[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] One reason crying racism has lost the power to make people cringe at the label is because of its inappropriate use for lesser evils. If one does not effect another's physical financial educational etc being due to race then that one is not a racist. Someone who expresses race based ideas is just a racialist not a racist. Those of us who actually took part in any struggle against racism know this. Racism is a term designating behaviour. Racialism is a term reserved for doctrines. Racism is physical enforcement. Racialism is theoretical and ideological. This ideology originated in Western Europe in the mid eighteenth-century and extended to about the mid-twentieth. [b] Tzvetan Todorov[/b][i] Race and Racism[/i] in[b] Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffths & Helen Tiffin[/b] (eds.)[i] The Postcolonial Studies Reader, 2nd ed. [/i] Oxford: Routledge, 2006 pp. 213-215 Apparently having never undergone assualt, overt or subtle, Henu doesn't know a racialist insult when (s)he reads one. This attitude is epitomized by the anecdote where the American black man is handed a watermelon by his white "colleagues" and thanks them for it but later becomes quite irate toward his black "colleagues" upon discovering they smashed the watermelon. Pity the fool who lacks the understanding to even recognize (s)he's been insulted. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Henu: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] Delete the entire series of comments starting with the one that sparked it all that is unless your design is to tittilate lurkers and new comers by leaving racialist flame bating intact for posterity. [/qb][/QUOTE]Posting racialist (not racist) comments is fine, so long as it's not instigating; the original comment (about tigers, etc.) was obviously completely wrong, but not flaming.
