This is why no one cares about white tears.

White people care about white tears, and there are a lot of white people.

The problem with DaShi is he cries foul over everything and demands people get banned over nothing so nobody takes his rants seriously anymoar, even if he feels he is just and right.

[giblets]

Has AAHZ ever been banned?

So you think categorizing BLM with the KKK is fine, but categorizing christians with pedophiles is not?

Your opinion... He never said that BLM and the KKK are the same... He said repeatedly that he doesn't support the KKK... but it is simply your opinion that you see it as him "categorizing" the two and see racism.
Again, you are welcome to "see" racism everywhere... but it doesn't make it so.

[ZEE]

Has AAHZ ever been banned?

Many times by many owners.

Nowadays I only get banned if I get extremely drunk and the "Old AAHZ" comes out.

Other than that I am very content to be the Apolyton Jester, and am at peace with myself.

Funny how you can't answer the question.

[Ming]

What question????

I disagree with your opinion that he "categorizing" the two. So your question isn't really a question but simply more opinions.

[DaShi]

What definition of categorize are you using? Because it clearly ain't the one that is commonly used. Certainly not the dictionary definition.

The same as everybody else uses... He didn't claim they were the same or in the same category... If you think he did, then it's simply your opinion.

[rah]

I just did. I can't help it if you willingly refuse to see the truth that is right in front of you.

You've been quoting ming and I. Where was the GT quote?

If it was

BLM Matter gets the right to protest or celebrate whenever they way, the KKK has similar rights, as rah said as terrible as it is."

That isn't racists.

So I'm still waiting for a racist quote from GT to discuss.

[Ben Kenobi]

Covert racism is often unintentional because it is so deeply ingrained in white thought. However, that does not absolve them of guilt, because the information and education about is freely available. The fact is, you are likely far more racist than you even realize. The best way to resolve this is to get educated and think about what you say and do in regards to other races. Also, when someone calls you a racist because you accidentally said or did something racist, don't cry foul about it. It's much worse to be subjected to any type of racism than to be called a racist, and no one wants to hear your whining about it.

Question, do you believe that it's possible for, say, a black person to be racist against a Hispanic person? Or an Asian person to be racist against a black person?

[SlowwHand]

Doesn't read like it.

This isn't about difference of opinion. This is about the difference between overt and covert racism. Covert racism is often unintentional because it is so deeply ingrained in white thought. However, that does not absolve them of guilt, because the information and education about is freely available. The fact is, you are likely far more racist than you even realize. The best way to resolve this is to get educated and think about what you say and do in regards to other races.

This is sadly very true, and if anyone here thinks it is not there's a simple way to test that..

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/Study?tid=-1

It's a test from Harvard designed to show you whether you have conscious or subconcious biases against people of different races. I did it a few years ago, and despite thinking I was completely anti-discrimination it showed I had subconscious biases (probably not helped by growing up in an English ex-mining town where I think we had less black people than I have fingers on my hands). It's worth doing, because it doesn't just ask you questions and then hit you with some conclusion at the end, the way its structured you can actually feel yourself doing it, which is quite disturbing and very humbling. The only requirement is that you click on the answers as quickly as you can, and be honest. I'd be interested to see people's results.
