Racial no, cultural yes. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the pigment in ones skin has any baring on one's ability to function well in society, culture however can have a dramatic effect but it is a sociological issue not a biological one.

It has to do with incentives and identification which ends with action. If I am in a park full of black people I will be less safe than a park full of white people. This is because my statistical chance of being mugged and killed is higher. This is not theory. This is fact. I live in Africa. If I am not careful I die.

I only freely associate with black people I have verified to be trustworthy. I cannot give everyone the benefit of the doubt because then I would not be able to speak to you today.

Don't trust verify.

None of this has fuck all to do with the belief that a person is inferior because of skin pigment. Nor do the actions of a limited group of people reflect on all men simply because they share a skin color. Culture and skin color are two completely different things. One isn't required to subscribe to a particular culture simply because of their skin color.

I grew up in the deep US south with plenty of meth head white people who would absolutely fucking rob you. Color isn't the issue.

I did not say that. What are you talking about.

Matt 1y ago

You're conflating skin with culture. That's what I'm talking about.

EchDel 1y ago

I spoke not of skin but of identity.

I see, it seems to me as though you are conflating race (a biological condition) with identification (a psychological condition) I think that I can see from your words that you are not actually racist and are prepared to give anyone a fair chance but your use of these words incorrectly creates a disconnect in understanding, perhaps leading you to a racial bias (or "soft racism"), not so much intentional racism but more of a learned protection mechanism, sometimes attributed to a "reverse halo effect".

Do you work for sweet baby inc?

YunusAtSea⚡️🌊 1y ago

I have no idea what that is.

Well, now I do after a web search. I suppose your implication is that I am trying to promote a woke agenda? No, I am not. I am trying to promote a religious agenda of the equality of souls under God.

My note is about racism, not culture.

I said racial differences are real. I said nothing about competence. I spoke of incentives. Incentives drive action, white people are capable of anything evil. I am suggesting that when money is fixed our metric which we use to determine outcomes will give us a more pure system of measuring each other and many problems will either dissapear or manifest as truth. You are gorcing your opinion of what you believe about racism on me which is naive and reactionary.

EchDel 1y ago

You are sowing the same seed of division the statists love to see. Because when we fight over stupid things and refuse to confront reality we lose and they win. We have to be logical and objective with regards to race if we are going to find real and permanent solutions to racial hate. Denying anothers opinion blindly only excaserbates the divide. There is no agree to disagree. There is productive speech, or destructive speech. Jumping on a moral high horse while being arrogant and blind is one of my personal failures.

Matt 1y ago

Like I said from the start, you can fuck off and block me if you disagree. I never intended to fight with you about anything. You're back peddling now and it's pathetic. I made my position clear. Take it or leave it.

You're also gas lighting me. Fuck off.

EchDel 1y ago

I follow those who follow me. It's your choice man.

EchDel 1y ago

You are trying to force me into an enemy or friend camp.

My opinions are my own, my experiences are my own.
