Which leans towards whites. Which goes beyond classism. So renaming an issue of a certain race having a bias in their favor to something that tries to obscure the idea it's based on race is dishonest.

It's like trying to rename 'white supremacists' 'racial supremacists' because using the word 'white' makes him uncomfortable. Hell, maybe he does think the phrase 'white supremacist' is race baiting too. I don't know.

Good thing you and elph know better than I do about what triggers me or makes me uncomfortable.

Also, that example.. Idk if I've been misunderstanding the usage for years but they are called white supremacists because they believe white people are the supreme race, not because they are white people.

White supremacy is an offshoot of the umbrella that would be racial supremacy. That's really not a fair comparison to how white privilege is being used.

Any race can think that they are superior, it's not inherent to whites.

Yeah, and?

Whatever race goes before supremacist doesn't describe the people who believe it, it describes the belief. You can have a white person who is a black supremacist, no?

I don't appreciate you pinning it on all whites.

DwnWthVwls 07-30-2018 10:52 AM

Okay, who should we pin it on?

Seeing as rs has responded, isn't it time to close this? Seems monotonous to keep it open now.

DwnWthVwls 07-30-2018 10:57 AM

You seem monotonous.
