Is racism ever justified? -

[Doc Cassidy]

I'm not talking about hood wearing nazis or anything like that, that's a hateful type of racism. I'm talking about more of a common sense kind. For instance let's say that you were mugged by a black so now just to be on the safe side you simply avoid them whenever possible like moving to the other side of the street or refusing to hire one. That's not hatred because it's rooted in self preservation and seems perfectly justified to me.

What do you think? Is it sometimes perfectly understandable to be racist?

The kind of 'racism' you describe doesn't even exist. I would just call it tribalism, and say that it's completely normal and justified.

It depends on your definition of racism. Some would say that smirking while white is racist.

 

[SweetDee]

Be as racist as you want. Just don't hurt anyone who isn't a direct threat to you or your loved ones.

Anyone who thinks any race is better than another is dumb

Yeah guys, didn't you get the memo that all races and cultures are equal? No but in earnest, you are wrong here, though I shall argue no further.

I'm not suggesting that some races are better just that some are worse. imho it makes absolute sense to be terrified of the horrific violence the blacks inflict upon the world!

It really depends on how you define "better". If you're using it as something that would make a White man inherently better than a Black mean, sure, that's dumb, but, to deny the averages and trends that are easily visible to any unbiased person is at least equally dumb.

I'm not suggesting that some races are better just that some are worse.

The statement "some races are better than others" is semantically identical to the statement "some races are worse than others". You can't say one without saying the other.

Yes I can dumbass I just fucking did it!!

Race and culture are different things. Race generally doesn't make a big difference in daily life, it's culture that primarily defines how people behave.

it's only justified towards small dog races and their owners. due to bad socialization both display and the levels of noise they emit.

 

[GreenJacket]

Racism is when you have communities naturally segregated by ethnicity.

Spoiler

And that's a good thing.

And from where do you think culture comes? Does it just fall out of the sky? Is it a coincidence that whites created western culture? Biology creates society and race/demographics are significantly more important than culture any day. Ask any non white in America to discuss his identity and he will state his racial identity first.

Those behaviors are solely due to socio-economic factors, I assure you.

Not just justified, sometimes it's downright healthy.

I watched an episode of I Survived once, and there was a cute-as-a-button white college girl who pulled into a gas station. A black kid of about 15 comes up to her with his dindu nuffin face on, and he asks her for a ride down the street. Ditzy was like "He looked so innocent, and it was raining, and I didn't want to be racist, so..." and she let him jump into her car, and off they went.

Uh boy, here it comes.

Hilarity ensued for a few hours until the girl finally intentionally plowed her car into a lamp post at high speed and made her escape. That right there is some toxic wokeness.

Me myself, I also have a certain specific racist defense mechanism. There are lots of roundabouts in my town, and there are also lots of newly-immigrated Asians, and said Asians can't figure out how to operate the roundabouts for the life of them- or the life of anybody else for that matter.

As I'm driving in the roundabouts, I make it a point to look at the eyes of the drivers coming to merge into the roundabouts. If I spot the slanty, I ease my foot up on the gas, and prepare to hit the brake in a hurry.

It's a strategy that has saved me from ruination at least three times now.

To own the libs. Also racism against white men is fine.

Holy Satan on a christmas cracker, I remember that episode! He said he needed a ride to his mom's house or something and then he pulled out a gun. I'll bet she's never given a guy darker than a paper bag a ride again!

Some people gotta learn the hard way.

First off, Define "Western Culture". The wide differences between the ways a Russian, an American, a German, and an Englishman view the world would seem to go against your position.
You're not wrong about the some degree of biological essentialism needing to be present when discussing the nature of different societies and civilizations but I take umbrage with the claim that "Biology creates society" rather than it just being one of many factors.

How do you define race, anyways? I mean, groups of people with the same skin color often consider themselves different and are bigoted towards each other despite their similar genes.
