By those standards, you can only determine racism if you can read someone's mind.The problem with that question for me is that it is missing necessary context. We don't do things for no reason and so I would wonder why is that white person getting preferential treatment. It brings me to my larger point which is that clearly racism isn't just an act but also the motivations behind the act. For instance the act of denying a black person a job isn't inherently racist but if you deny a black person a job because you think they are inherently inferior then that is racist, so clearly motive and not the act in and of itself is the determining factor.
Now let's look at Bidens pick. Is the full context of his choice that he decided to nominate a black woman because she is black, full stop? Or because she is black and black women have been historically kept from serving on the Court? If you can't be honest about the full context of the choice then you can't make an honest assessment of whether or not said act was racist.
When did I say that?You believe it's impossible for a black woman to be qualified.
It use to be called the good ole days.....Is giving white people preferential treatment, because they're white, racism?
Call out the racists... and they come a'runnin' like they heard the dinner bell....
You believe blacks are inferior and need a little boost to keep upYou believe it's impossible for a black woman to be qualified.
Ketanji Brown Jackson did meet and surpass those standards and white racists without college degrees of their own still question her qualifications.we dont believe blacks are genetically inferior
but they should be required to reach the same standards as everyone else
King was mistakenIt use to be called the good ole days.....
Are you pretending to be outraged by the idea of this now??
I will quote MLK again....because I like to watch you folks pretend to admire a guy you clearly hated then and hate now...but since he won and you lost, you have to pretend to admire him....

Seems as tho he is saying, the hundreds and hundreds of years of white folks getting special treatment at the expense and often times brutalized oppression of others calls for some policies to rectify that.....
He then went on to accurately describe that white backlash that is sure to come from folks like you....

Now wonder the Conservatives of his day hated him and celebrated his murder
You can chant that a thousand times and it still wont be trueNope....not at all. You believe it's impossible for a black woman to be qualified.
Does that mean that the society that does something special FOR the negro, now can do something special AGAINST the negro? Does it work in reverse?It use to be called the good ole days.....

He believes being an accomplished attorney, a 3 times Senate confirmed federal judge isn't cutting the mustard...You believe it's impossible for a black woman to be qualified.
Sure, if you can rally society to do something against black folks, and get that codified in law -- you are more than welcome to campaign on that...Does that mean that the society that does something special FOR the negro, now can do something special AGAINST the negro? Does it work in reverse?
The tendency for backlash is because NOBODY GAVE ME ANY SPECIAL TREATMENT. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK HOW YOU NEGROS TRY TO JUSTIFY IT!!!!!!!!
If she feels the need to hide her entrance exams and has constantly been overturned---I think it is safe to say that the bitch ain't qualified.You believe it's impossible for a black woman to be qualified.
Thanks man... keep voting DYour thoughts and prayers have been recorded and forwarded to the proper authorities.
I don't recall her hiding any of that -- nor do I recall anyone before her being asked to show any of thatIf she feels the need to hide her entrance exams and has constantly been overturned---I think it is safe to say that the bitch ain't qualified.
That's like arguing we can only determin guilt when people confess.By those standards, you can only determine racism if you can read someone's mind.
Then you missed my lesson on motive vs act. You want to argue that racism is an act without motive but it is not. Your scenario only includes one portion, an act. A white person is getting preferential treatment. Until we know the motive, until we know why, we can't say if it's for racism or something else. Maybe his white skin is simply coincidental and not the reason for his preferential treatment.I would contend that it is racism to give either preferential or non-preferential treatment to a person based on their race.
The former is positive racism, the latter, negative.
That's just my opinion.
Not by me. Are you going to dodge the question?It use to be called the good ole days.....
I'm neither outraged nor pretending to be so.Are you pretending to be outraged by the idea of this now??
His quote on being judged by the content of one's character over one's skin color was his masterpiece, imho.I will quote MLK again....because I like to watch you folks pretend to admire a guy you clearly hated then and hate now...but since he won and you lost, you have to pretend to admire him....
