i'm taking a class about minorities in japan but it really helps me confront minority issues here in the united states. that's why i used that citation.
If I remember the course... it's something to do with white scientists just pulling names and whatnot out of their wrinkly saggy butts to assign to different skull shapes to promote the superiority of the Western culture.
it's not because we are "mixed in various degrees," because we are instead one species; i also hate that one commercial with a fiery passion, the "i'm irish, british, and cherokee" makeup commercial--that's what this kind of argument might justify. but i would like to highlight and put proximities on your argument that with this kind of conclusion, organizations like blm must acknowledge forty years of cop shootings on blacks to equal one single year of black on black violence, or that seventy-three percent of black children grow up without a father is when this wall in society would begin to crumble. it is not only when witnesses begin to feel comfortable to come forward will this illusional division of race disappear, which would lead to a better plea bargain when the facts are presented, but divisions will disappear altogether between humans when we lament the murder of a black female like nell lindsey and be just as much upset at the hands of an abusive husband, which he was, than at the hands of a white cop. i would like to get to the point where we're equally outraged at the loss of life.
to whom it may concern: if there isn't at least several facts in your reply, i will not respond because it isn't an intellectual argument.
i didn't intend to start any flame war; i've just been wanting to get this off of my chest. hopefully no one will reply tbh bc i gotta study--
which is amazing, hell yeah. power to the people. the issue is when the race someone identifies as is suddenly a factor in what privileges they have or don't have. it's a historical and systemic issue that has only recently been recognized as still "well and alive."
race is a social construct that has been a deciding factor for so long of who is worthy for benefits or burdens.
