Well I think SJW's in the fandom have already done to me what they wanted to do XP. They've done enough for me to no longer care what crap they invent about me but from the way things have been over the past year or two I've concluded that they don't give a shit about me either XP.

On the bright side, with furry being so stupidly trendy and built for kids... The SJW movement is about to die. Gen Z are going to rebel against their retard parents by going full bore conservative... possibly borderline fascist conservative. Like, REAL fascist, not "you didn't call me Zheirard while giving me a soy latte!".

one of those vaust supporters called me a backer of "debunked" white genocide because I gave stats of unsustainable fertility rate of under 2.1 for most of the western hemisphere and china. and they called me a nazi apologist, so I started calling her a pedophile apologist for a similar amount of "proof" They stopped calling me that XD

I hate racism. I think the bigger problem is not specifically racism but the mental deficiency which leads a person to be racist. It's not always about skin color, it's rooted in an us vs them thing and a disregard for people around them, I believe..

The problem is when you teach a racist not to be racist, the just convert it into some other form of bigotry. Perhaps they never like people who eat muffins, or listen to rap, etc.

It's also deeply rooted in religion. People who believe magical sky beings exist can believe all kinds of shit, for example a lot of racists believe africans and other non-white races were placed on earth for the simple purpose of making it easier for lowly humans to identify demons from the regular populace. This is a real belief that some racists have expressed to me. And when those people look at crime statistics they don't see a system rigged to create the results they wanted, they see validation of their fears.

@ smblion

This is also a view held by numerous African tribal religions.

And no such "rigged system" exists. For example, white people are disproportionately shot by police responding to crime reports. This fact is part of the same set of statistics you are disparaging as a form of "racism".

At the same time, we hear from that side of the aisle - perpetually - that black people are oppressed in society, and that black crime can be laid at the feet of that oppression. Yet, pointing out that crime is disproportionately centralized within impoverished black urban neighborhoods is somehow "racism"... which it couldn't be unless it's also racist to assert that black crime is a response to oppression (otherwise a non-oppressed black population would somehow be LESS prone to crime than whites for no particular reason other than race).

The most racist people I've met in the last two decades all consider themselves "progressive" in holding these views.

EDIT: oh, and let's not forget that these urban black neighborhoods are virtually exclusive to the large urban sprawls - Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, and so on - which have been run almost exclusively by Democrats for the better part of a century. If there IS a "systematically racist and oppressive" America, its political color is Blue.

Yes, it's ignorance and in-group preference, occasionally coupled with negative personal experiences coloring perception. It's barely even a mental deficiency in that it is not only common worldwide but is a standard failure mode of humans in general.

"	The problem is when you teach a racist not to be racist, the just convert it into some other form of bigotry. Perhaps they never like people who eat muffins, or listen to rap, etc.

This assumes that racism is an inherent trait unique to a specific sub-population. As I say above, and you explore here, it's not. Foolish bigotry is foolish bigotry, and you don't have to have race as your motivating factor to exhibit the behaviors identifiable to some as "racism." Humans are complex and not really adapted to the modern cosmopolitan world; keep-tribe-safe behaviors will manifest in all kinds of silly ways.

"	It's also deeply rooted in religion. People who believe magical sky beings exist can believe all kinds of shit,

Eh. People who DON'T believe in sky daddies can believe all kinds of shit, too. Really, everyone behaves as though they are religious, even if they don't identify their ritual beliefs and behaviors as such. The things each person believes may have a stronger basis in testable reality than others, but the surrounding behaviors are nearly identical. Point being, beware atheistic arrogance. The human mind is a deep and strange thing.

for example a lot of racists believe africans and other non-white races were placed on earth for the simple purpose of making it easier for lowly humans to identify demons from the regular populace. This is a real belief that some racists have expressed to me. And when those people look at crime statistics they don't see a system rigged to create the results they wanted, they see validation of their fears.

