The whole racism is prejudice plus power is idiotic. I imagine that idea came from some clown at university. Racism has a definition. I’m so tired of twisting words. And also they make it to where only white peoples can be held accountable for anything
This. It only exists because people want to be overtly racist, but don't want to get called racist.
Thats the magic trick, it doesnt.
It is an article of faith in the religion of modernity, and questioning it gets you targeted as a heretic.
That’s true. It’s just frustrating how they twist words that have had a clear meaning for centuries and everyone just has to go along with it
Racism does have a definition. Same as "woman". The trick is in making people accept that it doesn't.
You can try to apply one, but the term has never been used consistently. Definitions are a reaction to usage, not the other way around. "Woman" was in fact used consistently for 1000s of years in different languages. "Racism" didn't even exist for most of that time.
How about "Irrational hatred of entire races of people other than one's own"?
Too many people see hatred itself as irrational. It isn't.
Irrational is highly subjective. For example I don't want to live in a black neighborhood because black neighborhoods have a lower quality of life.
Or I don't really look at resumes that have black names or black colleges listed because as a person in a technical field I haven't found a black person who is remotely qualified to do the work I need done.
To me that is perfectly rational. But that fits most modern definitions of "racist".
Sure. Those prejudices are perfectly rational. It's another sign of the times that the word "prejudice" has a negative connotation. There are perfectly logical reasons for all sorts of aversion, from distaste to outright hate.
This condition is directly the result of the left taking control of the language via our educational institutions and publishing industry.
I think we agree that most modern definitions of "racism" are nonsense, especially the "power + prejudice" bullshit.
Well the really funny part is the person who said that didn't even mean that it was the only kind of racism. they were just adding a definition that I partially agree with, given that we've seen racist power structures throughout history.
I believe said person has come out and said that other forms exist and are extremely valid.
Not to give the leftoid so much credit, but I find it funny that even said leftoid is dismayed at how retarded their kin are.
Good points. I just really hate their mentality that they can engage in deplorable behavior but it’s ok when they do it
