If you want to develop your understanding of the complex subject of racism, you might consider starting with one of the well cited papers that is both within the modern era but distant enough from both the USA and the most recent political and social discourse as to stand clear of most accusations of bias.

Discourse and the Denial of Racism

What form of denial do you suspect you are most likely to use?

I certainly don't need to deny anything which is unfounded.

So you won't even begin to engage with a non-US, non-2010s, well respected well researched scholarly article on the subject?

On a Friday night at midnight, no I don't particularly feel like doing that. You're welcome to it.

Philadelphia will be making an update in 20 mins of 20,000 votes, could be the moment Biden takes the lead

Serious question. Because there have been so many mail in votes, due to an understandable desire not to get Covid19, and the need for those votes to be sent out and returned in enough time to count, it is entirely feasible that at least some people have cast their vote while they were legit alive, but have died before the actually counting began. Does their vote count or not?

 

[CaptainJackson]

Biden just taken the lead in PA

 

[CaptainJackson]

Last batch of mail in votes

Biden 27,396
Dickhead 3,760

 

[Flanagun]

Biden takes the lead in PA.

The crazy is going to go into overdrive...

Yes, yes the ~70 million people who have voted for him are all racists! Even those voters who previously voted for Obama in 08' and 12' and are now voting for Trump - they're racists as well!

Judging by yours and Hacky's loose standards everyone is racist, to the point where the term racism has lost all meaning.

You literally proved my point about being ill equipped with the brain function of critical thinking and research. I was clearly talking about people NOT from America, read my original comment. I understand that people from America have varying views as to why they would vote for that idiot, I can’t believe it, but I understand. Some support him because of the financial benefits, some because they’re religious nuts, some because of trade. But for everyone else on this earth who isn’t directly impacted by his evil administration, then YES, you’re a wannabe racist.

I assume their vote would count as it takes time to register a death.
