Racism isn't necessarily incorrect

[Leinad Sotam]

But we all come from different places and experiences.

That's true, but in the first place, we all come from the same seed.

what the hell did I just read?

Of course that races differs from each other. Im not saying about single people, becuace you could find white person that runs faster than black person, but in general it is true.

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

I agree to an extent. The problem comes that with defining seperation people feel the need to prove that one is better than the other.

Ego always gets in the way of logic, even in some of the posts in this thread. People have to learn to set it aside and think clearly.

OP trying too hard to justify his racism.

Just move along people.

Did you read what he said? He said that races, in general, differs from each other. Which is true, whether you like it or not. He didnt say that one race is better than other. Its sad how political correctness brainwashed people.

Racism is an act of discrimination, that's how the word is used for years by about every people who knows the word.

No need to sugarcoat it, if you wanna point out there are racial differences you can use another term instead of the word we use for a brand of hatred and/or discrimination.

Nobody (decent people) says "nazism is not always incorrect" when they want to say they are against zionism. This is not nit-picking or political correctness; this is acknowledging how certain words are used and what do they direct in our minds because we think and communicate through words. Words give us mental images.

The reason i made that post is OP is likely to be someone who have been called out for his racism in past; or atleast saw that some of his opinions and acts can match the definition of racism on general basis. Thus he tries to strip himself away from the hate part by justifying his acts/opinions through twisting the word of racism, because racism defines his acts/opinios and it is a negative term.

Pride made dis racism in the first place lol.

 

[Funky Tiger]

thinking that others are different from you doesnt make you racist, thinking that others are inferior to you because they are different makes you racist.

you, op, on the other hand are a dumbass who thinks you know shit because you watched a youtube video of some random dude.

Lack of understanding of definitions lead to this thread. Smh...

I gave the actual definition. When you use the term racism, the term you are actually looking for is discrimination

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.

Here you go bub. Add that definition to your word bank and I'll let you figure out what word it matches with.

You say "over simplified". It's not simplfied looking at races as groups instead of as individuals.

I've already conceded that individuals aren't necessarily better or worse than those of other races but can be anything they want to be.

But why when help is provided to the black community(affirmative action, college grants/scholarships) is it awarded to all instead of just awarding it on merit of individual achievement? Is it possible that because the overall intellegence superiority of other groups(not individually you would think i wouldn't have to keep saying this but you keep trying to bring this argument back to individuals) that the wealth gap would increase due to actually awarding jobs and scholarships based on merit as opposed to awarding them to races as a whole?

Thats the point im trying to make... in athletic fields athletic blacks tend to do better and nothing is done about it, but If whites (as a whole not indivually) do better in studies and intellegence fields, then excuses are made(white privilege) and those gains are taken from them by the government.

So what about any other scholarship that is for groups of people :lol. You're focusing on one group of people, but there are so many other scholarships out there.

Wait so what should be done to blacks in athletic fields?

What does the government take from whites for being intelligent? When did people make excuses for whites getting good grades :lol. If anything it happens more for blacks. If a black kid manages to get a 4.0 GPA in high school, all of a sudden his classes were not hard enough. His classes were not equal to that of a white kids. He has black privilege doesn't he?

literally nobody ever says that a blacks classes weren't hard enough, that kid is usually applauded and should get into a great college.

What is taken from whites by the gov't? Jobs/grants/scholarships... haven't you been listening?

Name one college scholarship for being a white male... don't worry ill wait.

as for what should be done in black athletic fields; nothing. they are successful because overall they are better. Let them be better, and don't make excuses for my people as to why we aren't doing as good. Don't make up special positions in the NBA or NFL just for a white guy who isn't up to par, but does "alright" for a white guy

There was a scholarship a few years ago specifically for white men that gained a lot of attention. Can't remember the name of it, but they were not racist, and did not accept money from racists(KKK and other white supremacists). The government didn't stop it so...?

What jobs are taken? Whites are still the highest earning group by far.

What positions were made for a white guy? :lol. Both sports were originally white men sports that black men learned and got better at.

More Thomas Sowell. He didn't really put up much of an argument. Just displaced the blame of AA 'not working'.

whites are also the highest number in population. Go figure they are they most represented. Must be that white privilege

to suggest that no white jobs are taken by affirmative action(even though thats it's job) makes you ignorant

As for Making up a white position. That's me hypothetically paralleling the white athletic ineptitude to that of you blacks being given places in colleges they may not necessarily get into without special treatment.

you act as if sowell isn't a credible source. That he doesn't actually back up his claims with statistics.

really though disprove him if he's so non-credible

As if I provided no other evidence to the suggested topic.

Based on the definition of racism recognizing differences is exactly what makes you a racist

The problem is that you are using an outdated word such as "racism". Scientist have already proven that "Race" does not actually exist. What you are describing is stereotyping based off ethnicity or regional differences in america.

[video=youtube;RK3sguRWYK0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK3sguRWYK0[/video]

But you using racism to describe race is like Nicolaus Copernicus trying to explain his theory of Heliocentrism to a 21 century audience. It is an outdated and pre-modern way of thinking.

Not an attack by the way, just trying to bring enlightenment. You should find the correct terminology to describe the privilege or ethnical treatment that you are trying to describe.

Also, In a statement you made earlier about caucasian's not getting scholarships, that is false. There are multiple institutions that give caucasions scholarships for attending Historically Black Colleges (as they call themselves) such as Norfolk State University, Howard University, North Carolina A&T, Florida A&M, and many more.

From a unique perspective racism makes you more human. The fact is we discriminate every day of our lives. When we pick the clothes we're going to wear, we've discriminated against all the other ones we have. When we decide we like pizza more than mcdonalds we've discrimated aswell. When we decide we're going to cheer for a certain sports team we've discriminated again. Racism is nothing more then a person stating their preference of race, of course everyone is biased toward what most resembles them or represents who they want to be.

there's no such thing as time either as long as we're splitting hairs
