I would add the money thing. cnThis depends on what neighborhood you are looking at.
On the topic of privilege: In this culture today I don't believe privilege is a racial thing but a gender thing.

Right, but race goes beyond color. I can say race exists by color alone but I think human nature wants to classify and compare things. This is how we know our world. It isn't a bad thing, IMO, it's natural.Oh. That went somewhere I did not expect. Obviously, race exists as a concept ... but it looks like the convo went to not just differences, but questions of better/worse. cn
I agree that it is natural ... and that is why i disagree on the other. It is a bad thing, because the same (or an inextricably entwined) instinct that has us comparing and classifying has us ranking and then making pass/fail, in/out decisions on that ranking. Often civilized decent behavior depends on our controlling our natural behaviors, and acknowledging and denying our inherent mistrust/dislike of the Other. Jmo. cnRight, but race goes beyond color.

We have to sharply distinguish the same in human dignity from the same in characteristics. cnDifference is what makes people unique and great. It's the diversity nuts that say we are all the same that I can't stand.
The computer screen doesn't count as outside.Yes, I have been to Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Spain, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, Belize, Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Uruguay and Canada in the last 10 years.
Both the Chinese and German limitations are expressions of numerus clausus, limited access to a limited resource. The Germans use proven academic performance as the criterion; the Chinese use age the same way we use it for awarding retirement benefits. They're neither one tied to race, creed, color etc. cnjust like time their is no such thing as race . . . . now suggesting that observing skin tone is acknowledgement of race is a faccade
we are all the same, even have the same dna for the most part running through all our viens
maybe i should ask a question instead like
china has a rule that you have to be over 59 to work for the gov
also germany has sa ystem in schools set up that if you do not meet educational requirements early on your have nto earned a spot in higher education
whats the difference in these forms of control and which is prejudiced and why? and how does this match up to the current , forms of racism and classification being discussed in this thread
This is what I don't understand CN. Why does duality have to play a part in this. To the mind that is asleep racism or bigotry take on a life of their own and are no longer just a state of mind. When people understand that this bigotry is nothing but a bad idea that can easily be changed then the mind can change. We marry the human to the idea and all it does is solidify the idea and make it real.I agree that it is natural ... and that is why i disagree on the other.

Because (in my opinion) so very few of us take the time or the courage to check our most basic assumptions/beliefs against a standard of reason. I consider that to be the duty of an adult human. cnThis is what I don't understand CN. Why does duality have to play a part in this.

This is why I have a hard time understanding these terms, bigot/race. They are only concepts that turn into religion and pollute any constuctive thought. Fuck, I'm guilty of getting carried away but i reel myself back in.
Does that make any sense?
"Improve" is a term of moral judgment, and it presupposes that those characteristics are objective. Improve your own? Fine. Impose improvement on others? Raises my agenda hackles. cnYes but to simply ignore characteristics and not try to improve them seems illogical doesn't it?
You're just madbro because everyone knows you're a skinhead.The computer screen doesn't count as outside.
LOL!
do you not see how you're the one repeating the assertions on the "propaganda fliers"?
if you can point me to where there are black people on this site being racist towards white people, i will be happy to make sport of that, just as i am making sport of you.
but 100% of racism i've seen on this site goes the other way, so you'll just have to endure me being "anti-white" a little more.
you poor little thing you.
Yes why not improve your own if you want to would research be racist? Or how about putting out research to improve others if they wish to do so. I believe we try to do things like this with our plants as well correct?"Improve" is a term of moral judgment, and it presupposes that those characteristics are objective. Improve your own? Fine.

Eugenics was blatantly racist "research". cnYes why not improve your own if you want to would research be racist? Or how about putting out research to improve others if they wish to do so. I believe we try to do things like this with our plants as well correct?
38,000 + post on pot web site, is all your parents got for that high priced education @ ASU. Now there is something for a Mom and Dad to be proud of. Right U.B? Now I got to get my Brisket off the smoker, and chow. Some how you will turn that into me being a racist, I am sure. later ass clowns!
Right, and this leads to an identity crisis and that's a real bitch. When a person is invested in their ideas and they cling to them like a life raft it is hard to get that person to even consider seeing things differently.Because (in my opinion) so very few of us take the time or the courage to check our most basic assumptions/beliefs against a standard of reason.
