Because it's incredibly unproductive and some of the those businesses we burn might even belong with disabled people. Or maybe siblings or parents of ...

We get it - you want equality: Who doesn't? Who wouldn't want a more fair America? I definitely get it. Showing you my victimhood card here - I am dis...

Sure, I get what you're saying here and it probably comes down to his we define 'objectification.' I do notice a lot of language around sex involves o...

I'm just thrilled you're able to acknowledge personal responsibility. As individuals we can't really control external social systems, but we can contr...

I wouldn't call them "essentially important" but they can be important when it comes to forming connections and relationships due to how someone else'...

An entire community so furious - so even the rich white kids who decide to go into a mall in an urban area and vandalize it during the riots are just....

Sure, and what if they wanted to destroy and loot your house after? I mean it's just the voice of the under-privileged, who are you to object? Surely ...

Good sex is animalistic, and I think objectification during sex is entirely natural and fine. After sex, if you're going to carry on a relation with t...

I'm sure there's more you'd like to change about the US outside the scope of BLM. Hell, plenty of people think the tax code is unfair are we going to ...

I think you need to look up the meaning of non-sequitur. In any case, there already have been these transitions and reforms without massive riots so t...

All you can say is that peaceful means have have not worked so far. What are even the demands exactly? I have no idea what dismantling systemic racism...

You can't just say that political lobbying doesn't work. I'm not a police expert by any means, but I know in Camden they did some reforms or in other ...

Ok we're gonna break more windows and burn stuff down that'll get America on our side. In any case, don't do evil so that good may come.

Then that's their problem. Those people are just bad at thinking. I think it's imperative that we deal with them as separate things. No problem at all...

I don't understand why it's an "either/or" scenario... why can't we find both important? I understand you might not care about a building being set on...

We need to make a sharp distinction between protesters and rioters. I have no problem with protesters. I am not calling peaceful protesters rioters, I...

Ok if you don't support the "disturbances" that's fine. Your quote did imply it though. As to whether I'm gunning for a fight... am I just not allowed...

But don't you support the riots against police brutality? It's just Americans doing their civic duty.

Interesting how if a group of white people went out and destroyed a black owned business everyone would be upset, but if the same action were done bec...

I have a 10 hour video for you to watch on race. I'd like you to watch it and then respond with an 8-10 page paper properly annotated (MLA format). Un...

I read somewhere that of the top 200 times in the 100m dash all of them are held by black men (this was a few years ago but have things really changed...

No, I'm not going to take 50 minutes out of my day before I'm allowed to respond. What then, do I need to address every point in the video? I have 3 b...

Take a look at the top 100m sprinters in the world. They come from all over the world - not just Jamaica, but also the US, Canada, Africa, even Great ...

I don't think it's skin color strictly speaking, but why do blacks dominate on the track? The most straight-forward, common reason relates to the quan...

The reason blacks are faster is because they have I think on average a higher amount of fast twitch muscles. That's just the case. I'm pretty sure eve...

Tim, it's not just American blacks. Blacks from all over the world dominate sprinting; it's not even close. You have Jamaican blacks, Canadian blacks,...

I believe race is to a large extent socially constructed, but I can't ignore biology entirely: It's no mistake that our greatest athletes and fastest ...

Ok, I'll define it as someone who holds the belief that one race is superior to another. I'd also include in the definition the idea that racial group...

99.9% of white people are racist? Are you white? If so, then you're basically admitting that you're racist. Why should I listen to a racist on the sub...

Damn it, ya got us. Why'd Atwater have to spill the beans? He told you not to quote him! Guess us neolibs got a lot of repair work to do now. On a mor...

https://twitter.com/CHSommers/status/1270861024162222080/photo/1 I am tired of the systemic Asian Supremacy of the United States. We need to stop the ...

Depends on the definition. If we say a given policy - even if not intended to be racist - can have consequences which disproportionately harm a minori...

Let me clarify, sure, if I was told "hey, you're about to be born somewhere in the world, would you rather be white?" I'd say yes. If I was told "hey,...

Sure, if we took the entire world in aggregate I would rather be white but if we were to confine our discussion to a given community or country you'd ...

We're talking about the US, I take it? In other countries I take it we could talk about black or Asian privilege? Did you know that Asians actually ha...

Ok great, we're on the same page now. If there is such a plot then we live in a horribly disgusting racist state. Or maybe it's just the police depart...

Disproportionate murder of black people by police or just in general? Blacks in the US disproportionately commit murder, and when they do murder they ...

Ok. When the US has explicit policy forcing black people into ghettos or encourages the boycott or destruction of black owned businesses you let me kn...

Are you familiar with the Wannsee conference? Are you familiar with the official racial policies of Nazi Germany? They didn't even try to hide it.

White men get lynched by state apparatuses on a regular basis as well. Cops must hate white people.

The way Jews were treated in 1930s Germany is not remotely comparable to the way blacks are treated in the US currently.

The war certainly saved Jewish lives - not just Jewish lives, but also gypsies, homosexuals, the disabled, etc. Without the war there would have been ...

No, it was because the Nazis invaded Poland.

The roots of consumerism (i.e. an obsession with purchasing and material things often as a means of status signaling) is as old as time. It's a part o...

I wouldn't be surprised if personal experience plays a bigger role in making someone a racist than we might at first realize. Bad experiences with ano...

Great post. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

I don't know about organic, but I think this conception of the state is an interesting one and I've been thinking about it for a while. I was original...

I understand it's people, but it's also rules and laws and judges. It's a complex system. A threat can still exist to a state even if no one in the go...

None of those. I guess I'm talking about an abstraction, maybe. I believe the primary function or purpose of a state is protection: maybe that's prote...

Hey Brett, I didn't mean to abandon the discussion. In any case you've thrown a lot of questions at me and I'll start with one or two and I guess we'l...
