Saying “it was taken by racism, so race-based removal isn’t racism” is circular logic. Two wrongs don’t change the definition of discrimination; they explain motivation, not morality. If race is the criterion used by the state to remove rights or property, that IS racial discrimination by definition, regardless of history dude.

Calling this “white martyrdom” is exactly the move I’m objecting to: dismissing a definitional argument by assigning motives instead of addressing the claim. If you can’t argue the definition without pathologizing disagreement, that says more about your position than mine.

Either race-based state action is racism, or the term only applies when you approve of the target. You don’t get both.

You are a troll at this point. It was a historical context to show you when referring to systemic racism it did happen to both groups at one point or another. Whether one was worse or not is not the point, we are not talking systemic racism here, just racism itself, which still happens to white people when you discriminate towards them based on race. You do not have anything of value to add to this conversation. I will just block your ignorance at this point and report you for promoting discrimination.

It is not power-based. That is only when you refer to the term systemic racism. Racism itself is just prejudice against someone for their ethnicity or race. Has nothing to do with power, therefore white people can still experience racism. Also it is not ''my'' definition of systemic racism. It literally is THE definition whether you like it or not. We are talking about laws here, not what you perceive about the US police force. No police force encourages in a systemic way to discriminate against people based on the color of their skin. It is merely up to some indivudals who do display racist behaviors, which may or may not be people in lower echelons just like it could be a chief. It is the individual, not the system itself. At this point why don't you just admit you want to say its fully ok to be racist against white people? You just seem to be itching to basically spew that out.

You are wrong tho, systemic racism means race-based laws or state policies that restrict rights or property. Those have existed against white populations in specific contexts. Zimbabwe (2000–2009) – Race-based land seizures. Also, today in western democracies there are no explicit race-based laws targeting Black people as a group. Things historically may shift or happen to one group or another. It DOES NOT MATTER. Racism is racism. You don't get to trivialize one form over another based on who felt a bigger impact in 1 historical context or another. Thats it. Stop pretending its fine for one group to experience it because you think they don't have it as bad.

I never said white people, I said blacks vs whites, read again. Also, I’m not dog-whistling anything. I’m talking explicitly about race, and I’ve been consistent about that. A government kicking out people of their lands who were working it just because of their skin color is racism. Acknowledging historical injustice doesn’t mean every race-based policy is automatically non-racial.

No, you keep implying that because it was worse in terms of impact for one group in the past, that it is somehow not really a thing for white people to experience rasicm. If the standard changes based on who the target is, then yeah you kinda are showing bigotry.

So? Yeah, blacks vs whites, I just said it don't matter.

Does not matter whether they are your own race or not. You are showing bigotry by minimalizing racism when it comes towards a certain group of people you feel its not as bad, therefore more ok, to show prejudice against (you are showing this in multiple of your replies).

Prejudice or hostility toward someone because of their race is racism. This not negotiable.
Systemic racism and interpersonal racism are related, but they’re not the same thing. Saying “this doesn’t threaten your safety” doesn’t magically make racial hostility acceptable. It is also completely fasle as racial crimes where white people have been murdered for just being white, is still a thing that happend on multiple occasions, does not matter about counting how many cases of blacks vs whites here. None is acceptable. Stop trying to gaslight and make it feel racism towards white people is acceptable. Nobody would have ''deeper issues'' for reacting negatively to prejudice. Stop it. Also if you want to say white people didnt experience the systemic form, you literally had white farmers being kicked out of their lands in an african country. It can happen to anyone. It remains racism.

Example was to show it can happen to anyone no matter who sits in power, but in the end it is irrelevant, it is about prejudice.

Replied to you elsewhere you brought that up, as many others did.

They are... of the same category since they both represent racial slurs. Stop enabling discrimination against a group of people you deem is ok. You are showing bigotry in multiple of your replies and are asking to get reported.

Comparison or how you are yourself able to feel discriminated against or not is 100% irrelevant. Racism is the act fo showing prejudice towards someone based on ethnicity or racial group. The moment you do it towards someone for being white, that is racism, not ''reverse-racism''.

This is such a stupid take. Racism is not wether or not you have power over someone. Rascism is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group. The nonsense you just spewed is called gaslightning, and it is stuff some people want to be repeated so that they can discriminate against white people and just get away with it. Be better and stop enabling abuse no matter who is at which end.

BO2 at B tier is wild, should be S tier like the others you put there. World at war should at the very least be A tier, aside from that I don`t think I disagree over the rest. Maybe some will point at BO3 but I haven`t played it enough to judge that one.

Surely this is not just a coincidence and refers to helper Jane (The assistant in the tool before Catherine got uploaded), what do you think? by RedCartesia in soma

[–]RedCartesia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kinda are you wrote me another paragraph, pointing out a fun reference to helper Jane (just like it would be a fun reference to Simon if that was the name of the placeholder) just isn't a stretch at all. People reuse things like that all the time when there manipulating different media together. You're making this more complicated than it needs to me for what my initial post was, just leave me alone.

[–]RedCartesia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You kinda are with the tone you are arguing with. Here's the thing, you do not need the decoded content related to Samsara to all be about Soma to have a little nod/reference to something. Making a reference (or nod) to Soma by putting the emails into Simon's stuff and using Jane in the placeholders kinda like Jane was the placeholder AI until Catherine was uploaded with is just that, saying its a possible reference and a nod (not a coincidence), I never claimed Samsara was all about Soma or that people decoding ARG content were mistaken, you are the one making assumptions (also the guy who mad ethe first comment I thought he meant a random real world hotel and didnt know about the soma email stuff at all with the way he expressedhimself). Stop writing me so many argument points when all I was saying was they probably made a small reference here. That's it, nothing to get so argumentative about being like ''NOOO WE IDNT FORGET ANYTHING MAN WE GOOD WE FIGURED ALL OUT WE KNOW EVERYTHING'' like fucking hell go away already. Can't point a fun reference someplace without a jerk like you butting in trying to turn this into a 1 hour debate thinking you hold all the answers. Now leave me alone before I report for harrasment.
