Quote:The claim has been made by activists that blacks can't be racist to whites because of systemic power.Nope
Quote:This is a dog whistle to say "be as racist to whites as you want. They deserve it."Nope
Quote:So if Ye didn't align himself with white supremacists and just did the anti-Semitism, would that make it any less racist?Kanye isn't speaking as a black person he's speaking for the party of white systematic power so he still has more power than the Jews. By the logic of racism = systematic power.
Quote:People who are anti-white and not aligned with white supremacists shoot up synagogues too.Like? and even if that were true one of those people isn't Kanye who has aligned with said power.
Quote:Yes, systemic power is extremely important to talk about, but it's not the be all end all.It pretty much is as far as this topic goes.
Quote:Jewish people can still be shot up by people with less systemic power than them, and they're still just as much dead, whether they were killed by systemic oppression or not.Irrelevant really. In Kanye's case he's still speaking for a position of alignment with white systematic power by the logic of racism = systematic power.
Quote:You consider it a silly comment for me to say that over 4 billion people should not be jailed for racism and tribalism?Nope, this whole rant of yours is silly frankly.
Quote:And I didn't say anyone had an excuse to be racist, but mass incarceration has never solved the problems of a society.And neither has pretending racists are reasonable people who can do as they please.
Quote:Time is the trick. No matter how bad things look to you right now, people are overall becoming less bigoted.Nope, you can go from a society that's less racist to one that's more so. Pretending tolerance is some inevitability is foolish because it can and has gone the other way.
Quote:Look at the acceptance of gay and trans people in the West. 70 % in the US now accept gay marriage. In 2004 it was only 31 % that supported marriage equality. That's an insane leap in such a short amount of time. I know you're into the doomerism and worried about Nazi fascists at your doorstep, but look at the positive happening as well.Yup and that could easily reverse. The Nazis are very real and pretending in this Liberal notion of the inevitability of good is just what leads to their victory. It breeds compliance.
Quote:My apologies to Boru. What he actually posted was that white supremacists should have all of their rights taken away and that they should be forced to have a vasectamy or have their tubes tied it seems, or have their children taken away at birth, which is actually just as bad as putting them in prison or even worse, if you think about it.Why should White Supremacists have the rights they would deny other people? By the way, being a white supremacist is more than just being racist and frankly much worst.
So yet another silly comment....

"Change was inevitable"
