Oh for fuck's sake. Did you forget already that You're the one who said I didn't know what racism is?
Don't play stupid.
Don't play senile. Here is what you said to me in post #55: "
We know what racism is. You don't."
Not only do you forget comments I tell you and remember comments I never told you, you can't even remember what
you said.
Blacks have committed murder. Does this mean blacks are a murderous people as a race?
Did blacks make laws making it legal to kill whites and there would be no penalty?
Answer the question: Does this mean blacks are a murderous people as a race?
A principle is a principle that applies to everybody. If whites are a weak race or guilty based on the principle of their skin color then so are blacks and everybody else. Correlation is not causation.
The problem in Rwanda was a result of white colonization. You were shown that.
Is it or is it not true that the Tutsis agreed with the laws and participated in their enforcement and practice?
If that is true then you need to present research, study and peer-reviewed scholarship to that effect. Otherwise it's just more "I hates ******" rhetorical dog vomit.
Really?
“I am apt to suspect the negroes and in general all other species of men (for there are four or five different kinds) to be naturally inferior to the whites. There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation. No ingenious manufactures amongst them, no arts, no sciences. On the other hand, the most rude and barbarous of the whites, such as the ancient GERMANS, the present TARTARS, have still something eminent about them in their valour, form of government, or some other particular. Such a uniform and constant differences could not happen in so many countries and ages, if nature had not made an original distinction betwixt these breeds of men. Not to mention our colonies, there are Negroe slaves dispersed all over Europe, of which none ever discovered any symptoms of ingenuity, tho' low people, without education, will start up amonst us, and distinguish themselves in every profession. In JAMAICA indeed they talk of one negroe as a man of parts and learning; but 'tis likely he is admired for very slender accomplishments like a parrot, who speaks a few words plainly. “
David Hume, “Of National Characters”
In three separate works Kant claimed that the Negro is, in most respects, the lowest of all races. He also referred to blacks as the “bad race” and whites as “the good race,” argued that the white race contains “all incentives and talents,” and felt that whites were the “only ones who always progress toward perfection.”
To my knowledge, Kant never repudiated any of these explicitly racist claims.
Ryan Very, Kant’s Racism
How White People Invented Racism
Drawing from the Encyclopedia Brittanica (a surprisingly good resource for race theory), racism’s core ideology has three components. First, it’s the belief that humans are separated into biological categories called “races”. Second, it posits that racialized physical traits are the source of personality characteristics like intelligence, sexuality, and work ethic. Finally, the ideology holds that these racial categories exist within a hierarchy and that some races are superior to others.
While scientists have challenged race’s biological foundation, and many of us now understand race to be a social construct, “race has not lost its biological origins“. Although ethnocentricism, nationalism, and tribalism all predate race, it’s racial hierarchy’s pseudo biological foundation that sets it apart as a distinctly European invention. The treatment of the Ainu and burakumin in Japan, which was based in part on a biology-like concept of “polluted blood”, is the only precolonial non-European social hierarchy with similar characteristics to racism. Given the overall lack of precolonial non-White concepts of race, racism (and race itself) is the original “white people problem”.
How White People Invented Racism
Groups of humans have always identified themselves as distinct from neighboring groups, but such differences have not always been understood to be natural, immutable and global. These features are the distinguishing features of how the concept of race is used today. In this way the idea of race as we understand it today came about during the historical process of exploration and conquest which brought Europeans into contact with groups from different continents, and of the ideology of classification and typology found in the natural sciences.
[35] The term
race was often used in a general
biological taxonomic sense,
[15] starting from the 19th century, to denote
genetically differentiated human
populations defined by phenotype.

From Stephens' article: "
Although ethnocentricism, nationalism, and tribalism all predate race."
Ethnocentrism, nationalism, tribalism and racism are variations on the same theme: Thinking your group is superior. And tribalism has been going on throughout all of human history all the way back to before the first migrations out of Africa up to 150,000 years ago.
You're not white so how would you know?
It's pretty simple. I lived in a majority white town. I went majority white schools including college. I worked with white people for most of my working life. I had teammates on my sports teams that were white. I've had girlfriends and a wife that was white. I don't think you have had the same kind of exposure to blacks. Whites like you have been singing this sorry sad song for most of my life..
You still don't get it. You are not talking to blacks who have newer personally ben around white people.[/quote]
It was sarcasm. The only reason I said it is because you're always playing the "You're not black so you wouldn't understand" card.
First of all, these whites aren't criticizing themselves per se, they are criticizing the white race. Secondly, as I said above, I don't criticize everybody else, I criticize you. And if Handler or the professor were here now I would challenge and criticize them.
And why can't whites criticize the white race for things they have done and keep doing wrong?
Criticizing the actions of racist whites is one thing, criticizing the entire race, including non-racists, for the actions of racist whites is quite another.
I think that the whites who have done wrong should be ashamed for the things they have done. Should Muslims be ashamed for 9/11?
But those who benefited from the wrongs?
If they
knew it was wrong then yes, maybe they should be. But if they didn't know, the solution is not telling them they are shit or should be ashamed. The solution is to educate them.
This is just incredible, I don't know what to say. Asclepias says outright that whites are the weaker race and you basically agree with him. And yet in spite of that, you turn it around on me and accuse me of the same fucking thing you guys did even though I never any such thing about blacks. Jesus Christ what an unmitigated hypocrite you are.
I never said anything about blacks being morally and mentally weaker and I don't think they are.
If you say whites are the weaker race and then falsely accuse me of thinking the same thing about blacks and then call me a racist for doing the exact same thing you did then yes, you are a hypocrite.
When you look at what whites have done, what does it say to you about your own race?
Racism by whites doesn't tell me anything about the white race when I know that it was also whites who started the abolition movement in this country and that it was whites who abolished slavery.
Because whites do not say what they do about us based on a pattern of behavior or abuses that run the spectrum. And you want to ignore why things are said to make your conclusion because you are not able to deal with the truth. I can say that since I have dealt with negative things blacks have done. I have criticized blacks for bad behaviors and I have worked to change things I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DOING. So in my view YOU are weak because you can't do that and you are full of excuses of why you can't do that in the white community.
Good for you. I simply treat and regard blacks as equals and love my black grandniece and grandnephew unconditionally and respect their black father. If my black grandniece and grandnephew learn that their skin color doesn't matter to me and that they will always be loved equally by their white aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents then that is enough for me.
You see, the concept of race in the social and relationship aspect is a non-issue with these kids and I'd like it to stay that way. The last fucking thing they need is to hear someone like you say that their white mother is morally and mentally weaker because of her skin color. I am going to protect my black grandniece and grandnephew from blacks like you for as long as I can.
