That's funny I don't recall anyone advocating denigrating anyone solely on the basis of them being white. Go back and look at the '16 election. You boys cornered the market on black denigration
That's funny I don't recall anyone advocating denigrating anyone solely on the basis of them being white. Go back and look at the '16 election. You boys cornered the market on black denigrationNo I didn’t. You asked if those were equivalent as a way to justify one of them, I said two wrongs don’t make a right. I didn’t read that as you talk badly about white people but rather you were ok with people who did. I wouldn’t presume that you do unless I saw it myself. Yes my honest opinion though is that "talking bad about white people" is racist, it simply is. And the fact white people can be racist too doesn’t justify it.
Except you consider the picture of the incoming Democratic class as white oppression. I consider it great because their makeup reflects the whole of America not some entitled monochromatic sub-class.Lots of Republicans do, but again that doesn’t justify doing it yourself. Two wrongs don’t make a right. It is never ok to judge people based on the color of their skin. Ever.
I just wrote something to another person that reflected racism here in the US.Republicans would never base a decision on skin color. As long as all the seats of power filled are white.

I've said time and time again seats of power need to be held by Americans other then white males. You attempt to paint that as anti-white and/or focusing on skin color. Keep the power structure as all white ignoring the need for diversity is a form of white supremacy.No i don’t? I mean that’s a complete lie, show me where I’ve said that or anything of the sort. Otherwise you’ve just shown how dishonest you are to everyone.
So the answer is to cancel the event and not let the women who want to attend to do some good have their chance? It seems like such a misguided reason and frankly racist as well. I get what they’re saying but at the end of the day they are making these decisions based on skin color. There is no place for that in our society. Skin color should never factor into anything. As a result the women who want to participate no longer get their voice. Lovely.
Pretty much spot on reflects UC's positionThis argument never gets any less ridiculous.
U: ‘Skin color shouldn’t factor into anything in our society.’
Everyone else: ‘but it does and that’s just reality.’
U: ‘well you should pretend it doesn’t. Any steps taken to acknowledge or mitigate racism makes you the real racist’

Yeah, because "talking badly about white people" is equivalent to what the whites have done and are continuing to do against all people of color.
Eh, why not do it your way. Let's just keep the seats of power in the United Stated all white males.That makes it ok to boil them down to their skin color? Talk bad about them because of their skin color? Do things that negatively effect them because of their skin color?
This is one of the stances posted on here earlier trying to justify something wrong because other people do more wrong stuff
Yes I think and always will hold the position that no one should be judged by he color of their skin. It’s become far too common place and things like this have basically become acceptable, that’s not ok:
That’s a completely false statement. You may disagree with my position but that doesn’t mean I’m discussing it with you to merely troll you for responses. Im offering up my opinions on political topics because that is what this board is for is it not. I’d think we can engage in the actual discussions without trying to lie and say I’m trolling you.
My way is for the seat of power to be whomever is voted into office. I don’t care what color/sex they are.
And you can maintain your happiness with the Republicans being the all white Party. Congrats.My way is for the seat of power to be whomever is voted into office. I don’t care what color/sex they are.

Again, more lies/false statements on your part. I’d love for the Rep party to be more diverse and I’m sure they’d love that as well.
"Whites simply cannot be victims of racism in this country. Promoting racism and racist behavior requires power, which the whites have always had. Then and now.
For you to claim whites are victims of racism, would say that the minorities and people of color, have power over the whites and that simply is not the case.
Whites can never be victims of racism in the US. "
Ooops you got me. Its not 100% white. If Republicans really wanted diversity what happened to Steve King today would have been the norm not the first time in history. Republicans have long made a comfortable home for racists to flourish in their party at the same time claiming they want diversity. Trump is the epitome of that. Why would people like me join a party that time and time again shows open hostility towards people like me.Again, more lies/false statements on your part. I’d love for the Rep party to be more diverse and I’m sure they’d love that as well.

Just because whites are a majority in the nation, does not mean a white person going into Birmingham, ordering a meal and being told to !@#$ off isn't possible. It most certainly is, likely does happen, and would absolutely be racism.
I am going to say no to your example. Now could your restaurant example be discrimination? Yeah, sure. That very well may happen or has happened.This notion that it is a one way street? That is a flat out lie.
The totality of a population in an entire society says little of the regional, local, or interpersonal and individual interactions between two people.

If one is consumed with balancing the scales, they would need to commit a great many acts of evil upon their fellow human beings. In no way in hell does that give you permission to dismiss each of those many steps along the way as "getting even" or "not enough". Such crimes should be universally forbidden against ALL people, of all races and colors. That is how equality is borne. Of equal treatment.
@esquared
Don't you go down that road of telling us "but they deserved it" for being X. Enough hatred has risen on the issue of race. Do not dismiss or divert from it when it occurs. Confront it, all of it. Do not give rise to any lest you find yourself contributing towards it.
