Proof that black privilege is real
-
@raphjd I guess we're both full of shit. You have advocated for your supposed right to say the n-word throughout this entire thread, which is why you have CONTINUED to use it freely and flagrantly.
"I'm against using racial slurs against any race, which is the point you are too stupid to understand."
Could've fooled me with the way you've been using it casually. If you're so against it, then stop using it "stupid."
I'm too stupid to understand, yet you can't even prove a point without name calling or using racial slurs. I'm too stupid, yet all you've done is deflect any logic anyone has provided, because if it doesn't suit your stupid ass, or your bigoted beliefs, then it can't be right. If I'm stupid, then you live on the same block. Nice to meet you neighbor.

@lololulu19 Okay?? congratulations. You have a ton of uploading credit. That totally excuses racism... not. Not sure how one correlates with the other. You piss off too... or get pissed on. I don't care what you do. Just be as racist in the real world as you are behind the comfort of your anonymity.
-
If you were honest, you'd admit that I didn't start using it until @Honesjones demanded I spell it out.
You just want to call people racist that you don't like, as liberals love to do.
-
@msoft It's people like you who are the most racist.
You have the idea that if you hate white people, that makes you non-racist. How racist is that?And at the same time.. you excuse all racist activity of other races.. as if they are entitled to be racist.
But getting back to the topic.. why are you on this site for 10 years, and not doing anything but being a troll? Personally, I would ban anybody from this site who never uploads nor downloads anything.

@lololulu19 and @raphjd are both making the same argument... either:
- it's OK to be racist against <insert minority here>, because <minority> are racist against me! Here's an example of <insert single minority person> being racist!
- or -
- I need to protect my White Race against these other <insert minority here> people because they're all racist against me! Here's an example of <insert minority group> being racist!
The simple concept of "racism is bad: for all, from all, to all, about all" is incompatible with their beliefs - beliefs that hold that the old "status quo" was "good and equitable", that things were "better" in the past, and where their Whiteness and White Privilege wasn't challenged.
Mind you, they didn't learn these opinions and beliefs as adults, they were ingrained into them as children... thus, these are infallible beliefs that cannot be challenged in their minds... Neither @lololulu19 nor @raphjd are particularly "young" - which means that these "modern fights" for "equality" are seen by them as an attack on what they hold as fundamental, core belief systems!
What's worse, they see it as a zero-sum-game! For there to be "more equality" for other minorities, there must be "less equality" for Whites.
It's this last area that I BELIEVE is the most damaging...
- allowing women the right to vote didn't dilute or threaten Democracy, it strengthened and re-invigorated it!
- allowing blacks and natives to become lawyers, and later judges, didn't damage or demean our legal systems, it strengthened and legitimized them!
The examples are many... there are no limits to how "high (or far) we can go"... giving liberty, freedom, and equality to all only gives more fuel to the engine!
-
Stop making shit up.
No one said it's ok to be racist.
All racism is bad, even when it's against whites.
-

That's the first rational thing you've said in here in months... though the "even if" part is unnecessary... try using a period there... "ALL RACISM IS BAD. -- no caveats needed!
Now, put your money where your mouth is and stop defending White Nationalists and their propaganda!
-
AH, so you're still talking out of your ass.
-
@raphjd There are slurs and offensive words against many communities that exist, and no matter what, I wouldn't type them, let alone say them, and then use someone else demanding that I spell it as an excuse. That person also could have "demanded" that you jump off a building. That doesn't mean that you would have.
I'm over the convo, but you've proven my point several times when I mentioned that you were only interested in a divided country. Your response to that was to call me a "leftist" or something of the sort, and now I'm a liberal, which again only proves my point that you seem to be interested in division. I could be wrong, but I can only go by what I see when the rhetoric is Black/White, Right/Left, Liberal/Conservative etc.

