Reddit black man: "black people oppress themselves"
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hi folks, I am the Shameless Berg.
I hope you're doing well today.
So today I want to get into this story from Reddit, true off my chest.
Black people oppress themselves.
They certainly do.
Obligatory, I am black.
And before anyone tries to say I have a pass or something, yes, I'm clearly black.
Not one of the black people that could maybe pass for white.
None of you fucking can, okay?
There's no such thing.
That's probably just some cope that you guys talk about with each other.
We can all see it.
You still got like the bell pepper nose thing.
We can tell by your jawline and your facial structure and stuff.
None of you pass as white.
Remember, folks, half black and half white is still 100% brown.
Not only are they not oppressed, they're given all sorts of advantages and preferential treatment in society.
And they get to pretend that they're not.
Then on top of that, they get to pretend that we're the recipients of these things and we're taking them at their expense.
Somehow.
I'm thinking back to what people are saying about their oppression.
Things like they can't get the same jobs, they can't go to the same schools, etc.
But here's me.
I'm a guy with darker skin.
I hate saying I'm African American because I have never even seen Africa.
And I hate saying I'm black because I'm an arts student that did self-portraits and never used the color black besides my hair.
I follow your logic.
I get it.
You sound like, you know, a colorblind, hyper-individualistic white guy with average intelligence.
I can see where you're coming from here.
But make no mistake, you are black.
All right.
You are African.
Just like I am inescapably white and European, and I'm reminded by the collective black demographic that that's the case.
I can't get away from it.
You can't get away from it.
Not saying I hate being me, so don't get that mixed up.
I just don't like being defined by my skin tone, quote unquote, black male.
But even with my skin color and being raised in what could probably be considered the hood of my city, I speak properly.
Oftentimes people say I speak white, which I hate.
I graduated top 20 in my high school, caught senioritis real bad, and received scholarships to a very well-known, prestigious, predominantly white university that every single one of you will know if I said the name.
I am currently being paid 9,000 plus a year to go to that college.
Well, and they always do that stuff.
If you bother to speak proper English or you show an interest in any real education, they call that acting white.
Gee, I wonder why.
Why is there this sort of implicit connection between whiteness and intelligence and productivity?
Hmm, I just can't think of it.
He goes on, meanwhile, other people of my color complain that they don't have an equal chance in life.
Well, I mean, they kind of don't, okay?
You're born with certain capacities and limitations, all right?
I mean, you clearly are within the 10% of black people for whom the other 90% make look bad and stupid.
But the fact of the matter is, even though you perceive for yourself that you had a chance in life, it's because you're intelligent.
It's because you're above average in your community.
It's because you're smarter than they are, okay?
In general, they don't have an equal chance.
They don't have an equal chance either to you or to us as a collective.
And they don't want to deal with it.
Okay.
They do not want to confront it, but it's the truth.
It's the fact.
And that's why when you're trying to rise high, they want to make sure that you stay down with them.
Because not everybody can be equally raised, but everybody could be equally lowered.
It honestly upsets me.
Plenty of people in high school would just ignore the teacher and smoke in the bathroom or skip, then wonder why life is treating them unfair after.
I mean, yeah, I even remember that kind of stuff from my high school days.
I was up to no good and I had a lot of black and brown friends.
We were all up to the same shenanigans.
And guess what?
We all got in the same trouble for it.
I didn't get a slap on the wrist.
I didn't get any different consequences.
I didn't get any different outcomes.
But guess what?
Later on in life, I made a lot of different decisions and I've gotten very different outcomes since then.
And see, they also went on to make very different decisions in their own lives.
And the outcomes and output of their lives reflect those decisions.
But back when we were acting equally stupid, we got equally stupid results.
It's amazing how that works, isn't it?
And when I started to make better choices, I got better results.
And when they didn't start making better choices, they kept getting bad results.
I'm not oppressing them.
Do you see how that works?
Even with all of that said, here's the thing, and anyone is allowed to correct me as I have not actually done detailed research.
Firstly, Twitter.
This was back when it was still called Twitter, primarily.
We have all probably heard of Twitter, and many people use it, but I'm surprised to come across what's known as black people Twitter, which is the part of Twitter that has all the black people or something like that.
I'm just throwing it out there, but I don't think that a white Mexican Asian person made black Twitter.
It is not a different app, by the way, for those that don't know.
I always thought that was funny.
You'd hear the constant references, black Twitter this, black Twitter that.
Oh, black Twitter saying this.
Oh, wait till I show this to black Twitter.
All right, black Twitter doing your thing.
As though you guys created something.
As though you invented something, designed something, coded something.
You didn't.
It's just this collective hive mind of brainwashed black people.
And it's just, it's a left-wing echo chamber, basically.
Or what was black people Twitter?
A left-wing echo chamber, just dark colored.
That's all it was.
And it's also a great way for them to enjoy double think of segregating themselves while also crying about the principle of segregation and discrimination.
They really like to have it both ways, and black Twitter is a perfect example of that.
He goes on, something I've noticed these people around me do is create communities, places where all the black people stick together and do whatever.
But why is there a need to create a community?
Why is there a reason to create an entire term black people Twitter?
The honest truth is they'll say they feel like they need these safe spaces, these affinity spaces, but in my opinion, they're allowed to exist not so much for the benefit of black people, but to constantly remind white people that they're being downgraded.
Like, look, they can have these spaces, but you can't, in the name of equity.
I've seen a lot of examples like from university affinity spaces, okay?
And I would see white people raise the issue, like, why do you guys get to have a black affinity space?
We don't get to have a white affinity space.
And you would hear some stupid Shaniqua be like, yeah, that's because y'all already got everywhere else.
