Can you answer the question of how the collective of blacks can be racist and how exactly is it exacted?

_________________

It seems like you are trying to change it to institutional racism now. Institutional racism would obviously mostly benefit the majority. It's not all encompassing of all racism though.

I was taught racism is that the belief that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. It's judging and/or somehow harming somebody based on skin color. I think 4 black people beating up a white guys yelling "fuck white people" qualifies as racism. I think that you want to define it or refuse to define it in a way that does not recognize a hurtful act toward somebody based on race is absurd.

You really believe that most white people have the power to be the man? I sure as shit don't.


Well that's swell, I guess.

Not exactly. I have no problems calling blacks out on our bullshit too. I don't absolve blacks when they are on bullshit. I was raised with too many that fit the description. In a number of instances we've created excuses where they don't exist. Conversely some grievances are legit.

_________________

Oh yes it is and I noticed that you didn't answer the question.

When you refuse to say this instance was a racist hate filled action, to somebody like me, you are absolving those 4 teens, are not calling them out, and creating an excuse.

If 4 white people kidnapped and beat up a black kid that is...what?

Why do you not want to answer my question about so desperately wishing to define racism in a way that precludes black people from being racist, only wanting to talk about macro-scale racism?

Why does he have to use the words you want him to use? He's explicitly said the actions of the 4 were wrong and hateful but because he doesn't use words that would make you feel warm inside you accuse him of absolving the 4 teens and other crap. That's complete bullshit. I'm sure you would be pissed if I or another black person here called you racist because you didn't feel exactly the way we did or use the exact words we are using about an incident.

Institutional racism is not the only type of racism.

Defining the term "racism" to only include macro-level race-based discrimination seems needlessly arbitrary to me. The only goal I can see is that such a definition conveniently precludes one race from the dreaded "racist" moniker, and instantly anoints said race the winner of the Oppression Olympics. What else could be the goal, here?

I already stated that this was a racially motivated event a few pages up and I also stated that they should be punished severely so I don't know what you are talking about.

The reason that you won't answer it is because you can't. It is easy to cherry pick instances of discrimination and attach it to racism. For black people in this country racism encompasses much more than that however.

Beacause it's appropriate and equitable. To me, what he is essentially saying is black people are superior and can't be racist. I think that's bullshit. Next time one of these stories pops up but it's the opposite it wouldn't be well received if anybody denied racism and just said no it was wrong and hateful but there is no racial problems in this country.

Tyler Perry is one of the richest men in showbusiness.

Now:

Why [CLAP] do [CLAP] you [CLAP] want [CLAP] to [CLAP] define [CLAP] racism [CLAP] so [CLAP] narrowly?

Also, are you an otherkin or is being a pedant your only shtick?

He's not saying that and your thoughts are complete bullshit. Nothing that LTG has posted has in anyway said their actions were okay. His definition of racism doesn't change that. JORR has a similar definition of racism and I haven't seen you attack him yet. Get the fuck out of here with bullshit accusations like this. I'm confident that you rightly wouldn't appreciate being called a racist or a racist sympathizer.

So a person that commits a racially motivated violent attack could not be considered racist?

I don't know about severely. Hate to write off this many young people. It more seemed to be looking for attention rather than a desire to really hurt the guy. I hate that the right wing will latch onto this story as some shining example of black racism and really stir up the shit kickers. Nothing good to come of this at all, but I do not doubt that there will be more instances of live broadcasting crimes for a thrill in the near future.

JORR is wrong too and if he were here I'd be arguing with him. I wouldn't appreciate being called a racist or a racist sympathizer mostly because I'm not.

I believe anybody could be a racist. It's not reserved for white people or white Americans.

Wait, if racism is only macro-level, how can a single person be racist?

All in all, they didn't really hurt him physically, but that's bad stuff.

Jesus H Christ... are we really going round and round with semantic arguments here? No one here has absolved these 4 idiots. No one is giving them a pass. The constant need in this country to label things is fucking exhausting.

It should be severe. They were cowards that kidnapped a disabled kid and beat and tortured him because he was white. There shouldn't be any slaps on the wrist. I consider it to be a racist attack but the targeting of one of our weakest members of society makes it much worse.

I agree with you. The accusations you are making are unnecessary and complete bullshit because LTG defines a word diferrently. There will be times others may view something as racist and you may just view it ignorant or hateful. That doesn't mean you're any of the things that you're accusing LTG of just because you don't agree.
