Just to clarify: There is no such thing as "Race". There is only "Racism"

You would need to first indicate which "belief" you are referring to, and then you would need to show in what way it's erroneous. Did you think there was some other way in which rational thinking would work?

 

You deny the existence of intraspecies phenotype variance?

 

No. Why would I do that?

And why the quirky language? Just ask if humans display physical differences.

 

Scientifically, I think the physical differences between human beings can be studied and made use of positively (medicine, technology etc.).

Socially speaking however... the differences between cultures are far more important to study. And unfortunately, social variations are often used negatively.

Diversity within a society (and this world) is becoming far more common. It would be better if human beings were striving to live and work in ways where there is mutual benefit one for the other.

 

Yes. Are you really this clueless? Know anything about muscle memory and twitch differences between different races? I can't believe you are still banging your gong of ignorance. There are marked differences, in many areas including being susceptible to certain illnesses or lack of resistance to certain diseases. I never want to see you post in another AGW thread, science has left the building without you.

 

Because the word is phenotype

And there is no human race, just Homo sapien

Golem, are you going to resolve this problem in your claim, or no?

All of these variants are tied to regions, not randomly interspersed over the globe. Why?

 

This is getting tedious. Having to keep reminding you of your position.

The belief that there is no such thing as race. We made up the word to describe a set of characteristics that apply to various groups of people. If you are saying there are no such things as these sets of characteristics you are going to have to demonstrate that.

Than denying reality? Yes i suppose there are other ways of rational thinking.

 

Yes humans are a species not a race. I'm beginning to think this whole thing is a giant virtue signal.

 

Of course it is.

It's the new, "I don't see color" in an age where not seeing color is a white privilege micro aggression.

One thing though, if there's no such thing as race...who can feel the lingering effects of slavery?

 

It may be for golem, but the larger motivation is Newspeak. If a word is consigned to the memory hole un-PC thoughts can't be thought.

If the sciences ban the mention of race, studies showing racial differences can't be written.

 

of course people figured out what they liked and didn't like about each other long before the word "race" appeared.

Groups displaying particular phenotypes, sharing common language, customs and geographic locations.
He can call it any word he likes. Just nomenclature. The groups did not arise in response to a word. The word arose in response to the groups.

 

The sad thing is how much potential is destroyed by ignoring our genetic differences.

BUH BUH BUH BUH BINGO!

 

This thread is an embarrassment to science. The same people who claim man can control global climate say there are no races. You just can't make this crap up.

 

yeah, "I'm so non- racist I don't even believe in race. "

We are all droping dead of astonishment. A virtue signalling self aggrandizing guilty white person is saying something millions of people said before him.

Thats a good question.

 

science thus ends and a new religion begins.

 

Bottom line: People (those of us who are SO DAMNED SIMILAR TO ONE ANOTHER) need to treat one another as being essentially EQUAL.

Any standard of behavior which opposes that, causes severe problems. We already know this.

 

Yeah saying there is no such thing as race biologically is like saying there is no such thing as a mastiff biologically. We can't view mastiff in the DNA of the animal we just made that word up to discribe a different breed of dog.

Its like saying there is no biological difference between a toy Pomeranian and a great Dane. They are all the dog race.

Its profoundly ignorant.

 

I agree. People mark their race, and the data comes out against one race or another. I refuse to give my race.

There is no racism - only miserable people with festering hatreds based on superficial qualities.

 

Absolutely agree. The fact that there are different races doesn't indicate that any are superior or inferior to others.

Yes sir.

 

just clarify if there's a such thing as racism but not race, what is racism based on? How can we have racism without race?

If there is no such thing as race why did we invent a word to discribe it? What would be the purpose?

 

That's like sexism without sex

 

It is all about how we treat one another. And one need not be a genius, to learn/know that mutually respecting and helping one another, is the best foundation for a prosperous co-existence.

It's difficult for mankind to achieve that, but so many positives are derived from aspiring to the same.

 

I don't think anyone in this thread is arguing otherwise, but that's not really the topic.
