If any black people had to suffer real - institutionalized - discrimination.... im sure there was more to it than an old lady calling her robber a nigger in story retellling mode to her relatives.

Racism, real racism - with oppression and privilege - a system of such, still exists in America. Blacks and thus society suffers from it every day. It's not the same as common racial bigotry, it's an ingrained system of superiority and must be eliminated.

Why is the dictionary definition of racism/racist irrelevant to a discussion about what the word means? In fact, what could possibly be more relevant?

It's irrelevant because it really doesn't mean anything in any useful context other than this argument.

(Note: Actual oppression and privilege not experienced by 80 percent of the people who get offended by it)

I don't need to suffer rape to be offended by it.

You're denying that racism exists in America? I mean real racism, where bigotry impacts all levels of society, and not just some minority talking powerless and sociologically impotent crap.

What he posted was one of various sociological systems theories regarding racism. The key term here is "systems theories".

But all of these theories are derived from a root pathology of racism.

If you want to deny "individual racism" exist...then that's your problem.
 
instagramsci said:
Look at that. Something we agree on.



No.

Actually yes you would be wrong.Because the source of words and their meaning doesn't back up your claim.Had you been correct then the dictionary would have the definition that you were using.

And yet you can't seem to define that other than stating it over and over again.

Thus demonstrating the difference. You laugh because the insult is powerless and thus meaningless. It's not them same when it represents actual oppression and privilege - racism.

I laugh because it's stupid. It doesn't have power because I don't give those words power.

Well, the argument at this point is what the word "racism" means, so of course the actual definition of the word is useful. Again, what could possibly be more useful?

That is where your argument is ****ed.

What do you mean "individual racism"?

You mean prejudice?

It doesn't have any power because it doesn't have any power. But racial bigotry against blacks DOES.

You'll excuse me if I ignore the guy with a Nazi username in racial discussions, yes?

You're denying that racism exists in America. haha

And you still can't prove me wrong. You only know how to talk about racism in wide sweeping terms, yet you avoid putting out any examples because you know they will be swiftly rejected and thrown in your face. Sorry but unless you actually give any evidence, you're just making conjectures.

You're still implying that the dictionary definition is the "actual" definition.
 
Surtr said:
Because they allow it.

No, because racial oppression and privilege did and does exist in America - against them and not against you.
