This is propaganda for division, reject it
The right side is made to point out the ludacris and divisive nature of the original graphic about "whiteness".
What's divisive about the left graphic?
That's the first neutral thing I've seen with a headline that says "WHITENESS".
The right graphic is just actually racist. That's not Black culture, it's THUG culture.
The left graphic is inherently racist by pretty much stating that you aren't black if you don't adhere to "thug" culture...the right graphic is simply pointing this out
Your statement is assuming you can't come up with another list of positives for real black culture.
Here's one: focus on respecting parents.
It's not in "Whiteness" culture as heavily as it is in (real) black culture.
Adhering to "whiteness" does not immediately leave you with the binary option of "thug."
Do you see?
I see what you're saying.
My point is- none of those things on the first graphic are exclusively "white".
But they are being painted as white, so, if you paint success as whiteness, you're inherently also stating the opposite is non-whiteness.
Of course there are other facets of culture that aren't covered by the posters.
As to your point about lack of respect for parents, I don't think that's a cultural thing that can be demarcated on racial lines either. "Thug" culture as well as progressive Marxist culture is all about ensuring that there is no family unit. Even further, I'd say it's more of a first World american thing. Looking at "black" and "white" cultures from other countries, the respect for parents is much more important. Respect for parents is present among blacks and whites, with the commonality being cultural institutions such as church or religion, not necessarily race.
Good! Now we're off the racist subject.
I still think something is being missed though-- there is no exclusivity here. I, a white person, can still respect my parents. It can still be a cultural thing.
It's just typically not a focus of white culture.
Let's take the graph even further:
Asian culture is also very successful, but it's NOT a focus on the self (as is the case of success in white culture).
It's a focus on the company, and the value you provide to the corporate entity.
Still success, but a different way of achieving it.
So back to black culture: Success is defined differently-- it's more of a focus on providing for the family.
We have three different versions of success in three different cultures:
White: self Black: family Asian: company
None inherently bad.
I think your logic is too linear. It's not just opposites.
Of course I'm generalizing greatly, but isn't that the point of infographics?
Ludicrous and divisive nature ? Can you be more specific ?
Beautiful
Oi! Do you have a loicense fo this toip of spoice, m8?
