I'm not citing anyone
Once again, I have to be someone else to you (in this case a "racist" brown Tory )

I was referring to you making an exhibit of yourself as usual.Thanks...
I don't ever recall you not being anti-whiteFuck knows what you even mean by that.
I guess though you must be referring to Noel Ignatiev's insights, that he especially wrote about in his book 'How the Irish became White'.
About how under the English we ourselves were considered less than "white", less than human, and only became accepted as white when we supported slavery and violence against black people in the US and thereby achieved better jobs at higher wages and were finally accepted as full citizens in what was still a juridically white republic.
So that whiteness becomes this ideological, psychological, social and political construct. Where 'whiteness' emerged directly and almost exclusively through its connection to imperialism/colonialism, slavery, genocide and modern-day racism.
And that our participating in the humiliation and extermination of black people is the most enduring identifying marker of whiteness. And therefore you can never rip the racism out of whiteness, as it is the very core of whiteness.
Thus the only way to abolish racism is to abolish whiteness.
Hmm. Well truth is Jambo, I hadn't thought much about it before. But the more I listen to you, the more rational and right it sounds, the more I am drawn to it. So I might just be an "anti-white" in those terms after all. But certainly I wasn't before I started listening to you.
Ignatiev always insisted that he didn't hate white people. Here is what his actual position was:You hate white people
Firstly, Ignatiev was a race denier. Anyone who calls race a "social construct" is a race denier.Ignatiev always insisted that he didn't hate white people. Here is what his actual position was:
"... We do not hate you or anyone else for the color of her skin. What we hate is a system that confers privileges (and burdens) on people because of their color. It is not fair skin that makes people white; it is fair skin in a certain kind of society, one that attaches social importance to skin color. When we say we want to abolish the white race, we do not mean we want to exterminate people with fair skin. We mean that we want to do away with the social meaning of skin color, thereby abolishing the white race as a social category. Consider this parallel: To be against royalty does not mean wanting to kill the king. It means wanting to do away with crowns, thrones, titles, and the privileges attached to them. In our view, whiteness has a lot in common with royalty: they are both social formations that carry unearned advantages..."
By the exact same logic you would say that a kid who believes Santa is real is therefore a "santa realist".A race realist is someone who believes that race is real
No he was a race realist, as I explained above. You're the race denier, in truth.Ignatiev was undeniably a race denier.
I showed above that he didn't, rather he hated the system of privilege implicit in white race as a social category.Who hated white people.
Your "currently accepted science" is race denialismBy the exact same logic you would say that a kid who believes Santa is real is therefore a "santa realist".
Neither race or santa have ever been satisfactorily evidenced by currently accepted science.
Nope, he was a race denier.No he was a race realist, as I explained above.
You can reframe his anti-white hatred any way you like..I showed above that he didn't, rather he hated the system of privilege implicit in white race as a social category.
So then why do you believe that your position is any different to that of the flat earthers.Your "currently accepted science" is race denialism
So previously you had Santa and now flat EarthSo then why do you believe that your position is any different to that of the flat earthers.
lolYou aren't dealing with bias in such as you would in the social sciences, or with non linear complex systems like in climate science, or double blind cohorts and the rest of it as in medical science. The science behind genes in this question is now straightforward, and the science is clear and unambiguous.
