I love how this site claims to be anti-racist, yet almost every article features references to “whiteness” or “white people” in a negative sense. If a site made to appeal exclusively to Caucasians were to talk about “blackness” or “black people” in a similar sense, it would be considered a hate site.
You’re not fighting racial stereotypes, you’re helping them thrive by continuing to draw lines between “white” and “black”. Yes, there are still racist whites, but there are also racist blacks, and it’s one-sided sites like this that harm the future of diversity.
If you really want racism to end, embrace the white man as your brother.
If you want to see the end of racial hatred, do no ask yourself, “What is best for black people?” Instead, ask yourself, “What is best for humanity?”
If you’re really against racism, quit drawing double-standards and living in the past. African-Americans have a horrible history in the United States, but if we want to move past that history, we need to love instead of focusing on the negative.
@Martin Luther. Your false equivalence is disgusting. Whenever the power to oppress is NOT symmetrical it is indeed necessary to point out the actors in that oppression. In regards to Racism, Whiteness, ie., the european imperialist concept invented specifically to oppress non-european peoples, is the main actor in white supremacist oppression of black and brown people.
In other words, white supremacy is alive and well and that bears pointing out. People like you who pretend that pointing it out is just as divisive or wrong as being a white supremacist/racist are either dishonest or willfully blind.
I don’t know I signed the petition at changed.org but the more I study on this man the more I’m unsure. He had black soldiers surve in his elite unit and while he had some start though this is disputed even then he claimed no connection just sympathy for the kkk in the KKK he said it was to against norterners that came down and took advantage of the south..he tryed to disband it a few years later when it got out of hand and left. He was also one of the first white speakers for the Independent Order of Pole-Bearers Association which was an organzation run by southern blacks and seems he was well recieved. He appairently hired blacks and whites equelly even when a majority of notherners wouldn’t even do that. Most historians that the pillow massacure happend though there are conflicting reports from both sides. And reports seem that quite a few blacks (over a thousand) showed up at his funeral. So if they forgave him then then isn’t that good enough…this of course is if the reports are true. I myself don’t know what to think.

@Andrea…I cannot argue with you. If you must know why refer to my statement above.
The south was right
Often times we are unable to control the actions of others. However, we can control our own actions.
