I bet we can agree that racism is hurtful and wrong (Moved from American Politics)

[PeachyKeane]

Do you agree that racism is hurtful and wrong?

 

[Rion]

I voted yes, but I am assuming that you are using the actual definition of racism, and not the SJW version.

Could you present both of them and explain which one isn't hurtful and justifiable?

 

[ananda]

Do you agree that racism is hurtful and wrong?

Yes and no.

I can't wait to see the semantics and "what do you mean by racism" mental gymnastics by some of the whites here.

 

[archer75]

It would help me if the OP defined racism for the purposes of the thread.

Simply so we know what we're talking about.

If SJWs would stop redefining words in an Orwellian manner, then whites and non-whites wouldn't have to ask what they mean.

I'm using the first one. Where did you get the second one? Where can I find it?

Many left-wing media sources or far-left academics. Huffington Post uses it, for example.

Yes I can.

I'd say it's a fair question.

 

[Jude1:3Contendforthefaith]

Agreed OP.

Here are some appropriate verses :


After these things I looked, and behold, A Great Multitude which no one could number, OF ALL NATIONS, TRIBES, PEOPLES, AND TONGUES , standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
• Revelation 7:9



And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out Of EVERY Tribe And Tongue And People And Nation
• Revelation 5:9

 

[Chesterton]

I always thought a racist was someone like Dale Earnhardt or Lance Armstrong, y'know, a person who likes racing.

Asking for clarification is by no means "mental gymnastics". Some people use the actual definition of racism, others use the "SJW" definition of racism, and by that definition, anyone who asks for clarification on what racism is, is racist.

How come it's kosher to attack whites here? I feel I need to know if anyone has used phrases like "by some of the [] here" with any other race, and how well that went for them.

 

[Floof]

Of course.
The Lord created all people, we are all His children.

Who uses the 'SJW' definition?

Where have whites been attacked here?

Some of that is fair. Although gentrification is more of a rich person's game.

 

[PeachyKeane]

Yes I can.

In a readable format of some sort? A link perhaps?
