The British journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge (1989) wrote in 2014 a blog post, in which she ventilated about her frustration concerning racism in British society. This blog went viral and resulted in a book begging to be read: Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People about Racism.

Keep in mind that this oppressed black woman is privileged enough to be worth $73 million.
73 million ? Have you seen what writers earn, what's that smell? Oh its complete bull sh*t
So you wrote a book on a complicated and highly debated topic and then refuse to discuss it with anyone who disagrees?
she didn't say disagrees, it's people who refuse to accept that structural racism exists and get defensive... kinda like your gaslighting comment - honestly it's like she's speaking a different language for some of you lol
@@janvierkasra3375 "it's people who refuse to accept that structural racism exists and get defensive"
That's literally people who disagree.
"kinda like your gaslighting comment"
I am now going to politely tell you that you're a fucking idiot if that's gaslighting.
@@wibble2482 alright wibble you win! sure, refusing structural racism is not a fact but an opinion that can be disagreed with, and a stranger online is a fucking idiot! good one baby!
@@janvierkasra3375 Cry some more.
@Janvier Kasra systemic racism doesn't exist, it's not government policy to bring down black people, discrimination laws protect against such things also the fact that many people in high up public offices are non white people
Reni is an idiot who refuses to talk to anyone who disagree with her opinions, so instead of giving a good argument that backs up her claims with evidence and data she just has to say "I'm not debating someone who doesn't accept the tRuTh" it's a cop out because there is no evidence because structural racism ain't real, individual racism is real.
Refusing to discuss an issue with someone who disagrees with you is basically just admitting that you know you're wrong.
You mean avoid having a debate, as there is no evidence of structural racism? Unless of course you keep changing the definition of racism to someone who you perceive to look at you funny, or not offer you a job, or spell your name wrong?
Seems that the believing in structural racism is based on revengeful racial hatred , the bias of this hate.
Everything is racism to these bigots.
In other words: I work really hard to avoid people who might prove me wrong.
Literally 🤣
No, she experienced racism and there's proof for structural racism. This is not an opinion. But even if it was. People can have an opinion. You can read her book and have a different opinion. You can write your own book or write a comment why you disagree with her. But you are not entitled to her time to discuss you. You're not entitled to try to change her 'opinion'. You're not entitled to hear the discussing around it.
People don't have to prove their experiences. If someone experienced racism, then that's their experience. We can do things to minimize that happening to people and change things in our society. Or we don't. But it's not constructive to have a discussion 'Does racism happen?' what is the end result of that? If it's proven that it happens (which has already been proven many times), then it doesn't stop existing. You can work towards minimizing racism or choose to not do it. But you can't force other people in discussion about if their experiences are real.
@@madamelicorne581 Congratulations. You were able to write a long comment in a CZcams comment section when you could have written a much shorter one, which would have elicited this very same reaction: 🙄
I see the basic validity of a position like hers. I mean : I KNOW that there is no “structural racism” in the UK. Saying that there is flies in the face of everything I KNOW to be true. So I have decided not to waste any of my energy in future talking to Black people about racism in the UK. OK?
White people don't waste their energy debating the topic with Black people for centuries anyway. So no, not o.k.
Trying to keep the highness of Interpretation because a closet full of skeletons is uncomfortable is not o.k. trying to keep privileges and feeling that being stripped off of the is discrimination is not o.k. so well you're simply wrong with your conclusion. Just reversing hers doesn't make you right.
She needs a hobby like stamp collecting or rambling in the countryside
You are in England btw
“How to get rid of racism?
Stop talking about “race”!”
Morgan Freeman
"In order to dismantle unjust, racist structures, we must see race. We must see who benefits from their race, who is disproportionately impacted by negative stereotypes about their race, and to who power and privilege is bestowed upon - earned or not - because of their race, their class, and their gender. Seeing race is essential to changing the system."
Reni Eddo-Lodge
"Stop talking about race" would have been great advice centuries (or even millennia) ago before the racism became institutionalised.
A forest fire does not go out by ignoring it, you have to work to fight it and to prevent more.
@@path.6455 I can translate Renni Eddo Lodge’s words into this:
White people are to blame for EVERYTHING regarding racism/oppression/inequality
Black people are the innocent victims ALWAYS and deserve permanent reparation handouts from the “oppressive white man”.
If you’re a white doormat liberal then by all means bow to her rhetoric.
I’m damn well not and won’t listen to one word that race baiting woman who’s got an enormous chip on her shoulder against white people as to say.
Your daft analogy over a forest fire is not comparing like with like at all.
This is such a powerful statement, you are indeed not obliged to explain things to people who deny structural systems. That would be like providing free consulting to someone who doesn’t respect you.
This snippet is meant to be positive i think.
"I am open to people who only accept my understanding of the Western system", i think that is better for everybody involved.
"Statistacally she is right", this is the real danger. You can understand trends by statistics but not a person.
Give a white man stones, he will create a city.
Because people question your ideologies and your nonsense?! Why is she so uncomfortable with it being questioned?
Structural racism? Gimme a break.
Excellent stance, not everybody wants to be a "talking head" yes avoid at all costs, it takes up too much energy to convince the unconvinceable.
It's great that neither of us are talking to each other, totally feels like that'll accomplish something.
She sounds like a very fragile person
Victim winy mentality
Excellent advice!
Brilliant Reni. Me and my friends are proud to stand for this cause ✊🏽
Lol
Ur in the west ur family chose to come to the west u can’t expect urself to see urself every where
Reni, you handle it well. There is no point in talking to people that have set ideas and values and who just want to argue with you on maintaining their position. Let them do them and you do you and NEVER the two shall meet. It is time wasting & energy draining, so why bother. We already know the outcome!
@Golden Knight And people say that the left over-use the term "racist". Clearly, you need to find a new word, I don't think it means what you think it means.
@Golden Knight Speaking out against inequality doesn't make you racist. It never has and it never will and the definition is the same as it always has been. Fascism is a right-wing ideology whereas Marxism is the polar opposite. It's oxymoronic to claim leftists are both.
@Golden KnightThe definition of racism by sociologists and scholars has always been from a societal perspective. This definition has become mainstream due to it's relevance. It's impossible for the left to have control on speech considering the conservative government has been in power since 2010, institutions and the media also have a blatant right-wing bias. People on the right complain about being controlled by the left whilst projecting these thoughts on mainstream news outlets. It's ridiculous.
@Golden Knight Surely if the most educated within modern societies all over the world are overwhelmingly "leftists", it should tell you something about right-wing ideals and how immoral they are towards the working class and society at large.
@Golden Knight Interesting how you don't consider race to be a societal, power issue, considering even Irish people were severely mistreated, for being "not quite white". This idea and feeling doesn't just dissipate into thin air, it's been transferred.
what is she scared of?
👎👎👎👎
🙌🙌🙌
Please, avoid us, perhaps the continent of Africa would be nice for you?
She twists historical fact to back up her grotty obsession with race. UGH!
Doesn't she go on?
