hating the attitude. He lightens up on them even the

ones who post the most vile shit about Black people on here lol. Im sorry but Im going to have to

disagree with you though. Most White people are. Even the nicest White people Ive met were very

nice but were very ignorant on race relations because of them being blind to their priveledge. I hated

their attitudes towards race, but liked them for many other things we shared in common. I dont think

Abagond hates White people so much that he can work with them, because I mean we cant escape

White people even if we tried. We are called minorites for a reason lol. He just disgut the evil racial

social construct that plagues our society and its hard not to avoid White people in this discussion.

GenSo he must be untrue to himself because it might be too heavy for some people? Come on. In

his blog, he presents facts and also his experiences and deep, honest thoughts. Personally,

Im glad he doesnt candy coat things.

Thereselol @Candace Says: I AM NOT WHITE. I AM AS BLACK AS YOU AND ABAGOND.

Since when did Abagond turn black? Did I miss something? LOL

JackAs a policy I mostly do not write good things about whites and bad things about blacks

American culture is already doing that coast-to-coast, 24/7. You say you hate whites

because they stereotype blacks, but dont you and most of your bloggers do the same about

whites on a daily basis.

Its funny that you hate whites, while youre using more white inventions (Computer, blogging) to put

them down.

inventions again.If it werent for whites inventing this that or the other thing you never

would have been able to do this that or the other thing.

sigh

JackHey Dani, explain to me the evil racial social construct that plagues our society? You dont

like white peoples opinions on race because they dont coincide with your opinions.

Your long comment on hate facts showed no sign of having read the post or any of the

comments. It was not even on-topic, so I deleted it.

I hope he keeps doing this.

abagondRight: inventions have nothing to do with this post. It is a cheap diversion.

HerneithDont you live among or work with Whites? I do (theyre also at my church). Cannot say that

60% are racist. I dont understand why you believe that so many Whites look down on you

because you are Black. Things are not so bleak!

I work in a predominately white environment and, based upon my experiences, would hazard a

guess and say that 90% of the whites harbour some racist animus towards racialized peoples. Is it

overt such as blatant name calling? No. It is much more insidious and therefore more dangerous.

More dangerous for the racialized person who does not recognize the insidiousness of this racism.

Ive seen the fallout from this on numerous occasions when they do. It is nice to go through life with

blinkers on, but do so at your own peril. One must be conscious of and recognize the subtle

behaviours and phrases employed by many whites in order to recognize racism when it occurs. I

think that many racialized people are not cognizant in this regards.

There must be a way to highlight racists without demonizing all Whites.

Abagond is just pointing out modes of behaviour that racialized people should be aware of. On a

level playing field this would be applicable. However, this isnt the case. Abagond is also writing from

a black perspective not a white one. Elucidating these many behaviours is invaluable for many of his

readers. It provides them with validation in that modes of speech and behaviour they may have

experienced from whites, is not in their heads. Abagond puts a name to many of these subtle racist

behaviours. I am grateful he does so without fear of alienating readers. In short, he is only putting on

paper common themes that other racialized people have experienced at one time or another in their

lives.

As for racism hurting whites, the pros outweigh the cons for them to recognize and give it upcurrently. When it is no longer profitable, they may do so.

HerneithRight: inventions have nothing to do with this post. It is a cheap diversion.

What I take umbrage to is the fact that they appear to take credit for something they had no

hand in but are benefiting from like everyone else is. Individuals invent, not groups. If he wasnt usin

this example, he would be throwing in some other cockamamie argument which has nothing to do

with the topic at hand. This is highly insulting to say the least, especially to the inventors themselves

To impute a few inventors achievements to a group based upon race, makes for a bogus argument.

mans views on a wide variety of issues and topics. As with most things one can agree or disagree

with what is written, comment or not comment. As for preaching to the choir, as previously iterated,

people can choose to read, comment or not. If many happen to have similar views, what of it? What

is baffling, is your take on this blog as one whose sole purpose is to influence the thinking

processes of whites or anyone else for that matter.

Marian:

Thank you for your feedback. I do not have a live audience, so it is only through comments

that I can tell if I am hitting the mark or not.

About the white woman pictured at the top:

The man and woman are heads from Old Navy mannequins almost certainly created by white

people, like Herneith pointed out. I chose them because one of the points made in the post was that

racism has limited the humanity of white people.

I did not choose the woman because she has blonde hair and blue eyes that is Old Navys doing.On my main post about white people the woman is black-haired and brown-eyed:

http://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/07/05/white-people/

About influencing white people:

As a writer my duty is to present the truth as clearly as I can. More on my model of writing here:

http://abagond.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/classic-prose-style/

If white people like what I write, great. If they do not, I am not going to lose sleep over it.

abagondMarian:

The only people in this thread who have used the phrase all whites are you and Candace. It

is a straw man argument.

The post is about how racism affects whites. It never said that all whites are racist. If I wrote a post

How drugs affect teens would that mean I think all teens are doing drugs?

MiraI think white people dont realize this. They dont see that racism hurts them, so they cant do

anything about it. Many think racism doesnt even exist anymore. Others think its not such a

big deal, perhaps.

The point is: racism doesnt affect them and their group, so most of them are not trying to do anythin

to stop it.

rulers. My contacts to other parts of American life are different. Some of my best friends are actually

Americans of all backgrounds but I would bet, without the urge to investigate in further detail, that I

also have my worst enemies over there.

MiraFemi,

The experience you described is the thing I fear. Thats why I am not so eager to become animmigrant, even if economic & social situation in my country is crappy. I did feel that patronizing an

generic polite vibe when I was in western Europe so I dont think its about US.

