The motives of this baiting are so transparent (oh! there I go mentioning color again) its laughable, especially so to call me racist.
Now, since ~60% of the members of this forum seem very interested in "race" relations, I have offered to have a little schooling session to bring your state into the proper decade.
Since race is just a societal construct based on physical characteristics I don't believe it to exist inherently.
Any insightful opinions from the folks that like to use history as a bludgeon rather than a textbook?
Um...black people are not made up. Maybe that helps you sleep at night, but I assure you it's not true.
He is saying it is the makeup of Arky society to hate people based only on the pigment in their skin. If Arky society would remove that predisposition I think they could really accomplish something.
Hah nice retort, but you know and I know that racism exists in many societies.
And to the person who asked if I thought black people didn't exist, that is not what I said at all. I said the idea of race itself is something that is made within the collective societal groupthink and not something that exists inherently. Just as "black" doesn't truely exist, neither does "white".
I will also not back down from saying race is based on physical characteristics, because it is. The proper description of people, if labels must be thrust upon them, is in relation to ethnic groups, which are divided based on language, marital traditions, religious traditions, essentially things much more complex than the amount of melanin in one's skin. I wanted to try and turn this into some sort of productive discussion, but one of your global mods there just tried to bait me using some poor comprehension skills. Good example there.
Your right Arthur, racism does exist, I'm black ( actually more brown, but I'm not one to quibble) and I don't like white folks, I'm sure there are some decent ones, but frankly I don't have the time to figure out which ones
they are so I just put them all in the same category. I don't trust white people like yourself especially, acting as if you've got our back when all you really want to do is control me or make yourself feel like you are the
rare enlightened one or something. I'm not stupid, and I don't need you to defend me or help me or anything else you sactimonious puke. Oh and before you make some elitest judgement about my racism, know this,
my distrust of white people comes from real world experience of getting burned, and thankfully in this free country, you nor anyone else can force me to put my hand back on the stove. I'm sure whattever degree you
have in this worthless bs. is really paying off tho.
