for those who wish to ban, remove, abolish, criminalize all forms of prejudice, why is racism seemingly the highest priority?

for the most part its not a choice you make.

sexism being another highly important issue, and for the most part not a choice you made.

cuz its mean dude

Because authorities don't like race riots.

Probably because the most damage done collectively has been because of race, in America anyway.

Misread topic title, ignore me.

Because it is the biggest issue right now, ask any minority in any country if they have encountered racism, its almost a 100% yes.

It is an over-hyped issue, the problems of racism are really the anti-white racists, i.e., egalitarian leftists crusading against "whiteness," rofl they are sad little fucks.

I don't give a fuck if people want to hate each other, let's be honest here.

Hating people over skin color is just stupidity.

Read Martin Luther King's letter from Birmingham jail and you'll read seven or eight strong arguments against it.

My favorite is that it is a violation of the ends-means principle, but other strong arguments is the I-Thou/I-It argument, as well as the Sin is Separation argument.

But the worse pogroms have been over race. In the United States we have an especially wicked past in matters concerning race, literally have tiers of citizenship based off of it, at first declaring that blacks were non-persons, then 3/5ths of a person, then they were freed but not allowed to participate politically and were a lower tier of citizen than white Americans, etc etc.

But America has a long history of WASP privilege in a very diverse nation.

It is unacceptable because more or less the rooster is crowing and the racists are losing their fight for franchised and institutionalized racial superiority.

The totality of all history is the story of conflict.....sides win.
