Reply to comment by hardsoft in There have been more and more incidents of racially derogatory words being used by younger younger kids, at least here in Londonderry, NH. What’s the deal? by [deleted]

We’re talking about amendment for racism. You think it’s racist to make amendment for racism.

If that involves more racism or rights violations against innocent individuals, yes.

You don't get to lynch a newborn white baby and simply dismiss it as "amendment for racism".

That's not a magical phrase that justifies racism or distortion of basic logic and language. Holding someone guilty of something simply because of the color of their skin is racist.

It isn’t racism to make amendment for racism.

No one is being held guilty of anything.

So killing a white baby is ok if it's "atonement for racism"?

The guilt of the party for whatever you're atoning for is irrelevant?

Why would killing a white baby be an amendment for racism? You’re pretty sick.

Edit: oh, I see. You’re talking about atonement. I don’t care so much about that. But you’re still kind of sick.

Right

And you agree that prioritizing hurricane relief response for white people would be racist?

LetMeSleepNoEleven t1_irilvbd wrote

Of course. That would be doubling down on racism, not amending it.

And you agree low income white people in Florida trailer parks aren't responsible for a racist hurricane?

Of course. But that’s irrelevant.

So you agree prioritizing hurricane relief response based on skin color is racist, unless it's to atone for prior racism.

And that atonement against innocent individuals is wrong.

And that white trailer park individuals in Florida are not responsible for the hurricane.

See the trap you painted yourself into?

No. It’s amendment for racism.

That you don’t understand the difference between ‘atonement’ and ‘amendment’ is a problem and probably one of the sources of your active racism.

Haha. Back to your selectively magical justification phrase.

Ok.

Your choice to practice cognitive dissonance.
