By simply also believing that overcoming our most basic primal instincts is the very thing that makes us human.

Yeah until you need to use it as a cop out for being a bigot.

It's not a cop-out, it's an ugly truth that we now have to deal with. Caucasians are an oppressive, racist people. We came into existence just as naturally as any other race of people did, as did our racism and our oppressiveness.

Not that I'm stupid enough to even suggest arguing that it has any bearing on racism in modern society but technically from an evolutionary standpoint, it is natural to favor members of your own group over others. Call it a vestigial universal societal tendency.

So what you're saying is that its not really your fault if you're a white racist. Its natural.

That's great, how does this stop the unreasonable people? (Mainstream media/rioters/Social Justice Warriors)

They go 2-pac style & get shot.

No, you've misunderstood me.

LOL

Yeah, sweden, denmark, and finland, by your reasoning, are the most racist and oppressive on earth. Your logic is ass backwards. I'd rather live anywhere in Europe than anywhere in Africa, and that includes Ukraine.

I suppose I'll elaborate - people need to be held accountable. Nowhere did I say people should never be held to account, or should never be at fault.

I am saying Darren Wilson is human. I am saying Jeffrey Dahmer was human, as despicable and unforgivable as his crimes were. The first step in dealing with this problem is to stop dehumanizing people, whether that person is a person of color or a white man or a neo-Nazi or a sociopathic serial killer/rapist/cannibal.

They were born to a mother and are subject to the very same workings of biology that all of us are. This doesn't mean people should never be locked up, or never be blamed, or never be held accountable for their actions or crimes.

When I say caucasians are an oppressive, racist people, I'm just stating a fact. It would be ahistorical to say otherwise. I plainly called it an ugly truth that we now have to - and are - dealing with. I didn't say it's a lovely little anecdote that we can now forgive all the crimes of all murderous white men everywhere. It's a disgusting result of our past that we must first accept if we're ever going to be able to change it.

Nowhere did I say "the most racist and oppressive on Earth."
