I was using racial oppression as the term Benkei suggest to you. Which from his perspective is a redundancy for you because from your perspective this...

There is no need to help people organise a pissing contest to see which group is the most oppressed. Oppression is created primarily through the depri...

Who spoke of "ending racial discrimination"? My use of the term prejudice is taken from the definition you gave as a quote. Ah, what can I say, I like...

Racism.

You insist equity is crucial for ending an aspect of racial oppression which is absent from your definition. Your definition of racial oppression as a...

I thought that would be your position but doesn't that mean your definition is incomplete? It makes no mention of equity.

You share basically nothing with your "Jewish ancestors", no history, no culture, no religion, nothing. It's like comparing 21st century British Catho...

I like your definitions, 180, but I'm surprised it makes no mention of racial inequity because that's where I usually end up getting into conflict wit...

Things like affirmative action are certainly caught in the crossfire of this conflation, it's somewhere between counteracting racism, being racist its...

I've had many debates about racism at this point, I want to point out that one of the major roadblocks to discussing racism is the conflation of racis...

You're quite sensitive, comically so. Looking at your thread here and your other discussion, name a poster who responded to you, who you're pretty sur...

You say "thus" as though you've laid forth an argument but there's no argument, what is the "pattern of conformity" and what is the problem with it?

These egalitarian shifts are pretty new, most of what you're talking about has taken place in the last eighty years. Things are shifting at an unbelie...

From 2016 to 2020, Trump was the president of the US, isn't that enough to demonstrate that it's not over? A guy won the US election by campaigning to...

I've had conversations with more or less every poster in this thread, I already know all of them oppose "racism" in a general sense. However, from bit...

In almost every Western nation, these issues, racism and gender, for example, are being fiercely debated, I don't think it's clear how things are goin...

You mean from the perspective of functionality, we do not need to debate the definition of racism, maybe that's true but politically, there is reason ...

Perhaps I am misunderstanding something, when you call it semantics you're just saying that we're discussing the meaning of the word racism? Why even ...

I disagree, if only because racism as a word has social, cultural and political significance in the West. There are significant repercussions to each ...

I think @"ssu" nailed it when he said that the narratives branched out in two completely separate ways. It's always useful to remember that the averag...

Much of this thread has discussed this matter as though it is necessary to decide who is in the right. Hamas or Israel? When the only sensible answer ...

Hamas operates like a small nation, the IRA is a domestic terrorist organisation, the scale is incomparable. Just the premise of this latest conflict,...

I'm sure 180 condemns any hostile treatment of LGBTQ... What didn't you understand? By calling Israel an apartheid state, by saying they're guilty of ...

Being called pretentious and such is harsher than being called a human right's abuser? 180, what's telling is that you actually believe that what I ca...

This is a philosophy forum, not a board arbitrating real-world matters, the quality of the discourse is actually the most important thing here. This i...

It's a great term, one can't understand the modern left without it.

"Tone" is a generous euphemism for being belligerent and disingenuous, you actually seem to think you're important in the matter of Israel, your statu...

When did I make any excuses for Israel? I agree that Israel is an apartheid state, they annexed land in 1967 but they don't want the people who were l...

Hamas might be sensitive to that but I've heard their objective here is probably more to do with elections that were supposed to take place in Gaza an...

The government can't execute the will of the population, because the population has no idea how to govern a nation. The main purpose of the government...

Idiot, moron, nincompoop. @"Maw" how am I doing? I am sympathetic to Palestinians and here's the proof.

People support Israel? What a surprise. Oh, wait, no it's not, you're already aware that hundreds of millions of people across the globe support Israe...

This thread is really ugly, the usual suspects are really just going hard on the name-calling, insults and hyperbole. Just like the Trump thread a whi...

Are you asking if those who organised the Holocaust thought their actions were morally abhorrent? Isn't it self-explanatory by the fact they organised...

This is the problem with trying to use logic as a base for morality as if it's a purely intellectual idea. There is no concrete logic to morality, the...

Di Angelo does not claim that every white person is affected by white fragility and that would be an absurd claim. I also think that a lot of what she...

I think that Di Angelo has a point, although, I take issue with her phrasing, putting that aside, I think that many people do feel threatened by the i...

This is a little ambiguous, is it really "white people" that CRT is trying to tear down? This is seemingly a big premise in your argument but can you ...

I don't know why you are so insistent on having people read your paper, I listened to it for a bit and well first of all, if someone tried to read you...

They're not mutually exclusive, a good deed doesn't have to involve self-sacrifice, acting appropriately doesn't require noble motivations. Morality b...

Morality often just the logic used to justify naturally occurring emotional and psychological reactions to events. I think it correlates with ones emo...

I don't think CRT is clashing with liberalism and I don't understand your argument for saying it does. We already know that equal and fair treatment o...

Either? Or neither? I can give different justifications for why selecting specific races for privileges is a bad idea. Keep things simple and help peo...

Equality and equity are just two very different things, sometimes pursuing equality alone just perpetuates the unfairness. Such as leaving the rich an...

Each racial group should be given equal treatment but accomplishing equity among racial groups should not be a goal. I see inequity as a product of sy...

It's a matter of how one's time, effort and wealth is dedicated towards one's personal goals and wants. It's that simple, the intricacies don't matter...

What I'm saying is that money is easily transferable between hands, it's a singular value that is always present in life. The opportunity to part with...

Your example makes things unnecessarily complicated, what makes OP easier is that we're talking about money, money used to save someone's life, the sa...

Yes, they're comparable because our lifestyles already reflect our priorities when it comes to saving people we don't know. If Lif3r's reasoning was t...

You virtue signal and that's all, even now, you're focused on demonstrating the superiority you think you have and that's about it. Next Lif3r thread:...
