We need to have an honest discussion about race in America

[Shadow Wolf]

And some think the views of gays, trans, democrate, republican, male, female, poor, homeless, etc deserve no respect. Its all about point of view.

If views aren't causing harm there's no problem. If views are hateful, discriminatory, and calling for violence it doesn't deserve respect.
And you bring those up to counter a point of a more extreme example of views that deserve no respect. Interesting.

Here's the thing and reality.....

So you've never read a book and learned anything? Its actually a great way to learn. Most schools and colleges promote/recommend it.

Again; I don't come here for advise on which books to read

 

[Kfox]

Some views are not worth respect. The Klan, for example, their views deserve no respect.

Then don't seek to have a discussion with the Klan.

A suggestion was made. You can take it or leave it. Just don't take it wrong.

So answering you with a different understanding and view of what human race is, make my comment "has nothing to do with the subject at hand" ?

Your understanding of race is not different, everybody agrees with it! We are just talking about one of the other terms for race.

What is "race" to you? Be specific.

 

[Kfox]

Ok. What is your subject at hand again.
.

The subject was about Racial differences.

 

[Kfox]

Because the third category is a facade. False. Fake.

Only exists because of politics.

The term is used for descriptions as well.

You speak of cultural difference not race difference

I would argue the paradox of tolerance in this instance then.

Descriptors from a political slant sure. But the descriptions have no merit.

No; a black man from Nigeria, Kenya, and Jamaica are of the same race with different cultures.

Who decided it has no merit?

What is "race" to you? Be specific.

Physical traits regarded as common among people of shared ancestry.

Respecting views and allowing them are two different things. If a Klansman starts going on a white supremacist garbage, yeah, he can say it. No one is obligated to respect it.

 

[Spirit of Light]

No; a black man from Nigeria, Kenya, and Jamaica are of the same race with different cultures.

A black man from Nigeria, Kenya or Jamaica is stil one thing...Human being.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Then don't seek to have a discussion with the Klan.

Do I? Did I say I did? I was pointing out an example. Extremist ideology in general doesn't deserve respect.

A German Shephard and a Doberman share many physical traits and ancestry yet they are classified as different breeds.

Modern science, biology, genetics, and evolutionary science.
