I think this is very worthy of discussion and I'll explain my point of view as much as you like GFM. What I mean when I use the words "white people" and "black people" is what I assume, based on experience, is the socially prevalent racist identification of people. I don't want it to be such a prevalent part of our society and I also don't pretend it's not there. I avoid identifying people by race personally as it is usually very rude and irrelevant. I might talk about Nazi persecution in terms of Jews, Gypsy, Homosexual, Communist and political groups. Those categories were well defined by the Germans. The KKK currently does not mean "pale" people when they say "white people". Plenty of Jews are pale and the KKK is deeply antisemitic. Is it stupid? Very stupid. It's also very real and very dangerous. Pretend stupid and dangerous things don't exist at your peril. Generally speaking when I use the English language I stick to the meaning that is most common and most popular. I'm a real "dictionary guy". As I mentioned earlier Tiger Woods is the most famous "black" golfer to many people while his father has broken his lineage down with Thai being 1/2 of his ancestry, his mothers side, and just 1/16th "black" as Earl was 1/8th "black". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv3TbDlwR8Q gfm7175 wrote:I don't know what you speak of. Which part? gfm7175 wrote:Anybody can identify anything however they wish Very true and well said. Some very powerful and dangerous identifications that have justified slaughtering people totally regardless of their appearance are: "Infidel", "Heathen", and Nazi's called Jews Rats, in Rwanda the Hutu's called the Tutsi "cockroaches". And people have self identified too like the Nazi who thought of themselves not as "white" (doesn't work so well when you hate a lot of pale people) but "Aryan". gfm7175 wrote:Instead of chanting "Black Lives Matter", maybe chant "Rational Arguments Matter"? So implied in that attempt at humor is the belief that there is no such thing as "black" and therefor no such thing as racist oppression of black people. But I know you and IBD won't actually address that, you'll just ask another question without answering any. gfm7175 wrote:You misquoted IBD How exactly? (you can do that by showing how my quoting differed from what IBD actually posted).

You certainly like to obsess about the KKK, an organization that is all but dead. We only hear about them when BLM is bullying them, giving them far more attention than they deserve and inciting violence at their events. BLM. We should be focusing on BLM violence, which I consider to include all the violence that they actively incite. Charlottesville is all BLM. So let's talk about BLM. BLM currently does not mean "dark" people when they say "black people". Plenty of "Asians" are dark and BLM does not consider them to be worthy to be counted among "black people." Is it stupid? Very stupid. It's also very real and very dangerous. Pretend BLM stupidity and danger don't exist at your peril. tgoebbles wrote: Generally speaking when I use the English language I stick to the meaning that is most common and most popular. Au contraire, mon frère, you redefine every word you can according to how radical leftist political leaders instruct you, in their constant dishonest pursuit of controlling the narrative and the disruption of free communication of ideas. Your claim is dismissed utterly. tgoebbles wrote: Some very powerful and dangerous identifications that have justified slaughtering people totally regardless of their appearance are: "Pigs in blankets - Fry like bacon!" tgoebbles wrote: And people have self identified too like the Nazi who thought of themselves not as "white" (doesn't work so well when you hate a lot of pale people) but "Aryan". I never understood that part. They presumed to be from India.

You can't have a problem of racism against the completely undefined. You know that. But I know you won't actually define any of your terms lest you cede ownership of the bogus narrative. .

