So instead of answering the question to define your own use of terms, you swing at me with this off-topic crap? If you want to take this to another th...

After reading this part, did you laugh out loud as if I had a chance in hell to launch an investigation into the corporation because they're showing p...

Every time an employer hires a person because they are black. I'm a current participant in the job market. But this goes back to another thing I said,...

Why are you quoting my posts and then editing them without any notification that you edited them (trolling), instead of answering a simple question I ...

So for you, "meaning" is only a causal mental phenomenon, but that doesn't seem to apply to how we commonly use the term, "meaning", or "means". For m...

Nonsense. The way you keep taxes low is keeping the government small - which is a fundamental tenant of libertarianism, not a concession a libertarian...

No, you haven't missed anything. I have asked numerous times for the ones making these spooky claims to point to the racist culprits, but I can't get ...

Then define "prejudice". Is this really that difficult? You're the ones throwing around this word inconsistently. How exactly are you using it? It see...

Logic. Your skin color only matters in biological/medical contexts, not in political/judiciary contexts.

Great! I'm so glad that you finally see the error in your logic, Donkey.

I don't see how this makes any difference. My response would be the same. Why would it not be responsible for black men and boys to be aware of their ...

Then how about answering both questions as separate items?

That falls under the category error argument I made. The only time that I see race being a factor in making a decision would be in a medical or biolog...

Then define "prejudiced". So you're saying it's okay to view police as a perceived threat, but not to view someone being belligerent and refusing to o...

So, how do I get at your meaning, if all I can get at is my own? If there are patterns of behavior that exist independent of, and prior to my applicat...

Wait, are you saying that your words have meaning independent of how I interpreted their meaning? Are you saying that I am wrong in how I interpreted ...

How is it subjective when your experience is part of the world and is an effect and a cause of other things? What does that even mean to insert, "subj...

LOL. How can there be a copy of anything? Doesn't that require an objective process? How can we even say that the copies are the similar? They are dif...

Then we would all come to different meanings. How is it that we don't? How do we communicate? What purpose would anyone produce marks on screen for? A...

Sure they do have a objective meaning. You typed them, didn't you? If you didn't how did they get on the screen? So, the existence of your post means ...

Where is your explanation or definition - only in your head, or is it out on the forum right now? When we point to your explanation, do we point to yo...

Right, you're saying what you did independent of what I thought you did. Is what you did really the case, independent of what I thought you did? It se...

The actuality you provided wasn't in your head, it was on the forum. So you aren't supplying an explanation of what is in your head, but a state-of-af...

Did I say that, or use the word, "subjective" in my post that you replied to? Instead of putting words in my mouth, and wondering about things I didn'...

Now you are providing an actuality - what words mean independent of how anyone else interpreted what you said. You don't seem to realize that what you...

:rofl: Libertarians aren't conservatives. They are fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. That would be like someone saying, "Many libertarians ...

How would we ever know that we have simulated all natural phenomema? It's a different question than asking if we could understand the model, isn't it?

Equal treatment simply means treating people the same in a particular instance when the difference between people doesn't matter in that particular in...

It's not a strawman. I'm attacking 180's double-standard. So, you're saying that prejudice exists in everyone? What about minorities? Do they have bia...

This doesn't make my statement invalid or off-topic. I'm asking clarification of what you mean by "understanding" and "figure it out".

How is that an important part of consciousness? Important for what? What do we even mean by, "what things are like experientially to the bearer of the...

It seems to me that you are providing an objective explanation of what is "understanding" and "explanations" - one that is the case for everyone. So, ...

You forgot to call this one. :rofl: If only we lived in a world where dragons actually did exist, or in a country where systematic racism did exist. B...

Science is asking what the problem is. Again, what is what is useful in knowing what form the bat's consciousness takes? Are we trying to get at what ...

I would like to know how we came to understand anything at all. It seems to me that an explanation is a declaration of understanding. What is "underst...

Right, but what is useful in knowing what form the bat's consciousness takes? Are we trying to get at what the bat knows, or the form its knowledge ta...

In other words, there are people that want special treatment, not equal treatment. For what purpose should I notice one's skin color in a job intervie...

I did. The only coherent idea I get from your inconsistent posts is that you are inconsistent.

This is your first post in the thread: You're condoning the racial profiling of "white cops" as all possessing group-think - as if all white cops see ...

What would be the point in asking such a question? What knowledge would we be getting that we couldn't acquire by thinking about it differently?

I still don't see the need for the term, "like". Then we should be saying "what it is to be a bat's consciousness" and "what it is to be a bat's body"...

What is central to one's identity? Doesn't it differ from individual to individual? There are people who don't see their skin color as part of their i...

That's your's, unenlightened and 180's position - that genetics isn't just relevant, it's all that matters. You're saying ignoring genetics (skin colo...

Banno says so: (Even though it's the only thing Banno has gotten right in this thread)

I don't understand Nagel's question. Is he asking what it is to be the whole bat, or just it's brain, or what? And why are we saying "what it's like" ...

Accuse me of being a racist and then tells me he loves me. That is essentially the logic you have displayed in this thread.

:roll:

It's not as I like. If it were we'd be having a reasonable conversation, but not having one is what you like.

I'm responding to things that you said in your posts. You don't own your posts? You simply can't backup your claims with any real evidence or logic. I...

BS. Prove that people get killed because of race often. You're equating the frequency of people getting killed by race (and how do you know it's becau...
