My class came up with something like this (with a lot of help from me):
Racism is hostile or demeaning thoughts, words, and/or actions of one person or group of people directed towards another person or group of people with different physical characteristics such as skin color, stemming from the conscious or subconscious belief that the other group's physical characteristics makes them in some way inferior or subordinate to the first group.
I'd say this is pretty good.

SJW version: Anything that offends anyone.

Racism is a religion based on what?
manipulating societal behaviors' !! ) (like all religions are !! )

" The priests, in control of education, made the class division of society into a permanent institution and created a system of values by which the people were thenceforth, to a large extent unconsciously, guided in their social behavior. "


Capitalism is subordinate to capital !! :) )

Now you are lying by ommision.

I don't get it.

I'm not sure what the beef is.

You didn't like the way I categorized something?

I think we are focused on the trivial.

Which is my beef with the anti-racist advocates.

great question !! :) )

motive ?? )

intent ?? )

here is where I pulled that quote from !! ( :

LINKerooo !! )

what do you think ?? )

:shrug:

I love these theological discussions !! )​
Yes, me too.

But I don't get why. you are being evasive. (Actually, I kind of do.)

Lets find some common ground.

Do we both agree that the society would be prudent to try to mitigate the effects that resulted due to racism?

One of my fears is the anti racists played right in the far rights hands.

I answered your questions with the correct answers !! )

I am NOT sorry if you dint like 'em !! :) )




we already have that !! )

race is a subset of Racism according to your equation !! )




now quit evading !! )

your same questions-what do you think ?? )
So going back the the original point you didn't agree that the concept of racism was a subset of the concept of race?

I will try to clarify one last time:

I said this because race is a more general concept.

Racism is more specific aspect of the general concept of race.

I was employing metonymy. But it also works as synecdoche, with race a part of racism.

I'm sorry that you took offense to my taxonomy because it did not match yours.

None was meant.

Now we are just colliding frames.
