Racism

[scientificred]

I have started this thread so that people can air their views from whatever background and hopefully enlighten people from an opposing background as to what they consider racism or otherwise.
Hopefully this will lead towards a better understanding of ourselves and others with regards these issues and how we should address ourselves and others in this world.
This may need the use of deragatory phrases to be allowed. Mods please advise.

I have never seen anyone who is black or white. We are all different shades of brown.

Race and ethnicity in genetic terms refers to the frequency of clusters in a population.
It correlates well with the ancients view of 12 or so tribes of man. They used their eyes to see the differences and the genetic analysis back up that view.
These can be important factors in medical treatments, drug trials and predicted inheritance of conditions.

Out of interest do you find the terms white privilige or systemic racism very confusing left wing ideas ?

I do my fair bit.
I am an artist.
From early days I was taught that black and white are not colours but tones.

No

No

If you dont see white, how can you comprehend white privilige ?

If you dont see race, how can you comprehend systemic racism ?

I'd argue systemic racism as presented by left wingers is largely a function of being unable to process and analyse data.
But I can understand the concept as i can perceive people have different racial and ethnic features.

I'm only jesting mate. Sadly there's racism in every walk of life and some use it as a tool for hate. I guess we'll never get rid of it but hopefully you would think the vast majority of us are tolerant of everyones beliefs and colour.
Sadly I live in a country were the 2nd biggest political party members can't bring themselves to even say the name of our country !!

I never said that I do not see white.

I gathered you've seen the colour white as you said youd never saw a white or black person. I also assume you've seen the colour black.

I'm not sure what shade of brown Robbo, Corbyn or Bojo are tbh. What shade would you deem them to be given your artistic status.

You fail to read my posts.
I have never seen anyone who is black or white. Black and white are perfect opposites. Black absorbs every colour and does not reflect any. White reflects every colour and does not absorb any. You will not come across these ideals in life. The closest you will come to these is, for example, a wood surface painted with matt black or matt white paint.
The people you mention, or any others you may care to mention, are neither black or white but rather various shades of brown. I am not going to describe their particular colour as I have never met them and it would depend on the particular time of day and circumstances (for example after a recent spell of sunbathing or illness) and the lighting available.

To me its only a skin tone.. we are all different.. ie different shaped noses ears mouths. tall short fat thin. Skin colour is just another difference. Racism is prejudiced and the worse kind.. Along with homophobia and sexism.. In the 21st century we should see people for who they are not how they appear

My solution to ageism is not to get old.Im staying young forever.

Like the joke goes.. I don't mind dying... I just don't want to be there when it happens.
