As it’s been explained numerous times, because it’s historically been used as an insult to disparage blacks as lesser than. Regardless of what evolutionary theory says, calling blacks apes is used as a racist insult with a very specific and hateful reason.
Oh believe me, I don’t perpetuate racism. I’m not a racist. I call it when I see it. Now you are just jumping to conclusions. Purpngold is racist for valuing a black person over a white person simply because they are black, and perpetuating the division between people of different races
.
You clearly haven’t seen all of my posts. I do back off when someone corrects me. If it’s a troll, or multiple people, clearly trying to intimidate the other side, I will call it out. Because it’s funny that you have to resort to that.
Let me point out one example. You are a part of an ideology that supports a Marxist solution to the racism/sexism problem- giving people of color or the female gender positions over white males simply because of their gender or race.
And now you are ignoring racism. How hypocritical. The right thing to do would be to promote them on achievements, regardless of race or sex. But to do it because they are of the “oppressed” race, and have that be a factor, is racist, and facilitates racism from within by setting a precedent.
Actually you are right I do support that. For one, affirmative action isn’t the answer. AA actually benefits white females more that black males or females.
I am for a level playing field. White people started at the 75m line while black people were still in the locker room. I am for equalizing that gap as much as possible. AA isn’t the only answer, its not even a very good one now… however it is an important step.
I am not for simply giving black people a position over a white person that is completely unqualified. However if they are tied, I am all for giving it to the black person.
if I was in medical research and I had to research brain cancer over heart disease. Just because I want brain cancer to be promoted more, doesn’t mean I think heart disease is less important.
