The End of the White Race

Postby The Parkus Empire » Mon Sep 30, 2013 6:17 am

As far as the social existence of the construct known as "white", do you believe it should be preserved in any way other than as an historical curiosity? Personally I'd very much like to see it disappear entirely.

I'd say the effects of racism need to be eliminated before the constructs themselves can be.

It's a long way off.

Probably. Although I thing the issue of people preserve "white culture" or "the white people" is a big problem.

No doubt but i'm not sure how you're going to eliminate that without also fucking over any hope of rebalancing the way the world currently works.

All other races pretty much stem from the concept of a "white" race tho. But yes, I completely agree.

Given that "white culture" has been raised i'd add that I don't know of any significant uniting factor that would justify assigning whites a culture and therefore I don't support it. The elimination of other cultures with a goal of homogenising humanity isn't something i'm so keen on.

I don't know about eliminating cultures (except the negative aspects of culture), but I do think basing cultures on "race" is a practice that should stop.

I think the idea of white is destructive to US society. it allows the rich to manipulate the lower classes through racism. we (whites) get distracted from who is really screwing us by believing that it is the black guy or the brown guy who is taking all the jobs and leaving us penniless when it is really the "bain" class who is sending jobs elsewhere and leaving the rest of us to fight over the scraps.
whatever

Exactly the problem in my country, where people of all skin colours share a same ethnicity, a more or less homogeneous genetic basis within a continuum of mulatto-white(ish) with lots of Amerindian on all groups, and cultures varies much more regionally and on social class basis than it does on race.

Ouright denying race - only when it is convenient - perpetuates the impoverishment of people of color who don't represent the face of capitalism and of the people of the country we would see as "victorious". People are still discriminated on the basis of phenotype and there is a thing against poor people here that is not as prevalent on most of the world - namely, there is discrimination against people who "look poor".

For race-related problems to end, we would need this form of capitalism to vanish together, and with it problems associated to ranking people in regards to weight, height, attractiveness and other factors.

Why only the white race ? Just attacking the white race sounds disgustingly racist to me ?

He mentions only one race: the white race. How about the other races ?

Africans and South Americans still judge each other by their skin tone, favoring the lighter ones. It would be a good thing to see these gone too.

Well the concept of other races revolves around the idea of a "white" race. Furthermore I'm not "attacking" white people as a demographic, just the idea of "white people".
