Not recognizing racism IS racism.

definitions out of context don't really mean anything at all. a word is a tool, not an end in itself.

Refusing to "see race," or the willful ignorance necessary to think that society is "post racial," or refusing to acknowledge that racism exists in all of our lives to a certain extent is in fact racism, as per D.Tutu's axiom that remaining neutral in situations of oppression is tantamount to taking the side of the oppressor. One cannot remain neutral in this case, it is - if you will pardon the expression - black and white.

Nobody here once claimed that this society is "post racial". However what we do recognize is the great steps forward that have been achieved, steps which you willfully ignore. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Ok, if it's possible to make a funny joke about racism, that was it. I lulled.

But racism is no joke. And it exists. And it exists because we have light years yet to evolve.

Whatever you think, please eq friends, try to be on the side of evolving toward a better world. Real people are real. They suffer, they starve, they hurt, they fall apart if you press them too hard.

The hierarchy is very strict at McDonalds, there are only so many assistant manager positions available.
