Four little things i've always wanted to ask racists

1. Isn't it weird to be proud of your race (ANY race), since it's just one of the many cards mother nature dealt you? I mean, should I be proud of the pimple on my ass?

2. Isn't race-mixing simply another form of evolution that can't be stopped anyway?

3. Isn't love is a little bit more important than preserving racial heritage?

4. Aren't we all on this planet TOGETHER?

    I know racists that don't think that they're a master race or any of that, they just hate out of fear or ignorance

    Hi.

    1) No, it's not weird at all. Your race is who you are; it's in your genes, passed down from your ancestors, generation to generation. Who wouldn't honor such a gift?

    2) Perhaps. But you're going to have to define "evolution."

    3) In a sense, maybe it is. Perhaps we could be considerate of both?

    4) I do believe we are - along with other mammals, fish, plants, bacteria, etc. In other words, I'm not seeing what your point is.

      Well said. Here's my response:

      "Your race is who you are"

      Is it? I always thought of people as individuals, not as groups. Your race is a part of your identity alright, but lots of things are. Should you be proud of every little detail? Besides, it isn't an achievement. I've also met some great people of other races and some vicious ones of my own.

      "define "evolution."

      Simply the development of humanity. I don't really think there are any totally pure races out there anymore anyway, and would it really be so terrible if it got more mixed? Also, we've all originated in Africa.

      "Perhaps we could be considerate of both?"

      Perhaps. But what if you HAVE to choose? Besides, some people are just more attracted to people outside their race. I don't think that's wrong.

      "I'm not seeing what your point is."

      I was talking exclusively about human beings. As a "racial realist", you would like to separate the different races I believe. When I said that we are all here together, I meant that I see no reason for this. It prevents us from learning from each other. Also, the concept of race is hard to define. For example, some people would classify Turks as white, while others wouldn't.

      Looking forward to your response.

        "I always thought of people as individuals, not as groups."
        Humans have both individual traits as well as group traits. Both are relevant and should be taken into account.

        "Should you be proud of every little detail?"
        If you want to then hell, why not? Self-esteem is an important thing.

        "Besides, it isn't an achievement."
        True, but that's beside the point. Racial pride isn't about thinking you're better than anyone else.

        "Simply the development of humanity."
        But what do you mean by "development"? Positive? Negative? Neutral?

        "I don't really think there are any pure races out there anymore anyway, and would it really be so terrible if it got more mixed?"
        Even if you can't get 100% clean, you should still bathe. Do you understand what I'm saying?

        "Also, we've all originated in Africa."
        That's a theory. If it's true, it's actually not necessarily relevant.

        "Besides, some people are just more attracted to people outside their race."
        And that I cannot explain.

        "As a "racial realist", you would like to separate the different races I believe."
        Not forcibly.

        "It prevents us from learning from each other."
        Oh, that's not necessarily true at all. Besides....learn what?

        "Also, the concept of race is hard to define. For example, some people would classify Turks as white, while others wouldn't."
        That's very true, but irrelevant. Just because red and blue can be found in varying shades and can also be combined to make purple, would that suggest that red and blue don't exist?

          "Humans have both individual traits as well as group traits. Both are relevant and should be taken into account."

          Yes, but you could view the group as "humanity" rather than as "race."

          "If you want to then hell, why not? Self-esteem is an important thing."

          Self-esteem is indeed important, but to be proud of every single little detail seems kinda petty to me. Like I said: should I be proud of the pimple on my ass?

          "Racial pride isn't about thinking you're better than anyone else."

          Perhaps it isn't. Then how come it sure DOES have that image though? There is only a tiny amount of supremacists as opposed to separatists, right?

          You haven't addressed this point BTW: I've also met some great people of other races and some vicious ones of my own.

          "But what do you mean by "development"? Positive? Negative? Neutral?"

          I would like humanity to develop in a positive fashion (e.g. less crime), but speaking in race-related terms, neutral.

          "Even if you can't get 100% clean, you should still bathe. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

          I believe I do understand what you're saying, yes. I think you are saying that one is allowing filth in, when race-mixing is allowed. Quite a negative stance if you ask me.

