Does he even like black chicks?
lol

I’ve actually heard straight white guys seriously saying they wouldn’t **** a black woman.

Personally, I don’t believe that anyone on earth is that racist.

In my experience most suburban white men fall in that category

If you completely reject any cricism based on pragmatism the likelihood of you coming up with an unworkable plan that fails and only makes things worse is exceedingly high.

Pragmatism doesn't even work though. All societies eventually disintegrate due to the unforeseen consequences of their pragmatism (often because their pragmatism caused significant ill will in the people who brought about their downfall) and inside of those societies pragmatism causes stratification and misery. The way it always ends up working for dumb humans due to short term "best we can do" dip**** logic that ignores actual longterm planning is a cycle of growth and collapse.

You'll be dead before global warming really destroys modern civilization but your kids might have a hard time. I figure I have an aces wild history of heart problems in my family that will take me out with how I live my life so if "we" is me and you then we're probably fine.

I mean.. what is the alternative that supposedly works better than pragmatism? To the extent that every society runs into problems based on pragmatic decisions, that's probably mostly true only because pragmatic decisions are necessary and thus ubiquitous in all civilizations. It's not like idealism has a much better success rate.
