I visit here from time to time and usually find the comments more interesting than the article because it tends to expose certain tendencies that I believe you and a few others have noted. I don't mean this as a sleight to Macon D. I do believe he deserves some Kudos for at least the effort in posting. There is the chance that this location gets a dialog going amongst people you may normally not talk about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-33255807644573449902008-09-15T19:42:00.000-07:002008-09-15T19:42:00.000-07:00runawayfred & white trash academic:I honestly ...runawayfred & white trash academic:<BR/><BR/>I honestly don't know how to respond to the accusation that we are "concern trolls", as we are probably working from completely different worldviews. From the definition runawayfred linked, you perceive us as pretending to be allies of Macon D, but are actually for the other side. I can only speak for myself, but I am not on Macon D's side or anybody's side. <BR/><BR/>Now if you are equating Macon D's side with antiracism, then the implication that we are pretending to be antiracists but are actually anti-antiracists (i.e. racists) who are trying to prevent white people from learning about racism and white privilege is too wacky to be offensive. If you actually think this—that we are trying to prevent white people from learning about racism and white privilege—then I can only shake my head. I'm going to risk being perceived as a paranoid PoC and suggest that <EM>within the white racial frame</EM>, the white antiracist symbolizes the epitome of antiracism, because (i) antiracists of colour are seen as disruptive and creating racial tensions (while the white antiracist is seen as constructive and building bridges); and (ii) antiracists of colour are seen as fighting racism for personal benefit (while the white antiracist is seen as completely selfless). Since Macon D is a white antiracist, you people are unable to consider the possibility that there can be people who are more antiracist than Macon D, that people who disagree with the white antiracist are not necessary working against antiracism itself.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is no need to think of antiracists in terms of ranking (and a conceptual model that places antiracists on a linear scale is too simplistic), but if you people actually think that we are stealth anti-antiracists because we are not on Macon D's side, maybe you have a problem with understanding that there are more than two sides to an issue. It is not the case that "if you are not with Macon D, you are against antiracism." Apparently, the tendency to reduce complex/nuanced positions that you don't fully understand as being on the enemy's side is not limited to political conservatives.<BR/><BR/>By the way, accusing people of being "trolls" is a form of silencing dissent, since once we are labelled "trolls", anything we say afterwards is considered insincere and motivated by some hidden agenda. Yes, there are such things as trolls, but please exhaust all other possibilities of why people would disagree with Macon D before reaching for the intellectually lazy rationale that reduces your cognitive dissonance.<BR/><BR/>Finally, calling people "trolls" is quite off-putting, and makes me want to not come back to this blog, which may be your intention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-14762314709965962252008-09-15T14:30:00.000-07:002008-09-15T14:30:00.000-07:00Nquest, I get what you're saying; here's the last ...Nquest, I get what you're saying; here's the last word on the points you're raising again and again, unless White Trash Academic has more to add (I'm not trying to speak for her here).<BR/><BR/>You may not see each of the folks in this video expressing various sorts of fear of McCain, but I do (in addition to their expressions of approval of Obama's differing policies). You wrote, "Stephanie Marushia described herself as a veterans issues voter," and that she's therefore not voting for Obama out of fear of McCain, but I do interpret that as fear of McCain, because, obviously, she fears what a McCain Administration would do to, and not do for, veterans. My larger point is that the video is about those fears, and not about the white elephant in the room, racist fears of (or as a lot of white folks would now describe them, "reservations about") black people. If you disagree on this point, then neither one of us will convince the other that he's wrong.<BR/><BR/>I'm not projecting "fears of electing a black president" onto the people in the video. I'm saying (in line with a guiding, repeated, working presumption of this blog) that being "white" in America means having racist thoughts and yes, fears, instilled in oneself. I believe it's safe to assume that few if any of the white folks in this video have undergone much if any sort of the untraining that it would take to overcome such (often unconscious) racist fears. I know what becoming white in America entails well enough to know that it's not a "wild" assumption to say that at least some of the folks in this video, and a lot of Republicans who vote for Obama, and even a lot of Democrats who do so, will have to overcome their racism--their latent or overt fears of black people, and thus of a black president--to do so.