MyTie, I had missed your post, and I'd personally be interested in a racism debate.
Would you like to discuss the merits of racism with Laihendi?

Depends on if its Soul-merits or not.

I'm glad to see there is some interest in it. I feel it is a big topic in present day society, and worthy of a long discussion.

Merits wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but hey, I suppose.
So what are your favorite things about racism?

I don't think racism is worthy of being discussed. I think it's sad that it even has to be discussed.

What, do you think it's not a big deal or something? Have you ever been out in the real world?

It is a negative ideal, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed. Racism isn't necessarily a BAD thing. Discrimination is, but racism itself isn't. For instance, if I were to say that an african-american is more likely to develop glaucoma than any other race, that would be a racist statement, since it is oriented to one race. The statement isn't false, or bad, it's just a neutral racist statement.
This is why I feel this needs to be discussed. I think a lot of people don't actually know what racism is, and call some things racism that AREN'T, and they themselves make statements that ARE racist, but aren't necessarily bad.
Well... I feel it is a worthy topic.

Did I say that it's not a big deal? Usually when someone says that something "has" to be done, they mean just that.
That doesn't make it any more worthy of a topic.
Racism isn't necessarily a BAD thing.
You must be defining racism differently than me.
Racism: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
Racism: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
Yes, I beleive that is very "BAD."
This is why I feel this needs to be discussed.
...it
has
to be discussed.
I agreed with you already.

Well, if you feel that certain people are stupid because they belong to a race of people, then you are racist for distinguishing them from another race, which isn't bad, but you are distinguishing individuals as 'stupid' because of that racist conclusion. This makes you discriminate based on race, which I feel is wrong.
But you never said you thought they were stupid because of their race, so I really don't have much to go on and am just speculating.

You prove to everyone here time and again why you cannot be taken seriously. Someday, when you grow up, come back and have a constructive conversation.

No, I thought they were stupid because they kept calling me gay.
And I am straight. Bugged the heck out of me. So I replied
Idiot, I am dating a girl right now and always will, I'm not gay.
Oh my F--- racist!

Based on this definition of racism, I agree that it is a bad thing. Perhaps I was working with a flawed definition, but the theory still stands.

Sounds like it really has nothing to do with race.
