Race not being a factor is a fantasy at this point, which perhaps someday can be achieved but hasn't yet.
What do you mean I don’t know what you do or do not know? I was talking about our specific discussion and it is right here for you and everyone else to reread. It’s very clear what we were discussing. Wtf you whining about?
And you are not contributing to the reality that we all need to strive for until you take off your color-biased glasses and see us all as humans instead of the color of our skin.

Again, using stats/number to justify racism is exactly I just said.My answer? Why does the color matter? The color should not matter as marbles are marbles. Get rid of cracked ones.
Humans are not defined by our color. As a minority myself, this is the reality I strive for. If you cannot see past the color of your own skin, that is your failing, not mine.

Who has argued white people should be attacked on the basis of their skin. Quote me. I want an explicit statement, not a statement you're assuming to say as much. I've seen firefly say the opposite multiple times.
The point is that if both black people and white people are being criticized equally, you would still end up with more criticized white people because they're more white people. That's like me saying it's racist that we hear more about white people doing good stuff than black people doing good stuff.

Actually, there are more Asian people if you wanna be more accurate. America isn’t the whole world you know. And criticisms doesn’t only come from America and shouldn’t only be directed to America and isn’t exculsively owned and managed by it.
The point is color shouldn’t matter. It shouldn’t even be brought up. Bad ppl do bad shit and criticize the bad people and stay there.
Originally posted by NibedicusIt would be similar to use statistics by identifying their hair color. It doesn't matter one bit. As you said people are people the skin color doesn't matter.

I knowwwww.
But it’s soooooo hard to make them understand....
It’s like their preconceptions are so ingrained that no amount of logic can change it.

Originally posted by quanchi112If people with blonde hair have all the money and power, why should they change anything? They're comfortable with the status quo, they're not gonna change things in the interest of people with brown hair who are suffering.

Originally posted by Firefly218Their blonde hair has nothing to do with anything. You're focusing on the blonde hair when that isn't significant at all. Might as well break this logic down further and say thise with excessive nose hair have all the power while those with less nose hair are powerless and make that the focus of your argument. This just as the hair color, skin tone, etc. doesn't determine anything.

People in power will do what they can to retain power and acquire more. Power and the corruption is the issue not the skin color. You're focusing on the wrong thing.