          "That's a theory. If it's true, it's actually not necessarily relevant."

          I think this "theory" is pretty well established. The "theory" of gravity, for instance, is too. Just because something is a "theory" doesn't necessarily mean it has shaky foundations. I think it's true and, moreover, that it's also relevant, because it shows that we do not need to seperate, because there is only one race: the human race.

          "And that I cannot explain."

          Why? Do you think of all those outside of your race as unattractive? That would in itself of course not be racist, it would merely mean you have a certain preference. Still, you should understand if others in your racial group DO think individuals of other races are attractive I think.

          "Not forcibly."

          You then wish to achieve this goal through persuasion I understand. How likely is it that it will ever succeed? Not very I think. Besides, if you would indeed succeed in separating the different races, you would have created several worlds so to speak. The world, however, is ONE globe. It sounds illogical.

          "Oh, that's not necessarily true at all."

          Agreed. I was mistaken in typing that. Sorry.

          Besides....learn what?"

          Are you suggesting different races can't learn ANYTHING from each other?

          "That's very true, but irrelevant. Just because red and blue can be found in varying shades and can also be combined to make purple, would that suggest that red and blue don't exist?"

          Good comparison. Still, I don't see all the fuss about wanting to keep race pure. You say it's for the preserving of your identity, but does that mean mixed people have no identity?

            VERY different things.

            Is acne genetic? Is it unique? Does it offer any benefits? Is it attractive?

            "There is only a tiny amount of supremacists as opposed to separatists, right?"
            Apparently, yeah. I think it's fair to say that at least 99% of "White Supremacists" are not that at all but, in fact, White Separatists.

            "You haven't addressed this point BTW: I've also met some great people of other races and some vicious ones of my own."
            I'm not sure if there's anything to address. Again, people have individual traits as well as group traits, and there are exceptions just as there are rules. I never once said that all members of (insert race here) are bad, or good for that matter.

            "I believe I do understand what you're saying, yes. I think you are saying that one is allowing filth in, when race-mixing is allowed. Quite a negative stance if you ask me."
            Not necessarily; you missed my point. Read it again and think about it.

            "I think it's true and, moreover, that it's also relevant, because it shows that we do not need to seperate, because there is only one race: the human race."
            Nothing but an assumption on your part.

            "Are you suggesting different races can't learn ANYTHING from each other?"
            WHICH races, exactly?

            "You say it's for the preserving of your identity, but does that mean mixed people have no identity?"
            Not too sure what to make of this. Perhaps they do have an identity; regardless, it's not consistent with mine.

        I totally get what you are attempting to do but I don't think any of these arguments are going to work.

        First off you sound like a hippie and they are going to think so too.

        Second I could point out issues with the points you brought up and I don't agree with racism either.

        Third many racists are racism is based on ignorance and generally these type of people do not want to change. So speaking with them logical debate or not is not going to change this persons mind.

        A lot of people are not going to take that "Isnt life beautiful. Lets have hugs friends" type of argument you seem to be putting up. So as much as you want to spread your peace, love and hugs a lot of people are not going to take that seriously especially not hardcore racists.

        There is so many rationalizations for racism and if you have a reasonable debate or not it does not mean you will change that person.

      Racism is usually defined as views, practices and actions reflecting the belief that humanity is divided into distinct biological groups called races and that members of a certain race share certain attributes which make that group as a whole less desirable, more desirable, inferior or superior.

    It depends how important the pimple on your ass actually is. To be honest, I dont think racism is genetically hardwired at birth so this question is stupid.

    No. Dumb

    I think when it comes to racism nowadays it is less about eugenics and more so about the way different races behave in society. Hate to say it but stereotypes exist for a reason.

    Race mixing is not a form of evolution and in actually fact is inhibiting evolution. Your sentences sound really weird when you start with isn't. The first one for example reads 'is not it weird', I mean that doesn't even make any fuckin sense.

      Race mixing isn't evolution? "Evolution" is the change in inherited characteristics over generations. If two organisms breed, and their offspring is fertile, bam, that's evolution. It doesn't matter whether or not the outcome is "good" (emphasis on the quotes), it only matters whether or not the offspring can pass on their genes.

        Quoting wikipedia I see, the corner stone of any solid debate. Look while it is correct to say that evolution is the change of genetics and charateristics of a population over time you are not looking at the bigger process of evolution. Isolation, survival of the fittest, genetic differentiation. If we say that all humans originally come from a single group and then over time different groups have been isolated then this is where various races have come from however we have not been seperated long enough (due to technology and travel) for survival of the fittest to occur enough for the genetics of the various groups to become so different that they would be considered different species. This means that in todays world all humans mix with all humans and the same genes will get inherited resulting in humans not evolving.

          You degrade me for quoting wikipedia and then immediately tell me I'm correct? Yes, clearly I'M the one without debating skills. So...you're saying that a world where different groups of formerly isolated populations are now intermingling leads to the same genes being inherited, and that precludes evolution, and that somehow the solution to not just sharing the same genes back and forth is to only mate with others of our same former isolated population groups? Do you know how survival of the fittest even works? Do you really think that a population of 6 BILLION is in danger of not evolving because people with different skin colors are screwing?

            It is a well agreed upon fact that for speciation to occur then there has to be geographical isolation. All humans on the planet are now connected and as such there is no isolation hence speciation cannot occur which means evolution cannot occur. Your last question is rendered moot because an entire population cannot evolve at the same time because of the interbreeding within the species which leads to the same genes being passed on. Course I know how survival of the fittest works but again that point is rendered moot because of how our civilisation has become, usually within a population the most desirable genes would be passed on which usually would be related to the survival of the organism, however in western society at least everyone now has a fair right to live whatever kind of disability they are born with. Look at all the children that are born now that are half blind, in the wild they would be killed first and that shitty gene would not be passed on, but in society now we can give the child glasses or laser eye surgery, they will grow up and have children and pass on the same shitty genes. No isolation, no survival of the fittest, no evolution.

            Just to clarify, I'm not a racist. I'm just pointing out that if all the humans on the planet had have stayed in their own groups for millions of years then eventually they would have become seperate species, that is just the way it works.

Any intelligent person of any race mixing with another individual of different race who is also intelligent has a high rate of having an intelligent off spring.

    If you have red and blue and you don't want them to mix, you miss out on the color purple!

    Also, dogs have different breeds, kinda like different races. When you mix the races together and get a mutt, the mutt is usually more stable and healthier than the pure blooded dog. Isn't it the same with humans and their races?

    sorry for the off topic-ish comment
    but i think in the future, none of this will matter anyway. i was thinking to myself a few months, and i think we'll all be brown eventually.
    i was thinking back to high school anatomy and physiology and all the things with melanin and genes and all that mumbo jumbo. i think i remember darker things (hair, skin, etc) being dominant, with the absence of pigment actually being a mutation controlled by genes. it definitely wont happen in my lifetime, me being 20, but i think in a few hundred to a thousand years well be there.

    Everyone's secretly a bit racist (whether they want to or not) so I'll answer.

    1. A bit.

    2. No, it prevents evolution. Race mixing is gene flow.

    3. Yes.

    4. Yes.

    1) There is much, MUCH more to race than skin color. I assume y'all know this?

    2) Infertility means little if anything. Different dog breeds are inter-fertile, yet no one denies that they're still very different in terms of intelligence and temperament.

    3) How do race deniers explain the huge disparities between things like cultural achievements, IQ scores and crime rates?

    4) Even IF it's true that all races are equal in terms of intelligence, wouldn't you agree that racialism is still a perfectly reasonable concept just based on aesthetics alone?

    5) The fact that there may be a small minority of individual members of any given race who are more intelligent than average does not negate racialist theory, as EXCEPTIONS DO NOT NEGATE RULES.

    I really don't get the point of this post. Anyone who isn't racist knows racism is bad. Anyone who is racist became racist due to what their own personal experiences told them or because they're just an ignorant person. No one is arguing against you.

      That's too simplistic.
