Racism under the name of 'racial equity' is still just that: Racism.

So you don't understand the difference between racism and discrimination.

 

Racism is discrimination. Stop finding work arounds for the perpetuation of old evils.

 

No its not.

 

This in a nutshell. I find it funny that a country that says it wants to move beyond racism, cannot help but be inherently racist. It simply has to change the targets every 50-100 years.

 

It would appear a substantial number of our fellow citizens think the same way as well. Either they are being willfully ignorant or deliberately spiteful looking to have an uneven society in favor of the "other side". Which won't solve any problems at all.

 

I'd say this link shows the failure of the American Government. You mean to tell me our government has passed numerous civil rights acts, and there are still complaints? Perhaps then there is a different problem that the force of government cannot fix. And I agree with that. The people themselves have to be willing to adapt to a society, they have to see themselves as neighbors and contemporaries. And no discriminatory policy of any nature can solve that.

 

It's not that funny though. It's vile.

 

Let me ask you this .. have you ever actually thought any of this through? Extrapolated? Worked through the mental exercise of changing the 'victims du jour' to get a clearer view of the grotesque error you're making?

 

Are you actually sayin white folks ain't had the advantage all these years?
You right....your history teacher failed you miserably

 

Nice convoluted logic by you....pity it doesn't cut it in reality. Bottom line; laws can be passed but there will always be an unlawful/criminal element with a mindset to do injustice to others for personal satisfaction or gain. One of the reasons the current GOP is trying so hard to reverse Civil Rights laws, treat corporate entities with the rights of an individual human being, and enforce states rights over any federal accountability is so that certain people do NOT enjoy "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" or have a system that looks out for the "general welfare of the people". That's why you still have "red lining", job discrimination, anti abortion mandates by various states, tax breaks for the wealthy, tax breaks for outsourcing corporations, etc. One shudders to think what bizarre world we would live in without the aforementioned laws.

The "reverse racism" screed by factions of our society is just another attempt to put us back to a "Jim Crow" existence. Ever since that early 1990's NY Times article came out stating that by 2040 whites would be an American minority, and that "whites" were actually a global minority, a lot of folk just ain't been right. A pity.

 

Irrelevant. Next time around the Whites compromised today, will claim discrimination and you'll have to do it all again .. endlessly cycling the victims you keep creating with endless discriminations in the name of 'balance'.

SOMEONE has to be unracist enough to end it. Usually that's the grown ups, when kids get caught in a terminal loop of animosities.

 

How did you possibly conceive that from what was written? Don't respond until you rub some brain cells together.

 

Definition of racism


1: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Definition of discrimination


1a: prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment racial discrimination
b: the act, practice, or an instance of discriminating categorically rather than

Yep two different things.

 

You're really determined to perpetuate institutionalised racism, ain't ya. You can find workarounds to your hearts content (which is apparently pretty easy to do, given your apparent heart), but it will still be a perpetuation of racism. ANYTHING predicated upon race is racist, because in favouring one race it denies another. It's an endless cycle of evil. Nothing will ever 'balance' when every attempt creates another round of imbalance.

 

Nope, sorry your the one doing that not me.

 

Balderdash. We have a long way to go before things are balanced. Once they are, maybe those who were wrongly discriminated against, lynched, tortured, enslaved, and generally prohibited from participation as full US citizens will turn the tables. Whatcha think? Would you blame them if they do? I wouldn't.

Nobody really cares about this - in a bad way, that is. Except maybe...???

 

And when those who will be compromised by this 'balancing' demand the same consideration down the track, you'll have to do it all again. Into infinity.

Just admit you can't stand the thought of ending racism.

 

Horsepucky. Anything else?

 

Are you, or are you not, FOR the favouring of individuals according to race? If you are, that's where the buck stops.

Every racist who ever lived had a 'very good reason' for his racism. You could come up with the World's Greatest Reason, and it would still be racism.

It has to ****ing stop.

 

Why do you keep posting nonsense? You are either ignorant of racism or just trolling. Go interrogate someone else. Try it on some youngin' that hasn't seen a reverse racism bunched panty party. Do you think your argument is new or something?

 

Are you terribly upset at having this latest iteration of racism exposed for what it is? Do you freak out when the excuses are shown for what they are (excuses)? Do you hate being reminded that every act of racism is justified by those perpetrating it?

 

Who weren't what?

 

Discrimination based on race is by definition racism.

 

No its not.

 

Yes it is, it cannot be other wise unless one believes in a wholly irrational world.
