And people can criticize that choice.
And people can criticize that choice.
My assumption would be the purpose is to shame people.
If an out of group individual is racially prejuice towards an in-group individual… They are being racist by definition. They are being racially prejudice. They are making judgements of another based on race. That fits the most clear cut definition of racism.
You are a bigiot. That’s the choice you’ve made. Your attempts at justification by diverting to sociological discussions doesn’t change this. At all.
Also you’re wrong from a sociological perspective… Because you know there’s something called intersectionality. That minorities races actually can, and do have power, and privilege, and that white people can be oppressed. You know this, so why are you bullshitting me right now?
Because you’re a bigiot.
✌️
You think I’m invalidating certain experiences by excluding them; I think you’re invalidating certain experiences by including them
One of these is oppression, the other is not.
I stopped and nothing changed, please advise.
Singling out straight white men… so progressive!
I’m not saying racism doesn’t happen on an individual level; quite the opposite. I’m saying the systemic and social oppression cannot be extricated from the individual level. And that’s why it’s not the same thing for a white person as it is for a black or brown person, when those are the in-group vs out-group respectively.
This is a crazy idea, but how about we just call out racism as a whole instead of having arguments about how racism towards whites isn’t racism.
Like holy fuck, you are wrong. You DID say racism doesn’t happen on an individual level.
Sure is. But “White” is prejudice at worst, not racism. Racism includes the inherent power dynamics and systemic racism against minorities.
☝️☝️☝️ That’s you! That’s your initial comment in this discussion.
In all honesty you’re better composed, and clearly smarter then me, but you’re either disingenuous, or caught up in your own BS, because your position is wildly inconsistent. When you start saying things like “it’s white prejuice at worst” that should be a sign to take a step back.
Anyways… Soo um… I guess if you don’t believe in the influence of actions on the individual level, you also don’t believe in grass roots, or the civil rights movements over the past 100 years?
That comment makes me feel like I was the only one bringing that to this conversation, and you are simply engaging with it from a “I’m right” perspective without even a consideration that your perspective may not be entirely right. Am I reading that right?
YOURE FUCKING RACIST. Cockroaches deserve to be exposed. You are lucky for how polite I’ve been, and that I’ve taken the time to help you stop being fucking racist. People like yourself are undoing the progress we’ve made as a society, because like every fucking other arrogant prick, you think you can balance the scales without any consideration for the greater implications.
Fuck totalitarians.You undermine the foundations of what it means to be human like every other dictator because you can’t see past your own fucking goals.
I think you’re scum. Straight up.
Also heads up… trying to gatekeep the term systemic racism is systemically racist. Sooo… Seems like you have no problem with the structures of racism when it’s beneficial towards your goals.
And of course I have fucking doubts. Maybe Marxism is the way… But I have zero faith.
What’s the point of replacing one sham system with another?
Unfortunately they have to prove it, but won’t be able to… Because you know… They’re wrong.
I’m not the one with a world view that distinctly separates races into different social classes.
People like yourself think “If only I was in control”. I think you’re no better then any other totalitarian.
Right, but then you wouldn’t be able to dismiss OPs concerns. OP wasn’t talking about systemic racism, they were talking about the common understanding of racism.
The purpose is to muddy the waters.
Except now you’re telling me gravity only applies to people of colour.
And in your own analogy, you don’t deny that gravity is a force. You don’t deny that gravity makes things go down.
Racism as in racial prejudice is still a thing. No one has discovered some fundamental force that stops racial prejudice from being a thing. What you’ve done is started to view everything through class structures while denying racism can operate on an individual to individual level. That’s not reality, that’s just Marxism.
Social sciences, and dictionaries are two seperate things. No one is arguing that dictionaries replace social sciences, what people are saying is the common definition still stands.
As you already know, there is knowledge beyond the confines of the dictionary
Yet dictionaries still exist, and their definitions don’t become invalid just because you want to avoid criticism.
Ah yes… the people calling out the racism are the issue. Very logical.
Calling someone privileged is not judging that someone, it’s judging how society treats them.
Adding layer of obfuscation doesn’t make it not a judgment.
Also, as I said elsewhere: rightwing assholes are intentionally diluting the severity of racism by using it inappropriately all the time.
Maybe stop saying racist things?
Just to save you some headache, the people arguing racism requires power structures are Marxists, they view everything through class structures, and don’t acknowledge that racism can occured at the level of individuals.
Oh I’m well aware of the attempt to redefine racism to avoid accountability.
Wait until you hear about X-Men.
