Not only have you grouped people together who oppose Trump, which by the way consists of over half the nation at this point, you've attributed fictiti...

It's a lie because, as I've previously mentioned, you've repeatedly demonstrated that you have no difficulty at all in grouping people and blanketly a...

Alright, but you'll need to be honest. Why did you lie about having difficulty grouping people?

Oh no, I'm sorry for disturbing your delicate concentration.

It's possible to troll and value truth, but that would require having principles.

You're no fun.

Will you also concede that you were lying when you claimed that you have difficulty grouping people?

That's funny, in discussions about Trump you have no difficulty grouping people and blanketly attributing them with particular characteristics. In a w...

To make sense of what follows this I think you should probably explain exactly what “noticing color” means in this sentence.

He’s harmless. I think if was Frank who said he’s like a pet. The forum pet troll.

You meant abstract expressionism. I wouldn't kill you to do a little learning on your own. :razz:

It’s not a game to you but you won’t even exert the marginal effort it would take to look this shit up yourself. :chin:

There are examples in housing, loan practices, the judicial system, health and environment. None of them will be very overt, in this day and age. Do y...

Yes.

One of the first steps, in my opinion, would be to look at these 'hasty generalizations' that you mention. Look at what's behind the taxonomies. No.

The essential problem centers around acquiring and maintaining power or advantage. People don't discriminate against those with superficial difference...

I don't think the U.S. is particularly xenophobic. I think the current administration has heavily politized immigration issues to garner support from ...

With the ‘huge’ exception of being fully onboard with the Trump cult.

Would-be spammers?

We are like prisoners chained to a cave wall, mistaking a play of shadows for reality. :cry:

I guess the pair aren't graduating to higher abstractions any time soon.

It seems to me the point is to look at them.

Welcome. Your name looks like wear-a-couple to me, by the way, which you do extraordinarily well. :razz:

Racist!

???

Prior to this, you wrote: "the U.S. is more open-minded and less xenocentric than most other countries." Assuming this claim is true, it's still not e...

It's not kind to deny that racism and race privilege continue to exist.

Without reading it, I don’t think you selected the most relevant portion of the book to respond to, in relation to the topic and the context that it w...

Evidence that we try to influence each others biases supports your argument? Okay.

The point that you apparently missed is that people deliberately attempt to bias (negatively and positively) others. As someone who’s fallen under Tru...

Involuntary doesn't mean imperceptible, and the definition explicitly stated that biases are "not intractably incorrigible." We can influence our nega...

Yeah, I just copied and pasted a line from your post to mine.

I'm talking about putting effort into being aware of our subconscious biases and dealing with them responsibly. Any subconscious biases that black and...

Perhaps you could be a bit more specific. What immigration crap from white liberals? Do you mean things like Daca, for instance?

Nothing surprising. I’m sure that I could easily skew the test results any way that I wanted by priming myself for a particular outcome. The subconsci...

According to the test on race, I have a slight bias against black people. I’m inclined to attribute that to negative depictions in the media that I’ve...

The problem is that we are not rational beings and can't simply choose to be color-blind. It's something that we need to work towards, and that work n...

Sorry, let me rephrase: Police may be more prone to shooting black men and boys, compared to whites of the same, because of the perceived degree of th...

Your problem, as you put it in the previous post anyway, is looking at things only through the lens of race. I think that would be a problem also beca...

There's no 'reason-blind' movement that I'm aware of. Are you trying to start one?

The problem could be looked at in many different ways and many different approaches could be taken to address it. That doesn't negate the fact that ta...

I think you mean to say that the problem is in assuming racism is a factor... I didn't say anything about racism in the situation that I mentioned. I ...

You mean racial prejudice? I didn't say that, no. Police may be more prone to shooting black men and boys, compared to whites of the same, because of ...

Perhaps you could show how this works in a real-life situation. In America, black men and boys are 2.5 times more likely than white men and boys to di...

No one treats everyone the same. We treat each other differently depending on many different conditions and circumstances. This includes mere appearan...

You’re beating up a strawman (180 judges that all white people are racist) to give the appearance of winning the debate? I’ve recently taken an implic...

Not sure that minorities helped him that much in 2016. I recall that only 1% of black women voted for him. Speaking of a reality disconnect, Trump has...

Like a rambling incoherent child.

Yes. Thanks again for mentioning Geguss.

I was a white kid who grew-up a racial minority and I can’t recall the luxury of being color-blind at the time.
