fdrake is just doing exactly what makes the criticism of the framing correct, by showing that those who see the world through it, are in fact most pro...

To talk incredibly simply, systemic racism discriminates against the "blackness" of a black American, we want to hear about how this happened from the...

When you say the class system is not sustainable - do you mean morally, politically, economically? When we look at Amazon, we see a company utterly de...

I suppose I could have been more precise in my language, I think most of the support for the white privilege framing comes from the same people who pe...

I don't think I said that white privilege can only be understood using the leftist identity politics ideology but it's no coincidence that posters lik...

Leftist identity politics is just a name, right? That's how things work, give names... Don't complain about my clearly biased framing, it's just a nam...

Perhaps. I ran into this issue with you earlier where you asked me if I wanted to be treated like black people are known to be treated by police and y...

If white privilege is to be viewed as a fact, and one denies facts, can it be called anything but ignorance? What else can I conclude but what I have?

Using the term "white privilege" doesn't give you a monopoly over opposition towards racism, you realise that right? There is no use trying to tell me...

I am not asking you to comment on his comments to me. If a white person disagrees with the white privilege framing, is it fair to characterise them as...

I don't think that was his point and I'm not sure what made you think it was.

If you want to have a serious debate about whether your definition is standard, I'd be more than happy have it. It is not an argument you are going to...

I can't imagine what you think a more egregious example might be but okay.

Sure, the level of moral severity differs, arguably, between examples of racism. I am not equating racism to other kinds of prejudice. If I can demons...

I mean I did already think you were a racist so it's a certainty that I'm biased against you but I am always open to being corrected.

We agree that it can dictate any narrative, thus, this too and the opposite. Wouldn't you agree?

Sure.

It was pretty good because you agree with it or it was a pretty good argument?
