Are you justifying racism via economic output? I've seen this line of reasoning go horribly wrong before..
Obviously teaching people how to be productive is good. But what about teaching people to discriminate against others? If we were to argue from principle, I would agree that racism is not a virtue. That said, I don't adhere to principled reasoning 100% of the time and would be happy to help "black girls" code.
- hackinthebochs 13y agoStop conflating discrimination based on race and racism. They are not the same. Go study some history if you don't believe me. And just because I know this is coming: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6976062 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6976062
- smokeyj 13y agoQuit trying to intellectualize your racist approach to moral righteousness. It's coming across as desperate. If you have a principled argument to make, now would be a good time. If all you have is more false analogies then I think I've had enough.
