Never said he said the exact quote. Just posted what I found close to it. I thought that was kinda obvious.
I strongly disagree. In fact, he specifically mentions the guy’s color as the problem (tho I feel that he personally has no problem with it. He’s just pandering and grandstanding as does most politicians to their base). In fact, In doubt he’d have a problem at all if the color was anything BUT white.
And you follow either way that is racist, correct?

I'm confused at the logic here some apparently are using. "I'm not voting for you because your skin is white" and "I'm not voting for you because your skin isn't black"...either of those scenarios are racist lol.
If there is a reason, other than race, that Schumer gave for not voting I would love for these people to provide it.

Did we just enter a bizarro world where wanting to deny someone a position based solely on race is not racism?
What is even stranger is you think the Republicans are choosing based on race and say that is racist, but somehow the Democrats doing it...is not racist.
The logic put forth by Schumer is essentially "I think the GOP is racist and thus I'm going to stand up to them by being racist".
You need to realize that one act of racism doesn't somehow cancel out another act of racism.

i wonder what problem white ppl have with diversity?? i think chuck schumer was quite brave as a white man to say that there is not enough diversity in our government and that we need to change. democrats can't back down on this issue.

Hmm, well what he's doing isn't actually that brave. You are correct he is a white man. Wouldn't a true mark of bravery be if he gave up his position to a black person?
What do you feel the chances of that ever happening are, on a scale of 1 to 10?

No doubt the lack of diversity in the NBA just grinds Schumers gears.

it is NOT racist to support diversity and equality. we have had white males ruling the country for centuries and allowing officials from other cultures is in no way racist towards white ppl. policies like affirmative action are also simply making up for those massive gaps and inequalities created. no matter how you spin it, anti-racism is not racism.

discrimination against another race from a position of power (prejudice plus power).

So an unemployed and homeless KKK member can't be racist?

no because he is still in a position of privilege due to being white. that is the dominant race and culture in america and so all white ppl benefit from it to some degree. his position in society is still higher than an unemployed and homeless black man who would probably be shot by cops and is more likely to be arrested and so on.

Just to humor you, if that KKK member were to move to Japan. would he still be a racist?

yes because in the grand scheme of things he has still been quite privileged. the fact that he even has the money to move to japan and start a new life is something that many black ppl don't get to do because they are mostly born in poverty.

Thanks for admitting that positions of power aren't needed to be racist.
Thanks for playing.

he is in a position of power though. he has the wealth to move across countries and escape his situation. in his home country, he is also more likely to start off with more wealth and is in the majority culture. that is a position of power that white people like him have. as i said, a black person who is poor will likely be shot be cops or arrested before having any chance to improve their condition.
