    I don't know,I'm still trying to determine who is white and who is nonwhite. But compared to the numbers of "native americans" and "Africans" that have perished as a result of racism white Supremacy in the last several hundred years,I'm not sure if makes the "honorable mentions" list.

    What other definitions do you use? I will be very surprised if they are not equally vague.

    I think the concept of white person is vague for everyone who uses it -- no matter how they choose to define it.

    Not vague to me, but to each his own.

    Thankyou for your responses Monny.
    The definition you give of water is vague. Does the stuff that comes out of your taps meet the definition you gave? What about the stuff in swimming pools? In the sea? The steam that comes off a pan of boiling water? What about the stuff in a cup of tea? What about the stuff in your local reservoir? What if it had been contaminated with tea so that it had exactly the same chemical composition as a cup of tea? I suspect the honest answer -- to take rhetorical ploy you seem to favour -- is: it depends. Though the "dishonest" answer will commit you to amusing behaviour in restaurants.

    I suspect the racist white supremacist want nonwhtes to embrace confusion because it keeps them from focusing on racism white supremacy.

    Now I have said , that I could be incorrect. However nothing presented here
    has led me to believe so.

    Actually no one here besides 206 Refugee actually affirmed any belief that we live in a world dominated by racism white supremacy. The strongest statement I believe was something like "There is racism....but it's complex"



    No white people here- of the few that even admitted they were white- have explained what being white means.

    Instead we have several of the nonwhites here attempting to shout me down for even asking the questions while the white people here either sit back and observe, ridicule/lob insults, and generally refuse to even "go there".

    That is what I have observed.


    But the behavior from the people here is something that I have learned a great deal from.....

    So....

    If you believe problem solving includes talking about the "complexity" of the issue (while doing nothing) instead of using logic that is your belief.



    If you don't believe we live under a world dominated by racism white supremacy, that is your belief.


    If you don't believe race was a concept created by white men to enforce RACISM, that is your belief.

    If you believe that 1+1 does not =2 that is your belief.

    If you believe racsim whitesupremacy is a symptom of "class" that is your belief.

    If you believe racsim whitesupremacy is due to "ignorance" that is your belief.

    If you believe talking about racism white supremacy in a way that makes white people feel "comfortable" is the best way to go that is your belief.


    If you believe that a non white's suspicion of an admitted racist white supremacists is racist that is your belief.

    If you believe that a non white's refusal to give all white people that they believe are able to practice racism white supremacy, the benefit of the doubt is racist , that is your belief.
    Very good escape, "This is your belief".

    I can't see where you're comin from, but I see where you're going: You're cutting the world in pieces and you are totally out of some conceptions of this world.

    Don't you see that suspecting people is just wrong? Logic implies no judgment whatsoever be the subject.

    By judging (or suspecting) people, you put the subjects that matters to you in a shape. If you're corrupting the subject from the start, your logic process is distorted.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but to me you're always against what doesn't fit your views (some will say "your agenda"), at least concerning racist white suremacy.
    That isn't going to help you learn, people will close their minds to your attempts to understand anything new.

    Maybe there's no whites here who practice RWS, so their insight may not be usefull to you.

    Do you consider that?

    + some people don't care about giving a definition of who is white and who's not.

    It doesn't help them or matter in their lives.

    I wasn't asking about "honorable mentions".

    One thing I'll grant: on either definition I gave you, the concept of white person is so vague as to be pretty much useless -- particularly the second, which I think is the one most people (regardless of race) operate with.

    I should add: insofar as anyone operates with a definition of "white person", which I suspect doesn't amount to many.

    It's a definition based on function under the system of racism white supremacy:



    A white person is someone who:


    (1) Classifies themselves as white and have been classified as white.
    (2) Accepted as white by other people classified as white.
    (3) Functions as white in all places and at all times.

