EDIT: I've been back on Imgur for 2 solid days and made FP for the first time in 3 years. Holy Shmokes.
Also, wayyyyyyyyyy too many disheartening comments. It's just a funny series of events. Whether Mexican, white, black, Asian, or whatever else, we all have "those" people in our ranks. The ones that tend to make the majority look bad. Fuck em.

What? You mean this blackmun got surgerized?

how is the first picture misrepresenting anyway? Because of his tattoos? Loads of non-thug people have those.

Why is he biting his lower lip? Makes him look shocked with a tiny mouth.
lokitoki81
He is just about to say "F*ck you brother!"

Cuz Lt. Dan told him not to get it caught on any tripwires

He ain't trying. He's succeeding! That awkward mouth pose has been my fetish since I've seen this picture.

He is trying to look "hood", looks more like a confused raptor.

They went out of their way with Treyvon Martin a few years ago, used a picture of him when he was 7. He was a thug in the rest of them.

It was a good point, in a way.. but you needn't generalise.

Blacks will never admit it's a culture problem and continue to blame everyone else. Might not be a popular fact, but it's a fact.
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
If I may throw in my two cents. I noticed this trend, and honestly it's rather enabled by white guilt and a slight bit of arrogance. 1/2
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Shown by the even slight moment you criticize another's skin color, one of you blokes is labeled a racist, a KKK member. 2/2
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
Egh, I worded that wrong, I mean when you criticize another's culture, and they happen to be another skin color.

Tazmo523
I guess thats a difference between white and black. If some white guy does something, no part of me feels like he is representing my race
OhhHaiMark
It's part of being a minority though, if they are a smaller group, they feel one represents the whole more. And so do ppl In majority too

joeyjojosharknado
Honestly, I think both the hard Left and the Right are perpetuating the racial divide and stereotyping, just in different ways.
shadycoulady
That's because white people are never represented in the media as one entity, whereas usually us browner people are made to believe we are/1

cantstopfire
That's not how any of that works ya fuckhead. Majority groups arn't necessarily labeled where as minority's groups are likely to be labeled1
cantstopfire
And characterized for stereoptypes by majority groups. Having a historically ridiculed background make them the way they are right now2
cantstopfire
Hate filled and constantly defensive of anything on he topic of race.
Jakedelholmes
That's because the news and media doesn't portray the bad white people as the majority of white. Like they do with (insert other race)
HeywouldJablowme
Why is this getting downvoted?
YamatoIouko
I would say the majority of media doesn't try to portray any race like that intentionally.

Sure, what ever helps you sleep better. History never happened.

StuntManPat
I once thought this behavior only occurred with minorities, but it's not true. Some white ppl do get embarrassed on behalf of their race 1/2
StuntManPat
Although it's a small sample size with only people I've been able to ask personally. Usually involved scenarios with true racists. 2/3
StuntManPat
There is a belief amongst a portion of minorities that all whites are racist, which is absurd. But it does invoke similar feelings for some.

That's part of where white guilt comes from: the feeling of responsibility for other whites for crimes of the past.
Brakeman97
Whites don't define themselves as "White People." Blacks claim for themselves the "Brotherhood" and their "culture." They're exclusionists.
Superking420
what a stupid thing to say
blazera
they're a very bad kind of exclusionist, they'll berate other black people for being and sounding educated, because that's the "white" way
eanfledtheelf
There is literally a group of White People called the Aryan Brotherhood.
TheSwedishCryptid
There was also a group of white people called "National Socialism" or "Nazism"
Brakeman97
Yes, there is. And I'd bet money that you've never met one in your life. I haven't. They are statistically inconsequential aren't they?
eanfledtheelf
How much money? I work in a field where I come into contact with people involved with white nationalism on a regular basis.
somerandomtwat
you cant say that all black people do that and you cant say that all whites dont that is just not true
blazera
Im gonna say like 200 times more black people follow a black culture than whites do a white culture. A very large majority.
Brakeman97
I didn't use the word "all." lots of variations among people. Yet whites rarely greet strangers with any form of "bro" or claim "styles."
xzhous
It's being used more frequently now. Forms of bro, brother, man, etc is more ubiquitous than you may think.
deranger
That's some oddly specific criteria.

Yeah I wonder where they picked that up from.. and a fraternity is excusionist. A race is not a fraternity.
AdmJota
I think it's because white people are a majority. If you see a black person, you're more likely subconsciously think of them as "a black 1/N
blazera
black people see themselves as black people. I really wish they'd give up the black culture.
deranger
How do you keep all the hairs so clean on such a broad brush?
blazera
whats the percentage of black people where you live. It's over 50% here.
deranger
It's less that 50% where I live. Does living in an area of more than 50% black people ensure that you know effectively all black people?
AdmJota
person", just because that aspect of them is distinctive and distinguishes them from the majority of people. But when you see a white 2/N
AdmJota
person, you're more likely to just think of them as "a person" (or "a tall person" or "a skinny person" or whatever), because being 3/4
AdmJota
white is more or less the default. 4/4
jo3v
As a black person, I feel the same way. Other members of my race DO NOT represent me. Good or bad, your own deeds are all that matters.
Rockageddon
You must not be American. Reality: No individual represents a race. But in the USA what you THINK of your representation doesn't matter.
jo3v
Granted, I'm not American, I'm not familiar with how individuality is processed in America. Regarding race anyway.
YamatoIouko
I wish it felt like the majority felt as you do, because you're exactly right.
Irishda
And as long as it feels like it's true, it is

Why isn't this obvious though? It's sad that its not an obvious thing.
greenbeanraneen
It's hard not to feel like my race represents me because I am constantly being made to answer for other (bad) ppls actions.
samsonguy920
Sadly there are those who would still call you an oreo for that.
jo3v
Could always be worse.
samsonguy920
Too true. But what makes it sad is there being people who feel such intent to make it worse when they should be making it better.
Bummmmblebeetuna
Unless of course you're being treated differently because of the actions of a member of your race or for no reason at all.

Race/Origin should only be considered for medical evaluation and not moral expectancy.
Bummmmblebeetuna
Agreed. But that's rarely the case unfortunately.
jo3v
Unfortunately...
TwentyTwoRandomLetters

Wurdninja
This is not true. Blaming an entire race for the actions of a few is EXACTLY how racists operate. "huh, typical" -- racist person probably
PossibilitiesToCertainties
Also note: this is true on both sides. If you are white and talk shit about 'most' blacks, or the reverse...you might be a racist.

flapperfemmefatale
Who says you have to feel guilty? I feel outrage and disgust, not guilt.

I actually don't feel outrage or disgust. It's not like slavery was a new or unique concept. It's extremely common. There are more slaves 1*

It's not really intellectually honest to dismiss the inherently cumulative effect of history. It's equivalent to denying causality.
Dicho83
No one is denying anything. I'm simply not going to feel guilt over something I was not involved with nor was even alive to affect.
Thefluffernutter
No one is asking you to feel guilty, they are asking you to recognize that the ripples of those other white people have consequences still.
Zyrixion
I also recognize that they're perpetuating their own problems, so why should I feel sorry for those that are?
Thefluffernutter
Would you go into why you believe they are causing their own problems, please?
aguacatedeldiablo
I recognize it. Now what?
Thefluffernutter
Try to counteract those ripples and have compassion for those who are feeling the effects.
Dicho83
The Huns attacking the Alans also created ripples of effect as well. Should Asian people recognize those consequences? Or do they get a pass

I'm not sure the Huns attacking the Alan's had much of an impact on institutional oppression in the US. Do you know something I don't? Hahah
