what do you guys think about this controversy surrounding the March for Life?

[Rev. Rye]

you guys don't have any idea what racism is. to you it is a word to be used that allows you to hate others. or you misidentify any unfriendly word as raceism.

Racism is 1/2 your family not wanting anything to do with you because you are the wrong blood. racism is a friend finding out you are not white or Mexican and after being friend for years. they just 'unlike you' racism is fight the white kids in the neighborhood everyday of your life from when school started till probably mid high school/when you got big enough to break bone. (because you eat all of their missing dogs and cats) Racism is not calling a man of different color out for being in a liar. racism is not mocking a man for failing to honor himself or his culture. I never put my culture above not belittle his culture only spoke negatively about an individual, which again speaking negatively about an individual behavior is not racism.

Some of those are racism, as is mocking Native American language. That's what was racist, and you definitely belittled his culture.

It's funny that you thought the unfriendliness is what I considered racist.

And here's what the old man has to say about being called Chief Fakum News:





And for the record, since Drich brought up the Prejudice Plus Power Paradigm, well, Rationalwiki has a page on the subject that points out the many problems with it, and here's a simple explanation of what I think about it from David Pilgrim, curator of the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia that sums it up:

Can blacks be racist? The answer, of course, will depend on how you define racism. If you define it as "prejudice against or hatred toward another race," then the answer is yes. If you define racism as "the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race," the answer is yes. And if you define racism as "prejudice and discrimination rooted in race-based loathing," then the answer is, again, yes. However, if you define racism as "a system of group privilege by those who have a disproportionate share of society’s power, prestige, property, and privilege," then the answer is no. In the end, it is my opinion that individual blacks can be and sometimes are racists. However, collectively, blacks are neither the primary creators nor beneficiaries of the racism that permeates society today.

See the whole explanation he gives, including his own experience being bullied by poor white people (and they were so poor that to consider them as having any power, like the equation requires is downright laughable), and how it temporarily warped his view of race.

You may have had to put up with a lot of shit from being half-white, half-Korean, but clearly if you feel the need to give Nathan Philips a bullshit name like Chief Fakum News, well, it looks like your understanding of racism only goes so far.
