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

Yes. I know the Census Bureau made up these arbitrary "races" for... whatever purpose.

But there is only the Human Race. Within the Human Race, there are Ethnic Groups, there are Cultrual Groups, there are Religious Groups, etc.

Racists think of these as "races" when they decide that their own culture, ethnic group or... whatever... is superior to the others.

So, bottom line: Even though Racists and racism exist, there is really no such thing as "Race" in humans. Not in biology, not in anthropology, not in Sociology.... Only in the mind of racists.

Government agencies use the word just as a "Title" to the section of a questionnaire. And racists use them to fool themselves into thinking that they are superior.

 

Tell that to your doctor. He'll very quickly set things straight about there being a lot of very racist diseases out there.

 

Sheesh, science deniers!

 

Ignorance is the opiate of those who were uninformed and then later learn they've made fools of themselves spouting illogical terms. "Racist" is the new LWNJ term for anyone not in agreement with their particular slant. There are 4 racist cards in every 52 card deck with optional joker cards that can be played "as if" racist. It's the deck they play with when they always have a losing hand.

 

Funny how this is so ingrained in the mind of ignorant people that, even though they know they can't provide any rational arguments, they are happy to make fools of themselves by not even looking it up.

Show the biological definition of human race in human beings and be done with it. One that would justify the existence of "races"

Easy enough....

 

The right is color blind. We detest any talk of race or racism. Just treat everyone equally and as individuals, not as part of an ethnic group.

The left's obsession with race is eerily similar to the talk heard in South Africa in the 20th century.

 

So what's your point? Are you saying that we shouldn't denounce racism? That there is no such thing as racism? That you hadn't seen your handle in a post to the forum for too long?... What is your point?

The left's "obsession" with racism (there is no such thing as race) is utter disgust! Is your point that we should not be disgusted? Just accept it?

What is it?

 

Changing what you call something doesn't change what the something is.

 

Well well well. Two guys anxiously posting in a matter of seconds just a few moments ago... seem to be tied up with google trying to answer the question.

I'm going to bed. So take your time boys. Read you tomorrow.

 

"A population which differs significantly from other populations in regard to the frequency of one or more of the genes it possesses. It is an arbitrary matter which, and how many, gene loci we choose to consider as a significant 'constellation'".

Google my ass. I've been calling out nut jobs for playing the race card when there were none in the deck (immigration) from day one. You need to brush up on your anthropology.

 

No such thing as race? Now you know why I laughed my ass off when someone called you a science denier.

 

Dogs are canines, but some people make a distinction between pit bulls and miniature schnauzers. Cats are felines, but for some reason, my wife's stupid fat cat looks suspiciously different from a tiger.


So what is the biological definition of cats in felines? One that would justify the existence of different breeds of cats...

hmmm....

 

Jeezus christmas...........and these are the people who call us flat earthers and science deniers about unproven anthropogenic warming. Same bunch.

 

Not sure if he should take a course in Anthropology or should be required remedial Zoology first?

 

Race is an invention.

Most enthusiastically used by racist dicks who are too stupid to know what they are as they supposedly call out nutjobs.

 

^ Needs basic Earth Science prerequisite before Zoology and then Anthropology.

 

Nomenclature for something that isn't what it is is pure ignorance.

 

No surprise to me:

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll done in collaboration with the University of Virginia Center for Politics has found that while respondents by and large reject white supremacists and neo-Nazis, many share the same racial beliefs to which these vilified groups subscribe.

One last parting thought. If the root word race is non-existent, what does that make make the the adjective or noun "racist" in meaning? Fake news in 90% of all applications.

 

Tell us how this applies to illegal South Americans and Syrians.

 

Every human concept we use is an invention.

Racist is just as much an invention as race.

 

My point is we should just treat each other as individuals.

All liberals talk about is race, just like the whites in South Africa circa 1950.

 

Here's another lib obsessed with race.
