Since racism is caused by power, shouldn't we prevent POC's from gaining power?

[Tiffanytrans]

You dont want to say whiteness is something they're born with do you?
That would mean they're victims because its something beyond their control.

They would be blameless and therefore not able to be hated for what they do.

Unless we CAN hate something that people are born with. You dont want to go there do you?

No. Because racism is caused by white skin. Which means they're born that way, making white people victims.

Yes. As a racist i like the fact that white people will remain in power.

Yes. Because we dont want our beloved POCS to become racist would we?

[Dargil]

Society should encourage POC, where needed to achieve by merit and be law abiding, just as we should encourage Whities.
Example: Vivek Ramaswamy

[RolandCuthbert]

Racism isn't caused by power. Who in the world believes that nonsense?

a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

[Tiffanytrans]

Every SJW believes it. An increasingly common view is that 'racism' can be defined as prejudice plus power. They concede that everyone can be prejudice but since blacks dont have power they can't be racist.
Which means we aught to prevent them from attaining power, else they'll be racist.
See?

[RolandCuthbert]

I thought I was an SJW. That's what everyone at GaG tells me. And all I have seen is folks who use the prejudice/power argument, get their butts kicked in every debate. Because it is nonsense. You can look all over this planet and see prejudice/power and note people are not racist.

Anyone can be racist, they just have to believe in racial supremacy/superiority.

And we have had that discussion a million times here at GaG.

But even if you were right. Why would you prevent non-"Whites" from obtaining power? If racism is good, then it is good for everyone.

[Tiffanytrans]

Because if power causes racism then non whites would become racist if we allowed them to obtain power. Nobody claims racism is good.

[RolandCuthbert]

Of course they do. Many people think racism is healthy and good. And that people need to accept that some groups are just religious extremists, criminals, thieves, murders and drug dealers. . . and other groups are peaceful, nice, loving, patriotic, etc.

This isn't their subjective bias speaking. They are just posting objective fact.

Just look around GaG.

Where have you been?

[Tiffanytrans]

Wrong. Every single person on the planet. Including you. But not me. Thinks racism is good.

[RolandCuthbert]

So first no one thinks racism is good. . then everyone thinks racism is good.

You might want to figure out what you think before you step to me.

[Tiffanytrans]

You might want to not strawman me. I said everyone EXCEPT me.

[Tiffanytrans]

You might want to provide evidence for you claim that " Many people think racism is healthy and good." Before you step to me.
by the way. There is a difference bettwen someone who is a racist and does not deny it VS them saying "Racism is good"
Learn the difference.

[Tiffanytrans]

Acknowledging differences isn't "racist". Needing to accept some groups are just extremist and others are not is not "racist."
Where have you been?

[Tiffanytrans]

I guess there's plenty of people who actually think that the term "Racist" has a positive connotation.
My eyes rolled out of my head so far i have a headache.
there's a difference between someone who actually thinks treating someone differently based upon the color of their skin and the term "racist."

Read a book.

[Tiffanytrans]

This is not me "figuring out what i think."
You might want to be able to understand OBVIOUS sarcasm before you step to anyone.

[Guy13]

Power is an Effect and Racism is a secondary Effect. The physical event which mandating those Effects is the Cause.

[Tiffanytrans]

What physical event are you talking about if its not always power?

[Tiffanytrans]

An increasingly common view is that 'racism' can be defined as prejudice plus power. They concede that everyone can be prejudice but since blacks don't have power they can't be racist.
Which means we aught to prevent them from attaining power, else they'll be racist.
See?

[AngryCarl2]

What's the worst thing that could happen with POCs in power?

British Prime Minister Richie Sunak

[AngryCarl2]

Still better than Liz Truss.

[abc3643]

Racism isn't caused by power.
It's caused by instincts and ignorance.

[gorydetails]

Makes sense to me. If white people have a ‘privilege’ that gives them an advantage in America, what is the compelling reason to give that up?

[OddBeMe]

Um why are you fcks so obsessed with white guilt and shit?
