What is racism?

Racism is driven by destruction and never in history hasbitblead to anything but violence. There is no case in which racidm can be positive.

I would not be too sure about that. Also, as Ibhave clarified above, there is only a negative meaning to it.

If he is making the decision solely based on "race" it is just stupid. If it is based on "culture" as in values and beliefs it is just called bekng rational.

And it was always wrong.

Why is she choosing to do so exactly?

Unfortunately, I see a world of co,our-blindness to be very, very, very far away since bith Right and Left completely disregard it.

 

Sadly that seems to be more and more the case recently. We WERE headed towards it.

 

What is racism? It's something people exploit.

RACISM! (If you're arguing about it with a liberal.)

 

No, we are being HONEST.

 

It's funny that you think that is true.

 

It could be, depending on the policy, but if the choice is then made by race, it is then clearly still racial discrimination.

 

But not racism.

 

Solving such problems is why we have dictionaries. From the 1984 Webster: The notion that one's own ethnic stock is superior.

 

I don't much care for bickering over semantics. In either case it is deplorable, unjust, and irrational.

 

Liberals faced with a discussion about chicken soup, will somehow work racism into the conversation.

 

Language is much like war, whoever wins gets to write the history. Much of this is going on with the woke left as they attempt to re-write history and the language.

I do understand the way most people use the term racism, but this isn't its only meaning.

 

It is perfectly ok. Whatever do you think it isn't?

 

Different races have different cultures. Within race, you have different sub-cultures. This doesn't mean that a person of race A can not be raised in the culture of race B and but very similar to race B, but it happens to be the case that people tend to stay among their own race. If this mixing continues over time, perhaps it will get to the point where everybody is pretty much the same and we will lose a very important degree of human diversity.

Unfortunately, most people have been conditioned to view race only in terms of the popular notion of racism. If you look at race through the lens of an anthropologist, then will see that there are other didactic methods to view the same. Each race is very different for all kinds of reasons and these differences bring diversity to the human experience.

If you do not believe this is the case, perhaps you might invite a native person from Nigeria, Sweden, Alaska, China, Ecuador, Japan, Croatia, and New York CIty over to your place and have a couple of beers. Although all of these people have all the potential of everybody else, they are different because they come from very different places with different languages, cultures, mores, and practices.

 

I think the biggest issue is how socially acceptable it is to be openly racist against white people without any care for the consequences. Why? Because their are none. We have many politicians, pundits and members of academia who freely spout highly racist propaganda and still have jobs. It’s amazing.

 

Racism is the oppression by the dominant ethnic group in any particular society, of all other ethnic groups. The dominant ethnic group in our society is white Christians (males, depending on the context). Easy as that. If a black baker denies service to a white person because of their skin color, that's prejudice. Not racism.

White supremacists have been trying to change this for the last few decades, especially by know white nationalists like Sean Hannity, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Rush Limbaugh.... First they started referring to prejudice by other minorities against whites "reverse racism". Now they want to change the meaning of the word "racism". Will they be successful? Who knows... Language does have a tendency to evolve. But, if they succeed, you now know where the movement originates and who you are catering to when you adopt this artificial definition. This idea would have been considered ridiculous a couple of decades ago. But mass right-wingnut media has managed to implant the idea in the minds of the most gullible.

A side note: CRT is an academic framework that holds that racism is exclusively systemic. From that framework, ALL negative attitudes of one ethnic group against another are prejudice, and not racism. So it depends on the framework you are using. I think the CRT approach is much more useful in understanding the problem.

BTW, there is NO such thing as "race".

Because after what you just said, your opinion doesn’t matter.

 

For decades it was acceptable to be openly racist against blacks, so you guys can dish it out but you can't take it.

 

You guys had Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell (all thankfully dead) with shows of their own kind for years, you have Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, former Rep. Steve King, and currently Ron DeSantis and Marjorie Taylor Greene openly being okay with white supremacists.

Oh noes? won’t someone think of the white people?!?!

 

And in the OTHER corner... Rev Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Maxine Waters saying white males are the source of all evil!

 

Again, won’t somebody think of the white people?!?!

 

OPPRESSORS!!!!!! RACISTS!!! Without them... left wing radicals wouldn't have much to whine and cry about, burn down cities about... or shoot at them at baseball practices!!!

 

What does "race" even mean? I do not think race is a valid concept and I certainly do not afgree "people tend to stay with their own".

Lol, White Nationalist spotted.

Do not try to justify your racism with science. That is an old and very boring trick.

These are different races now? Lol.

Furthermore, the only thing that would result in is realising we are not that different at all.

Those places are not that different at all.

 

Is that the best you can do?
