Or....She's not 100% black.

Exactly!Or....
White man DNA in her?
Probably how she became a "singer"....
Modern society encourages it?Why do people who are half white always lean harder to the non white half of their ethnicity?
Is it okay to be superior, or should we celebrate the median and encourage meritocracy?It's a bit of both sides. On one side, whites have been brainwashed into thinking they are superior to any other race. And on the other side, whites have been brainwashed into having guilt for being white.
It's like many things in life. People lean into the extremes. Racism against non-whites exists on masse, and we shouldn't allow it. But we also shouldn't tell people that they should feel guilty for the sins of their parents. Both approaches lead to more divisiveness.
Oh, fuck off with that bullshit, brother.I'm not white so I haven't got a horse in this race but to add to your post, even the derogatory term for whites from the blacks (cracker) is not even really an insult to whites, just reminding themselves that whites were the whip "crackers".
PS I feel I have to add that I mean no insult to either race and just stating the obvious.
Are you suggesting we should celebrate superiority based on skin colour? Because that's specifically what I was talking about.Is it okay to be superior, or should we celebrate the median and encourage meritocracy?
Do we cancel all forms of competition?
Society as a whole has a problem at hand, one which it does not appear we're able to reasonably resolve with the greater interests of our entire species.
For me, it is about finding a balance, something that is rare these days in a social arena.
Considering the history of Europe, perhaps they did not have the time to contemplate such motives while seeking to ward off invaders from other parts of Europe.As I see it, the issue is historical. Whites don't get offended because they don't have a history of being oppressed.
That's why "White bastard" and "Black bastard" don't have the same level of offence. As a white man, I couldn't give a shit what someone calls me. Because I didn't have a history of racial oppression. If I wasn't white then I'm sure I would feel completely different.
That's the point I'm trying to make in this conversation. It's not the same. And it can never be the same.
Here's a another example that may help people see it from my point of view. A mate of mine told a joke when we were at the pub. It was a rape joke. It was a mild rape joke, but it was still a rape joke which is messed up. And I hate to say this but I laughed at it. Most of us laughed at it. Except for one woman in our group. Her response was, "I don't find it funny, and I didn't find it funny when I was gang raped at 16"
We are the summation of our experiences. A white person is unlikely to be offended when someone racially villifies them because that white person didn't grow up learning about their parents being treated like scum. That white person didn't grow up being treated like they are a lessor citizen just 'cause of the colour of their skin. So when a white person gets racially abused, it's still racism. But it's not the same.
Wait, are you attempting to point out the difference between a joke with nil intent to hurt/victimise, and targeted racism designed to oppress, victimise, harass, and the like?Agreed. That's why I keep saying that Kerr should cop it for what she said, and that racism is racism. Just pointing out that there's different levels of racism due to history. As such, white people are unlikely to be as offended by racism as non-whites. But racism is still racism regardless of where it comes from.
I have seen people sharing that shirt design, saying that Kerr is a hero for saying it. She's not. She got drunk, and abused a police officer that was just trying to do his job. And she did it with racism built in. That doesn't make her a hero, it just makes her a drunk idiot.
Doesn't know how to braid or grow hair that is conducive toward dreadlocks.You can't jump?
I am proposing we should celebrate natural evolution.Are you suggesting we should celebrate superiority based on skin colour? Because that's specifically what I was talking about.
True. But that wasn't really racial. It was a combination of things. Generally poverty vs non-poverty which has existed everywhere throughout history. And the other side was British vs anyone they could oppress. The British empire was brutal.Considering the history of Europe, perhaps they did not have the time to contemplate such motives while seeking to ward off invaders from other parts of Europe.
So "discrimination is discrimination" isn't?
HMA I am positive you are aware, yet for those playing on the back fields.
Look into why bad 'dad' jokes are so effective.
Yes, there is research into it
Oh, I am positive many white people grew up in an environment where their parents and immediate social circle were treated like scum.
The Irish, let alone many working-class white people forced to migrate away from their homeland, their family, and friends over 'liberating' a bread roll in the name of survival, both offhand come to mind.
Nope. Pointing out that:Wait, are you attempting to point out the difference between a joke with nil intent to hurt/victimise, and targeted racism designed to oppress, victimise, harass, and the like?
And brown eyes provide better vision in high sunlight situation.I am proposing we should celebrate natural evolution.
For example, blue eyes have better night vision.
Yeah, it's stupid. But people are stupid.Who is actually calling Sam Kerr a hero?? Even if she gets off the racism charge, somehow which I don’t agree with. It’s ethically wrong, so how could she have support
Gotcha. Surely the police have recorded audio. Or maybe not a thing in UKYeah, it's stupid. But people are stupid.
Btw, her defence is that she didn't call him a white bastard. Even though she was so blindly drunk that she can't remember anything.
UK have more surveillance than any other country. But I don't think they focus at the police level.Gotcha. Surely the police have recorded audio. Or maybe not a thing in UK
Haha, they sure are.Yeah, it's stupid. But people are stupid.
