Are You Racist?

[Xzi]

I'm certainly willing to own up to my share of classism vis-a-vis raging against the machine and all that. My tolerance for class traitors and bougie bitches is very low. But am I racist? No, worst I've probably done is quote Chappelle's Show without censoring myself a few times.

 

[Paulsar99]

Well I'm not perfect so sometimes I would say something slightly racist or I might stereotype people, but in the end I'm not really a type of person who would genuinely hate someone just based on his/her color.

Yeah. This thread isn't going to become a dumpster fire or anything.

Yeah. This thread isn't going to become a dumpster fire or anything.

Don't worry, it's not like the racists here have the balls to openly admit their racism anyway.

 

[DinohScene]

I'm not racist, just careful.

Anyone who can guess the reference gets an post highlight <З

This thread is ripe for a purity spiral. Spinning the veneer of innocence around like a vinyl single by Jack Turner from 1954.

Everyone has racist thoughts.

You are all racist.

None of you are free of sin.

How can I repent my sins then?

If you are hooped anyway then might as well embrace it.

I don't believe that it's possible to not be racist in some way or another. We're quite literally hardwired for it. Whether that makes you "a racist" or not depends on the definition used. That being said, I do my best to avoid wrongfully discriminating against people.

I never eat Chocolate Donuts only White Powdered ones. Does that count as racism? As Internalized Racism manifesting in odd ways?

Repenting is a great way to turn away from sin and toward god.
Perhaps maybe his meaning is, we have all sinned and since sin is a stain, it cannot be washed off, so we are stained by sin however only Jesus can wash our sin away. We simply cannot be as pure as Jesus (at least in this life) as Jesus have not sinned at all.
Repentance is a step in the right direction and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and having faith.
Confessing your sin and asking for forgiveness can lead to being forgiven. Of course you may already know this?
Then I find this verse:

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Then this one

1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

So, I'm not sure if the last verse means that the blood of Jesus will clean us from all sin when we move on from our physical body or while we are still in our physical body. If it is the former, then technically we still bear the sins, but if I am correct, it is forgiven, especially after asking for forgiveness of it.

Race is a pointless construct and the sooner we start looking at other human beings as other human beings the better. Then again, I regularly find myself cursing the entire human race for having not evolved past tribalistic behaviour. I mean, it's 2020. We could have united globally and been exploring space or something, but instead we're still busy causing pointless wars, exhausting resources and persecuting other people on pointless factors that don't affect any aspects of their thought processes.

I am a demon, all humans are just simple mortals to me.

Real talk - I'd prefer to burn in hell anyways. Eternal happiness without wants or desire sounds more frightening than hell to me. If I wanted that, I'd just stick a IV drip of dopamine into my cerebral cortex.

From my experience I can say that idiots come in all flavors, nothing to do with "races".
Or to use a quote:

"Well, s**t comes in all hues."

[Tarmfot]

I just can learn to hate every kind of people for every kind of motivation.
Then why could I not hate based on race, too?

I just try to not hate. Too much effort.

While it is pretty useless for the man in the street test, or for evaluating the merit of an otherwise unknown person I can't quite get to useless. Also can't get to how the existence of a concept called race means you are then unable to do the "they is a human bean" bit.
