YES! You sayed that a certain philosophical school of epistemology is reserved to one ethnical group only. This is not some kind of music or culture. It is a school of thought - an entire way of reasoning and thinking. And by asserting that "non whites" would have to learn that from "whites" you are being racist - because you are at the same time asserting that "non whites" are not capable to learn scientific reason without the help of "whites".
Was that explaination simple enought for your simple mind?
Quote:If you were the kind of twerp who wants to pretend stuff you could pretend its an exclusive statement barring non Blacks from involvement past present or future. But it doesn't mean that - its drawing attention to the main developing culture.
I actualy made a complete translation into german of that sentnce.
It made no sence!
I would like to know if any member of this forum can actualy see sence in this? Or if it simply is gibberish - a nonsenseical ajustment of words with absolutly no meaning to it.
Quote:Must we never say that white people as a group have developed something. I love traditional Scottish music and I would say 'although having non white influence' it is white music racist? No
Music is something cultural.
Thought is not! Reasoning is not! Science is not! The scientific method is not! - these things are available for all and certainly not a "white cultural thing" as you stated! By stating that you might aswell claim that "non whites" have to learn reasoning from "whites" - arguing like a 19th century slaver talking about the "white mans burden".
I think you are simply to dumb to understand how revoltingly racist you are. I can at least hope that it came to your understanding through my reply, and I recomend you simply stop posting on this subject - because you are only making a bigger fool out of yourself, when you start sounding like a 19th century colonial racist.
Quote:This is not a discriminatory remark - just as saying white people have some gifts to give the world doesn't make one a racist.
It is racist because a school of epistomology is not a bagpipe, Lederhose or russian hat! It is a way of thinking - and by saying that this school of thought is simply some "white traditionalist thing" you are asserting that other ethnicities are not capable to gain the knowlege about this epistemological school by themselves and only with the help of "whites" - which is racist!
Quote:Pretending it is racist however - that's dumb
Saying something racist - without even noticing that one is racist - that is beyond dumb. You should really stop replying before you make a greater fool out of yourself.
