"Racism" is a negitive reaction to behavior, not skin color

People are not “racist” simply because they dislike the color or pigment of another’s skin. It’s more complex than that. What they disagree with is certain types of negative behavior…i.e. violence, theft, drug use, etc… The negative reaction whites have towards other whites who exhibit these types of negative behaviors is the same reaction they exhibit towards Blacks and Latinos; however, somehow whites are considered “racist” for condemning the large scale negative behavior that exists within many Black and Latino communities. Want “racism” to end….end the large scale anti-societal behavior within minority communities. It’s not the color of their skin, but their actions that lead people to dislike and or hate them.

 

That would be "culturalism".... put up a related link or your thread will be deleted for not meeting minimum requirements...

 

Well said.

It's irrational to fault people for looking suspiciously at blacks as a group in Chicago (table 12b) when they commit 75.4% of the murders in that city, despite only comprising 33% of the population. Another group who comprises 33% of the population, whites, commit only 2.9% of the murders in that city. Yet, if you were to acknowledge this statistical fact, and conclude that blacks are behaving more poorly than whites in that city, you would be called a racist.

 

Racism is the irrational fear or dislike or judgement of a person based on their race. Judging a person on their actions is not racism, butr judging someone for the actions of another member of their race is,

 

That's irrational. If I'm in Chicago and I know that, statistically, blacks commit over 75% of the murders in that city, you better believe I would look at a black person more suspiciously than a non-black person. Wouldn't you?

 

That's the point...some may read this post and say it is against blacks...but the point of it is to show that whites are not the mass racists some like to make us out to be....we simply strongly disagree with murder...and there is nothing wrong with that even if the ones who are commiting the crimes happen to have a darker skin tone

 

Go troll some where else while the adults have a chat kid

 

Sounds like good , sensible common sense .
But would anybody accuse you of being Racist for that ?
For me it is just sound judgement , not too distant from the principle of checking traffic very carefully before crossing the road . That is , being rational .


I find it odd that the OP is accused of Trolling in a Section for, " Political Opinions and Beliefs " . Perhaps GM had forgotten to check that out .?

 

This is totally untrue. I hate white people only because the color of their skin. I hate how it has a pinkish hue and how the sun just glares off of it on bright days.

Other than that I have no problem with white people.

 

And you would be a racist, too.

A lot of racists practice the sort of logic you're using. I don't think it's very good logic. But didn't we have that argument about a month ago?

 

Higher crime rates among blacks is because blacks tends to be the ones who are poorer. Poor people get more into crime. If a white person lived in a ghetto, he would have the same odds of ending up a criminal as a black person. It has nothing to do with a person's skin color, but they station in life.

 

I would.

 

This thread ain't goin nowhere. Where are the all the funny racists at?

 

Yes , the light reflection is sometimes very off putting and many believe we have the ability to use these Halos unfairly as we go about God's business . I accept it seems to give us that air of natural superiority but we try to stay humble .

 

Why?
Do you suffer from this reality challenge sporadically , or all the time ?

 

What "logic" would that be? Stating facts and using statistical evidence to back that up?

Yes, I'm sure to a leftist, that kind of "logic" would seem a bit controversial.

 

Please show me some kind of evidence to support the bolded claim. There are many areas in this country that contain poor white people, and I have not seen one that comes close to the level of criminality that black and Hispanic ghettos produce.

 

Oh......I should have added, and had the same chance of getting a job, and the same chances of not finishing school, and all of that as well......A poor white person is still a white person, and employers tends to love white people, no matter where they are from.

 

Another emotional and baseless claim. And I will note that you failed to produce the evidence that I requested, and instead chose to move the goal posts. How typical.

 

You didn't use statistical evidence, you just stated some dubious statistics. But I'm sure to a right-winger, that difference is meaningless.

But we've argued over all of this before.

There's no law against being a racist. It doesn't exactly make you a bad person. My grandfather was kind of racist. Great guy anyway. Some of my best friends are a bit racist.

Nevertheless, if you believe that black people are inherently more violent than white people, then a racist is what you are. You may be convinced that your position is perfectly logical, scientifically-based and intellectually honest. But your position is racist.

You aren't arguing against racism. You're arguing that racism is based in logic. Totally different argument.

 

"Dubious statistics?" They come from the Chicago police department. Who would know more about the criminals in that city than them? Besides, isn't the Government always a blameless source in the eyes of liberals?

I never said they were "inherently more violent". You are creating straw men because you are unable to apply reason and facts in this argument. All libs have is their self-righteous insistence that they are right, regardless of the facts. I think black culture is the root cause of their crime epidemic.

 

What is black culture?

Is it anything like Viking culture, I wonder.

 

It's not large scale.
