Racism is bullshit.

Or- My Thing On Racism- Part 2.

Previously-
My thing on racism.(part 1)


I've laid this out numerous times on message boards, and on Facebook, but it occurred to me, I haven't logged it down here.

Or, if I have, it's buried in some other rant, and I can't find it.

Anyway, I want it handy.

So, here it is.
Racism is bullshit.
Actual bullshit.

Set aside the immorality, and the history, and all that, and at its essence, it's a pseudo-science.

Like flat Earth, crystal healing, anti-vax, chem-trails, shit like that.

"Race", itself is a bullshit concept thought up by racists in the first place.
In a dark age time before people even knew about germs and handwashing.
Back in oldy-times, they justified it with phrenology, which is a quack pseudo-science in its own right.

DNA slam dunks it, we're all the same.
In the ways that matter.
Eye color, hair color, skin color, that's all superficial.
There's no such thing as "races", we're all humans.

When we talk about "race", and "racism", in mainstream political discussion, we really mean "ethnicity/color", and  "ethnic/color prejudice".

If we called racism what it is, ethnic/color prejudice, it would cut it off at the knees as the irrational dipshit nonsense it is.
But, the mainstream media, which bigots like to pretend is "liberal", doesn't want to piss the bigots off, because they buy sponsored products too, so they play their language game.

Now, remember when I said let's set aside the morals and history?
Let's pick it back up.

Given that we're all humans, and are no different than differently colored cats or horses, those were PEOPLE the south enslaved.
Those were PEOPLE the Klan murdered.
Emmett Till was a REAL little boy that piece of shit beat to death.
And those are REAL kids and babies in those doggie cages down in Texas right now.

If there's a Hell, all these "good Christians", that thought all of that was a good idea are going there.
Or are there.

"But it's backed by evolution!!".

Nope.
Covered that before.
Here.

Debunked garbage.

And even if all the pseudo-science assertions of race were true, that wouldn't automatically justify hurting other people.
How would that even work?

Pets are lower than us on the totem pole, but we don't torture pets, and those that do are socially frowned on.
There's a whole ASPCA ad campaign that sickens everyone with beaten puppies and kittens.

Christ, even the animals we EAT are killed humanely, because torture is socially frowned on.
In spite of the Bush administration trying to normalize it.

Ditto all of the above for circus animals.

Ditto retarded people.

Ditto wheelchair kids.

Ditto anyone or anything that isn't friggin' Captain America.

Abusing those weaker than you is universally acknowledged as assholism.
So, what brilliant logic did violent racists come up with?
...nothing.
They threw a bunch of insulting adjectives at the other ethnic groups to say they were of a low moral character, but...isn't murdering people low moral character?
Didn't apply to them for some magic reason.

Because every tyrant and bully is a hypocrite.

It's all bullshit.
Every breath of it.
Every scribble of it.

And that's my thing on that.
