To reiterate my prior position, we have the natural right to discriminate for any reason at all, without even being compelled to disclose the reason, with exception to government related functions. We naturally discriminate in absolutely every decision no matter what it is, and no law is going to change that. I've been denied jobs and housing because of a label that has been assigned to me, and I have never complained at all. Refusing excellence is your choice.

Downplaying the problem and then blaming the victim isn't very noble.

Last week I met a family that has litterally gone without food, housing and of course luxuries like transportation and have lost three children to death. Guess what skin color? Also an elderly widow that hasn't been able to get a job for over a year and so far isn't getting any help from the government after applying many times. Guess what skin color?

Why don't we set up a meeting between you and them so you can give them your spiel on how they've refused excellence.

Complain about what? I never complain, not even when locked away in prison while the culpable person attends Stanford.

While I'd prefer to live in a time where a few dimwits aren't trying to make racism cool again, that's the idiotic society we live in, and I accept that to the degree I must.

Making victims by calling them victims is even more noble. I've heard it's very useful to tell people their situation is hopeless unless white saviors solve all their problems for them.

...Guess what skin color?...Guess what skin color?

You're interpreting things through a colored/not colored lens, which is... what again?

I see people, not colors. 100% of foolish behavior has "reasons". Reasons aren't an excuse to act a fool.

Sure, PM me and I'll give you my number. If the government is refusing entitled service to someone due to their skin hue, I'll join you in burning it down.

I always do (minus the bong, though I'm not against it). SA has the simultaneous 'not-sip' most days close to 4:20pm, should you ever want to join in simultaneity.

Peace, so long as the other party(s) are peaceful. Else, Ender's Game.

Neither hawk nor pacifist is the correct approach.

My response to your call to peace is, a Tom Petty song.

I knew a guy who survived being in a concentration camp as a Jew. Too bad he's not around anymore. I should have let him know that it was his fault after all.

It's not just white people. Alot of people with dark skin are prejudice against their own race, taught that it's bad to be black. I've been places where someone who's dark skinned will hire me for a job I have little to no qualifications for over someone who's way more qualified. Why? The only difference is I'm white and the people in that area aren't. What else could be the reason?

Hispanic culture still uses terms derived from the cast system the Spaniards had made. According to the cast system Native American and African people are the lowest, and European is the highest. Depending on what mix you are, that is, how light or dark your skin is, puts you up higher or down lower in the cast system. While people from Latin America don't directly use the cast system anymore, it's still entrenched in their culture.

The same can be said of a lot of other cultures. You can't just go through thousands of years of entire continents thinking of certain races being not any better than livestock and then say "rasicm doesn't exist."

Good for you. But so far I haven't seen where any of your philosophies are applicable to everyone. But who knows, maybe if everyone stopped applying for jobs we could somehow show it wasn't racisim after all.

Thanks, but I don't burn governments down.

It's a hall of mirrors.

Your homework is to show anything resembling me saying racism doesn't exist.

My only claim is that a victimhood mentality is cancer, even if you're in a concentration camp being savagely victimized. Anyone supporting the victimhood narrative is working for the concentration camp, even if they are unaware.

Can't, or won't? You're ok abiding in racism by the government?
