Yea I really don’t understand how people on this platform don’t realize that racism is bad.

And I’m not in my teenage years anymore.

It’s crazy how you’re calling me right wing for saying I’m against racism.

This has to be one of the most ignorant comments I’ve ever seen online

You are not different by your skin color its human made. This idea is very outdated and not supported by any scientific research. There is one human race which is called Homo sapiens sapiens. Thinking someone is different because of their skin is human made and the definition of racism.

See its very paradox to say, we need to act racist because racism exists instead of trying to end it by the root. You can’t fight fire with fire, it’s as simple as that. And that’s not just my opinion. Wake up people

I’m saying people not acknowledging unequally treating people based on their looks is bad and even trying to justify it are the cause of racism since their argumentation is based on the fundamentals of its literal definition and thereby supporting it in an ongoing cycle.

Great to hear that there is someone sharing my views here!

Yea maybe there is indeed some misunderstanding going on. I’m not at all against acknowledging that there are minorities being treated unfairly cause that’s literally the thing I was doing and complaining about and was saying we need to stop treating people differently based on their ethnicity or looks since that’s the cause of these people being treated unfairly.

You can literally look up the definition on Google: [“1 : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race”

“also : behavior or attitudes that reflect and foster this belief : racial discrimination or prejudice”](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism)

You should start judging people by their face value and not by what other people say

Yes that’s what they say and not me. I’m saying we need to stop racism and not trying to justify it!

That’s literally not at all what I meant. My post itself was acknowledging it (this post as well) and I was saying we need to end it to put people in boxes and treat them in this toxic/inequal way based on their skin or ethnicity! I’m saying people are racist for being racist, not for acknowledging that racism exist (cause with that logic I would be racist myself for acknowledging that racism exist). It’s a simple logic no matter how much you try to twist my words.

Then better don’t look into the comments of my last post

No that’s the exact wrong thing to do! Instead of ignoring it or trying to justify racism we need to STOP it and start tackling it by the root problem. There is no problem with different cultures and people cause that is what makes us so special in my opinion. But to devalue or discriminate someone solely based on their skin and make such a big thing about it is just wrong in my opinion. If you guys don’t see this very simple logic then I’m lost for ideas

No matter how many excuses you will find to justify racism it’s just not morally acceptable. As long as we won’t stop making such a big thing out of what peoples skin color or ethnicity is we will never get rid of it.

The fact that people get discriminated and unfairly treated because they have dark or bright skin is a shame and it NEEDS to stop now instead of trying to justify why it is the case and keep on doing it.

I love multiculturalism because we people naturally have different cultures. But to obsessively base everything on skin color like you people on Lemmy is just weird and racist af!

Giving up on changing certainly also isn’t the solution. We always need to stay optimistic and try our best to better ourself

This reminds me of this interview of Elon Musk and Don Lemmon where I think Elon is hitting the nail on the head. And the irony being Elon is more African American than Don Lemon since Elon actually is African and Don just is American.

Here Morgan Freeman is saying the same thing.

True, many aspects about humans are really sad
