Spike 12,049 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 no, but you're acting as if having a fucking black friend means you're not racist.Well you seem to think I'm racist for some reason. I'm not even going to bother.Even if you don't nearly everything you've said to me and this is my interpretation feels like you are implying that you think I'm racist.

Stingray 9,441 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 To try to erase race is kind of racist, in the way that it negates people's experiences with their race and their identity, esp. for people of color.It always baffles me how social constructionists/postmodernists (your argumentation is one) explain it like this. It is like Baron Von Munchausen who lifts himself up from a swamp by his own beard If I follow your logic: all efforts to fight racism are racist. That is stuff of sophists. I do think Bonilla Silva is one - his claims are always true, no matter what. Hence they are unfalsifiable by nature and mere sophistry. I do get where you come from though. It is just that if the marker that constitutes your 'race' is no longr relevant for people - racism as we know it will go away. The funny thing is - and this is what that research suggest - is that people are by nature looking for coalitions. So .... we will create other outgroups inevitably. A true postmodernist would not need any science of course ps: just teasing of course Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race literally defines so much for so many people, still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stingray 9,441 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I do finally see races mingle so much because of the way the world is evolving (global, mobility is increasing, internet, ....)For example : in my family We have white, black, and every possible shade in between. If that is already happening, the trend will inevitably continue. When that happens, race will become an obselete concept. Mind you, that could take ages. I hope ....
