Every language user who has ever used the terms "black", "white", "asian", or "multi-racial" is racist according to that criterion for what counts as ...
:brow: That's totally coherent. It's exactly what I've been saying all along. It also dovetails nicely with the standard dictionary definitions/most c...
What utter nonsense! Racial discrimination is all about the color of one's skin. You cannot correct racial discrimination without focusing upon it. Yo...
Tell me some stories of how you, your friends, your family, and/or any of your loved ones have suffered racial discrimination... What do you know abou...
I am saying that you are the one doing the stuff which you say is useless... You are the one talking about characterizations, framing, interpretations...
Focusing upon the mass incarceration of BLACKS is to focus - in part - upon skin color. :roll: By your own definition... it's rather inconvenient... t...
Insincerity offends me. You're both all over the place. Perhaps I'll make fun of both of you by simply holding your own words next to one another and ...
Yeah... The exemption and/or immunity from the injustice(s) is the privilege. You're making less and less sense as we go along. Focusing upon economic...
I'm not entirely disagreeing. I'm warning that you seem to be placing the cart ahead of the horse. Complicity and complacency are different things in ...
It seems to me that that account is an oversimplification based upon a couple of false equivalencies. Supporting X is not equivalent to not challengin...
Let's tackle these first... They are all true. They are all necessary. Becoming increasingly aware of the effects/affects and injury that systemic rac...
Yeah. You seem to think that names only refer to people(or perhaps that only proper nouns are names?). Names pick something out of this world to the e...
It's never a good sign when an interlocutor insists upon telling me what I believe, despite my explicitly saying otherwise. If "white privilege" count...
I appreciate your continuing to engage with me here, especially given the depth that your heels were dug in when our exchanges began. Had your underst...
The enumerated list is good. I want to set it aside momentarily and clear up what I see as pivotal aspects to understand... You certainly did. I quote...
Do you realize that that is not at all what I was saying? The bit about "white privilege" being a name was not flippant. That's important. The name pi...
But, what other reason have you given for dismissing my use??? Here, you've acknowledged some utility for my use of "white privilege". You clearly rec...
Is self defeating and self refuting. The term "leftist" is itself identity politics. I abhor such oversimplifications of political concerns. That's a ...
It was not about you personally. Had I known at that time that you were not an American citizen, I may not have asked you. That question is actually t...
Of course. Never believed otherwise. Have no idea why you felt the need to ask me such a question... Again, what makes you think that that description...
Well, I thought we were having an ongoing one. However, you've just (mis)attributed a slew of different ideas, sayings, emotions, and beliefs to me th...
Trump's thumb has been on the response to covid-19. The entire system has forsaken all the knowledge underwriting the stringent rules for clinical tri...
It seems that much of the objections you came into this discussion with involve what you've called "leftist identity politics". You draw a direct corr...
That takes it a bit farther than I would. Being offended by talk of "white privilege" is very shaky ground for denouncing it. People use "white privil...
Injury sustained by individuals because they were non white took place long before the name "white privilege" was first coined. They continue happenin...
It's also worth noting that BLM and "white privilege" are not mutually exclusive and/or incompatible. It's not as if one has to choose between the two...
I've not read all of Banno's comments here. What I know about Banno is that he is very good at keeping things as simple as they can possibly be in ord...
When one actually takes the time to fill in(properly understand what is meant by) "white privilege" they do so solely by virtue of taking into account...
"White privilege" can be effectively used to shed light upon each and every injury suffered by non white individuals because they are non white. White...
"White privilege" when used in the best way, puts a white in the shoes of non whites... Is that what's meant - or close at least - to perspective-taki...
I see that there has been some misunderstanding. Patience and genuine desire to understand one another will go a long way. I appreciate all the effort...
The above is almost acceptable, as it is written. I would remove the implied uncertainty accompanying the use of "ish". I would continue by properly a...
