Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

[davek]

Why is race in quotes?

Her race is likely to be an issue. Just like her gender

Because there's only one race: the human race.

Excuse me? What races do you believe in?

It's specious pseudo-science that categories people into 'races'.

To be anti-racist is to deny the space for viewing people as an inferior or superior 'race'.

Race as a category is a product of capitalist social relations - it wasn't a category prior to this epoch.

More Putin and Trump, and Biden doesn't like Netanyahu.

You really are insufferable

Talking about epochs and the like

I mean come on man. In the world we live in today, unfortunately it matters to some people

Why you continue to insist on these pedantic talking points is beyond my comprehension

Your response actually defends the concept of racism - because you acknowledge what racists want you to believe: that there are such subdivisions along scientific lines amongst humanity when they're no more than variation.

There's one 'race' - the human race. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool or someone looking to divide people.

Sounds lovely if we lived in a moment where that was the belief since the beginning of time, and would be lovely in some peaceful future

However a long time has passed with part of the human race being disproportionately exploited and abused so the racism your “fools” are discussing is a lot more complex than the simple premise you are pompously proposing whilst putting down the people you are discussing with.

Harris/Biden are going to be blamed for damage arising from Hurricane Milton.

I'm not putting down anyone. I'm saying racism is an ideology and therefore socially constructed; it's not a natural scientific phenomenon. Skin pigmentation and physiognomy have been chosen as markers to distinguish and subjugate. It's a fairy story to justify colonialism and then imperialism.

Americans are potty-trained to view things through the prism of 'race' - just as we in this country are, but to a much lesser degree - that's why it'll be an issue on Nov 5th. There's no pomposity in pointing that out; the vast majority of Americans would agree that it will be an issue, and many will also recognise how bogus the notion of 'race' is too.

I can foresee Trump claiming that hurricanes were too scared to hit under his watch. That or MTG claiming the Democrats made the hurricane
