You could be my equal, under the law, but I will be treated better than you because I have done more than you have.

I have proven myself, time and again, to put others interests before my own. This earns me leniency that you would not have.

It all depends on the situations. The reverse could be equally true, depending.

Of course, you know, 'unofficially'. I mean, not-enforced-by-law, right?

Total equality under the law is impossible. Literally impossible.

Well, maybe not. You could make it possible, but you'd have to radically redefine EVERYTHING to the point that we wouldn't recognize life at that point.

Humanity wouldn't be "human" anymore.

Actually Iraq or Turkey is where we are all from. The Euphrates and Tigres Rivers are not in Africa unless I was taught wrong in world history class.

This is a very good question, and the best way to answer it is that you should first figure out all you can about the rascist, for example...if the rascist in question is from a southern state in the US and they were noted as being a bit of a social parriah and hedonist.

Well, in this example the proper namesake for this offensive person is "inbred bastardized hill billy pig fucker".

Well, I think you should not be upset since you are not the one looks like a jerk it is the person who called you so. You should call the police and charge the person for harasting.

No, Mesopatamia is the "cradle of CIVILIZATION", not humanity.

Seriously. You're only allowed to reclaim slurs if they were used against you in the first place.

It's not racist when it's not used in a racist way.

Conceeded.

The F?

Formal equality and substantive equality are very different things.

As a wise man once said: "There is no greater injustice than the equal treatment of inequals."

No, that would be Europe because european civilisation was the only proper civilisation in history of humanity. All before that was primitive.

No, it wasnt. It is just that Indus Valley isnt important for human history. The Renaissance and the age of the colonisation of the New World are the most important events.

So by this metric, Rome was not a proper civilization?

Sure it was. That is why Europe was/is great. It is not as the 15th century events but still.

It is just the facts. I cannot go against logic.

It had good chances but at the end it became a shithole.

The only !proper! civilizations developed during the (non-12th century) European renaissance.

>Oh, no, they count-- definitely count as a proper civilization. Yup.

I respond with approval. I'm not racist, but I certainly don't begrudge an idiot for being an idiot. I've no issue with the bigoted being bigots. they're merely making it easier for me to take my business elsewhere by identifying them easier.

For me it is a fear of a reduction in status with the privilege instead going to the new majority. Rather than staying where I'd be vulnerable, I want to always be in a location where I'm in the majority or at least almost so.
