Why was Bob Marley never accused of being an evil racist?

    Right!. See? You can learn stuff too. But, you seem surprised. Linguistics 101

    No. Why do you want to know?

    It's not a secret. I have said it on this forum several times. But why is that relevant to you?

    I am thrilled by your convoluted explanation. You ruled out racism. Bet you won't pick up your own argument that shows your own fatal error. Read what you said a few more times.

    Once again, we're confusing national sovereignty with ethno-nationalism. Bob Marley did not believe that African countries should remain colonies of other nations, but to say he believed in restricting people who were not of African descent is completely inaccurate.

    That's their plan.

    He clearly said that for him the definition of a word is "common use". So if you shift common use, you can shift the meaning of words. That's what they're working on, through their control of the mass media. This way they can slowly redefine words into anything they want them to be.

    Thus Newspeak will be born.

    I don't need to read it. I have written it and explained it in this and other forums dozens of times.

    I see you have no arguments to counter it. That is expected, because, even among those who try to rebut it, it's usually the final outcome. So you not even trying is probably the wisest move. Saves time. And I'm glad you're thrilled by it, because it means you have learned something today.

    You're welcome....

    What you told me is there is no such thing as race. Ergo no such thing as racism. Thanks for the lesson younger man.

    Right!

    Wrong! Racism is the belief that humans can be separated into arbitrary classes that racists call "races"

    Thank you for the "younger man" attribution, older man.
