True. But the races are, on average, different. Just like the sexes. Those words do exist to imply that we are wrong when we notice those differences. But the words wont stop existing. You cant unmake them. They must be owned. If a word is to be made to describe a person who notices the differences between races then that word accurately describes me. I dont care what anyone thinks of the word. I wont play games trying to dodge around the facts. I DO think races are noteably different and i AM a racist. Oh well.
The act of throwing out the word "racism" is called a "thought terminating cliché."
I'd say look it up, but the term of course has been redefined since originally conceived, so I'll have to give my best definition from memory.
If we're having a debate, and I say "despite being 13% of the population...."
then you throw out "RACIST!!"
Then it basically ends the conversation, any onlookers are no longer pondering the merit of my argument, but whether or not I am a "racist" or Nazi, bigot, [insert buzzword]. Common folk will immediately go on the defensive, "I am not a racist, let me prove it!!"
You can call me a racist all day long, I won't deny it, but I won't call myself a racist.
I DO think races are noteably different and i AM a racist. Oh well.
Most people here probably think the same way. The question is would you say this out loud at work or at a family gathering?
Leftism shuts down the truth by making it politically incorrect. THAT is the real problem.
I have said this to coworkers (liberal ones) and family. It takes time, caution, tact. And obviously it cant be said to everyone. But it can be said more than most people think. But yes political correctness is designed to make it impossible to argue against progressivism successfully in polite company.
I've expressed some politically incorrect truths to coworkers and was called a bigot for it. These are guys I'm work friends with so it never got me in trouble but I'm super cautious with my speech at work.
With family I'm a lot less reserved. My family is fucked anyway so I don't really care what they think of me.
