So, race altogether is avoided as a result.

2019-09-09 07:15:17 UTC  

I never phrased "lack of racism" as a weakness

2019-09-09 07:15:24 UTC  

That's you misinterpreting what I say

2019-09-09 07:16:41 UTC  

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.

2019-09-09 07:17:19 UTC  

I have a fear of people who discuss race, because they like to misintrepret what I say

2019-09-09 07:18:08 UTC  

discussion about race and objective observations between racial divides can be had without making it sound like a fucking conflict

2019-09-09 07:18:24 UTC  

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

2019-09-09 07:18:56 UTC  

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

2019-09-09 07:20:15 UTC  

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.

2019-09-09 07:20:30 UTC  

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.

2019-09-09 07:20:43 UTC  

then where does the "lying or weak" denomination come in?

2019-09-09 07:20:46 UTC  

Yeah it doesn't always work, that's fine

2019-09-09 07:20:55 UTC  

Ah ok

2019-09-09 07:20:55 UTC  

Right

2019-09-09 07:21:01 UTC  

I was honest earlier, and now I'm lying, well fuck you

2019-09-09 07:21:20 UTC  

Does not prove your point

2019-09-09 07:21:35 UTC  

I'm asking you a direct question you whinging bitch

2019-09-09 07:21:48 UTC  

You did several times, and I said you're wrong several times

2019-09-09 07:22:14 UTC  

You always do this, pick selective quotes that prove nothing, because you either take them out of context, or you invent a new context

2019-09-09 07:22:25 UTC  

You LOVE doing this

2019-09-09 07:22:29 UTC  

It's your thing

2019-09-09 07:22:41 UTC  

"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

2019-09-09 07:22:55 UTC  

Ok

2019-09-09 07:22:59 UTC  

Ok, very simple

2019-09-09 07:23:09 UTC  

yes, my questions often are

2019-09-09 07:24:18 UTC  

I'll wait

2019-09-09 07:24:45 UTC  

I observe they are of different skin tones and racial backgrounds, yes, point?

2019-09-09 07:24:55 UTC  

Is one of them white, and one is black? Is that correct?

2019-09-09 07:25:03 UTC  

correct

2019-09-09 07:25:08 UTC  

So you see race, ok

2019-09-09 07:25:19 UTC  

How does that prove that you're a racist?

2019-09-09 07:25:33 UTC  

Are you a racist because you see those differences?

2019-09-09 07:25:35 UTC  

so the difficulty arises from the individual's meaning behind the assertion os *seeing* race,

2019-09-09 07:25:44 UTC  

Tell me if this makes you racist

2019-09-09 07:25:47 UTC  

The fact that you're noticing this

2019-09-09 07:26:03 UTC  

which frankly is the onus of the individudal making the assertion

2019-09-09 07:26:12 UTC  

You know there's a study showing all races experience adrenaline rush/fight or flight responses when they see a member of another race? I believe this was aired on Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman, if my memory serves me just.

2019-09-09 07:26:13 UTC  

You clearly see race

2019-09-09 07:26:19 UTC  

Are you a racist because you see race?
