I hate to burst your conception, about President Obama Dr. Silva ,but the reason he won the election is because he is Black. By putting him in office was a token of peace, as the Native Americans would say, "we offer you peace pipe". He was the peace pipe. Why do you think so many whites voted for him? He is the peace pipe.He is the ultimate apology for slavery. It worked, he won! Americans pushed slavery under the rug. Memory is still there electing Obama is suppose to help us forget.
The only group of people in AMERICA that had the same struggle is as the Black American is the Native Americans. Everybody else needs to stop lying. If other races had to suffer as the black man did, he couldn't take it! So if you feel that the Hispanic suffered as the Blacks ans Native American, then he lie and the truth is not in them! Go seek the facts!
I love it, because people really think racism is in the past. He has hit the nail on the head! I really love it! This is the greatest Black History gift to all of us! What get me people can really be racist and at the same time claim they are not! I disagree; Hispanics do get the jobs, and when they do they make dam sure a Black has no chance. And I wish people stop trying to compare their struggle with that of the Blacks, it doesn't even come close. No body struggle is like the Black one!
Having a hard time understanding this because of the audio quality :/ I wish I could because we are reading from Silva in my soc class and he sounds like an awesome dude.
Personally I disagree, and I don't see what's privileged about calling racism psychologically rooted. I'm the son of an immigrant whose livelihood was very harshly antagonized by a social cesspool of white people where we lived. I think this racism was psychologically founded.
I'm not saying that imbalance of material wealth doesn't exist or isn't a problem, but I think it is symptomatic of a collective racist mindset and not the manifestation of racism itself. I vote to let the white guy talk.
I found the survey data and the speaker's commentary very interesting and enjoyable, but I thought it was a shame the way the audience stared uncomfortably (especially at 1:17:54) at the older gent with a marginally contrary question at the end. The stares seemed to corroborate his idea that race issues are psychological first and material later.
@HelterMcSkelter Psychological first and material later? The white guy's privileged position and his defense of the privileged point of view is what caused the personal discomfort. Take away the vast racial inequality and domination in society and suddenly his question is a lot less controversial.
