From whence systemic racism come if not from systems put in place by racists?

Oops. Sorry about the length of that post. I got on a roll I suppose... :mask:

I am working from a notion of systemic racism that is all about the American government, and the racist belief systems underwriting it. Many of those ...

If all poetry is meaningful to the creator/writer, then there's something quite important missing in AI 'renderings'... isn't there?

Does any of it rhyme, or is it all free verse?

I'd like to see how the legalization of outsourcing from places with illegal(in the States) labor practices ties into the systemic racism in the US go...

Topic is systemic racism... while capitalism overlaps with racist issues, it's coincidental.

No, they do not. However, they can and do change. I'm wondering something here. I'll grant everything you've said here, and further state - unequivoca...

This places patent rights in too negative a light. If someone can prove that the way they are doing something, typically manufacturing a product, has ...

Extremely high functioning?

Surely some of those people who were raised in racist households knew and/or learned of better, and in doing so helped others to do the same... That, ...

Not just people of color either. It was also except those who owned nothing of financial(market-based) value. It was also except women, regardless of ...

Seemed fairly well educated and knowledgable, from what little I read from him. The weirdness of his comments on race surprised me though! I suppose h...

You're just calling the ability to choose between options "free will". I'm not interested... Be well.

I know that this is way off topic, but jeesh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes this, and I'm no quantum theorist.

An inevitable side affect from doing philosophy! :wink:

Michael and Street covered this... There were no less rapes happening before scantily clad dress and women drinking was acceptable.

And here I thought Epstein hung himself in jail... yet he lives in your words, along with all the other sick fuckers in this world who do shit like he...

You can say that two times... and then ask them exactly what meaning takes... what do all cases of the attribution of meaning include?

Good. Just be aware that many who do say that pave the way for doing so by saying things like you've been saying. The problem is the wrong kinds of at...

The short of it... There is much more to a person(women included) than just their sexual aspects...

Regarding the last claim:I'd rather be lucky than good, because when the two meet, the lucky one wins, or so they say. However, I am inclined to agree...

Yeah... some around here say stuff that smacks of "they had it coming to them" when dressed a certain way and drunk... after being raped. Pathetic.

Not a good start. A woman can walk around naked and not want to be treated as just a sex object, partner, or what have you. You are not realizing that...

Oh brother... Fer fuck's sake. Not all women are the same. Some may not understand themselves. Understanding women is no different than understanding ...

The current revolution brings them out...

By virtue of drawing correlations between different things.

And yet here you are separating them...

I'll bite my tongue...

Indeed it does. It's what we call "north of", as compared/contrasted to being north of.

I think that this is mistaken March. The relation which we call "north of" already exists prior to our calling it such, but... it is not the same thin...

A well informed electorate is crucial to a representative form of government. That's what's missing.

It's the name given to a spatial relation between a plurality of things. It is not so much neither... Rather, it is both.

To exist is to have an effect/affect.

Actually when it comes to talking about the human will and whether or not it makes any sense at all to claim that it is free... Calling the will "free...

A book's worth of thought and/or belief about three words that amount to a false equivalence? Things like that bug me about certain philosophers. Bewi...

"Free will" is a manmade conventional name. It was invented solely as a means to exhonerate the God of Abraham from the existence of evil. That need c...

The key is acquiring understanding and/or knowledge of what all thought and belief have in common such that having that commonality makes them what th...

I'm interested in unpacking it... I'm not objecting to it, per se. I'm very aware of what it means to be thrown. I'm also painfully aware of what it t...
