Critical Race Theory Question

@thinkingman

that’s your feeling. not evidence

Should I have been discriminated against due to my hairstyle? Yes or no?

[JayJay]

Gonna need more than that, please.

Given this is such a sore subject that causes such consternation, one would think “white culture” would be so easy to define.

What is “white culture”? What are you fearing will be “lost”?

@PurpnGold

@thinkingman

this is the first time you said “criminal justice sys” in answering me

i disagree. so do the stats. nothing goes on there that is “oppression”

The stat disagree… oh do tell. So me…

Do you agree with this definition for oppression

“Prolonged unjust treatment”?

in some circumstances sure

you have been using the word and making the case for it

still havent explained adequately though how by whom etc

some hairstyles may not be appr for everything

UPS drivers until recently maybe i believe weren’t allowed to have crazy long hair or beards

Ask the woke gang. It’s their baby.

Can we agree on that definition? Yes or no? If no, please provide your definition

My hairstyle was not a safety issue. That’s literally the only reason hairstyle should be discriminated against

It’s a yes or no answer. Using the variables in my personal scenario, was hair discrimination appropriate?

whether i agree or not with how you define it is not impt. you’re trying to confine the discussion for your benefit likely

again. you have been using the word so it evidently already is defined by you in some sense

explain how, and we’ll go from there

Is it your goal to identify and eliminate racism everywhere?

Should the intolerant be tolerated?

where did i say it was a safety issue??

no that is not the only reason

i see what you do here. you just go around and around never addressing fully what youve been asked even tho it is about your central argument

common tactic

No it’s “your baby” since you fear “white culture being done away with”.

Don’t you think you should be able to describe what you fear losing before you fear losing it?

@thinkingman

You don’t have to agree with my definition. I asked that if you didn’t agree to provide your own. Maybe I will agree with yours.

However if we cannot agree on the definition of oppression then there is no point debating what is or isn’t oppression.

[PurpnGold]

@thinkingman

where did i say it was a safety issue??

I never said you did.

I gave you one scenario where hair discrimination is appropriate. For safety concerns.

@thinkingman

i see what you do here. you just go around and around never addressing fully what youve been asked even tho it is about your central argument

common tactic

Given my scenario… was hair discrimination appropriate? Yes or no? Why won’t you answer the question.

youve been using the word throughout the thread.

you cant define what you thought it meant?

if we cant agree on what a word that you used reputedly means, we cant discuss what you meant by it?? man…,

now i didnt go to law school, but that sounds like a copout

what a waste of time

Nice. Straight up Marcuse.

[Guntsu]

Should I tolerate a racists?

Do racists not seek hegemony?

[WuWei]

@PurpnGold

Do you agree with this definition for oppression

“Prolonged unjust treatment”?

No.

[PurpnGold]

@thinkingman

youve been using the word throughout the thread.

you cant define what you thought it meant?

For the third time. I’ve already defined it.

“Prolonged unjust treatment”

That’s the definition I accept. Remember it for every time you see me use the term.

Do you accept that definition? IF NOT, provide a definition that you accept. I might actually agree with you

@thinkingman

if we cant agree on what a word that you used reputedly means, we cant discuss what you meant by it?? man…,

That is correct. It is possible we disagree on what specific examples provided are considered “oppression”. I think that disagreement may start with differing definitions of what “oppression” means. So I am attempting to solidify the foundation of our discussion by seeing if we can agree on the definition.

If we cannot agree on the definition, then we should you and I should stop talking about it.

That’s up to you. In your space

No.

What is your definition. I might agree with yours.
