People disagree on everything else. Why do you think it's possible to make everyone agree on one definition of racism?


If someone off at the extreme end of human opinions like me is willing to concede to something like this it would make more reasonable people seem foolish.

Whenever we hear stories like this, it's an example of "looking for any excuse to be offended", but making these utterly insignificant stories go viral is the same deal. Looking to be offended.

Some random person mistook a coal miner for blackface, this validates my siege mentality that white people can't swing a cat without getting accused of racism! Give me a break.

Never ever forget the context. They were coal miners who hadn't washed themselves yet. It was from coal, not chalk, so they should expect darkened faces.

Just another silly piece. Everybody sees what they want to see, then make a big deal about it.

You have to have replaced your brain with a DVD player containing a Shrek 3 DVD to not fucking realize that they are coal miners.

Seriously, has this man never opened a history book before? The chapter concerning the Industrial Revolution is LOADED with pictures of coal miners!

You'd think in a normal world that would have been the worst thing I've been called on NSG...
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

To get an actual definition of racism. People are likely going to need to concede a bunch of points.

Yes, context matters. Blackface? Racist. Coal Miners? Not inherently racist, however chances are good that the individuals in the photograph where in fact racist given the time and space they inhabited. The Bar? Probably often accommodates racists considering tribalism is an unfortunate product of our segmented development as a species. Context Always Matters, not just when it's Convenient.

There is a difference between News and Propaganda. Hindsight isn't quite 20/20. So try to be in the moment. For instance I might say the title of this thread is clickbait maybe dogwhistle, or I might say they're good marketing like the buzzwords I'm using. Ultimately my point remains the same. "We're all a little racist and it's on each of us as individuals to be less awful to each other. Failure will inevitably doom the species as a whole."
