Explain to me, as if I'm an 8 year old, how that's racist? Unless that paragraph makes me racist towards every race all at the same time.

I think it’s the whole separation of the races thing that you were pushing for. You know, keeping the Africans in Africa, Asians in Asian, and Europeans in Europe. That part.

Ive never considered you a racist, by the way, but your logic here isn’t very far off from every racist ever. Saying races should be separate, and then saying, “How’s that racist? I’m saying they ALL need to be separate.” That’s not really an argument for why it’s not racist.

I'm kind of curious what you even think racism means if you don't see that that post as being obviously racist. You're saying that if you had the power to redraw borders, you'd segregate by race, no? Why? What possible reason would there be for that for a liberal?

It's probably not racist but an extreme form of nationalism and anti-migration stance. He did not include any racial purification requirement in there.

I feel like I keep getting into these arguments here where I just come across as like the most whiny, emotion driven idiot on this forum. I don't know why but it's interesting to engage, at least, even if at the end I feel embarrassed.

Nah, be you. I think you add a lot value to the WR. This being an under ground karate forum, so many pretend to be manly men. I think its cool that you dont even have to worry about that shit.

What made it the worst memory? I'm not being provocative, but rather trying to understand.

To give you some insight - I've had an "interesting" life and have had all sorts of ups and downs. To me the equivalent of Trump being elected is having Trudeau in office. And while they're the flip side of the same privileged, idiotic, ivory tower coin, I'll live and life will go on.

No it's okay, I appreciate you asking. I view things very much through the prism of my own experiences, which is selfish and not productive but I can't entirely help it. I think for me the thing that was most heartbreaking to me, and I mean there were lots of things, but most was the sexual assault that Trump bragged about and his repeated misogyny. When I was little, like I don't know 5 or 7, an adult neighbor repeatedly made me put his penis in my mouth and pissed in it. Later in life I experienced a different series of assault that were probably more graphic than that.

When I saw a man who called women pigs, bragged about grabbing their privates, was accused of rape take the white house and stand there it made me feel scared. I felt scared because to me I thought this would embolden people to be abusers, and to think that behavior was okay. I know this is a very personal reaction but I felt so upset. That isn't even to get into the fear my friends of color expressed when he was voted into office and what I felt for them. I don't know. It's dumb, I guess.

I think there's room for legitimate disagreement among liberals on the issue of "corrective" non-race-neutral policy. Is this best way to get a society where social status and economic benefits are not connected to race to act as if we're already there and just move forward or to actively try to fix existing inequities? The phrasing might not give proper credit to the former approach, as an effective corrective that didn't overcorrect in some areas and fail to correct in others would be difficult even if there were no political obstacles to implementation (and there are a lot--to the point that it's basically a non-starter). People having that discussion is a good way for us to see the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches.

By race because that's the best indicator we have for cultural norms.

Nevermind that racism obviously doesn't mean what you think it means. There's no superiority/inferiority judgement there, or anywhere, from me you'll find. I don't think Japan should be watered down with guyash, paprika, public sex, pálinka or other Hungarian norms. Is that due to racism, or because I value distinct societies and think they should remain distinct?

Are Asians one nationality? Are Europeans one nationality? Africans?

I’ve never heard that approach to nationalism. That sounds more like separating entire racial groups, with disregard for other factors, and using race as the determining factor for the borders.

She slipped. Insurance company says it's not their fault but cleaning company, and is now non-responsive.

What I gathered.

Edit: and she now is planning to sue @BEER 's repair shop if I understood correctly

Guys I almost died, if I didn’t have cat like reflexes I’d have smashed my face on the tile floor, slip and fall my ass.

and I just want them to admit it was not my fault in anyway, cause everyone that I tell about it either places the blame on me for my shoe choices, or says I don’t handle pain well, or says cause I still go into work (after being put off for a week as a pre caution) it can’t hurt that bad. I’m not saying this to be funny but I Can’t wear heels right now. I have to wear flats. No wedge shoes, flats flip flops or certain sneakers.

That’s how I read it as well @Bald1 and of course there’s no mention of the Americas or Oceania being for their natives. Just saying, it came across as segregationist at the least if you want to nitpick it as racist or not.

It's actually very anti-nationalist.

I get what you guys are saying, but to be fair I'm more concerned about culture than skin color.
 
What ever happened to @TheWorm?
