I will certainly agree that the Inquisitors were just as guilty of inhumanity then as the racists are today.
Stirring words from you and Buck, there. Sounds like a crusade. I agree that we should not accept racism in social constructs. I seriously doubt you can manage to change the content of the human heart.
 
Count me as part of the problem then.
Duly noted , that humbolt is part of the problem of ongoing racism in modern America.
Thank you for your self indicting candor.
 
And I am not impressed by BS either, Shrubnose.




Great.

Sounds like we're on the same page.

I've been fighting this battle for a long time, and I don't plan on quitting until they put me in the ground.

Ignoring racism will not make it go away.

I agree that we can't put hearts in those who never had one, but we can stop them from harming others.

Good luck with that. "The battle" was won 150 years ago. Racists are fewer and fewer and have been effectively marginalized by society. Most of us recognize bigots, realize there's absolutely nothing we can do to change what's in their hearts, roll our eyes and go on -- determined to set good examples ourselves.

Edit: I assume you are outraged​ at Trayvon Martin calling Zimmerman a creepy-assed cracker? No? I thought not.

Oh! And outraged that what'shername didn't perceive Creepy-assed Cracker as racist, too? No? I thought not.

Oh! And outraged that black sports figures and entertainers make their living calling other blacks Niggers? No? Selectively outraged, I guess.

Some people see racism everywhere. Know why? They're looking out of racist eyes

That quote makes no sense, racists tend to be blind to racism.
Those who are most sensitive to the ugliness of the racist mind are those who have empathy towards the victims or are on the receiving end of racism themselves...
jus'sayin'

This from someone who describes pre-civil war reenactments of subservient slaves during white southern weddings as being "totally harmless".
We understand who is part of the problem here and who is part of the solution.
If you truly believe that the problem of racism was "solved 150 years ago you need to pick up a modern American history book.
As I said those who still harbor racist sentiments are most blind to the problem of modern racism.

No, you don't. You're just so prejudiced yourself you can't see the forest for the trees. And I'm not interested in being politically correct because I'm not running for office.

Get over it. It was 150 years ago. Blacks who can't let it go live in the ghettos all of their lives and blame crackers. Blacks who live in today's world get terrific educations, advanced degrees and become professionals who give back to their old communities stuck in a time warp.

Duly noted . You believe that racism was solved with the emancipation of the slaves.
Thank you for your self indicting candor and self incriminating ignorance of American history.

I wasn't speaking of a lack of heart. I was speaking of the propensity for humans to do things that aren't good, and that includes various unfounded prejudices. It's starting to sound like you're on a crusade to eliminate the offensive. Good luck with that.

A big part of Liberal society that can't acknowledge ongoing black racism is the part of the problem you can worry about ... not humbolt.

Again --

I once had some clients who thought they had to remove all of the 'black art' from their walls in order to sell their home. Their friends told them that "White people won't want to buy your house." How patently absurd. Blacks are their own worst enemies.

Well I agree with Maggie. I think you're recruiting for the next Inquisition. Iffin' I don't sign up, does that make me a target? Shrubby said we're either with him, or agin 'em. Sounds ominous.

Bubba, I've been found out - I'm a racist. Took 63 years of hard work to get there. I'm also a cracker, WASP, white ass, limey, all those disgusting things on the political right, and in general a real sob. When you add to that list that I live in the south and have a supply of guns - well, you get the picture. I must be a redneck. I mean, look at all the indicators. The rush to judgement somehow belies the stated intentions here.
 
What would you call state voter repression laws deigned and aimed specifically at black voters?

Please do provide a source and point out the language in the law that singles out black voters.
 
Except for the Black people who would be symbolically reduced to a lower, subservient, level and demeaned by it.

It's a very sick idea.

And yet why is it that so many black people volunteer to be a part of Civil War Battle reenactments....... What role do you think they are playing hm?

I don't mean anything racial by this folks, but we're clearly dealing with a damn honkey here.

If I could think of an insult to a white guy that WOULD be racial I'd use it.

If there isn't one we should make one up and use it with great frequency.
 
A better question is why should anyone give a damn whether it is or not?

Sounds more homophobic anyway.

Oh, let me answer. Picaninney. Every southern troop formation had one to sing, dance and eat watermelon. Seriously, this crap is so far over the top I find it hard to believe these folks make these claims with a straight face. And Shrubby is going to fight for the elimination of racism in the US from Europe. Somehow I don't think any hatred of racism is at the root of this. I don't know why I would think such a thing...
 
At least be honest about your Wiki article you're linking...

The correct statement from you would've been

I didn't see the need for such a preface, as I had already clearly established where my perspective is established. I said specifically that my citation was from definitions/sociological and that my definition is the sociological one. That I hold my definition to be correct and the most holistic definition is a given.
 
It's a racial slur but not racist. Racism requires institutional backing.

If the system now allows such a double standard that people of color are regarded by one standard and white folks another, that IS institutional, especially when such attitudes extend to actions that are tolerated in one group but suppressed in another.

Everyone is held to the same standard, oppression and privilege by the majority power is racism (the institutionalized dominance of one race over another). Anything less is mere bigotry.
