That sounds about right, but I do believe racial-colorblindness is required in order to not be racist, that it is a fundamental step to refusing racis...
I’m not a republican, but if it was established that the sole reason Trump withheld funds was for political dirt for an election I would say it was wo...
The waffling between this straw man and the next suggests to me most of the criticism of color-blindness is made of straw. No, it’s not to refuse seei...
Well, race is one thing and ethnicity, gender, disability, etc. are quite another. Though it is possible, I am unaware of anyone, liberal or otherwise...
Our president went off the cuff this morning, speaking candidly about everything dominating Washington news. It really is a sight to behold. https://y...
It is a tricky question because it assumes first that there is something it is like to be X. What is this something? I would argue it is X and we’d ha...
Great thinking. Thanks for sharing it. It is counter-intuitive, but the statement is true both figuratively and literally, at least on the basis that ...
The administration’s policies, sanctions and arms deals are contra Putin. On the Record I’d be weary of the growing neo-McCarthyism now plaguing the p...
Races are the mental chains that early racists strung around vast, disparate and diverse groups of people to justify their oppression and conquering. ...
Race isn’t the acknowledge of personhood, but the denial of it. It is another mental nation within which one can dissolve his or another’s individuali...
The racial context is the problem to begin with. Seeing everything through “the lens of race”, as critical race theorists propose, is to adopt the sam...
I’m wondering how you could know any of the following: It sounds more like an admission of guilt or projection than of fact. Could I hazard a guess th...
I agree on some things and disagree on others. If they say the water is wet, I would agree. As for this particular topic, there is little to no agreem...
This might sound too simple, but I think these sorts of problems typically arise when we turn adjectives and verbs into nouns via nominalization. So i...
As you said, this another common strawman. Of course people are judged by the color of heir skin. That’s no question. Color blindness is merely that w...
Mulvaney never said it was a quid pro quo, nor admitted such. You guys are twisting his words and quote-mining for political gain. These are the reaso...
I’m not theist, nor ever was, but I have experienced nihilism in a similar manner. I could only imagine how it may be for a person raised on religion,...
This “fantasy” was the goal of the best part of the civil rights era, and the message was used to end apartheid and Jim Crow, back when people were op...
That’s a pretty shitty answer. I was merely asking if race factors into your own judgement, and if not, why should it factor into the judgement of oth...
Another reason to be skeptical of equality of opportunity is that opportunities are only available in a particular time and place, out of the reach of...
The basics should give you a general understanding of what philosophy entails. Personally, I never read philosophy in order to learn what to think, bu...
We could just call it “privilege”, then, without racializing it. Do you prefer judging people according to the content of their character, or does the...
A wall feels harsh. Well that about explains it. He should have proposed it differently. Let’s quibble about how it was proposed, and not what was pro...
The problem, as I see it, is that you’re treating individuals in accordance with their group membership, their “identity”, and not their individuality...
Asylum seekers can enter legally through secure points of entry, like everyone else. Either way, only 53% of those who state they have a “credible fea...
A 30ft metal wall is a minor obstacle? What a dangerous lie. Tell that to the woman who impaled herself n the same wall. Tell that to the man who brok...
Apparently the article you linked to is about this study, which uses “group threat theory in its analysis. They have the clear mind to at least admit ...
Barriers of all sorts have been used to great effect since time immemorial right until today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_barrier#List_of_c...
As I intimated, the set-up I would imagine is a moral society where we help one another on our own accord, with no need for a statist safety net. This...
The risk is the essentialism involved in racism, I think. There is an essence, characteristic, or set of “racial traits” for members of races, when su...
Right, the worst excesses of socialism was really capitalism. Even if they never quite reached “true socialism”, they did it in its name, and here are...
