What's the point of replacing one sham system with another?

Unfortunately they have to prove it, but won't be able to.. Because you know... They're wrong.

I'm not the one with a world view that distinctly separates races into different social classes.

People like yourself think "If only I was in control". I think you're no better then any other totalitarian.

Right, but then you wouldn't be able to dismiss OPs concerns. OP wasn't talking about systemic racism, they were talking about the common understanding of racism.

The purpose is to muddy the waters.

Except now you're telling me gravity only applies to people of colour.

And in your own analogy, you don't deny that gravity is a force. You don't deny that gravity makes things go down.

Racism as in racial prejudice is still a thing. No one has discovered some fundamental force that stops racial prejudice from being a thing. What you've done is started to view everything through class structures while denying racism can operate on an individual to individual level. That's not reality, that's just Marxism.

Social sciences, and dictionaries are two seperate things. No one is arguing that dictionaries replace social sciences, what people are saying is the common definition still stands.

As you already know, there is knowledge beyond the confines of the dictionary

Yet dictionaries still exist, and their definitions don't become invalid just because you want to avoid criticism.

Ah yes... the people calling out the racism are the issue. Very logical.

Nope.

Calling someone privileged is not judging that someone, it's judging how society treats them.

Adding layer of obfuscation doesn't make it not a judgment.

Also, as I said elsewhere: rightwing assholes are intentionally diluting the severity of racism by using it inappropriately all the time.

Maybe stop saying racist things?

Just to save you some headache, the people arguing racism requires power structures are Marxists, they view everything through class structures, and don't acknowledge that racism can occured at the level of individuals.

Oh I'm well aware of the attempt to redefine racism to avoid accountability.

You're talking about the Marxist definition of racism, aka systemic racism. OP is talking about the common definition of racism, as in to judge based on race.

being privileged is not an attribute of your person, it's how your environment treats you

Dude this is mental gymnastics. That's still an attribute.

If you judge someone by their race it doesn't matter the factors you've used to come to that conclusion, you're being racist.

You saw a rich white man once so whites can't be victims of racism?

I laughed 🤣

Skydiving!

I picked up a sport this year. People are surprisingly friendly.

Personally I'd rather address something myself. I like forming and expressing my own opinions, I like standing up for myself, I like arguing.

I post as I please.

Ah yes.. Let's discrimnate based on language, that'll help people progress.

If men as a group policed their own there would be a change.

This is actually a great idea! To make things simple perhaps we can give these policing men like.. some form of identification, like a badge or a uniform so people know who to trust. This is the game changer we needed.
