RACISM

I think we, as a society, have done a great job at associating racism as a bad character trait. But what I see now is that making blatantly outright statements of racism have morphed into making insinuating, sort of microaggressions (comparatively speaking). Now instead of that label racism, it's now hiding behind names like 'nationalism, 'heritage', 'conservation' or 'anti-pc' etc. It would be nice to say that we all don't see color and that people should be judged based on their own individual merit, but that is a blind way to look at the world when there are so many obvious ways in which the playing field, so to speak, isn't leveled for everyone. Every group has privileges that can benefit them more than members of another group in certain ways and in certain situations. Being privileged is not a bad thing, it's just saying that the current system of society favors you in one way that it doesn't favor another based on the luck of your birth. You shouldn't feel bad or that you're being attacked if someone says you're privileged, but you should recognize that you do have it better than others and thus use that influence to level the field

Heropun Well, first off we need to define a racist. Kongou appears to be a bigot based off their passionate defense to my question. Not a racist. A bigot (as defined in Webster's Dictionary) is a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance Racism is 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b : a political or social system founded on racism 3: racial prejudice or discrimination (Webster's) So, now with that, do we start explaining what we THINK racism/racist are or do we go on and decide to change our political system?

Xueli Couldn't agree more.

Well, be sure your sources are credible sources. Wikipedia is not credible. Nor is some backass website that has no proof. Did you watch the video, Hero?

Daggerfell Why do you think that BLM is now a black nationalist group? Not saying you're wrong, just wanna know what made you change your opinion.
