We went from someone claiming something is not racist because they understand the reasoning behind it to other examples of racist things done and defended by followers due to ‘understandable reasoning’.
It’s the typical hypocritical "I can offend you and personally attack you, but if you call me out on illogical views and I don’t like it then I’m the victim:
Worst thing than being saying that is he will probably feel like he ‘won’ because I’m not bothered continuing a conversation with an illogical idiot.
If a white family did that it would be racist= “That’s a hypothetical, you can’t compare to reality”
Provided article of a white child being called racist for not like a black doll= “Different situations that does not count”
States it’s not racist because he understands the reasoning and provided examples of other racist things who’s followers understood the reasoning of= “Apple’s and oranges”
You obviously did not understand what I was saying.
When I said understandable, I meant that I could see as to why the parents would do something like that. It doesn’t make the action right, but I can understand the reasonings.
Confused here you don’t think the action is right but think the parents are doing a great thing?
It was to show outrage when a white child does something regarding a black doll, which is similar to what the parents in the article want to do (throw it away)
Then respectfully what the fuck are we disagreeing about?
Depends on the context. I am white, but I have a black friend that has called me that before, but not in a negative way. I am cool with it if used like that. In a way, it was kinda inclusive the way he used it.
I think context matters a lot though. I have an Australian friend that uses the word cunt a lot. Like “your a good cunt”. Doesn’t bother me. I have mentioned to him before that he needs to be careful with that one around American women, as they might not appreciate the word even if it is not used as an insult.
It is give and take. I saw him the other day with what looked to be close to an ancient Norse hairstyle. So I guess I can be called the N word and he can copy my ancestor’s hairstyles.
I’m trying to imagine what Norse hairstyle a black guy could have. I guess I never thought of Vikings as having “hairstyles,” plural. Normally it’s just a long mane in movies.
Dreads and cornrows (or something very similar to cornrows) were worn by the vikings. It is called cultural appropriation for white people to wear them because it is seen as a black hairstyle. The people who make these claims ignore the other cultures that have worn them in the past.
I think basically every group of people at one point wore dreads. It is kinda what happens if you don’t bathe much. I have had a natural dread form in my hair while on a camping trip.
