I Am Not Racist

this group makes me angry because yeah you might not be blatantly racist but I’m sure you’ve contributed to the systematic oppression of poc at one time or another. get off your high horse and maybe start *actually* making a difference.

Nah. Instead, I'll tell you to stop looking for fake racism to blame everything on, take responsibility for your own life, and give up the identity politics.

@Sicarium ....how was this looking for fake racism?
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels The SJW key words you used.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium what words would you prefer I used?
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels I don't care what you words you use, I reject intersectionality completely. How you package it up doesn't matter.

There is no systemic oppression of "poc". There's no such thing as white privilege or passive racism. And by "doing something", I suspect you really mean be an ally, which means bowing down to SJW demands and going along with whatever intersectionality group you're placed in for no other reason than the color of your skin. I'll pass.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium are you white?
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels Yes. And I already know where you're going. That's irrelevant. I am more than the color of my skin. You do not have the authority to define me or tell me who I am. Like I said, I reject intersectionality completely.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium And you do not have the authority to tell what is and is not racism, as you will NEVER experience it. Now, please leave with your sense of superiority. You are contributing nothing to this conversation and only making yourself look bad.
@Sicarium Systemic racism isn't up for debate. It exists. Take the US for example. It completely disadvantaged people for hundreds of years based on their race.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels Sure I do. There's this thing called a dictionary. We have a working definition of racism. I'll stick to that definition and point out when people try to redefine racism to suit their agenda.

You're getting triggered. I have no sense of superiority. I'm contributing my viewpoint. You just don't like it. You don't want me to "contribute", you want me to acquiesce. It won't happen.

Also, you don't get to tell me what I can talk about. You're embracing the authoritarianism of intersectionality. If you can't handle someone that doesn't agree with you, then get triggered and block me. But you won't silence me.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium The dictionary was written by a white man. what’s your point?
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Qwerty14 False. Everything is up for debate.

And no, there is no systemic oppression. It's already illegal. That's just an excuse to use vague, unprovable accusations of racism to silence and condemn people.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels So it's invalid just because it was written by a white person? That's racist. Literally. You are judging the value of a dictionary strictly by the skin color of the person you imagine wrote it.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium ...no, because white people dont experience racism so it’s unlikely they actually understand it lol.
@Sicarium Being ignorant isn't an excuse. I suggest you look into it more. Look at a nation like the US and its very very racist history towards any race that wasn't white. You'll find genocide, slavery, segregation, discrimination and many others. Things that still have consequences today
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels Again, I reject intersectionality. The usual talking points that get you credit for in your women's studies class have no sway with me.

White people are not some monolithic group. And plenty of white people, as individuals, have experienced racism. You just demonstrated that by claiming a dictionary is invalid because it was written by a white person

The white guy who gets beaten to death by a group of black guys strictly because he's white was just as much of a victim of racism as he would've been if the races were reversed. Both acts are evil. Pretending the white person deserved doesn't make it right.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Qwerty14 No, I've looked into it plenty. I'm more familiar with SJW dogma than most SJWs. And simply proclaiming I'm ignorant to excuse your own lack of ability to prove your assertions only proves me right.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium google is free. use it.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels Translation: you can't actually refute anything I'm saying because you know I'm right but you're not willing to question your own world view or challenge your own racism.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium I can, but it’s a waste of my time because you’re set on your beliefs. id be happy to educate you if you’d actually listen instead of preaching at me about what racism is.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels Then do it and stop making excuses.

And I'm not preaching, I'm correcting your false, racist assertions. Meanwhile, you're trying to preach to me how racist I am just because I'm white. And you don't see the disconnect or the irony.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium you’re not willing to listen. once you are, i would be happy to. but I’m not going to educate someone that’s being rude to me and only has the intention of arguing.
Sicarium · 46-50, M
@Issabels And again, you do not have the authority to define me.

And I'm in no way being rude. On the contrary, I'm being polite. You on the other hand have told me to stop talking, to leave, and that I'm ignorant. So stop being a hypocrite and stop making excuses. If you can articulate your belief, do it.
Issabels · 22-25, F
@Sicarium i never said you were ignorant or told you to stop talking. I politely asked you to leave because I feel you just want to argue rather than hear what I have to say.
Sicarium · 46-50, M

That wasn't polite.

I feel you just want to argue rather than hear what I have to say.

Your feelings don't matter. I have tried to get you to articulate your beliefs several times. You've ignored those attempts. And I'm done trying. You want to stick a script, a script I've heard over and over again and reject. You want to tell me I'm racist because I'm white and you think you somehow have the authority to demand I simply accept it. No.

So, I stand by my original position. There is no such thing as systemic oppression. Progressive intersectionality is a vapid, racist ideology that imagines fake racism to justify very real racism, and it comes at the very expense of the people it claims to be trying to help. By adopting that ideology, you have become the racist. Individuals are more than their skin color or their identity group. Hopefully, you'll come to understand that and place some value in people at some point. But I kind of doubt it.

@Sicarium says the white man lol. ok buddy
