Are you a racist?

Today it’s mostly about politics, word games, and semantics. The liberal-left want to control the dialogue regarding race. As I mentioned a few times already, it is in the best interest of the “racist” to accuse others of racism, blaming others, throwing guilt around, while he or herself enjoys the benefits and rewards of “being a racist”. In terms of the “racial realist”, racism merely means preferring your own kin(d) before others. By definition, preferring your own kind would make you a conservative-rightest in the modern world. Liberal-leftists don’t want segregation, people forming their own socially and culturally exclusive groups, especially built on race. This is why liberal-leftists purposefully injected black children into white schools in the Southern States. Their intentions may or may not have been pure or honest.

The premise of liberal-leftism is Blank Slate Theory, that “all humans are created equal” and “with the right education” then “anybody can become anything”. This sounds good, doesn’t it? It sounds noble. And it sounds like anti-victimization. Nobody has anybody else to blame, except themselves, for failure. However, unfortunately, the average liberal-leftist contradicts his and her own political premise. Liberalism has fallen into the trap of Victimhood, and “who is the biggest victim” of society. Today, in the 2010s, the logic goes that whomever is the biggest victim is also most deserving of social praise, reinforcement, popularity, and political backing. Much of this comes from the hatred of white patriarchy, european identity, and “anti-nazism”. Neo-liberals are “nazi-hunters”, obsessed with fascism, dictatorship, and authoritarianism.

The psychological premise for modern leftism and neo-liberalism is a “daddy-complex” quite simply, a severe lack of childhood discipline, a weak or absent father figure. This neo-liberalism and modern leftism, put together, create this vile and depraved sense of “racism”. If you’re a “racist” then you’re eviiiiiiiiiiil. You’re scum. You’re the rot of society.

This causes severe sociosomatic affects throughout society and culture, because it is inherently a contradiction. How can an individual be “eviiiiiil” for preferring his or her own kind, his or her own children? Are there degrees of “racism”, or is it absolute? The “race realists” claim there are degrees of racism. The average liberal-leftist, the neo-liberal, uses it as an absolute distinction. You are racist, therefore evil, therefore there shall be no dialogue or honesty from the onset. No discussion.

It’s shameful, really, and appeals to the most simple-minded throughout society.

There will be no “cure for racism” or “helping humanity”, like mentioned in the thread, at the very least, until YOU can provide solid definitions and frameworks for what is meant by race and “racism”. Race-realism is a middle-ground. Because racial differences are too obvious to defy common sense. Everybody recognizes black and white skin on the visceral level. The neo-liberal answer is to race-mix and miscegenate until the world is one color. Impractical, and defiant of nature. An artifice, an abstract and unrealistic ideology. Perhaps somewhat feasible in the new world, with severe indoctrination, but not in the old world, where tradition and conservative values reign supreme.

In the old world, Europa, Arabia, China, India, there is no breeding outside your line. If you commit “racial crimes” and aggression, marrying a ‘lower’ race, then you are excluded from the center of society and culture. Marrying ‘up’ in race is somewhat acceptable.

Excuse me…that’s enough “racism” for one day?

Although a bit superficial (there is even more going on underground) and because it was worded correctly, that post is not incorrect.

So, why the question, based on the image of that man? I don’t get it.

Did you post the above on December 8, 1941?
Then, I might kind of understand.

Urwrongx1000"

But would the opportunity be yours or would it be your child waiting in the wings somewhere?
Anyway, I think that 10 are enough.

Who was speaking modern? Generally speaking, a fair-minded, ethical, conscious person will try to remember to only judge the INDIVIDUAL, not a whole group or race of people.

I wouldn’t even hazard a guess here.
Wouldn’t you necessarily have to see that specific individual and his society in order to answer that question?
One size does not fit all.

I love words, I love books, I love poetry, I love music. i have auburn hair and green eyes so I suppose I might be representative of both the Irish and the Italian. :laughing: Aside from the, I am my own kind.
But there are ways in which I am completely different than they are.

There are two sides to that coin. We are both but don’t you think that it is a good thing to teach our children that they are also other than we are? Would I really want to be like my mother?
On Children
Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

I find value in coming from my ancestors, having their blood (in a sense) surging through me, their history being a part of mine, et cetera. At the same time, I am me.

I don’t quite think this way.
Anyway, I am a part of society but I am also my own unique self. I don’t think that I judge myself, who I am, by what society does or does not do, good or bad, as a whole. I judge myself according to my own thoughts and action. I may not have expressed that well.
This is why I can admit to having my own biases. It is too easy a thing for racism to rear its ugly head and for us to be affected by it. We are human and vulnerable and weak and often unconscious of what we do.

A better word might be affirmed. To different degrees, no?

Is that being human? I do personally feel that it is a good thing to be called on something for our own sake but not to have to lose face.

In what ways are you and I not equal? Or is it you and me?lol

Hmmm…I’m not so sure of that. Racism is ignorance, tunnel vision, blind spots, narcissism, arrogance. I can also say that it is not so much on a subconscious level. Sometimes we feed off of it or it feeds off of us.

"

As I’ve said before, I don’t equate the latter with the former. It’s just a personal preference, being in your own comfort zone.

That would depend on what you mean by your own kind. I like people who are different.
Well, with those dangerous ones, I might hide out in a tree somewhere. :laughing:
But you are right. I understand what you are saying. But how could you know for sure that your own ilk were safer than those others?

lol What planet are you living on now and what kind of drinks do they have there?

I agree with you here. Everything is perception.
If someone is a racist though, what part does intelligence play here? It seems to me that that light has greatly dimmed.

