Racism is believing your "race" is superior. Since I know that we are all one race I am not racist. The problem I have with the Eurocentric point of view is that it was cultivated and crafted specifically to absolve whites in the US and other countries of paradox of enslaving Blacks. It has proven to be so full of lies that you dont know what the truth is now. I know of no "goal" to dominate the earth by Black people. The true history of the world should be taught instead of pretending "white people" were the only ones that created and did anything of significance.
No, "superior" isn't correct. The idea that people should be treated differently because of their race is racist.
I don't think you have a clue what a "Eurocentric point of view" is and I certainly don't think you know any thing about it's "cultivation. Are you trying to claim that all Europeans are white and plan to dominate the Earth? Are Blacks who enslave Blacks nicer than Whites who do so?
Before trying to correct me at least check your dictionary. It plainly states that it is a belief that a race is superior. I have more than a clue what a Eurocentric point of view is because I was indoctrinated with it formally from the moment I hit the school system. I was told Christopher Columbus discovered America when its a blatant lie. Cultivated in the context I used it means refined or polished. Are you really that ignorant or just pretending to be? Thats twice now you could have avoided embarrassing yourself simply by looking at a dictionary. If you knew anything about slavery at all you would know the type of slavery that was practiced in the US and some other places was entirely different than that practiced before that time.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Racism, also sometimes called racialism, is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that consider the human species to be divided into races with shared traits, abilities, or qualities, such as personality, intellect, morality, or other cultural behavioral characteristics, and especially the belief that races can be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to others, or that members of different races should be treated differently.[1][2]The exact definition of racism is controversial both because there is little scholarly agreement about the meaning of the concept "race", and because there is also little agreement about what does and doesn't constitute discrimination. Critics argue that the term is applied differentially, with a focus on such prejudices by whites, and defining mere observations of racial differences as racism.[3] Some definitions would have it that any assumption that a person's behavior would be influenced by their racial categorization is racist, regardless of whether the action is intentionally harmful or pejorative.
If you intended to discuss the Eurocentric viewpoint of history you should written it as such not just Eurocentric viewpoint.
"The problem I have with the Eurocentric point of view is that it was cultivated and crafted specifically to absolve whites in the US and other countries of paradox of enslaving Blacks"Please feel free to try to prove that there is anything factual in your statement above. I suspect that it is nothing but opinion and a racist one at that. Why else pose a difference between Blacks and Whites who enslave Blacks? I have been of the opinion that history shows that most Black slaves in America were either born into slavery or enslaved mostly by other Blacks and Browns. Is this untrue? Why does it matter?
If you knew anything about slavery at all you would know the type of slavery that was practiced in the US and some other places was entirely different than that practiced before that time.
I know no such thing nor do I believe that to be true.
