I dunno, Brown v Board of Education, the Civil Rights Act, etc. have helped society be less racist I think the final word it in their sentence is referencing racial discrimination. So it would read as You cannot end racial discrimination by mandating racial discrimination. At least that would make more sense in the context of this topic. <cite>NeoShadowhen posted [p:958373753] in An interes...

Dathrowed1 09/24/21 2:47:11 PM #63:	NeoShadowhen posted... Yes, but Im this context racial discrimination is anything that leads to an inequitable outcome in regards to race. So it isnt about just challenging racists, its about tipping the scales to provide an advantage to those groups who have faced historical discrimination, inevitably at the expense of members of groups who have not faced historical discrimination, regardless of if those people are racists or anti-racists. I hope Im making sense. Its been a while since I read it. You got it right.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure it's humanly impossible to be actively taking a stand against literally every negative thing in the world at the same time. Given that what's being defined as "neutral" here would be better described as "not participating in, would probably call it out if personally encountering it, just not going out of their way to challenge it in wider society", what exactly determines when it's okay to be neutral and when one must be actively anti- something, beyond what's the current hot-button issue at any given time? --- This guy are Trumble. <cite>Trumble posted [p:958384718] in An interes...

brotrrwinner 09/24/21 9:31:56 PM #97:	Skype posted... Apparently, these guys were intruding into a multi-cultural space in order to get a reaction out of people like the camera person. Is the camera person reactionary? Sure, they're college kids. But these dudes are actual losers who wanted to invade a harmless space where minorities could interact. "Police matters" is not a culture and these guys got the reaction they fished for. I'm sorry, doesn't "multi-cultural" include white people? Or are you in favor of segregating spaces according to race? As far as I can tell, they were just trying to study until someone started harassing them --- September 21st, 2008 Never forget <cite>brotrrwinner posted [p:958387136] in An interes...

At this point I don't think that alone would persuade them. You would have to find a conspiracy behind all the other conspiracies to inhibit these programmed racist behaviors. Like...if someone could hack Alex Jones and create the ultimate conspiracy to dissolve all other conspiracies. The key is that while an enemy is needed for this to work you can shrink the group of perceived enemies to an incredibly small, possibly fictional set of people living on the moon Phobos or something. --- https://imgtc.com/Y8ojZ3x <cite>sevihaimerej posted [p:958387749] in An interes...