Tolerance towards whom? What do you mean by tolerance thresholds? I understand what the words mean separately. :blush:

“Racism” is a new world ideology and modern technology, used to control populations and dictate social orders. The ones crying out “racism!” are usually the pawns and instruments for the core ideology. People are paying into a system. Racism can be used to suppress minority groups when one population threatens another, or also threatens to take control of resources.

Thoughts and feelings can be racist but legality depends on consequences/behavior.

That’s not what I meant but this is certainly true. I wouldn’t use the word developing. They have always been with us, because of religion, race, et cetera.

But do you?

:wink:

Sauwelios uses Nietzsche in his art as you do poetry. Thank you for sharing your lovely answer Arc. :smiley:

I’m not racist, but I’m not blind, either. I’ve seen people of different races beat stereotypes, for better or worse, so everyone gets a fair shot in my assessment. Sometimes, culture plays a big role in personality and trait development/expression. I don’t think there are many people that are immune from brainwashing; or really self aware people. Environment plays a big role in this and the difference can be very great even between generations of the same race.

Your welcome, WendyDarling.
There is so much wisdom in Gibran’s words too.
I think that all parents need to ponder his words, or ought to anyway.

Unfortunately, your quote is wrong. Your children are your children. It reminds me of religion, like how Christians say your father is not your father but God is. These religious compulsions, for a better or perfect world, have vested interests in separating parent from child and child from parent. It’s a form of surrogacy. A third-party intervenes and interferes with a parent and his or her own child.

People like to believe that they are separate from and ‘unique’, different than their roots. But there is no separation. There is continuation. Therefore, your race, your bloodlines, follow you, whether you acknowledge them or not. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Uniqueness is extraordinary. How are you unique, exactly? Isn’t uniqueness what every modern “snowflake” is led to believe about him or herself?

Because everybody has different values.

Equality is ignorance, tunnel vision, blind spots, narcissism, arrogance. Anti-racists, you obviously, deny your race, your heritage, your history. You ignore the sacrifices of your ancestors. You defile their graves and memories. Your race is your foundation, that you have betrayed and overturn, or perhaps pretend it doesn’t exist. It’s like denying the ground you walk on.

It’s not a matter of certainty but of higher probability.

An intelligent person perceives and understands tiny differences between people that others do not. Hence an intelligent person can distinguish races apart, ethnic groups, and even particular bloodlines and lineages. Just as a common person ought to be able to tell dog breeds apart, and whether a dog is a mutt or pure-bred. A less intelligent sees the world and humanity as “we are all one”, unable to spot differences. And then there are those who spot the differences, but lie about it, because they are afraid of backlash of being called “Racist!” You don’t want to get in trouble.

You see the real, true, discrete differences between everybody, but you’re afraid to speak about them, call them out, and expose them. Because you would face retaliation for doing so.

Imagine if dogs and their differently bred lineages could speak.

Wouldn’t the mixed-mutt speak positively about “mixing”, about “we are all one”, and speak negatively against pure-breeds? Wouldn’t the mixed-mutt call himself “progressive” and “the future”?

But which dogs are taken to the competitions and award shows? It’s the pure-breeds that prance around, face scrutiny, judgment, and win awards based on their health. It’s not the mutts.

Now apply this to humanity.

Raaaaaaaaacissst!!! There’s a racist over here!!

Just kidding…

That doesn’t mean that race doesn’t exist, or that race shouldn’t exist. The exceptions reinforce the rule. To “beat the stereotype” already admits to what you were trying not to admit.

I’m just saying we all believe in race, at least physically.
Where we differ is some people don’t believe it can determine neurology, and some people know it can.

The point to the whole socialist “anti-racist” campaign is to eliminate all differences so that all can be ruled under the same command. The truth concerning races is intentionally ignored and hidden for sake of that goal.

How do exceptions reinforce the rule?

Because in trying to “break stereotypes” people admit to consciously doing things against their nature in order to “prove others wrong”.

That means it’s dishonest and can’t actually prove what they want it to prove because the premise is flawed.

But some people do not do it consciously but are simply a product of their cultural upbringing. I mean, they themselves may not even be aware of existing stereotypes. For example, there is a video on YouTube of a mixed race (black) young man who grew up in Japan and was interviewed by another Japanese guy. And he acted and thought just like a Japanese person. I don’t know about his intellectual abilities, but to me, his personality and mode of thinking, in large part, has been influenced by Japanese culture.

I bet there are many that live nowadays what would indeed save the other child, in the hope of attaining the universal favour of the Other.

The real question is: is it racist to blame the truck driver? Or is it just racist that I assume I can ask this question? Is inferring from the news racist?
whoa, good question.
Yes, it probably is.

I just want mention, that in the Bible their is a strong emphasis on the one earth on which People live. This was acknowledged by astronoms who are on search for life in space. The message in the Bible might be: the difference to human beings must first be encountered within the one earth, before it is acknowledged for life in space. I am not sure if the concept of a race does promote this. Perhaps their is a fundamental difference between humans and proletarian. The socialist have their own concept of race, underlined last by Sloterdijk.

I am not so sure of this but I don’t think that in biblical times there was thought of other galaxies or other worlds - were there?
As I said, I am not so sure so the jury is still out. But that would be interesting to delve into.

I am reading the bible as a text which reveals relevance in all times. I’m not sure about the modification of the literal sense of it is necessary. But it could be obtained through philosophy. As a Proposition with this Interpretation: Before men could reach other conscious People in space, they must solve the Problem of living together on the one earth, which is singular.

Yes, that would be a real test… than saving your own child. :icon-rolleyes:
