No that’s not what I’m saying. The n-word has been used to demean African Americans for hundreds of years by mainly White people. Now the word has been reclaimed by the community. Going a word that has been so derogatory, demeaning, demoralizing, into something of solidarity. Now is every member of my community going to use it in a non-demeaning way? No. However, it’s something that is now intended to stay within the community. There are definitely no supposed to be any outliers using that word.

But that’s not how that has happened historically or today! I agree that violence in a community is bad however you don’t get to disrespect and disregard another. White people made the word to dehumanize us for years and when that didn’t work as effectively they moved on to something else. Legislation, housing, education, etc. We reclaimed the word in solidarity and it’s for someone to use it outside the community holds a totally different weight than us saying it.

Racism does not have any of those qualifiers. It is the word for racial prejudice; however, due to the word having cultural significance control over that words use became important. Thus an effort began to narrow the definition of the word so that, whole keeping its importance, its would only be usable by those who were changing the word. You don’t see the same qualifiers attached with other words of less significance but similar meanings. Sexism, ableism, classism, etc.

Thats also where the “reverse racism” term comes from. It’s why there is no “reverse sexism” “reverse ableism” “reverse classism”. Because those terms weren’t needed to excuse a gap in language created by an attempt at changing the meaning of a word.

Anonymous pirosnake 9w

No, that’s called prejudice or discrimination. Racism, as the other commenter stated, does indeed require systemic support. For example: white supremacy in the United States had a plethora of laws codified for the explicit intention of the subjugation of non-white individuals and reinforcing that cultural norm of white supremacy. That is racism. some random person saying they don’t like white people, while living within the United States, is discrimination and prejudice.

12

Anonymous pirosnake 9w

solely because you’re, seemingly, a white supremacist who insists on the existence of “anti-white racism”, that does not mean that such racism exists within the United States. if there was a nation that systemically targeted white people ad the United States targeted not-white people, then within that country prejudice towards white people could be considered racism; but not in the vast majority of countries.

If you want another example you can look at how the word “sanitary” is used. If someone sneezes into their hands and then they don’t wash them, you and I would say that is not sanitary, but in some fields like global health it is considered sanitary. The reason for this is that the definition of “sanitary” is narrowed to only when something is free of fecal matter. Aside from that you cover it in whatever bile and bacteria you like and it will still be classified as “sanitary”.

Racism as defined in crt and modern sociology is not universal, and is not the original meaning: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/01/05/260006815/the-ugly-fascinating-history-of-the-word-racism

Wrong. As I explained to you before the definition of racism you are using is used in specific fields of sociology. In other fields that definition isn’t used, the common definition is. History, literature, political science all don’t use that definition. Just like how microbiology doesn’t use the definition of sanitary I mentioned.

you can keep regurgitating “wrong” as much as you’d like, you’re not winning against the allegations of anti-intellectualism. political science and history both recognize the sociological definition of racism, you’re fundamentally incorrect in that claim. like I said, the issue ultimately boils down to your refusal to accept academic progress and insistence on parroting white supremacist propaganda.

Ask a political science or history major if China and India are racist towards each other and get back to me. Also you are making the same mistake. You are assuming I am against changing definitions in the context of academic study.

you are absolutely eating him up #38, but i think he either is genuinely isn't intelligent enough to understand he's wrong or won't admit he's wrong due to his own narcissism

Are you at least able to admit that the narrower definition is not the common one?

do individual students *pursuing a major* have any credibility in the consensus of the field they’re actively learning? what you should’ve said is “ask a political science or history professor”, not some dipshit student. truly, you’re not helping your case on the anti-intellectual front.

the only thing I’m assuming is that you’re a white supremacist based off your rhetoric. you’ve repeatedly displayed your disregard for the evolution in the definition of racism, as well as your disapproval of the modern definition of said term.

Anonymous #38 9w

the “original definition” is not the current one, for good reason. it’s a shame that you disagree, but it’s essentially meaningless. there’s a reason why people dedicate their lives to studying these topics, and I can assure you some arrogant 20-something year old that’s actively pursuing a degree does not have a say in the topic. I’m talking about you, in case that went over your head. yes, now I also assumed your age and degree status.

Dude just stop you have serious issues. I’ve seen you hating on other races in other subs but I didn’t know you took it a step further and started coming in here being racist as well.

Would have been a good insult, except I already pushed you to pursue this discussion with your professors and you ignored it.

I’ve already discussed that topic, common use vs definition. all that implies is a shared misconception on the term itself, which heavily aligns with the poor state of the U.S. public education system (specifically focusing on the United States). all you’re highlighting is how common ignorance is in this topic, which is true.

Its still the current common definition. #2 provided you with a source on it and you ignored them.

as I stated, repeatedly, a common use does not override the original definition, it merely indicates the common understanding or usage of a word. definitions can change to adapt to common use, but it is not inherent. most people are unaware of the academic progress in the definition of racism, as they’re woefully uneducated on said topic.

HOLD UP. Did you just claim a commonly held definition of a word is incorrect? Thats not how language works. Words are tools to convey meaning. If people commonly change how a word is used its definition changes with it. Like the world “insanity.” Much like you reposting the same already addressed claim over again and expecting a different result. And I’ll leave things there.

Anonymous #38 9w

so, *once again*, that is a spotlight on a lack of knowledge. the insistence that said ignorance is somehow indicative of a more valid definition is inherently anti-intellectual. your ignorance is your problem, the world does not have to coddle you.

there is a reason why multiple people are calling you racist. I recommend you take a minute, step back from this conversation, and seriously take their remarks into consideration. unless of course, you don’t give a fuck about being called racist because you genuinely are a white supremacist…

Anonymous pirosnake 9w

as I *just stated*, definitions *CAN* change with common use, but it does not inherently and automatically change. you’re essentially advocating that people’s overwhelming ignorance on the topic of racism is justification for disregarding the modern definition in favor for the original one. looks like we need to repost this section once AGAIN

Oh I read. I just think that you call people cognitively dissonant when you don’t understand people’s perspectives. It looked almost like you were both arguing past each other, rather than with another.

Anonymous #41 9w

it seems like you don’t understand the definition of that term, and how it relates to your initial “train tracks” comment. it might be a shocking thing for someone like you to hear, but not all perspectives are worth considering. for example: the perspective of a white supremacist or one of a neonazi are both utterly worthless and, indeed, do not deserve to be considered in the slightest.

Anonymous #38 9w

This might be a shock to you, but the instinct to label things is not coming from anywhere good but from a place of fear and indoctrination. That is the very same way that McCarthyism gained power; because the label, regardless of whether or not it is valid or appropriate or even true, became the determinant for truth and respect. There are better mentalities.

Anonymous #41 9w

what an odd whataboutism that was. since you seemingly need a refresher on the conversation: I never labeled you as anything, I criticized your cognitive dissonance as you jumped to support the other commenter who was parroting the “racism against whites” bullshit, while they attempted to discredit academic progress in favor of racism’s “original definition”. i recommend that you redirect some of that energy in maintaining your preconceived biases towards furthering your educational journey.

Anonymous #41 9w

unless, of course, you independently identified with either label of “white supremacist” or “neonazi” after I cited those ideologies within my previous reply as examples of perspectives that do not deserve considering. I’ll let you decide: did you shift to a whataboutism, or did you identify with one of those terms?

Anonymous #38 9w

It’s not a whataboutism you dolt, it’s a logical analogy, because you label things fascist so that you can declare they’re not worth understanding and dismiss them, the same way people labeled shit communist so they could write it off without trying to understand it

The same way you made an analogy that his perspective isn’t worth trying to understand, the same way a neonazi’s isn’t worth trying to understand

Anonymous #39 9w

Did you somehow miss the words “for example”? to make an example, and to change the topic, are not the same thing. why do I need to explain this simple difference to you? it is not my fault that you fail to recognize fascism when it is presented to you, and furthermore advocate in favor of it. you truly thought you did something, didn’t you?

Slavery is actually still happening y’all we’ve gotta decolonize that myth. The 13th amendment which “abolished” slavery left a loophole called the exception clause: “except as a punishment for crime” which motivated the creation of Black codes and vagrancy laws to criminalize blackness. This is what became the industrial prison complex, and generates over $10 billion in yearly economic output today.

We incarcerate more people per capita than any other country in the world at almost 2 million incarcerated. Prison laborers are forced to work without basic worker protections such as minimum wage and workplace safety. This is largely considered a humanitarian crisis.
