Ignoring Race is Racist

April 8, 2010

A most amazing bit of convoluted thunking from the BVoAF:

re: #317 SanFranciscoZionist

Bush, pace Kanye West, had an excellent personal track record on race

Being blind to racial differences IS racism. Not overt, hateful racism, but racism nonetheless. When people claim to want to live in a “colorblind” society where race doesn’t matter, then everyone would essentially have to be the same. Cultural niches would cease to exist (hip hop culture, cinco de mayo, etc), because the majority does not participate or enjoy these things.

In short, if you want to live in a color-blind society, then some cultural norm has to be established. Inevitably, this norm will be set by the majority culture, thus phasing out the minority cultures. Hence, racism.

Get all that?

    In other words,only whites and anything resembling “white culture” can be racist, and if you think or speak otherwise you are a racist.

      And you’re racist if you question whether it’s racist to be a racist. Or something like that.

    If you, as I do, vehemently deny that there are such things are divergent and identifiable separate “races” of human beings — based on scrupulous genetic studies, mind you — then you are a racist, I suppose…

    All are racists except the de facto racists themselves…

    This is what occurs when the (in many cases, self-avowed) irrationalists deceptively don the cloak of reasonability…

      It’s funny how the Left is so race based. Then again Marx himself called for the elimination of the inferior races.

    MLK’s ” I have a dream” speech was racist.

    oh, OK

    A horrible confusion of culture, sub-culture, and race.
    What is a nation’s cultural norm? The law.

      Well, yeah. If we ignore race, where are we going to find the really, really, good fried chicken? At the Min Yan noodle house?
