Re: 'As a black person it's always racial': Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx explains
Yea that's exactly what I said. Nice strawman though.
Complex? COMPLEX? It's no more complex than you think your race is superior/inferior, that's it. Nothing complex about that.
This is not a statement of theory, it is a statement of fact...
Thirdly, this is exactly my point. That racism exists and is alive and well because it is an integral part of human nature if you believe the above statements to be true. And therefore, you can never get rid of racism because racism is embedded deep within each and every human being, of any race, on the planet. A fight against racism is a fight against humanity itself. This is explained all in the above comment i made. It is therefore not a cultural phenomenon, but an inherent human phenomenon. - Rainman05
I understand them perfectly and they are crap.
#1 Race is a social construct
#2 Racism is a learned response, not inherent.
Your "factually" stated "theory" is bull****, wrong, not correct according to modern science...
There are some psychiatrists pioneering the study that racism is a psychiatric disorder however, in general most agree that racism is a learned behavior especially since an individual learns this belief system under a social context. - http://www.essayjoint.co.uk/samples/Racism A Learned Behavior.pdf
Racism is quite a hot topic, and isn't likely to go away anytime soon.
The following is a true story:
A white young boy, John, of about five years old came in and told his mother, "I don't like black people."
The mother was somewhat surprised as her best friend, Sarah, was a black lady and her son, Todd, played together all the time.
The mother asked John, "what about Todd?" John's friend.
John didn't say anything - remember; he's five (5).
The mother asked John, "what about Ms. Sarah?"
John thought for a moment and he didn't say anything. (He's 5 years old) It was as though he was thinking about his friend and his friend's mother without realizing that their skin color was different from his.
Upon further investigation, John told his mother that he'd heard the people next door say bad things about black people.
Now what does that tell you!!
Taught through a learned behavior?
Or
Inherent behavior? - Racism - Learned Behavior Or Inherent Behavior?
This is not a logical conclusion. That is the problem, the causation/correlation does not exist between success and racism. So the only conclusion I can come to is you want to justify racism as inborn, thus justifying your own racism.
You are the one doing such...
Then the only logical conclusion is that which I made. - Rainman05
Then you say my examples are somehow me. Sorry it's all you man.
Because you will not accept that your conclusion is not only wrong, but highly flawed according to most scientific data. Sorry that says it all right there.
You did not have a valid argument before this even started.
So, your experiences are universal? You are a spokesperson for the black community then. <sarcasm>
Yea that's exactly what I said. Nice strawman though.
Also. you are triviliazing a complex issue, which is why it is still an issue.
Complex? COMPLEX? It's no more complex than you think your race is superior/inferior, that's it. Nothing complex about that.
Unlike you, I am not stating anything to a certainty. I am just providing context and theories.

You are the one who apparently, is either unable to understand complex ideas or is unwilling to. Either way, it is not good for you. And not good for the conversation.

Do go back and read the comments we had. I have clearly stated that if the things I wrote nicely in A B C D... etc are true. Then the only logical conclusion is that which I made. I have never stated that I agree with the theories I put forward. They are just logical conclusions. Your replies have proven to me that you are unable to understand them and thus, can only ignore them or trivialize them, both courses of actions lead to your discrediting as a serious debater.
This is not a logical conclusion. That is the problem, the causation/correlation does not exist between success and racism. So the only conclusion I can come to is you want to justify racism as inborn, thus justifying your own racism.
Add that to the fact you are constantly making it about "me" and "you" when such a debate should be about ideas and the way they are implemented in public.
You are the one doing such...

You are even now returning to the same "silver bullet" strategy of calling me a racist because you cannot come up with a viable alternative to what is happening. You cannot explain it. You are criticizing the "status quo" of racial relations and provide no notions as to why it exists. It cannot be something that is taught because if it is something that is taught then the social climate is against you. Racism and racists are criticized and persecuted every single time in social and public life. it is discouraged. yet it persists. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that the root of racism is something stronger than just mindset... then just teaching. And the only thing stronger than ideology is the natural human condition.
Because you will not accept that your conclusion is not only wrong, but highly flawed according to most scientific data. Sorry that says it all right there.
If you cannot come up with serious replies and arguments for your position, then I shall have no alternative but to discredit you further as a weak, pathetic debater who is not any further worth my time.
You did not have a valid argument before this even started.
