(13,451 posts)You asked what I believed Black people envision when they think of humans and how their thoughts contrast with my OP's position that POC are not immediately included when many White people think of humans.
I said that I don't know but I doubted that it would be as restricted as what I believe white people think.
I said that most POC don't have the option to deny consciously or unconsciously the humanity of others. Mainly because very few can control the spaces they live in to the extent that we (WHITE FOLK) can. As an example I point out that main steam entertainment TV has fewer POC actors than Black Entertainment Television has white characters. With this satatement I am implying that the inclusion of non-POC people in a black focused program is a matter of course. Just a detail and not remarkable to the writers actors or audience.
On the other hand it is in no way remarkable to the writers actors or audience that shows on ABC CBS and NBC routinely have completely white casts and the plotlines focus on white people problems.
That was the implication I was making. That is what I implied. Again I have no idea what you inferred because I don't understand your follow up posts.
Then you argle bargle at me for a while saying I never answered your dumbass attempt to play false equivalence bingo...
And now I don't even understand WTF this post is saying.