<BR/><BR/>All right then, you boiled down your verbiage into two points in your most recent comment, and I've addressed those. I've also added to the post the link that you pointed out is missing.macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-34012926048476473172008-09-15T12:36:00.000-07:002008-09-15T12:36:00.000-07:00@White Trash AcademicYou have not taken my point a...@White Trash Academic<BR/><BR/>You have not taken my point and you keep acting like you can't address the fact that Macon was saying "these people exist" within the 5 white people in the video.<BR/><BR/>So deal with the CONTENT of what I've said and explain what it is that you or at least some of your pro-Obama acquaintances have done or used to submerge your anti-black racial prejudice. That's what we're dealing with here.<BR/><BR/>Macon insisted that at least some of the people in the video harbored racial prejudice and must be submerging said prejudice. <BR/><BR/>Notice how the title and main idea of Macon's thread is NOT "[stuff white people do] allow their prejudice to stop them from voting for someone black." No, the title and main idea, THE CONTENT I CONTENDED WITH, had to do with Macon's wild ASSUMPTIONS that there is some overriding "fear" factor -- McCain's warmongering/advancing Bush policies -- that explains why Whites are voting FOR Obama when they, at least some of them, would otherwise NOT vote for a Black candidate due to race-prejudice that they have "submerged" given the war and economic reality that trump their prejudice in this situation.<BR/><BR/>Your comments to me were and remain irrelevant because you have not and failed to address the context and CONTENT of what I said as I took issue NOT with some imagined generalizations you accused me of accusing Macon with (YOU WERE WRONG) but with the bogus ASSUMPTIONS Macon made ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO, etc.<BR/><BR/>Once you started talking about people who were not in the video, you were NOT addressing what I said. Again, this is what Macon had to say about THE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO:<BR/><BR/><B>if these border-crossing Republicans are really going to vote this new way, one of the things that at least some of them will have to overcome about themselves is their racial prejudice.</B><BR/><BR/>Now address that CONTENT. While you're at it, address this CONTENT:<BR/><BR/><B>What this sardonically named white blogger hopes for is that the possibility of McCain's continuation of Bush's disastrous policies will scare a lot of white people who normally wouldn't vote for a black candidate into doing so.</B><BR/><BR/>Full disclosure: It appears that Macon intended to post a specific link to the Bitter White Folks For Obama blog but didn't. The ABOUT ME section on the blog and, indeed, the name of the blog itself echoes the non-partisan, failed government sentiment Obama expressed when he made his comment about politicians, Republican and Democrat, who failed to deliver policies for rural Americans but instead used wedge issues including guns and religion/culture war issues to gain their votes. Nothing in that ABOUT ME section was premised on the "fear" factor Macon created-and-inserted and Macon failed to quote anything from A Bitter, Bitter Man that indicated such a "fear" factor.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Again, I took issue with Macon's post on two counts which had everything to do with the CONTENT which revealed: <BR/><BR/>(1) his assumption-assertion that party jumpers made the move out of "fear" and <BR/><BR/>(2) his assumption that "some of them", some of those people from an already small, self-selected group, just have to have some racial prejudice that they have to get over...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-5142816585084510002008-09-15T12:30:00.000-07:002008-09-15T12:30:00.000-07:00JW is a moron, sorry....JW is a moron, sorry....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-18571527201911182152008-09-15T11:17:00.000-07:002008-09-15T11:17:00.000-07:00Okay, I am going to do something that I have never...Okay, I am going to do something that I have never done on a blog's comments section, because I have always found it to be silly, but I am going to "co-sign" the comments of runawayfred (on 9/15 at 6:08 AM) and white trash academic (on 9/15 at 6:55 AM).redcatbikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645491470348404443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-88075419396646811442008-09-15T08:06:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:06:00.000-07:00>How about the content?!Yes I agree, Macon shou...