My English is lacking I think because I don't seem to understand this comment. Can you give an example of "focus on whiteness here is entirely regress...

Right. So because you're afraid of your opponent you're just not going to stand for anything? Wonderful. No wonder the US needs riots to get some shit...
June 08, 2020 at 21:02
How about, I think it's an interesting idea. Defund the police is, in my view, a way of saying that we need to more effectively address social problem...

Cuomo likes to pretend it's a "few bad apples" problem by releasing disciplinary records. That will help. :confused:
June 08, 2020 at 20:37
So Biden is against defunding the police. Great way of wasting an opportunity to consolidate a lead. Do Democrats want to lose? I mean, at least lie a...

didn't find anything. I think it was some weird ass advert.

Scanning now. Thanks.

Churchill quotes and the actions of his government with respect to Indian independence aren't hard to find. I've given you the definition of crime aga...

Droll. You complained about presentism, I set out common declarations of his time on the basic of which he could be considered a war criminal and raci...
June 08, 2020 at 16:56
That's not an answer.
June 08, 2020 at 16:47
How about the standards of 1945 as I just did?
June 08, 2020 at 16:37
Is it presentism though? What were the prevalent ideas on race, racism and race hatred in the 30s and 40s? It was certainly more widespread but was it...

Interesting. Many years ago I was struggling with why black Dutchmen were advocating against Zwarte Piet so vocally. https://www.aljazeera.com/mritems...
June 08, 2020 at 14:54
What exactly about my questions is sleazy or dishonest? I'm trying to establish whether we are even talking about the same historic facts and how to c...

Approximately zero white men. Your turn.
June 08, 2020 at 12:37
I was fine with a ballpark figure. I take it you agree then that white men, compared to women and black people, were in fact not disenfranchised or di...
June 08, 2020 at 12:34
You don't know whether in the past 450 years many white people were enslaved or not based on the colour of their skin? You don't know whether in the p...
June 08, 2020 at 12:24
Right. So, you get to ignore my questions, rant a bit, call me names etc.? Just answer the questions. That's all I ask.
June 08, 2020 at 11:28
Aboriginals.
June 08, 2020 at 10:58
another dodge. Just answer the questions and pretend I'm too stupid to distill the implied answers in your monologue.
June 08, 2020 at 10:57
Murder is prohibited too. Yet it happens. But then maybe you were trying to say that because it's prohibited, people find it difficult to accept it ex...
June 08, 2020 at 10:36
what you did was go off on a monologue. But let's try again :

"Here's freedom for you homeless, uneducated n*****s. Now be grateful."
June 08, 2020 at 10:23
thank you for your non-reply to all the rather clear questions I posed. Also thanks for the Orwellian turn of redefining my anti-racist stance as raci...
June 08, 2020 at 10:19
I wasn't making an argument and your reply wasn't an argument either. But thanks for your opinion. It's also not a leftist argument but a moral one to...
June 08, 2020 at 09:39
I'm done with this anyways. For all I care, blacks should just go get revenge if white people don't want to listen. Burn this shit down and take it al...
June 08, 2020 at 09:20
I'm sorry Unen! I won't talk about racism against blacks ever again! I now see the error of my ways!
June 08, 2020 at 09:18
You haven't explained why speaking Korean causes you to be suicidal yet. So let's leave it at that, shall we. Nor have you answered why you're so stuc...

Uhuh. So animals don't think. And my baby only magically starts to think when he develops a language. The stupidity of the hypothesis is so clear it's...

What number of white males have been confronted with negative consequences as a result from the colour of their skin or being a man in the past 450 ye...

It levels the playing field because spatial tests don't require familiarity with mathematical rules. Something that has been quite widely communicated...

I dove in some Dutch slavery past. Apparently all the slave owners were compensated 300 guilders per slave. That resulted in 12 million guilders in 18...
June 08, 2020 at 08:50
Also, I'd like to add, if we'd all stopped using black-white distinction immediately. How does that even address past and current injustices? And how ...
June 08, 2020 at 08:43
Again an assumption I don't share. I can hypothesise vending machines have trained monkeys that give you change. Highly predictive of what happens whe...

Uh no, you can't because it's not true. The earliest Western music didn't have metrics (early Greek dances, gregorian chants). After the introduction ...
June 08, 2020 at 08:31
All your cynicism nothwithstanding, deep down you're still an optimist.
June 08, 2020 at 08:23
So Koreans are suicidal because they speak Korean? The Dutch are tolerant for speaking Dutch? Hmmm... I suspect the hypothesis is bullshit.
June 08, 2020 at 08:22
So, African Americans aren't Western?
June 08, 2020 at 08:10
Biden will propose a commission to look into it and then do nothing. Why are you even expecting anything that you went out and look for it?
June 08, 2020 at 08:09
Why is incarceration the only solution to crime you're proposing? And what about minimum sentencing laws? Maggots in prison food? The 13th amendment p...

I think it's naive. Not using "black" would not allow us to describe what it is to be black as a decidedly different proposition from being white. Onc...

Weird. Even chaotic systems, eg. where everyone would be a self sufficient atomised unit in society, patterns emerge. Even if hardcore individualism a...

I'm not making assumptions about individuals in the police force at all, systemic racism isn't about personal agency. It's how society acqueisces, or ...

More self-education: 13th on Netflix.

Maybe you need to educate yourself on what systemic racism entails. If doesn't require overt acts of racism. That blacks are treated differently by po...
