Quote:I think we should all be careful about throwing that term around just like we should all be careful about the information we share with one another. At least if we're in pursuit of more knowledge, which I think most people on this forum, including you and me, are.Right, we should only call racist things racist. Scientific racism is racist, and racists are racist. The normalizing propaganda of white supremacy, is racist, people who sell it..are racists.
The inevitability of black poverty by comparative IQ, is racist. Equally problematic, since we're all seekers of knowledge, is that it's untrue. We know this bny reference to the same studies that racists collectively mine and misappropriate, and even more horrendous..is that those studies show us that segregation and inequality are actually creating the metric, that racists then point to as an excuse for the racism...that has caused segregation and inequality...which expresses itself -as- the metric.
It's tight little knot.