tmiddles★★★★★ (3979)	IBdaMann wrote:I want to compare your definition...BLM currently does not mean "dark" people when they say "black people".... My use of the term "black people" is based on anyone who calls themselves black and whoever anyone else defines as "black people" because that is a reality for those people. What is your point exactly? I think it's that because racism isn't logical it doesn't exist? But help me out and get to the point please. Of course I know nothing about your children and let's keep it that way. IBdaMann wrote:...mock me for making the observation that it is obviously not real. "not real"! There are probably not any real witches with actual magic yet it's very "real" that there were 20 executions in Salem, 1692–93. IBdaMann wrote: tmiddles wrote: If your kid is called black by others that's real. Very real for your kid. It's completely meaningless. Unjustified yes, meaningless in the sense of being based on nothing sensible, sure, but not imaginary. If it's happening it's real. IBdaMann wrote: tmiddles wrote: You kid would be dealing with being a "black person" to anyone who thought of them as such. When you write "dealing with" ... what might that involve? Well depends on who your child is dealing with. Let's say it's Republican David Duke, a Member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the 81st district in the early 90s. Fortunately as he's a bit famous we have his thoughts in print. Let's say that your child wanted to date Mr. Duke's child, or be treated decently in general. Here's a quote, printed in the The Sun newspaper of Wichita, Kansas "White people don't need a law against rape, but if you fill this room up with your normal black bucks, you would, because niggers are basically primitive animals." As you know Mr. Duke ran for governor and received 671,009 votes, 38.8%. He's a big Trump supporter, was there in Charlottesville, and is still someone your child might deal with one day. But really what you seem to be asking is that I prove that racism is real. I got that right? IBdaMann wrote:You can't have a problem of racism against the completely undefined. You know that. Right. I know that is not correct at all. Again: We didn't ACTUALLY have witches did we? Yet some people got killed because they were CALLED witches. IBdaMann wrote:You raised the issue of ...Sikhs having been attacked, ...What is your point? That Sikhs were identified as being muslim/alqueda/arab/"rag heads" by morons. That it was a very real issue and threat to their welfare. I thought that it was a good example as it's so completely stupid as it's actually due tot he bigot being uninformed about who they actually hate. 2015: Sikh called a terrorist and beaten in Chicago Got it? Identity can be chosen by others for you. I'll say it again: You Racial/ethnic/younameit identity can be and will be chosen for you by other people when they interact with you and in how they think about you. You can't just choose to have that not happen. How many photographers, pitchers, congresswomen, doctors, cashiers, or programmers want to be called a black photographer, black pitcher, black congresswoman, black doctor, black cashier, or black programmer instead? You think people just love that? Like it brightens their day? IBdaMann wrote:...Humans make mistakes out of ignorance. Are you proposing a new way to eliminate this? New way? Not really it's a very tried a true way: Awareness, passion and action. We can improve and have a long history of doing just that. IBdaMann wrote:I do not condone the actions of the Boston Tea Party revolutionaries who dumped the tea overboard. All right well that is consistent with your take on protests now. You must find the "Tea Party" moniker to be upsetting. IBdaMann wrote:Individual people were attacked by groups of people who violently beat and kicked and stomped them, Yet only you know about it. Odd. I'd think the beaten people would have gotten the word out. But I know you're not big on evidence for what you've manufactured. IBdaMann wrote:I used a photo to create a meme. You labeled a photo so as to misrepresent the photo. So you have established your own lack of integrity. IBdaMann wrote:"Pigs in blankets - Fry like bacon!" Yes that was a very rude chant. Yet it was not violence was it? Had the Nazi era been known as a terrible time of name calling that hurt the feelings of Jews it would be a real improvement on history.

It is exactly a meaningless term. tgoebbles wrote: "not real"! There are probably not any real witches with actual magic yet it's very "real" that there were 20 executions in Salem, 1692–93. I used the present tense. The seventeenth century doesn't quite qualify for the present tense. tgoebbles wrote: IBdaMann wrote: tgoebbles wrote: If your kid is called black by others that's real. Very real for your kid. It's completely meaningless. Unjustified yes, That's an interesting choice of words on your part. Why would it be "unjustified." Is it a bad thing. You aren't giving me much with which to work. Oh, and for my children it would be completely meaningless. tgoebbles wrote:Let's say it's Republican David Duke, a Member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the 81st district in the early 90s. Could we use a better example, say Corey Booker, US Senator from New Jersey? Fortunately as he's a bit famous we have his thoughts in print. He thinks "white" children have too much money whereas "black" children don't have enough. Should my son be worried about being labelled a "white" person? He might have to deal with people like that. tgoebbles wrote: But really what you seem to be asking is that I prove that racism is real. I got that right? Not at all. I stipulated that racism exists. It is you who tried to delimit "racism" to bad treatment somehow of "black people" by "white people." I had to correct you that racism is occurs whenever political decisions (or decisions involving resources) are determined by race. You never acknowledged the corrected understanding. tgoebbles wrote: I'll say it again: You Racial/ethnic/younameit identity can be and will be chosen for you by other people when they interact with you and in how they think about you. Nope. You are conflating concepts. Stick with "race." How will anyone determine my "race"? tgoebbles wrote: How many photographers, pitchers, congresswomen, doctors, cashiers, or programmers want to be called a black photographer, black pitcher, black congresswoman, black doctor, black cashier, or black programmer instead? All those who live in South Africa. tgoebbles wrote: New way? Not really it's a very tried a true way: Awareness, passion and action. That's what leads to genocide (see Malema memes above). tgoebbles wrote: We can improve and have a long history of doing just that. With BLM terrorism being recent examples. tgoebbles wrote: All right well that is consistent with your take on protests now. You must find the "Tea Party" moniker to be upsetting. No, I do not since the label is only used to mean taking action, but always in the form of peaceful, rational dialog and voting. There are no Tea Party calls to loot or lynch. tgoebbles wrote: IBdaMann wrote:Individual people were attacked by groups of people who violently beat and kicked and stomped them, Yet only you know about it. Not at all. Only you are completely blind to it apparently. tgoebbles wrote: IBdaMann wrote:I used a photo to create a meme. You labeled a photo so as to misrepresent the photo.