    Now as far as the specifics, I'm not qualified to answer that. Only a white person can say exactly what it takes to be classified white, what it takes to be accepted as white, and what it takes to function as white. Why ? Because white people thought up the concept.


    I think the concept of white person is vague for everyone who uses it -- no matter how they choose to define it.
    Do you think it's vague when taking out a loan, getting a job, shopping in an upscale store, moving into a white neighborhood, or finding a mate?

    Do you think it's vague when running for President? Was it always this vague? Was it more vague 40 years ago? How about 150 years ago?


    The definition you give of water is vague. Does the stuff that comes out of your taps meet the definition you gave? What about the stuff in swimming pools? In the sea?

    No ploys just giving my opinion Monny. With regards to the definition that I found, it works for me and I do not consider it vague. I hope that answers your question.

    Yes.

    As for your own definition - thanks. I've been asking for that for several pages. I'm not sure why you think it isn't vague. And I've already mentioned that I'm sceptical about the idea of there being any such thing as functioning as white.

    How does it work for you? Do you file a complaint when the stuff that comes out of your tap isn't water? Or is it water? Or is it not water, but, well, it's close enough? (Close enough for what? For people to know what you mean?)

    Notice how the H2O purist gets evasive and refuses to answer simple questions.

    I can't see where you're comin from,
    Oh really, where's that?


    but I see where you're going: You're cutting the world in pieces and you are totally out of some conceptions of this world.
    How so Crackhouse?


    Don't you see that suspecting people is just wrong? Logic implies no judgment whatsoever be the subject.
    Suspecting is not the same as accusing someone. If you lock your doors at night are you accusing EVERYONE of being a criminal? Or are you PROTECTING yourself against the criminal that are out there?

    By judging (or suspecting) people, you put the subjects that matters to you in a shape. If you're corrupting the subject from the start, your logic process is distorted.
    See above

    That isn't going to help you learn, people will close their minds to your attempts to understand
    You haven't presented anything that has caused me to change my beliefs. You sarcasm hasn't done it, neither have your goofy pictures.

    Maybe there's no whites here who practice RWS, so their insight may not be usefull to you.

    Do you consider that?
    Surely. That is a possibility. Now lets look t other side of the coin.

    Maybe all whites here practice Racism White Supremacy. Also a possibility.

    Or maybe some whites here practice Racism White Supremacy. Also a possibility.

    Now answer this question Crackhouse.

    HOW can I tell?

    In any dealings with a white person HOW CAN I TELL if they practice racism white supremacy?

    DO you believe that all racists white supremacist broadcast that type information out to the Save the Nigga Help Line Network?

    Do you think that perhaps some are on the hush hush about practicing racism white supremacy? Maybe they could be using some deception here or there?Do Burglars go around to homeowners and hand out their Burglar ID cards? Get my point?!

    So as a precaution I carry suspicion that any of the white people here could be racist white supremacists. That doesn't mean that they are and it doesn't mean that they are not. Only that they could be.

    How will I know if a white person is NOT racist? When there is no more racism white supremacy. Until then, I have a lot of work to do.

    When it comes to water I don't do anything I'm clear as to what water is. I'm not 100% clear on what is means to be white under a system of R.W.S. and according to what you say neither are you....

    Good job. You now have an example of what being White can mean.

    Keep in mind, anyone here could suspect anyone of being anything, so this is getting kind of pointless, no?

    Like, I could suspect that you masturbate thinking about the ugliest of racist White women, and men. I could suspect that you have a speech impediment. I could go on & on like yourself in this thread, but why bother really?

    Well no, that is faulty logic. For example how can my having a speech impediment harm you?

    But to be suspicious of things that could harm you is logical.

    Do you drive? If so , When you drive do you assume everyone is a good driver or do you drive defensively?


    When you engage in intercourse do you use protection?


    DO you have kids? When you send them to school do you tell them it's ok to talk to strangers?

    Do you lock your doors?


    AMC do you think a racist white supremacist could be harmful to a non white person?
