Kienan's take is better. Claiming that race is a social construct is a common tactic used to attack White solidarity. It's better to say "racism isn't always bad" or that the word is misused than to say "racism isn't real because we can't define race." If we were in a public debate with some leftists and we said what Ahaus just said, then our position would look weak and poorly thought-out because it undermines the credibility of White solidarity or race realism.
Race is real and even (iirc) Harvard determined that typical racial categorizations have a 98%+ accuracy rate among lay usage.
"Racism" is a gay theological shibboleth that forces Whites to submit to the world.
This is all I'm essentially pointing out.
I agree with you, but claiming racism isn't real causes confusion to people unless you clarify that you're referring to a specific and erroneous usage of the term.
Race is very real, the current use of the word is a massively bastardized version that. You’re used to thinking on their standards, it’s the same as listening to rap your entire life, it will cripple you mentally if you keep playing by their jargon. Remember according to them muzzies and Jews are white.
I'm used to being logically consistent. If you say racism cannot be defined or is not real then it makes it look like you're contradicting yourself when you later point out racism against White people. If you want to be able to win over people in any debate outside of this forum then you need to be careful about the rhetorical strategies you use.
That’s not consistent, it’s playing by their book, do you think leftists care about hypocrisy? Do you think they will cower when you call them racist? Or do you think they will do what they did and just redefine “racism” along with “intersectional” power dynamics?
The types of people you're referring to aren't going to care if you say racism isn't real either, so your point is moot. If you think being logically consistent is not important because some people will ignore logic, then you actually are playing by their book.
Racism is either not real or never wrong. The fruit example is precisely perfect. Whether you define racism as "believing in differences from fruits" in which case racism is fake word for a false phenomenon or "believing one fruit is better than another" which is an opinion and not moral.
