It's just racism dude. Not even white, just tired of the mental gymnastics people go through to justify their actions against white people based sole on their skin color and what they've committed against their people. You're doing the same thing. In the end it's just the tribal, racialist bullshit I'm freaking tired of. It never ends, because we keep justifying evildoing whenever it benefits our side at the given time. If we keep doing this, we have no right to complain when some other group does it to us at some other point in the future.
- genoapol 6y agoNo, racism is a system of oppression. You have adopted a narrower and more convenient definition that is not shared by the majority of the people that study this subject and its history. Equating people saying "whites can't dance" with the homicidal criminals engaging in the kind of brutality and dehumanization I described above is intellectual dishonesty, at best. >It never ends, because we keep justifying evildoing whenever it benefits our side at the given time. When did Africans benefit from racism (A European Renaissance invention)? This is an invocation of "both-sides-ism" that human history doesn't agree with you on, as far as I know.
- Ghjklov 6y agoNo. If someone says or does something to me based only on my race, they are a piece of shit racist. I don't care how many years his people has been oppressed by some other group of people.
- genoapol 6y agoSomeone else mentioned what I'm defining more succinctly as "prejudice+power".
- nicky0 6y agoWhat you are saying is, you and you critical theory pals have redefined the word to suit your purposes.
