dharh said: Everything about racism is subjective, vs how people should base their ideas and opinions which is objective fact. Some love to try and fake science to feed their already present subjective bias, but its still subjective and therefore not anything based on real evidence. Anyone at all who subscribes to the idea that it is self evident that all men (sic) are created (sic) equal cannot then subscribe to racism and not be a hypocrite. That's it. You are either living in reality, thus not a racist, or you've immersed yourself in your own fantasy world and thus your opinions are pretty much worthless. |
"All men are created equal" is part of "All men are created equaled and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights". It is a reference to God, and has God giving them certain rights they can't give away or be alienated from. This is a presumtive faith statement. If you look at reality, you end up seeing people are NOT equai in how they are born, and don't do the same thing at all. Now one could then reason that there is insufficient attributes of superiority to cluster around a given race and say it is superior, and be right. But to say what you said is not grounded in reality but also personal biases. Of course, another thing here is that, even if people aren't born/created equal, that is no indication why they shouldn't have equal right at all.
I can argue here that it is really difficult for a non-theist to argue the all men are created equal comment, because they don't believe there is a creator.
Anyhow, I can end up referencing the golden rule as a way out of this, that ends up speaking to things. One can argue about doing unto others as they would have others do unto themselves. In light of this, who here wants to be treated badly or inferior to anyone. If not, then don't do it to others. The golden rule is an ethical version of the "I think, therefore I am" quote on cognition.