Humans are not rational creatures, we are rationalizing creatures. The ape-brain makes a decision, then sends it up to the human frontal cortex to sign or veto. The human part has no clue why the decision was sent, so it uses whatever information is at hand to craft a rationale. This happens at a pre-conscious level. Racists are fools who experience a negative emotional reaction to a person, and think that their explicit conscious thoughts, primed by their environment and immediate culture, provide a logical reason for the emotion.

Highly religious people therefore will reach for scripture first when doing the rationalizing, and it manifests as you have experienced. Progressive college atheists, in contrast, reach for the lessons and writings of their priesthood (professors) when exhibiting their brand of racism, which they call social justice. Same behaviors, different words.

It's worth reiterating that this is not a behavior unique to any specific group; humans everywhere are susceptible to this and (this is the scary bit IMO) it is probably the standard operating method for the vast majority of the world.

@ alistair

The bigger problem is institutional racism (here in the U.S.). What do I mean by that? By "institutional racism" I am referring to the racially-motivated War on Drugs, the massive disparity in sentencing rates and punishments between white and black/Hispanic people for the SAME CRIMES, the racial discrimination by many banks/financial institutions on loans/mortgages, the over-policing of black neighborhoods, the disproportionate use of violence against blacks/Hispanics from the police compared to whites FOR THE SAME ACTIONS, and the racially-motivated Voter ID laws and other methods of voter suppression. THIS is what people refer to when they mention "white privilege".

"	the racially-motivated Voter ID laws and other methods of voter suppression

I figure I'll leave the rest of your list since I don't feel like getting into a Thing on every point, and some of them might have enough basis to have a real conversation about at the very least.

This one, though, I think is total horseshit. Please explain how requiring ID for voting is racially-motivated, and do so in a way that doesn't treat your Skin Color of Choice as incompetent, mentally-deficient children. Further explain how this would not also affect those with the Skin Color of the Oppressor, thus invalidating your claim.

"	THIS is what people refer to when they mention "white privilege".

You say this like it's not understood.  Some people reject your entire narrative framing, both of the overarching "White Privilege" story and the myriad of underpinning narratives, each of which is spun out of raw information to fit the biases of people who seem incapable of seeing every damn issue as one other than race, like a bunch of actual damn racists.

"Institutional Racism" is what you say when you want a Satan-like bogeyman to use as a lever to control people, one that cannot be falsified and must be taken on faith; naturally any negative event is then laid at the feet of this bogeyman as "evidence" even if other factors could be used to explain the event.  And then, denial of The Satan is treated as admission of guilt, further example of the faith-basis of the entire claim.

Unless you mean that there are Actual Policies, On Paper detailing this discrimination, you are acting like a religious fundamentalist demanding people accept and submit to your gods.  Of course there are bad people in the world who do bad things, but you cannot claim institutionalization without a lot of very hard evidence and no equally-valid, competing alternate hypotheses.

I believe this is a deliberate tactic of unscrupulous people, to provide cover for Marxist-style class conflict as a way of gaining power.  Credulous, well-meaning folk like yourself, wanting to remain Righteous, take up the cause and parade it around like reborn Christians.

- "I'm not calling YOU a racist, it's the INSTITUTION, you see!  Now do what I say!"
- "But can you point it out?"
- "Well, that person there did the Bad Thing!"
- "OK, that person is an asshole, but now you're just calling that single person a racist, and that person is not the institution.  Where is the evidence of institutional racism, and is it distinct enough from any other unethical behavior to allow us to be sure of it?"

The terms "racist" and "bigot" get tossed around far too often and easily these days. It's like trying to play the Hitler or God cards to win an argument simply because you can't be bothered to make a counterpoint (or are too tired to). That said, if you're willing to say something you should also be willing to understand the consequences of doing so.

THEY: "White-majority countries are racist!"

ME: "How about countries with majorities other than white?"

THEY: "They're only racist because they were colonized by whites!"

ME: "Even the ones that were never colonized at all?"

THEY: "Those don't exist."

ME: "I have a globe and a history book that sez otherwise."

