So you explain to me how it's NOT racist.

I would totally scam food from White Fries.

Yeah! I'm soooo not racist that I'm gonna stand pat now that racially motivated policies have put me at an advantage over people of several other races. But now that those are done with, it's time to zoom out and put any integratory policies on the same level. The only way to end racism is for me to keep ALL of my white privilege!

"class warfare"

First of all, I do not have to do this. You come out with a bold claim in your OP with absolutely no logical reasoning behind it, and you expect that the burden of proof is on me? No. But I will indulge you for a second here.

Second of all, it turns out I am going to have to indeed bust out a dictionary definition of racism for you because "Treating people differently than another" is not. So let's review (courtesy of dictionary.com):


1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

Hm, nope. Not seeing it.

2.
a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.

Nah.

3.
hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Irrelevant here.



So I'd like you to tell me something without resorting to one of your ridiculous hypotheticals. First, if this office were to succeed and managed to raise the graduation rates of black students (who consistently fall short of nearly every demographic in terms of graduation rates, especially when compared to Caucasians), would this be a bad thing? Is it racist to try to help a certain class of people who seem to be benefiting from the system less than others?

I support the hilarity that ensues when Lirva starts threads.

And I'm white. Use this in your arguments how it best fits.

I'm interested in what gets you so worked up about this. Are you just that dedicated to your belief that colorblindness will end racial inequality?

Whatever it is, it was enough to get you to support the idea that the government should take YOUR TAX DOLLARS and place them in a program designed to help the poor.

k, sorry, it's not racism. It's racial discrimination, which is TOTALLY NOT racist.

White Fries confirmed racist, but I can't blame LirvA because he didn't build that.

So Lirva, you're asserting that the current US education system doesn't favor whites?

Lol. I'm done. Thank you for the chuckle. I fell for it.

I think it favors smart people which is discriminatory.

It's ****ed up for everyone. Is it ****ed up more for blacks or other minorities? Yeah it probably is, but the government shouldn't initiate racist policies to try to fix that. It should get the **** out of it all together imo.
