OH HIM

I KNOW HIM

he did a ted talk didnt he

I don't think that works on most people

He did a ted talk and a lot of podcasts

It works a hell of a lot better than ignoring them and preaching to choirs

And not because people are ignorant or anything but because it's not actually persuasive

Racial supremacy is an idea just like anything else and the best way to counter ideas is to argue against them

If I care about my mom you cannot give me a single argument to change me, but you can point out things she may have done to wrong me and perhaps change my opinion

Its the perfect time to point out the literal absurdity of race based politics

What does absurd mean

Ridiculous, not based in legitimate information or theory

The idea of race having a significant impact on anything other than minor physiology and skin melanin is factually false

Agreed

You were born with whatever skin tone you have, and it shouldn't be something to hold someone accountable on

My ancestors might have been slave owners

My ancestors may have been slaves themselves

I'm particularly Irish

So..

But we never talk about that

I mean, from a certain perspective, at one point all of ireland was slave to the crown

Yeah people kinda forget that for a long time it wasn't about skin color it was about being a dirty foreigner

Yeah, true. You see, I don't know much about the Irish slaves because guess what? They don't teach that in schools anymore

Yeah, but eventually it turned into skin color

People weren't given the same opportunities because of their race

Because they weren't seen as people

Even after slavery was abolished

When slavery *was* still a thing, blacks were seen as objects

But not anymore, i don't get why everyone dwells on the past

GG @Braden's Husband, you just advanced to level 3!

Eyy

I mean there are a lot of the remains of institutionalized racism in the US, like a lot of black communities are impoverished to due to long standing institutionalized racism that, at one point, existed but doesn't anymore. So trying to solve that is definitely a big deal but I do not think its through bailouts and a welfare state.
