Absolutely.
Actually, AA does help people. The 12 step program is very Catholic in its basis. You admit your fault, repent from it, and move forward, trying not to do it again.
Why? Which term in this thread confuses you?
Racism means different things to different people. I posted a link that demonstrates that racism is only possible are part of the powerful majority. This differs from the dictionary definition.
So, which definition are we talking about?
BTW, is there anyone here who thinks we are supposed to be "Color-Blind?" I know most Blacks must not feel that way, or else one of their favorite terms, "Black Pride", would be foolish.
He knew. But Anglicans are not conservative Evangelicals. Not "real" Christians. Mind you, not all Evangelicals are that way, even in the Bible Belt, and I soon got another job. But that episode is what gives me concerns about the Christian Right, who would have the whole country run that way.Did you explain to him that Anglican is a denomination of Christianity?
Thanks to @Rion
racism (rāˈsĭzˌəm)
►
- n.
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.- n.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Using this definition, I agree that racism is hurtful and wrong.
Here's something I want you to think about then. @Rion and @Ana the Ist, maybe as well. This is a bit of a post from earlier in the thread.
Falsely accusing someone of racism, because the person if of another race, is racist behavior in my opinion. Playing the race card, with no evidence to back up a claim, is racist behavior, IMO.
There's some context to it which informed my view, which is that someone claimed that they were being fired because their supervisor is racist.
What are your thoughts? Do you agree? Does it fit our definition of racism? I think it doesn't.
Are we talking about racist attitudes or illegal racist activities (job discrimination for instance?)
Let's say attitude.
Attributing attitudes to someone because of their race is racist behavior.
Yes, but remember context.
What are you on about? Drop the shoe and make your point!
Is it "racist" when a white president uses the same list of "territoist" countries that the previous black president had already compiled to effect travel restrictions on those countries?
You would have a point. Except Christians were violent and harmed millions of people.So you should say the same for Christians.
Like that one.
In any case, Islam is not a race, it's a religion adhered to by people of many races, including the white race.
