Let get back to whining about racism. Is that a tell of more than something? Are we all whining about because it hurts? It is dehumanizing, and that in abstract always hurts humanity by cause and effect of idea.

Is it an agreeable idea to treat racism like it hurts?

Your are mischaracterizing my position. The concern for feelings is humanitarian and is the reason we do not use racial slurs. We all share having them, not my wedge to put between us.

Maybe unchained isn't for you son.

Maybe unchained is for anyone.

It's definitely not for you spanky.

I'd say peter is upset about not getting in the worst poster tourney, but I'm pretty sure he's Alex, at least judging by his god awful posts

It's confirmed Alex.

I thought I'd guessed that before and he denied it.

The people who don't start fights and make acrimony about racism do it better.

Note:

Being racist |= "make acrimony about racism"

CALLING something racist |= "making acrimony about racism"

spank are you proud of how you've devoted the past like two months to advancing the cause of white supremacy on the internet?

I'll end every fight you cause. I stand.

Divide and abuse is the racist way. Why should I budge?

I actually use the word the way I believe it is officially defined and not otherwise. Younger people use the word more liberally because there are so few who meet the official definition. But I remember when 40% of the country did meet that definition. So I search for a softer word for lesser sins.

No, I think I've got it. Despite the weird syntax and such, it's not a hard read. You're no Pynchon.

I have doubt you got it and understand you think you do. If you actually got it, than you can understand why angry and militant approaches to racism are tragically flawed. Shooting the messenger doesn't change that message.

You aren't even making that argument, you are just concern trolling--more schtick than an ethos.

This is obviously wrong.

Racism isn't racial animus. It isn't a personal 'failure' or 'confusion' or 'bad logic' than can be 'cured' by some kinda personal 'therapy' or vague notions of 'love'. It's systemic, institutionalized race-based class discrimination.

Attempting to conflate racism with racial animus is a main strategy of racists, meaning here those who act or speak to support this institutionalized discrimination. They'd like nothing more than to narrow the scope to a few 'bad people' with 'bad logic' who can be 'cured'... thereby completely ignoring/trivializing/denying the fundamental systemic institutional nature of racism.

Racism is not a 'mental health issue'... racism is a result of how our society is organized.

Victims of racism, and their allies, have every right to be angry. They have every right to express their anger... who are you to say otherwise. This whole derp about racism being only a 'personal failure' needs to be called out at all times. Finally, without militant action... without militant direct action... systemic institutionalized racism cannot even begin to be confronted.

Um, no.

That is easy to argue. Saying 'your just...' is a political dodge.Why should I argue about it considering a chief message of the ethos and the basis for the "schtick?

Please be informed from my perspective the discussion of this topic has just begun. It appears to me that a knowledge gap is present about racism in the community and the political method does not solve it.

Racism is over, haven't you heard?

Appeals to history, science, philosophy, and religion line up with your view here.

I'm not even sure what the popular underlying ideology about anti-racism is even defined as here in the forums. It appears militant and angry, demanding of shaming, shunning and, well, having dominance. Which school of thought is that?

Zikzak's views are informative and seem more rooted in the educational approach. Why marry that to an overly adversarial method?

Civil rights is about equality for each individual at it's core and I cannot easily reconcile militant behavior with this idea.

Militant behavior has long been a part of the civil rights movement. I'm not sure what history you're looking back on here.

That said, I don't think yelling at people on the internet is really militancy.
