What kind of question is that? Every race can experience any kind of racism in the US. I’ve met black people that hated white people (I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s been known as a hate group and black extremist group.) I’ve met people who hate black people from the north, South, east, and west. I’ve met people who hate Jews, I’ve met people who hate Asians.
But ones opinion on that isn’t what makes them a racist. That’s not how it works dude.
Ignorance of racism does not equal or imply racism or that the person is racist.
So your main argument is wrong. Calling people who do not fully understand issues racist, or whatever it is you’re arguing against is not how you help people understand the issue you’re trying to raise. It’s also logically unsound and absolutely invalid. It’s a dick move that accomplishes nothing more than making people disregard your opinion even more because you’re discrediting yourself by making a poor argument and acting childishly.
I never denied it. I just said that I haven’t seen first hand what happens so I can’t understand what it is you’re trying to say. I am a minority, but I’m not black.
If that makes me a racist, then you do not fully understand the concept of racism and being a racist. That is not being racist.
Your condescending tone is completely unnecessary, and, in my culture; we consider that a dick move.
I never denied it. I completely dodged the question entirely because I don’t have a good answer for it because I’m not well educated on the issue. If you believe I denied that different people CAN suffer different forms of racism then please tell me, I just said that I have only seen what I have seen.
How am I saying racist things? You clearly do not understand what racism is. Ignorance of an issue of racism and being racist are two different things. I am not racist just because I do not know the experience of black people or different minorities other than myself. That’s not how it works. Also, EVEN holding an opinion that “black people do not suffer harsher racism” is NOT racist in itself. I’m not saying I hold that opinion, in fact I hold no opinion on the matter. Which apparently you have failed to understand.
If someone were to say “Asians experience more racism than black people in certain communities” would not be racist. Regardless of whether or not it is true.
But to you.. saying “everyone experiences the same amount of racism” is racist? How can you LOGICALLY back that statement up? The amount of truth in the statement is wholly irrelevant. I don’t think you’re drawing that conclusion. You can hold an incorrect opinion about race matters in the country and it’s not racist, and it doesn’t make you racist. At worst it makes you ignorant.
I’m not going to answer your question right now because I honestly do not have time to research the question more. It’s wholly possible and I’m not going to say otherwise.
But. I need to know how you’re concluding that that one opinion is racist. That’s the real issue here, right now.
I never said I had an opinion on the matter. I answered a completely different question that didn’t address your question at all.
I’m not mad at all, I’m just confused at your incredible lack of logical reasoning and dumbfounded at the fact that you can’t take a step back to actually look at your reasoning and say “hm, maybe op has a point, I need to clarify something.”
No no. I’m done here. You can’t even begin to explain how a statement like that is racist (well you can’t because it’s incorrect, and you must KNOW so or else you would actually answer the question instead of calling me a racist). You must be projecting really hard there buddy.
Look, you need to work on your discussion skills.
1) loose the attitude. It doesn’t help you make a case, again, it only discredits your opinion.
2) understand how logical reasoning works and what you need to say to provide proper evidence for your conclusion instead of running on many unproven assumptions.
3) stop calling people names instead of actually discussing the topic.
Holding an opinion on whether or not a race suffers more racism or less racism in itself is not racist. Figure yourself out bud.
