All three are relevant to the post, and all are true.

Whites generally don't have to worry about being pulled over for driving while white. The police generally investigate blacks being killed by blacks. Abortion does not kill babies. None of these are related to BLM.

What does it do?

It terminates the development of a zygote or embryo that has never had sensory input, never breathed air, and never had a thought, never been counted in a census, and never considered to be a citizen, which differentiates it from a human being.

Maybe you should go back and look at the context of my post.

Constitutionally they aren't considered a member of the citizenry until birth. That's a later boundary. A logical early boundary would be at the point of complex brain activity, which is the 5th month. Either of them is well after Roe applies.

Would you personally be ok with abortion up to birth?

Yes. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who is making the choice to get an abortion this far into their pregnancy. They probably wanted to have this baby. They probably already purchased a crib and picked out a name. Something has gone horribly wrong and they can no longer give birth to the child they wanted.

It's not my place to tell a woman in this situation what she can and can't do. It's her life. It's not my life and not my business.

Nice meme...those are racists. The same as anti-racists.

Unfortunately for you I consider the meaning of terms by examining how those who created them define them.

If you like, we can take quotes from Mr Kendi and line them up beside those of Jim Crow era segregationists and white supremacists and consider why they both support racial discrimination.

People who are opposed to the opposition of racism are racists.

Stating that a racist and someone opposed to racism are the same has got to be the most idiotic thing I've read on this entire forum, and we have members here that sincerely believe that unicorns existed but died in the flood.

Opposing an idea isn't the same as endorsing it's opposite. I'm sorry but no...this is your failure in basic logic. It's a false dichotomy.

Kendi's "racist/anti-racist" dialectic is borrowed from Marx's dialectic materialism. It's part of Marx's misunderstanding of Hegelian dialectics which suggests that any idea immediately conjures consideration of its opposite....roughly speaking.

Whether Marx was simply too dumb to understand this correctly or deliberately misusing it doesn't really matter.

The point is that just because I don't support Kendi's version of racist discrimination....and I definitely don't ascribe to his intellectually shallow terminology doesn't make me racist.

I think any who supports racial discrimination is a racist....and like all racists before them, they're dumb enough to believe that they are good people.

This includes today's anti-racists.

Why should I care about one person quitting?

If you don't then perhaps you should consider the fact that the organization doesn't actually help black people in any way despite having both the means and opportunity to do so.