@lololulu19 "You have the idea that if you hate white people, that makes you non-racist. How racist is that?"
Now, you're just reaching lol. None of my comments have even suggested that I said or think this.
"And at the same time.. you excuse all racist activity of other races.. as if they are entitled to be racist."
Again, you're reaching. I haven't done this either lol.
"But getting back to the topic.. why are you on this site for 10 years, and not doing anything but being a troll? Personally, I would ban anybody from this site who never uploads nor downloads anything."
I've actually been working with the moderators to correct my uploads and ratios. For the past month anything I upload doesn't count or update within the system despite me sharing tons of GB worth of data since that time. Thanks for the concern though, I'm hoping to have the problem fixed soon.
-
@msoft You haven't uploaded anything.. nor have you downloaded anything.. in the past 10 years. I can imagine that someone might not be smart enough to know how to upload anything, but there is no reason for them not DOWNLOADING anything in 10 years.
-
Umm, it's your side that has divided the country.
It's your guy that promised to unite the country but repeatedly called the other side names.
It's your side that repeatedly demands segregation of the races.
-
n-word will not vanish it has become a crutch when unintelligent white and black people need to complain. Racism will never vanish in the USA, look at the MAGA movement. Make America Great Again? For who? The time when "America was Great" for trumpites was not great for black people. BTW you did call black people n****gers just by imagining if you refered to them as such.
-
Of course, racism exists. No one ever said otherwise.
America was great when we still had manufacturing. Blacks also lost out when all those jobs left.
Umm, NO. Pointing out that it would cause a shit storm if I called blacks that name is pointing out that just that. Compare that to the way people are defending calling whites racist names.
-
@raphjd "Your side" this, and "your side" that. There you go proving my point again lol
-
Ah, so my side just has to allow your side to do whatever it wants, for "unity".
-
No one should be describing anyone except by anything but their name and/or clothing anytime you post something and say “If I said &$@@&” that is just pointing to fact that you say that’s things, but you don’t want the world to think or know that of you. What I hear is you say it all the time in private. Hidden racism is the most dangerous in my opinion.@raphjd

You being the good liberal that you are, believe that only whites can be racist.

Actually, me being the scientist that I am believes that the whole construct of race has been proven to be invalid. We are - genetically, and scientifically speaking - one "race": the Human Race.
"In the biological and social sciences, the consensus is clear: race is a social construct, not a biological attribute."
- https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/science-genetics-reshaping-race-debate-21st-century/Oh, but you were taught about the 3 (or 5) different races as a small child - this destroys your "world view", so it must be false... never-mind that the DNA of humans hadn't even begun to be studied when you were "taught" about races 150 years ago (joking - 40 years ago? 30? even 20!)...
ANY idea that one person's ancestry gives them innate power over others is genetically absurd, and proven to be so...
And, as I've pointed out in these forums before, the American "idea" of race as being principally tied to skin color is unheard of in most other parts of the World - where White Christians and White Jews very much believe they are of different races! Not only that, but White Jews and Darker-Skinned Jews - even Black Jews - very much believe that they are of the same race: the Jewish race!
And again - it's all in our collective heads... there is NO biological difference ... and basing decisions - pro-White, pro-Black, or otherwise based on outdated concepts of "race" is wrong.
While that is scientifically true, it is of little value to ignore the social constructs and ancestral histories that have provided "race-based" advantages and disadvantages to people of certain skin colors based on these outdated and dis-proven concepts of "differences"...
While there is no scientific basis for race differentiation, there certainly are social and societal bases... it will take generations for us - as a society - to tear down these now discredited social belief systems. And it will take a concerted effort - among all - to accelerate the path to a "one race" society... but that won't be my generation, nor even my grandchildren's... and so each generation must do its part to move us (societally) to a more honest and just acceptance of people - all people - as "racially" equals...
Sounds "pie in the sky" - but 400 years ago, it was a popular belief that Black people were "inherently inferior" to other races - and were incapable of being educated to the same degree as Whites! (That's historical fact, not my belief!) Take a look at any college campus today and you'll see proof that those beliefs were wrong - and while considerable progress has been made, there is much more to be done...