>How about the content?!<BR/><BR/>Yes I agree, Macon should finally come up with content without assumptionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-52683140973100225862008-09-15T08:04:00.000-07:002008-09-15T08:04:00.000-07:00RAF>The three of you might think you're bei...RAF<BR/>>The three of you might think you're being helpful with your "concern," but your unrelenting negativity is anything but. It drives people away (which may well be your intent).<BR/><BR/>It's not my intention to be 'helpful'. But driving people away would be a good thing, the less people read this subtle racist blog the better it is.<BR/><BR/>My, you know, for me this blog is also something like learning about the powerful dynamics of subtle racism and how "so-good-whites" are able to create their safe space with people defending each other.<BR/>It is this defending just to defend, this group dynamic of destructive power of white supremacy. This blog is a perfect example how that works and how people who try to combat this subtle racism are being treated by those who believe they are in power. <BR/>Not those who do the mistakes (Macon) are those who are blamed, but those who uncover the truth. <BR/>Of course uncovering the truth isn't wanted within a system of white supremacy, it's not about the patience Macon has with us, but the real issue is that victims of racism are being forced to 'have patience' with people like Macon and his friends. This is white supremacy in action, in front of your nose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-15014756264302913252008-09-15T06:55:00.000-07:002008-09-15T06:55:00.000-07:00Thank you runawayfred.

I hope they take the time to look up the definition of "concern troll." <BR/><BR/>@jw- "You like to educate others, but you refuse to truly listen." This is one of the first things you said. Isn't this dismissive? If you have valid points about the post, they tend to get lost when you say things like this. Oh, yeah, you also tried to derail the thread with Troy Davis<BR/><BR/>@nquest - point taken with addressing assumptions - but the fact remains that these people do exist, whether they are on this video or not and that is absolutely relevant - so, you could have addressed both the assumptions and the content of the post<BR/><BR/>@restructure - read the definition of "concern troll" - once again, your point about white liberals is valid but there is no way that you could have read jw's post and concluded that he was bringing up academic points for discussion <BR/><BR/>There are people who will not vote for Obama because he is black. This is a FACT. <BR/><BR/>You may have problems with the way that Macon framed the discussion. <BR/><BR/>My problem is that this is a pattern in discussions about race in the blogosphere..derailed with tone, derailed with the way the discussion was framed, etc. How about the content?!TLCastlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620049442846287591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-62483990512417863732008-09-15T06:08:00.000-07:002008-09-15T06:08:00.000-07:00Ha.

You're <A HREF="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=concern+troll" REL="nofollow">Concern Trolls</A>. Another helpful feature of the this blog is Macon's exemplary displays of patience with y'all. Sometimes I wonder, though, why he puts up with it. The three of you might think you're being helpful with your "concern," but your unrelenting negativity is anything but. It drives people away (which may well be your intent).

People who can understand white privilege and abuse this wp again to "educate" and lecture other white people who are simple-minded enough to believe these self-declared "teachers". <BR/>Critical people aren't welcomed and the more they are trying to silence us or try to diminish us with the attempt, that other whites will side with them and against us, the more they prove us right. <BR/>Calling us "trolls" despite the facts we offer tells all about them.<BR/>I am tired of white people like that with their racism and bigotry and their abuse of white supremacy for their own sick ego.<BR/>But this also explains, sadly, the white silence when it comes to serious issues. It's not a lack of empathy, it's white entitlement without any interest to change anything. <BR/>Macon still didn't change his "handshake post", this is telling and no surprise, I think he 'can't'. His white mindset makes it impossible for him to truly listening and learning. People like Macon don't understand that it is not about "untraining", but about truly living. People like Macon live the double-identity so many Europeans learn to live, not having the courage to be true to oneself. Trying to display another self than they actually are.

