Right. So you're choosing to no longer agree to all we've agreed upon(changing your mind) because you now see where those agreements have led? If you ...
Cheers. I am a bit disappointed though, because we barely scratched the surface regarding the offense that some feel at the very mention of "white pri...
I believe that you believe that you completely understand what I'm saying. I, however, do not share the belief that you do, because there are some thi...
I do not necessarily think that you are lying. I do think that given the facts that - you've claimed to agree with some of my premisses, and also clai...
Step back a moment and pause to reflect on this... I use "white privilege" as it was taught to me by non whites. I draw correlations between "white pr...
There are a couple of points that need to be made here... First, it's not a 'problem with the concept' at all. It is a distinguishing feature, and a v...
That's disappointing too. Either you're lying now, or you lied earlier, or you're just contradicting yourself. No matter which is the actual case, it ...
Well, perhaps this holds perfectly good with simple physical and/or material things. It's far less applicable to that which is not. Racism is not a si...
Effectively ending racism requires understanding both it's motivations and it's effects/affects. White privilege is an effect/affect of racism. Effect...
Your having gone to college and being white is not white privilege. White privilege is the negative effects/affects of systemic racism that you do not...
Disappointing that your openly expressed gratitude was accompanied by such a short-lived acceptance. Typically, when we say that we accept that there ...
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. There's still a long way to go. I barely touched on the offense aspect. I'm still quite uncertain whether or not ...
Nine months ago I was thinking about the liar and wrote the following... "This sentence is false" is incapable of being false. It is also incapable of...
In a nutshell... Talking about white privilege is required in order to understand the effects/affects of racism. The removal of white privilege would ...
It can be the case that "white privilege" is used unfairly against any and all successful white people. It is sometimes used as a slight, implying tha...
If you cannot see the need to do whatever can be done to remove president Trump from office, then there's not much more I can say to convince you to v...
At least act like to understand Bernie... seeing how you claim to be a supporter. Clearly you do not grasp what he has stood for all these years. You ...
I'm sorry, but this thread - particularly the terminological use presented in the OP - hinges upon incoherent use of some key terms. That renders this...
This is clearly an emotionally charged topic. It's best for white privilege to be clearly defined, because it seems that many people hereabouts and el...
I'm asking you how you can agree that systemic racism exists, but reject that white privilege does. I'm doing so by incorporating, as best I can, the ...
What's wrong with taking the conversation out of the complete abstract and adding some actual substance? You've already agreed that it's a real life s...
It makes no sense to ask these sorts of questions about white privilege. "White privilege" is all of the different benefits and/or privileges that whi...
That's where you go off the rails... We agree that systemic racism exists. White privilege is an inevitable consequence of systemic racism(implemented...
I can see how that could be problematic. There are some very important 'concepts' being discussed. However, I'm stuck on the fact that you do not seem...
I've been sitting back reading this thread with the hopes of better understanding what Judaka was getting at in the OP. You've found a way to tease it...
If history is any indication, with these two, the necessary changes will likely not be made any time soon. However, Those two are much closer to makin...
Nah. Hammers do not have purposes. They are used for our purposes. Having a purpose could be rendered as aiming to do something or other in particualr...
It does not follow from the fact that we've been wrong about some things that we've been wrong about everything. It does not follow from the fact that...
Kamala Harris' speech at the DNC offers a glimpse of hope that some of the unraveling will be mended soon... That was a brilliantly crafted speech. Sh...
Yes. I definitely concur. They are different words. They're not the only such set though. Bird and birds. The difference is quantity. The latter is a ...
Someone recently mentioned the inconvenient facts regarding the actual public policies being implemented during those times so long ago still yearned ...
For a start, I would not use the term "truth" in so many different ways. It's called an equivocation fallacy. It causes confusion at best, and is a su...
Ok. Substitution then results in the following... It is not a flaw, it is an unavoidable consequence of intelligence, that you are able to arrange tru...
Well I think background context matters quite a bit here. How does one know what exactly. Different bits of knowledge can be known in different ways, ...
Can someone quote something from Asif that had any sort of philosophical thinking going on? I think, but could be wrong, that that's part of what coun...
