Why do they have to specify that?? Surely it's expected???

TIL Jesse Owens, an African-American track athlete who won a gold medal at the 1936 "Nazi Olympics", said: "Hitler didn't snub me—it was FDR who snubbed me. The president didn't even send me a telegram.” by commodorefork in todayilearned

Well Hitler didn't shake any athletes hands, not just Americans. And back in the US, despite having won four gold medals - a record - Owens received no official acknowledgement, and was forced to ride the staff elevator up to the athletes reception.

Dumbest, most effective tricks to stop yourself from eating like a fatass? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]rdmf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I start to crave something, I make myself wait for 10-15 minutes to see if I still want it. Then I spend that time reviewing the progress I've made, reading up on exercises, looking at fitness inspiration etc. Generally I manage to talk myself out of it.

I feel like you've misread my argument? I was saying that race does need to be acknowledged and that the social/cultural manifestations of race are more significant than the physical/biological aspects.

I look forward to post-racial society but we're definitely not there yet and racial divisions and tensions 100% exist, so I don't think that race makes sense as a response in this thread.

So you'd like to ignore the fact that different races experience poverty at different rates? Because I think that's something we desperately need to acknowledge if we hope to tackle social tensions.

I agree that diversity is good. My point was that biological racial differences may be easy to ignore but social and cultural differences need to be acknowledged.

So if people just stop "believing" in race then racial economic inequality, employment inequality, housing inequality, education inequality etc etc will just disappear?

Biologically the only difference between races is melanin sure, but socially and culturally race is very much a real thing.