So I have no idea why you informing me about who you were referring to is relevant to me.<BR/><BR/>And it's funny how you provided more support for that than you did your claim that Macon wasn't making "generalizations" I never accused him of making. <BR/><BR/>I took issue with his ASSUMPTIONS which had to do with the people in the video. So when Macon says:<BR/><BR/><B>It's their fears of McCain, you see, that have pushed them into being traitors to their party</B><BR/><BR/>Then my "accusations" about what Macon said ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO are warranted and correct.<BR/><BR/>I guess you can say Macon did GENERALIZE and take the testimony of 1 out of 5 White Republicans in the video to concoct this FEAR scenario but I actually address his inaccuracy from the standpoint of him making untenable ASSUMPTIONS. <BR/><BR/>Also, the fact that you know people who want vote for Obama because of his race says nothing about this rather self-selected group of people in the video or those like the blogger, A Bitter, Bitter Man. For the party jumpers, in particular, they've already shown that they are, somewhat, atypical people. That alone would suggest that they probably don't hold typical views which possibly include views regarding the "fear" of a Black president. And the fact that they are atypical makes your reference to people you know even more beside the point.<BR/><BR/>Notice you didn't say everybody you know have said they won't vote for Obama because he's black. What Macon actually conveyed in his post is that you and White people you know who have said they will vote for Obama, at least some of ya'll have some submerged racial issues.<BR/><BR/>So, Macon just knows that you or one or more of those pro-Obama people you know (if you know any) are hiding some kind of racial prejudice, some racial issue you have with the idea of a black person being president.<BR/><BR/>That's what he said.<BR/><BR/><B>if these border-crossing Republicans are really going to vote this new way, one of the things that at least some of them will have to overcome about themselves is their racial prejudice.</B> <BR/><BR/>So, out of the 5 white Republicans in the video, Macon is banking on one or more of them having some kind of racial prejudice they will have to overcome.<BR/><BR/>Macon just knows "some of them" have relevant racial prejudice(s) they will have to overcome.<BR/><BR/>So, I've taken issue with Macon's wild ASSUMPTIONS on two counts: his assumption-assertion that party jumpers made the move out of "fear" and his assumption that "some of them", some of those people from an already small, self-selected group, just have to have some racial prejudice they have to get over...<BR/><BR/>There is no way he knows that and there is no way for you or him to defend those baseless assumptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-67430104278681211192008-09-14T17:24:00.000-07:002008-09-14T17:24:00.000-07:00I am so impressed by your level of patience/engage...I am so impressed by your level of patience/engagement with trolls..<BR/><BR/>@nquest - I actually wasn't referring to the people in the video at all.

Writing to that board and signing petitions to it seem pointless now (though maybe not?), but this site is one to watch for updates.<BR/><BR/>jw, you're not answering some of my questions either.

For one thing, while my white anti-racist identity clearly differs from what you think it should be, it's not a pretense.<BR/><BR/>Do you have anything positive to say? For instance--the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles refused on Friday to postpone or overturn Davis' sentence. The next step in the appeals process, as <A HREF="http://publicbroadcasting.net/wabe/news.newsmain?action=article&ARTICLE_ID=1364158§ionID=1" REL="nofollow"> I understand it</A>, is the U.S. Supreme Court, but that court "doesn't come back into session until after Davis's scheduled execution," and it "rarely makes early interventions." So what in particular do you think people should do now? What are you doing about now, aside from complaining about how I write my blog?macon dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07795547197817128339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-528074983146803930.post-14821851499153269152008-09-14T07:38:00.000-07:002008-09-14T07:38:00.000-07:00you have the nerv to tell me "what a coincidence",...you have the nerv to tell me "what a coincidence", just to safe your clearly white mindset.<BR/>Troy Davis will be executed on September 23 and you talk about "I will post it soon".<BR/>I hope that your reasearch won't take too much time.
