Is being black a right?

[Pogo]

I hate humanity a little more every day. So, gender is a choice, race is now a choice. That transanimal thread is starting to look like a real thing.

You can't let this shit get to you. There are idiots. But most people are fairly awesome. And the idiots have such little impact on my life or yours......**** 'em.

Yeah it's bizarre that this silly shit gets this kind of attention. But that level does serve to tell us we hain't growed up yet.

Rachel Dolezal has a right to be black Opinion - CNN.com

what is race?

Aye, there's the rub. Race is fairly straightforward but when we speak of "black" and "white" -- in this country at least -- we may mean a biological category, or a culture, or often, both.

Is being "black" a right? Culturally, sure.

Weird how many people here see it only in terms of skin color.

I agree with this... But, I think it's a good thing that all this shit happened. It's putting 'transracism' on the map and hopefully it'll end racism that the media seems to be covering so much recently. Like they all got together and agree on talking about the same shit.

I'm afraid I don't see it ending any time soon. As long as media gets its Pavlovian response it'll keep milking that cow, to mix an animalistic metaphor. Judging how many people are still surprisingly hung up on skin color -- 1200 posts in the thread here -- Pavlov is very much alive. That sensitive spot won't go unnoticed by the commercial puppetmasters that be.

I swear you're referring to a concept in the field of psychology. Could you explain what you mean by the media getting their 'Pavlovian response' and what you mean by 'milking the cow' in this regard.

Sorry, I mean the Media Machine, as you referred to in hopes of its coverage of racism. I'm saying as long as Media sees that it makes this kind of splash, even a silly nothing story like this Rachel character, they know they have a hot button to push. Anything that draws that kind of attention sells ads, so they'll milk race stories, no matter how mundane, to tap that audience. This is what commercial media thrives on-- they trump up stories on hot button issues, and we sit transfixed, thinking we're watching a "transracialism story", but all we're really doing is getting set up for the soap commercial. And as long as they see that transracialism (or whatever) captures our attention, they'll milk it for the purpose of the sales pitch. That Pavlovian response.

That's why I can't see this level of media attention waning -- it's working too well. More likely we'll see more such stories. I guarantee there are myriad cub reporters out right now looking for the next Rachel Dolezal or the next McKinney, and their next career steppingstone.

The mental adjustment that's necessary to shrug this shit off is so minute and can be summed up in one word: mostly.

Marriage is mostly a man and a woman. Gender is mostly biological. And hell, transracialism? Maybe. Its a big world. There's a lot of crazy shit. Most of it is easy to wrap my head around. Most of it makes sense. There's no particular need for ALL of it to fit into these little pigeon holes, where everyone can be universally classified.

Sometimes, shit gets complicated. And things get a little vague and hard to generalize Most of time, no so much.

Indeed. Going through life looking for a black-white (metaphorical) dichotomoy in everything will get one enswamped in the grey areas. Nature don' roll dat way.

Whoa, pipe down there, cowboy.

The "Pavlovian response" boils down simply into something like this. Pavlov rings a bell, and gives his dog food. He rings the bell a few more times, giving the dog food each time. He rings the bell once again, without giving the dog any food, and sees the dog salivating in response to the sound of the bell. The dog makes the connection between the bell and the food, and each time he hears the bell, he expects to be fed, thus "classical conditioning."

"Milking the cow" essentially means trying to get as much as possible out of something.

I think it certainly plays a huge role in which matters get ignored. What gets covered on the other hand, is going to mostly be what they can sell soap with.

Oh? Surely you're smart enough to think for yourself. Googling was a good move. But from what I can tell, you don't take kindly to people trying (though not successfully) to help you. No need to get angry at me, you're the one who can't do the research.

How could you possibly when I was asking for this guys understanding on the issue?

I read your post. You must understand that when you post here, you open yourself up to any and all types of scrutiny. Your opinions are fair game. So don't get angry when someone other than the recipient of your response responds.

Anyway I knew it related to classical conditioning and I knew already what milking the cow is.

Then why did you ask the question in the first place? If you knew what it was, why?

Smh.
