The way that you suggested one could "do everything ... to remove discrimination" was to adopt African-American children .

one way ^^ and it is the most achievable way for any person to exercise maximal control over the environment for another. it is the most efficient means of eradicating discrimination from an environment for another person. any other arrangement would require more resources for the same or more likely less return.

I strongly disagree that adopting other culture's children is a valid strategy to "better" that culture,

i never argued this ^^ i offered a way to eliminate discrimination for a person. That's it. im sure there are other ways.

how would you suggest an individual could single-handedly achieve the greatest reduction in discrimination for another individual in a free society?

i'll join you in discussing culture once we can put this concept to bed ^^

and as I pointed out historically that approach has never helped solve discrimination. In fact, quite to the contrary, it has a very ugly and racist history behind it.

hold on now ^^

1. you said we did those things to "end their problems (as savages)," not to end discrimination. there is a difference.

2. you were there (and still appear to be) arguing that:

a: abduction of children from families and attempts to "civilize" them

is the same as

b: adopting a child from an orphanage or foster home to provide a positive environment free of discrimination.


how is that the same? Do you think it is better to leave children in orphanages or rotating foster homes? I don't think you do, so what is your issue with adoption?

... but I do agree that, as long as you don't push failed racist policies as a way to combat racism, your larger point that people should speak less and do more is totally valid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