And it was the rapper/actor Ice-T who said this about humanity and not black lives. I saw his interview. I can understand symbols of slavery being offensive, but no one should hope to purge history and rewrite it. If every evidence of slavery were gone, what then? Would people forget? They would.

This from the guy who claims real photos from Charlottesville are staged.

Maybe YOU would even call his fans "very fine people". Why DODGE that one IBD? IBdaMann wrote:Corey Booker, US Senator ...thinks "white" children have too much money.. Just admit first off that you think the only significant racism in the US has those who are considered "white" as the victims. You have also misrepresented Mr. Booker. Here's the quote: "Today, white young people have 16 times the wealth of black young people....my baby bonds legislation, which would virtually close the racial wealth gap." His proposal is that EVERY child, regardless of race, would have a government funded $1000 nest egg at birth. The concept goes back to 1797 and Thomas Paine. One more time: "white" babies would get exactly the same thing that "black" babies got. It would be for everyone. But keep searching for that reverse racism, you'll find something. Oh and of course that's not even law, it's just a tweet. Kind of like the quote from a fringe South African politician you seem to think is relevant (why is that btw?) Just something someone said. IBdaMann wrote:...you who tried to delimit "racism" to bad treatment somehow of "black people" by "white people."

Let's do this the right way and have me ask you: What were they thinking during segregation? How did they determine who was to be separated from whom? What definitions did they use? tgoebbles wrote: 1/8th African-American heritage. This is absurd. So race is determined by heritage? How did they measure "1/8th" I hope you aren't going to tell me that it involves "other people" besides the person in question. tgoebbles wrote: He looked "white" and the case was deliberately brought as a test of the law. Legally though he was considered "colored". So there was a legal definition then. Why didn't you just say so? Just tell me what legal definition they used. tgoebbles wrote: How do you suppose they managed to discuss this so plainly in court but you're confused IBD? Did you just ask me how stupid things could be argued in court? I take it that you don't imagine that our highest court would ever listen to arguments about a fruit being a vegetable, and then rule that the fruit is a vegetable. You wouldn't buy it, would you? tgoebbles wrote: You see we are not talking about "Guilty"/"Not Guilty" with a "Hate CRIME" as distinguished from just a "Crime". I answered your question. I consider it unconscionable to pretend to outlaw thoughts. "Hate" crimes are nothing more than the rendering illegal of certain thoughts and then accusing someone of those illegal thoughts. The entire concept should be abolished. Accusations need to be limited to actions. Circumstances are considered during sentencing. The circumstance of what someone was thinking when perpetrating a crime is irrelevant to whether or not the crime was committed and since all thoughts and emotions are legal there can be no additional crime charged for what one was thinking or feeling, ever. tgoebbles wrote: You are concerned primarily with the experience and needs of the perpetrator of a crime and have no regard for the damage done to and the experience of the vicitims. Oh, then you are WRONG! Read the Constitution. It lays out protections for We the People so that We the People cannot be rounded up arbitrarily and capriciously by a tyrannical government and made to rot in jail without a fair trial. You, however, want the government to have the power to imprison We the People for whatever whimisical reason, even for accusations of having thought something that the government has declared politically incorrect. Your idealized utopia is the stuff of nightmares. tgoebbles wrote: And how is that egg on your face feel after you brought up, and totally misrepresented Micah Xavier Johnson as being a BLM protester? No egg on my face. Your desperation to drown in denial is clear. I know you felt obligated to try to fool me on the off chance that you might be successful ... but that didn't happen. By the way, Black Lives Matter is not a new organization that formed when George Zimmerman defended himself. It is merely a new name for an organization that has been around for decades and it is no coincidence that it carries the same symbol as socialism. Yes, Micah Johnson was a member, big time. In fact while he was holed up by the police in a garage he rattled off the then current BLM platform/mantra which was about cops killing "blacks" and that hasn't really changed. ... but nice try. tgoebbles wrote: Into the Night wrote:It depends on the circumstances surrounding the incident.

But here's an example of a Virginia law if you're really interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_Integrity_Act_of_1924 (not repealed until 1967) They refer to "colored blood" and "The Act classified all non-whites, including Native Americans, as "colored."[2]" As I've said already my definition of the categories and labels applied by other people is simply to recognize they have made those determinations.
