Whether or not we desire cultural reforms and such.
I'm not condoning racism, I'm explaining it
And I know a solution for it
I think everyone is just too paranoid we're going to declare a final solution, rather than have a reasonable dialogue that doesn't require genocide.
phrasing it as "safe" or "unsafe" or "weak" and shit is a good way to make your ideology sound fucking combative
I doubt that
So, race altogether is avoided as a result.
I never phrased "lack of racism" as a weakness
That's you misinterpreting what I say
Well, ET, that's the historical trend of recognizing racial differences, rather than reforming the culture associated with the race. Thus, you have a fear of discussing race with clear eyes.
I have a fear of people who discuss race, because they like to misintrepret what I say
discussion about race and objective observations between racial divides can be had without making it sound like a fucking conflict
I believe racism can be solved by simply bringing people together, so they learn from direct and personal experiences that the larger group of whatever race they're afraid of is actually benevolent, just as any other racial group
Because just as much as we pick up on outward appearance in a fight or flight situation, we also pick up on it in a safe environment
How does that sound to you now Jokerfaic? Change your mind about how racist I appear to you? Because I hope it does, and I hope you remember that next time we talk.
That is true, but you have the issue of minority groups also becoming hegemonic in some ways, directing popular culture. Take pop and rap culture in America, for example. Sometimes it doesn't always work out that way, especially if you don't take steps to fill the vacuum beforehand.
then where does the "lying or weak" denomination come in?
Yeah it doesn't always work, that's fine
Ah ok
Right
Does not prove your point
I'm asking you a direct question you whinging bitch
You did several times, and I said you're wrong several times
You always do this, pick selective quotes that prove nothing, because you either take them out of context, or you invent a new context
You LOVE doing this
It's your thing
"People who say they don't see race are **lying or weak**"
I'm asking where that fits in your plan of comingling and understanding
Ok
Ok, very simple
yes, my questions often are
Do you see an obvious skin color difference between these two people?

I'll wait
I observe they are of different skin tones and racial backgrounds, yes, point?
Is one of them white, and one is black? Is that correct?
correct
So you see race, ok
How does that prove that you're a racist?
Are you a racist because you see those differences?
so the difficulty arises from the individual's meaning behind the assertion os *seeing* race,