To be treated like that, and even worse, in your own country, must be horrible.

FemiMira,

I know what you mean. Where I work now we had a few Russian and Asian Indian experts

coming in for some specialised jobs. Everybody was trying to be cautious in how they wouldencounter them culturally but in the end it was clumsy. I dont think the European French fully

respected them as they respect for instance my French African colleagues but at the end of the day

we would sit around a table and discuss it openly. After some fierce debate, most of the European

French guys would eventually warm up to the idea that someone who speaks with an accent doesn

necessarily work with an accent.

As I said before, its perfect nowhere. I suppose the trick is to find and stick with people who are wel

aware of the problems, who are open to discussion and who are willing to rock the boat. Speaking fo

myself, I say it as it is and I dont mind putting my head out for anybody I respect. If you respect

yourself youre much more likely to have others respect you.

Abagond, probably dates black women, like myself and instead of standing up for white people, he

started believing the ignorance spouted by black people obsessed with race and white people..

He might have been lowered to one these apologist, self-haters whom believe all white people areevil by nature or that white history is one to be ashamed of.

Abagond being white is nothing to be ashamed of!!!

Abagond is a good dude though..

and the lynching and a lot of the other hate crimes that whites did towards blacks getting out

and reaching foreign ears, it messed with american foreign policy.And thats when racism

became a bad thing.

ErinAs a white person, the only offense I see here is the fact you never clarified that these are

trends of behavior and thought among white populations, rather than truths about every white

person, or even most.Keep in mind that there is so much more to a person than the color of his/her skin. Someone who is

white is not necessarily someone who doesnt know what its like to be discriminated against. There

are a multitude of human experiences that shape people, color of skin and racial culture being only

one slice of the pie.

I have had so many struggles in my life that have made me insightful about what others go through.

continue to struggle in ways that no one relates to. I wish that I had a community of people who coul

sympathize with me; I wish I had a group of people like me, but I fight my battles alone.

Rebeca from Brazil@AbagondI almost laughed at read this:

They are way richer than they would have been:

They live on land taken from the American Indians.

They benefit directly or indirectly from the free labour of black slaves and, later, from the cheap

labour of blacks and other people of colour.

They get paid more for a given level of education.

Lower unemployment: they are less likely to fired and more likely to be hired even with a prison

record.

They get to live in nicer, safer neighbourhoods with better schools.They live longer: even poor whites live longer than middle-class blacks.

It helps to keep them from falling to the very bottom of society.

@Abagond, now read carefully and evict anti-white racisms:

1 Majority of whites arent richer. The riches are an small percentage.

2 The land os taken from Native Americans? Yes. By those living on it? Not. Who stolen are dead,

who has been harmed, dead as well. Their descendants are on reservation an receiving governmen

help.

3 No, whites do not benefit directly or indirectly from black slave labor, because:a) Few people can afford an black slave;

b) The whites are who mostly do charity.

c) Nicer, Safer neighborhoods and better schools, because they not try (at least not at same high

frequency as blacks and Latinos) destroy, steal, sell drugs or murder on those places they live.

d) Imagine an employer and two candidates: An Japanese and an White American. Who hell

choose? Mostly probably the Japanese!!! Because? The fame of the Japanese and many other

Asians of be very dedicated to the work! Unhappiness many blacks sell drugs, rape, murder.

instead of overcoming the past showing their prowess, stay complain most of the times of the white

people and their debt. Why not do as the Asians? Be better at work Asians done this and succee

even with the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima;

grandmothers! Have more nutrition, and is cheap even for the blacks pockets!

abagond@ Rebecca

You believe in a fairy-tale U.S.

Please tell me how white people, who fought to the death to steal Indian land and keep black slaves

who warped their whole idea of right and wrong and what it means to be human just to make such

crimes seem right and good, please tell me how they got from that to a white rule that is so fair and

so just that blacks and Latinos have only themselves to blame. Do tell.

Rebeca from Brazil@Abagond LOL! I never said about the white guilty on this. read again! I said about to not

be so blame white for everything I do wrong.

I never said to forget the past, nor to use this to everything you do wrong in your life.

An thief steal money. He past is full of racism against him? Who knows! But is simple to assume youcan do this thinking its right to steal. In the end he is arrested and go to the jail. Whites men fault??

The thief do anything to be on jail!

Need reparations? Go to welfare! If not want, please get a work (even if is few money, but is better

than the jail).

Unhappiness I walk and see many of them complaining (the same as an baby needing anyone gives

him something), instead to search an honorful job.

I not live on fairytale.

No rule (black, white, asian) has been fully just. Examples (Pol-Pot and his Red Khmer in Cambodia

Adolf hitler, Robert Mugabe, Darfur, Evo Morales, Pinochet).

No one of the above are saints!Stop using colonialism as an excuse even that is true you cannot apply today.

Come back to the real world, not your fairytale Abagond.

LOL!!!!

You seem to be:

1. Looking at blacks through stereotypes.

2. See white rule as more or less fair and just.

Neither one is realistic. They are two sides of the same coin: the stereotypes push all the blame on t

blacks, instead of finding any fault with white rule. The admitted faults and crimes of white rule are

always in the past, never in the present.

Rebeca from BrazilIm not stereotype an entire colour, Im saying abou some crybabies, they stay complaining.

I said no rule (white, black, yellow) are just. Never said how much just/injust that rules have.

Putting blame on the blacks? Abagond, again Im said about some blacks, not all them.

breath and slowly set free the air two times, calm yourself. Youre trying say to me Im not

aware or trying hide whites fault? If you are doing this, will be a shot in the void.

Slavery itself is the first flaw of the white rule! You not has seen that?

No rule is perfect, gentleman!
