The academic definition of racism where only those with "power" can be racist

is a rigged and stupid game of semantics.

It makes no sense in any other context. Can only those in power murder others? Steal from others? Etc.

I agree with your points, just wanted to point out how dumb the widely accepted definition of racism is today.

Little context behind why Dawn Staley had to set everyone straight

kansascougar

Well, you know, Dawn did her research.

CougGolf

Never let truth get in the way of a lie. Narcissists are that way.

Archaea

4/1/23 1:19pm

At least she is consistent.

She was talking abt nat'l writers being negative re her team.

jlhazlewood

Link to what the national writers actually said?

Chasicle

4/1/23 1:20pm

Her vivid imagination allows her to conjure up offenses

Archaea

4/1/23 1:21pm

Did somebody really call her team monkeys...

WJCougar

4/1/23 1:21pm

She just fabricated it to hide behind a false accusation of racism

Archaea

4/1/23 1:22pm

She is the racist and wants so badly to be a victim. Just like the Dukies.

I despise racism but I also despise those that dilute the fight

Archaea

4/1/23 1:25pm

It seems to me you despise racism as long as you get to be the one to define it.

StalwartBraveTrue

4/1/23 1:55pm

There are multiple genres of racism as defined by those devoted to African

Archaea

4/1/23 3:24pm

Please forward this along to Dawn.

No sounds like he’s saying non racism described as racism dilutes the real thing

Lies about racism aren’t racist but they weaken the fight against racism.

Archaea

4/1/23 3:49pm

Lies about racism can be a form of projection. I think Dawn is racist

chismoso

4/1/23 5:22pm

She wouldn't meet the traditional or academic definitions of racist, but you can

dfudge

4/1/23 5:52pm

You might not like it, but it is what it is.

Archaea

4/1/23 5:54pm

I am 100% in agreement with you.

Courtimedes

4/1/23 5:59pm

Not how sociologists define it.

Archaea

4/1/23 6:09pm

And this is the danger in letting others define language. Racism is defined

dfudge

4/1/23 7:40pm

So allowing those who study it or those most impacted by it to define it is a

Archaea

4/1/23 7:42pm

If the definition is used as a weapon against another race, then yeah we should

dfudge

4/1/23 7:46pm

This is part of the issue. Just about everyone has been impacted by racism

chismoso

4/1/23 7:46pm

Then you're not paying attention. By the way, latino is an ethnicity, not a race

Archaea

4/1/23 7:51pm

another white guy telling others what they are

chismoso

4/1/23 8:09pm

I can reference sociology if you wish, even those written by Latinos.

Archaea

4/1/23 8:13pm

I guess we could let 5 people from Waukesha define it, but they're dead.

Corn Pop

4/1/23 7:48pm

Really? When were Northern Europeans owned by persons of African heritage in the

Archaea

4/1/23 7:52pm

Well, HOWDY DOODY, we really have ENDED RACISM here in the US.

Corn Pop

4/1/23 7:58pm

Let's review a little history:

Archaea

4/1/23 8:10pm

What abt "No Irish Need Apply" or "Poles"?

jlhazlewood

4/1/23 8:15pm

New groups were often discriminated but eventually assimilated because

Archaea

4/1/23 8:27pm

You're correct. Discrimination exist everywhere. We're human

jlhazlewood

4/1/23 9:35pm

There is racism elsewhere, I agree, but we can only improve our communities and

Archaea

4/1/23 10:16pm

You're the one who defined racism by such a narrow term, not me.

Corn Pop

4/1/23 8:24pm

I haven't defined it but adopted the definition of others, who've studied it

Archaea

4/1/23 8:31pm

hate crimes show one race disproportionally commits more than others

chismoso

4/1/23 8:10pm

I recognize your talking points but you've not spent time

Archaea

4/1/23 8:14pm

You know everything. Must have done lots of google searching

chismoso

4/1/23 8:18pm

FBI crime statistics are collected based on locality and then aggregated.

Archaea

4/1/23 8:29pm

Too specific and straightforward

chismoso

4/1/23 6:13pm

One ethnic group is most impacted by racial chattel slavery.

Archaea

4/1/23 7:44pm

you are regurgitating the rigged excuses from a biased group

chismoso

4/1/23 7:50pm

There are two types of slavery, which subdivisions in each:

Archaea

4/1/23 7:55pm

Why are you obsessed with only selected problems from 150+ years ago?

chismoso

4/1/23 8:08pm

Please show me where I alleged that? I will wait.

Archaea

4/1/23 8:11pm

Answer the questions

chismoso

4/1/23 8:17pm

Or, I have a wide swath of friends from many cultures, and I spend time

Archaea

4/1/23 8:24pm

The renewed definitions of racism are rejected by most of the population

chismoso

4/1/23 5:59pm

Seems to me like you belong to the camp he’s talking about.

Then name names. You should have to back it up. They should be fired. Or her.

My apologies for my earlier statement. It was argumentative, somewhat snide,

No worries. This is a sports board.

RE: She is the racist and wants so badly to be a victim. Just like the Dukies.

WJCougar

Again

chismoso

4/1/23 4:43pm

She did, apparently.

Courtimedes

4/1/23 1:34pm

Yeah, none of that happened. Guaranteed.

fbguru

4/1/23 1:27pm

This is hilarious. A group of national writers got together and were calling her

CougGolf

4/1/23 1:27pm

Unfortunately, nobody use the words that she did other than bar fighters

kansascougar

We are lucky that game got cancelled

ABCoug

You think a bunch of media members, yes media members, got together

"Staley's Monkeys." Sounds like a fun nickname for you guys, coach. Thanx.

SinkingQuffa

4/1/23 3:08pm

Not one non Blacks can use. Barmaids.

Archaea

4/1/23 3:28pm

Which is why she shoulda kept it outa the public conversation.

SinkingQuffa

4/1/23 3:33pm

She sure seems to see everything in life through the lenses of racism and phobia

4/1/23 4:16pm

No, she's smarter than that; she knows she gets excused for her bad behavior

Archaea

4/1/23 4:26pm

I get your point, but not sure I would ever say she is “smarter than” in any

Reverse racism at its finest. SC should be proud.

TrueBlue67

Reverse racism isn’t a thing. She is a racist — she’s not a racist with an asterisk.