Everywhere else already, y'all's not everything about y'all.
We gotta have our own spaces.
Y'all got y'all own spaces.
Everywhere else, y'alls.
As though everywhere else isn't actually just a common area where all the Shaniquas and Tyrones are also free to walk around.
Just because you've entered a space and there's a lot of white people there doesn't make it a white exclusive space.
It doesn't make it a white affinity space.
You're allowed to walk right on through.
Meanwhile, we're not allowed to have our own spaces.
You know, we can't have our own affinity spaces.
You can have those things.
You can have historically black churches, historically black colleges.
You can have all these things, but white people can't have them.
It's amazing that you get to have all this, but you get to gaslight and project and have double think about it at the same time.
And I'm so fucking tired of it.
So he goes on, it's literally just Twitter and you are deciding to separate yourself from it.
By creating this space, you're essentially saying us black people are not like you and separating themselves from the rest of the people.
They're not like us though.
So let's be honest.
Like your perception here is correct.
That is the statement they're making.
But I don't think they even realize the full gravity of the statement.
They very much are not like us.
We are very, very different and it's not just skin deep, okay?
He accurately points out here.
Meanwhile, if a white people Twitter would be made, it's racist.
And so what?
Only white people allowed here.
They're separating themselves from everyone else and then wondering why they're not seen the same in the public eye.
Well, it's true.
They want to do this and then they want to cry about the legacy of discrimination, the legacy of segregation.
But as long as you do them in the name of equity, I've noticed about the left, it's like everything that I say is universally and always evil 100% of the time and it's terrible and it's awful and look how offended I am by it and the more offended I am by it, the more righteous and moral I am.
Yeah, all you fucking people.
And then want to turn around and cry to us about segregation and discrimination and all this bullshit.
You know, inclusivity.
Inclusivity.
Anywhere there's too many white people congregated in one place that's not unaccosted or unaccompanied by black people.
It's a huge fucking problem then.
Another example is me going off to college and losing touch with people I used to go to high school with because all they're doing now is smoking and throwing their life away while I'm trying to create a life for myself.
By doing that, I'm told things like, you really betraying your own kind.
I also hate because we're not some collective species.
We just share melanin.
I'm not related to you and my kind is not black humans.
You sound like a colorblind, idealistic white kid from the 90s.
I understand all that shit, but the fact of the matter is you are related to them.
You are of the same kind.
You're of the same blood.
You're of the same ancestry.
These are inescapable connections that you have with them.
All right.
Even though you're individual.
So he goes on, or when they say, why don't you just go to an HBCU and the best of all, we don't claim you anymore or call me racist names.
Amazing that they'll break solidarity with you over trying to make something out of yourself.
Isn't that incredible?
And they make it sound like we're the ones doing that to you.
Dude, I have no ill will for you.
And now I'd rather you go to Africa, of course.
If you're going to be here, I applaud you wanting to go do something with yourself.
I applaud you wanting to get education and to get into the career field and to become a productive member of society.
Okay.
I wouldn't take that from you.
I don't want to hold you down from that.
Isn't that amazing?
I'm this avowed white racist.
Okay.
And I don't want to do that.
I'm not interested in holding you back in that way.
But your brothers and the struggle are.
So what the fuck is the deal?
And can you guys stop bitching at me about it?
I mean, I'm literally being less oppressive in my stance towards you as an avowed white racist encouraging you to go do something than your brothers in the struggle are.
Isn't that incredible?
But I'm still going to have to go on hearing all this bullshit all the time about how racist and awful we are.
I mean, yeah, I'm racist, but you know, what does that really mean if I'm racist, but I still would prefer that you went on to do better things than your brethren?
Because why not?
Of course.
If you have the intelligence and the ability, please go do that.
I would much rather you be doing that than, you know, bumming around being some sort of hoodlum.
So he says, TLDR, black people divide themselves from the rest of the world and then look around in shock when they realize there's a divide between them and the world.
It's incredible, isn't it?
They do all this stuff and they wail and piss and moan and cry about segregation and discrimination and Jim Crow laws and the legacy of, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But then they'll go and do this.
Because as long as it's in the name of equity, there is absolutely nothing that they cannot and will not justify doing to you in the name of equity.
And there is no level of hypocrisy or double standards, projection, gaslighting too extreme for them to use in the pursuit of equity, equitable outcomes.
And so I think that's what you're brushing up against here, man.
You've got that hyper-individualized attitude where you're not really thinking as a part of your race.
And I get that.
I lived that way for a long time.
Your racial brethren kind of took that away from me as an option.
And now I have to think about it in these terms.
And now I kind of wouldn't go back even if I could because I've realized the truth of things.
But I can certainly comprehend your frustration here.
I understand where you're coming from.
You know, I just, I encourage you to understand that, yeah, they are your race.
They are your ethnicity.
But yeah, I mean, if you do have the ability to rise up higher than they can, then do it.
You know, they can complain all they want, but the fact of the matter is everybody cannot be equally elevated.
But the ones that are capable of rising higher, they can be brought down to be equally low.
And that's exactly what they want.
You know, I don't think they want you to escape the ecosystem of whining and crying and blaming and begging for things.
I think they want you to just be a part of that.
And I think you see that too.
And I can't blame you for not wanting to identify with it.
It makes sense to me.
But I agree with your conclusion here.
Black people oppress themselves.
I don't do it.
I have no interest in it.
You know, I just want them away from me.
You know, I want them away from me, my community, my state, my country.
I don't know.
Just, I don't get the fuck away from me.
I don't have any ill will for you, actually.
Please just go somewhere else and do better.
All right.
Just go somewhere else and do better.
I evidently have better wishes for you than your brethren do.
Isn't that funny?
