Affrimative action is not racism...not even by a longshot...and yet this has been your constant argument.The problem is that you don't know what words mean. "Racism" is systematized thought centered around race, and the actions that come from it. That's what you are arguing for. My argument is that individuals, not demographics, have a contract with the society.
Quote: It's the core of white grievance as a whole, stretching all the way back to the 60's. Exposed for that, you recoil and accuse others of strawmanning you. OFC it's not straw,...it's just that you realize how fucking stupid it sounds without the grounding rhetoric of the white supremacists you swear to baby jesus haven't influenced you in the least, lol.I don't particularly recoil from your straw man. The problem is that you want to make it about White Power, when really it's just about fairness. Unless, that is, you've decided that Asian people are white.
You can keep calling "witch" all day, but in the end, you are endorsing a policy based not on individual needs or achievements, but on racial demographics. That you cannot see the irony of pushing for the lessening of racism while loudly pronouncing the value of racist policies is unlikely to lead to much good.
Quote:Personally...I think that if you put down the supremacist's crackpipe...you'd still be an asshole, but you wouldn't be an unintentionally racist one. That's just my two cents.I have to say, I don't really appreciate the constant racist language you've used. I know you think that anti-black racism in history gives you, a white guy, carte blanche to throw constant anti-white epithets, but there's another option available-- not doing that.
I'd also prefer you not use words like "asshole." Your goal is to demean with language, and I think that's a goal that you shouldn't have. Why be like that at all? Is this really the internet discussion experience that you want to have?
