R_Jackal 07/04/20 5:58:34 PM #55:	As someone who practices "I don't give a fuck about what race you are, it's all respect based" most use it as an excuse to be a dick and awful person--so it's pretty racist on the average. People like to use it to ignore other races problems and put it all in the person ignoring stereotyping and societal fears and other shit that causes actual problems as a "lol it happened in the past move on" kinda deal. Not the proper way to do it at all. So, much like everything else, depends on how and who is doing it. Most of the time it's all thinly veiled racism. <cite>R_Jackal posted [p:941675844] in Is being &...

MajesticFerret 07/04/20 9:04:44 PM #64:	It depends. When it comes to empathizing, you shouldn't be color blind. When it comes to interacting with people, I would argue anything else other than being color blind makes you racist. The way I see it, if a POC wants to voice their grievances, you should listen, but if you walk around assuming these grievances define the person, you will likely overcalibrate, and wind up indirectly condescending to them and treating them like a charity case...which while good intentioned, is racist. --- Sanity is a one trick pony, all you get with it is rational thought, but with crazy the sky's the limit. <cite>MajesticFerret posted [p:941682622] in Is being &...

Voxwik 07/04/20 9:05:21 PM #65:	Voter suppression is 100% real, and we live it in Wisconsin. It's not race based though, it's political in nature. First of all gerrymandering IS voter suppression. It is absolutely atrocious that people winning 45% of the vote can control a supermajority of legislative power. Then, when the Republicans lost the attorney general position and the governorship, they immediately legislated away power from those positions. Then, in the middle of a pandemic, they forced an election for a state supreme court position knowing full well that a mere 5 of 180 polling stations would be open in our most populous city, which is obviously not a Republican stronghold. They specifically pushed the election through to steal that supreme court election, to solidify their ending of political freedom in Wisconsin. The most satisfying thing? They tried to steal it and still lost the seat. But voter suppression is very real, especially through the demolition of checks and balances. Wisconsin's government represents a minority of its population. That is disgusting. --- Loving freedom and opposing hateful malice means speaking out against cancel culture.

Kaliesto 07/04/20 11:25:45 PM #67:	This is one of those questions that really doesn't have one straight answer; it depends on well your country has handled race in general, and the social norms. The sad truth every country has a checkered past which some have moved past and others have not, and some countries still have ongoing ethnic violence. Other problems - I would say North America needs to be more honest in History Classes rather than shying away from the ugliness of history; today's generations would probably be very different on how they approach these subjects than how they do now. I doubt we would be seeing protests as well. The only side-effect that it could produce Race Judgers, and Extremists if True History is handled very improperly, but that could theoretically only make a few people become that way. I think of the racial crimes today is more of a leftover from the 20th century that is still ongoing. --- Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme dat DramaFAQs-misterbum <cite>Kaliesto posted [p:941687511] in Is being &...

I see a lot of people assume the history classes here are sugar-coated propaganda, but where is that true? It certainly wasn't true here. Given this was back when I was in school; things may have changed since then. I know the most recent being Christopher Columbus; they gave him a more neutral light back in my school days, but they never really gave the full scope of what he truly was that people talk about now.
