fighting racism while being inherently racist,,,,


profound

Are you identifying with it?

Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage,the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.

Racism claims that the content of a man's mind (not his cognitive apparatus, but its content) is inherited; that a man's convictions, values and character are determined before he is born, by physical factors beyond his control. This is the caveman's version of the doctrine of innate ideas or of inherited knowledge which has been thoroughly refuted by philosophy and science. Racism is a doctrine of, by and for brutes. It is a barnyard or stock-farm version of collectivism, appropriate to a mentality that differentiates between various breeds of animals, but not between animals and men.

Like every form of determinism, racism invalidates the specific attribute which distinguishes man from all other living species: his rational faculty. Racism negates two aspects of man's life: reason and choice, or mind and morality, replacing them with chemical predestination.



Racism
The Virtue of Selfishness,


A genius is a genius, regardless of the number of morons who belong to the same race,and a moron is a moron, regardless of the number of geniuses who share his racial origin.

The Virtue of Selfishness

Racism


Like every other form of collectivism, racism is a quest for the unearned. It is a quest for automatic knowledge for an automatic evaluation of men's characters that bypasses the responsibility of exercising rational or moral judgment,and, above all, a quest for an automatic self-esteem (or pseudo-self-esteem).

Racism


Today, racism is regarded as a crime if practiced by a majority,but as an inalienable right if practiced by a minority. The notion that one's culture is superior to all others solely because it represents the traditions of one's ancestors, is regarded as chauvinism if claimed by a majority,but as ethnic pride if claimed by a minority. Resistance to change and progress is regarded as reactionary if demonstrated by a majority,but retrogression to a Balkan village, to an Indian tepee or to the jungle is hailed if demonstrated by a minority.

If one is taught to look at everything through a lens of race, then it is not surprising that one would see everyone as being racist, because that is what one sees while looking through a lens of race.

if a preference for people is based in race, it is by definition 'racist'

'fighting' racism and writing a book about it without being labelled a "racist" or misunderstood isnt easy.But the truth must be told.One could even detect racism already in some of the responses.But its not surprising.Those different views guide against lopsidedness.Many thanks to ya all

Leigh,i want to add another book to the ones gathering dust in the shelves.I know you encourage good work wherever.True of false?

Good as in original or good as in repetitive??

Whether original or repetitive as long as it exercises or tasks the brain to more knowledge and 'kill' boredom.Also for posterity and straight records!
