Sure but now we've moved to vitriolic racist abuse which is far end of the scale.
When ppl speak of racism, its anything from 'microaggressions' to wanting to deny ppl rights.
and some people refuse to believe racism of any kind exists, except against whites.
Yes. These people are unambiguously wrong & easy to refute.
but not change their minds. Believe me, I've tried. Their response is media bias, "I've never seen that," or what about this?
There are dogmatic ideologues impervious to reason & evidence of both sides but most people are not this immovable.
then I must be really unlucky and got a bunch of them. I don't think so, though. Sometimes what they're wrong about is so basic
I also talk to extremists a lot. Its bewildering how blinded some people can be. But you can so often find a way in.
vitriolic racist abuse is at the nice end of the scale. Compared to effects of racism at work, say.
I'm not responding any further. Discussion has failed & there is no point flogging a dead horse. I'll move on & talk to some1 else
I merely pointed out that your ideas of what racism is didn't map onto how I've seen racism play out.
No, you just deflect & jump to extremes & oppositions & don't address what I'm actually saying. Please can we leave it here?
I don't see pointing out that Feegusson's made a pretty penny advocating colonialism is really jumping to extremes.
Neither is it the point! Its like saying 'Racism didn't stop Obama being elected, did it?" Trite & superficial denial of a problem.
To have a conversation, you need to try to understand what I am saying & respond to that.
I responded to what you said, but you didnt want to hear.
