Are you pro-racism or anti-racism?


I don't think you can have an absolutist position. A person might be anti-war because they hate the loss of life. Would they have the same mentality when it comes to the Holocaust?

I think most people would say that they are anti-racism. However, the reality is that racism has affected certain races far more than others. Would it not be prudent to take race into consideration to right historical wrongs? I don't believe that society is 100% ready to be color-blind even though that's an admirable goal.

ok, then I'll rephrase the question for clarity:

Well yes. White people are weak and willing to be steamrolled by authority.


Do you think that was a racist comment?

Since we assume that you believe your own comment is true, the question is: Can a statement be true AND racist?

Yes, it's a racist comment. I think it's important to point out society's failings and it's pretty clear that white people are the biggest disappointment.

You're making my point for me. It's not news if blacks are doing the killing because it's expected behavior. Do you want it to be news that the garbageman comes every Thursday to pick up your trash?


There are some people in this country that believe that black lives matter.

You seem to care since you don't have the testicular fortitude to do it in a public setting in front of blacks.

No. That's typically for racial slurs. If you are this upset when your culture is criticized, it's a sign of white fragility. I recommend making a post here suggesting that they add a specific rule to protect fragile white folks from criticism: https://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=258
