You're absolutely right....what I learn from your posts is what to avoid doing just to be a normal human being....
You can now have the last word............
At least you can admit you aren't a normal human being. You've come along way grasshopper.
You are focusing on superficial things and not on what each organization actually does. An organization is racist if they engage in racist actions, not based on their name or what race their members are.
These white power groups are not racist because they are white. They are racist because they are racist. We have still yet to find a white power group that doesn't engage in a lot of racist stuff.
Don't know about accountants, but I know the National Bar Association (the black lawyers' group) was formed because the American Bar Association didn't allow black members. Might could be a few organisations on the list that started the same way.
Well, no. People can obviously do things that are racist.
People can definitely have racist thoughts, but how would anyone know, or why would anyone care, unless those thoughts manifested themselves in some sort of outward way?
I didn't say they couldn't. What I said was that the thought comes before the action. Racism, by definition is a belief.
umm...
You can discuss the philosophy of racism with someone else if they are interested, but all that we can really judge in the real world is what people do. A thought in someone's head never hurt anyone, and we have no way of knowing what people are thinking, so why worry about it?
What actually affects other people is the things that they say and the actions that they take.
The reason why doesn't really matter. Having "black group" because you aren't allowed in the white group is still racist. To truly not be racist, a group of black whatchamacallits that aren't allowed into the National Association of Whatchmacalits would start up the National Whatchmacaits Association and allow anybody. While the "white" and the "black" May exist for different reasons, they both may be excluding others based on race and so by definition are racist
The thought causes the action. Racism will not end by tackling actions, only addressing the doctrine behind it.
Really? But a while back I coulda swore you said that being "racist" was a belief. So anyone who retaliates against "racism" by any action of exclusion actually believes in racism? Frackin BS.
An action doesn't necessarily make the doer a believer. If it did, then making separate men's and women's washrooms would make anyone building them or using them sexist.
There's a difference between discrimination, prejudice, and racism, but obviously you can't see it.
This would sound really deep if you were sitting around your college dorm talking about how you want to change the world.
In reality though, you are just saying this to rationalize labeling all types of people as racist regardless of what they have actually said or done.
You can't judge someone on their thoughts since we have no way of reading anyone's mind.
Umm. . . the NBA allows people to join without regard to race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Always has. As does the NAACP, by the way.
Not at all. What I'm saying is that the groups you mentioned don't celebrate racial qualities at all. You were the one that brought up semantics. White pride means something very different from what you're discussing here. The example is very clear, when Germans get together to celebrate their German culture, they are celebrating German culture. When people get together to celebrate white pride, they do things like those in the OP, and protest what they see as the destruction of their race. The two are very different.
If you want to be revisionist and try to take back white pride from a group of racists, well I'm all for that, but I would say good luck. Most people recognize white pride as a group of racists, and the language used by groups identifying themselves with the white pride movement is both explicitly and implicitly racist.
To me, white pride is very weird. I feel no pride at all for something over which I have no control.
That's probably why I didn't refer to them.
Don't be so silly. Of course I can when they tell me what they believe. I think the only reason you think it's deep is because it's over your head.
