"Actually, no."

lol its just amazing to me how you are the most racist person i've interacted with for a while but you're either too ignorant or dishonest to see your bullshit for what it is

 

'Words take on different meaning depending on who says them."

so race determines what words mean? and this isn't racism?

how can you ever hope to end racism when every single argument you make is predicated on division along race? are you serious?

what really matters to anyone actually thinking critically is INTENT

 

"In England, chips means the same thing as fries to an American yet chips to them mean crisps to the English"

a stupid argument, again i'll repeat white people in this thread have used the n word, are they automatically racists who think black people are inferior or some shit like that as a result? what is your answer?

 

"again, context is crucial."

the context that matters is whether the user is hostile towards black people or not because otherwise just about everyone is a racist since, for example, many people recite the n word to rap lyrics for example

 

but one thing i must say is that its truly ironic and amusing to me that you, fighting for social justice or some shit like that are trying to justify racism to a black man while claiming ( even though you don't know a single thing about me ) that i'm not black because i don't behave like black people are supposed to

I agree with you on this,my whole life has been affected by people being racist so it should be clear im against it but here they seem to attach a skincolour to racism or hold different meanings for racism depending on skincolour and sadly that is the thing they should be fighting against cause thinking like that IS racism.

Its almost like people want to pull others towards the side of extremism and it is overlooked because left racism is more accepted ?

of course its racism and what should be obvious is that you cannot end racism by perpetuating racism

what people like that do not understand is that all these double standards result in is the weakening of the group they claim to be trying to protect ( by infantilising them ) and they encourage the group they are discriminating against to be more contemptuous of the protected group for some people

i'm seeing many white people stating that the increasing discrimination they are experiencing is making them feel like they need to be less open to other races and more protective of their own... that's not the case with all obviously but it is happening

i think the goal going forwards should be that we don't think its ok to discriminate against minorities but in addition to that we don't discriminate against majorities simply because they as a group are perceived as being more powerful

if we want to end discrimination then it has to be uniform across a community, but beyond that it depends on what type of discrimination you are referring to, should we look at poor people and try to give them more aid than rich people? well yes obviously and that is a form of discrimination, so some discrimination is warranted obviously

but when you say that someone simply stating a word is a racist regardless of their intent, that's just fucking stupid, you should obviously try to ascertain whether the person had a hostile intent before hand instead of just jumping to the conclusion based on only a word