THEY: "History was written by white people."

ME: "Even the Chinese stuff from before they knew white people existed?"

THEY: "BLOCKED, UNFOLLOWED, REPORTED"

I hear you there. I'm finding myself saying things I never thought I'd ever say in the Obama Presidency. The use of the term "Femoid", Saying that "White Men are not inherently Evil, but can be a force for good _if given the chance._" Claiming that a Trans Woman getting all those gold medals is "The Height of Patriarchy."

This isn't what I want to be known as, this isn't who I am as a person, I never wanted to go this way.

But here I am, not because I'm being pulled into the rabbit hole by the Alt-Right.

No, I'm falling in that rabbit hole alright, but I was pushed there. By the Far Left.

When people think person A can do something bad, but person B can't - they're calling person B inferior. Inherently inferior.

Virtue is not lacking the capacity for evil - it's possessing the will to do otherwise despite being entirely capable of doing evil.

If people are equal, then they all have the same capacity to do wrong, and the same capacity to choose to do right instead.

If you think women can't lie, can't be sexist, or anyone-but-whites can't be racist or bigoted- you're saying that there is some capacity that is lacking from everyone but white men. If only white men are capable of choosing to do these evils then only white men are capable of choosing to not do these evils. Any virtue in not being these bad things could only be claimed by white men because they're the only ones capable of making that choice. If others aren't capable of doing the bad, then they're not choosing to refrain from it, so there's no possibility to claim virtue even when they're not doing it.

Alternatively, maybe they believe everyone is equally capable of choosing to do bad, but white men are inherently inferior and lacking in equal capability of choosing not to do these things. In which case, these people are still the bigoted ones.

I, personally, consider all that to be horrifyingly vile and I can't understand how so many people fail to realize that is the worldview THEY are pushing when they deny that EVERY HUMAN PERSON is capable of all of these forms of good and bad, so EVERY HUMAN PERSON should be treated with the same exact positive or negative regard, reward, or consequences depending on the value of their choices and actions.

Increasing or decreasing the good or bad credit someone gets for an action depending on which immutable superficial characteristics they happened to have been born into - is what fucking bigotry is.

Everybody gets judged on a single scale, and you don't alter standards, minimums, requirements, expectations, punishments/consequences OR praise, acclaim, reward and credit based on whether or not they were born A or B or C or whatever. THAT'S what removal of bigotry would look like. But they can't process that because they've been shielded from any education in critical thinking or basic logic, and they've been spoon-fed only solutions that are intrinsically bigoted, so they can't see opposition to THEIR bigotry as anything but opposition to the only methods they know of opposing bigotry.

It's such a mindfuck of stupid when the simpler, and more real answer is nothing more complicated than "nobody is born into deserving to be treated better or worse, harder or softer, than anyone else."

Peoples mainly in the US must realize that the peoples who are actively trying to provoke social unrest by blowing very, very hard on the amber of intolerance, and ignorance and get the ball of confrontation rolling are most likely of foreign origin from organization like the FSB (used to be known as the KGB), or the China equivalent, trying by any means possible to weaken the US and its allies position on the world stage, and they are winning!!! I mean, they are the master of disinformation and have even been known to create Facebook accounts that seemed legit for both sides of a fiery argument using them in staging protest march scheduled in the same city, on the same street’s corner at the same time!!! In the past, the legit news organizations were the first line of defense against those kinds of manipulation but these days with peoples (mostly younger people less than 50) having been manipulated into believing that the raw news on the net as being THE better source of true information. They are falling in the trap laid out by those organizations. The result being the growing social unrest that we see in the real news... Appalling!!! Peoples, STOP BEING MANIPULATED THROUGH THE NET! Ask yourself who is behind the news or info that you read on the net and what intention they had into writing what they wrote. Don't believe me? Go see this ---> https://youtu.be/tR_6dibpDfo
BTW, RoareyRaccoon, I love your refection over those bad and fiery subject and the way you present them using that cute Raccoon of yours. :-)
