[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74248873, member: 302807"] Ok. Sometimes? I mean, originally, it seemed to develop as a rational scientific explanation for the relative differences between societies. Right...I find it a bit suspicious when someone tries to redefine a word that already has a working definition. Part of the problem is the progression of postmodernism. Another part of the problem is that fields like sociology have moved progressively further from science in favor of advancing social or cultural or political narratives. Were you aware there's an Association of Black Sociologists ? Not a problem in itself...but look at their "mission statement"... [URL="http://www.associationofblacksociologists.org/about-us/"]About Us - The Association of Black Sociologists[/URL] Objectivity is essential to sociology. Anyone can frame a study or it's results to support a narrative...that doesn't make it true though. The fact that this group not only admits to being biased but does so openly...should say a lot about the state of the field in general. What does this have to do with the definition of racism? Well some of these definitions come from sociology....and it certainly advances their narrative if they can redefine racism in a way that benefits their work. The bottom line is...I can't think of any reason why the definition should change. The original definition works in all situations. [/QUOTE]
