NY Times Newest Editor Hates White People

Because Merriam-Websters is not one of the biggest, if not the biggest, and most authoritative sources out there for definitions? They are just some podunk sources that's super fringey, right?

OED, Cambridge and Black's Law Dictionary, which is the authoritative source for legal definitions, all chose to not include that definition. So at best it's a minor definition or perhaps a US centric minor definition.
 
Dumbass white people on the internet does not mean the same thing as all white people. Nor does it mean that all white people are inherently dumb.

Just as I thought.
I figured that would be your excuse.
So then what would qualify as a racist remark?
How about “#CancelWhitePeople” and “white men are bulls***”?
Sounds pretty inclusive.

Don't get hurt twisting yourself in knots over your defense of Sarah Jeong.
 
I need a good laugh-go for it

You claimed "liberals" were much more into sitting around and taking offense at everything.

I pointed out that merely removing statues to the slaveocracy has reduced conservatives to equating people to members of a vicious terrorist group(the Taliban) and shrieking about how removing said statues will "erase history"(which, of course, is utterly laughable).

Would you like me to explain it for you again in smaller words?
 
It's self-evident. I'm not going to argue against hypocritical BS like yours.

Call me when even a tenth of the stuff that's been inflicted on minorities has happened to white folks. Until then, I'm not going to get worked up over an irrelevant hashtag.

That's fine. Just understand that when you condone bigotry against some you condone it in general.

Madonna this isn't hard. How's this "White men are inferior to black men and can never be their equal." That's racist. Or try anything that Hitler said about the inferiority of Jews or slaveholders about the fact that slaves weren't human. Those are racist remarks.

Understand again that the definition of racism that I'm using that I still believe to be the correct one requires that you believe that a race IS GENETICALLY INFERIOR to yours. If that component isn't there it isn't racist. Plain and simple.

How do the statements "#CancelWhitePeople" and "white men are bull****" imply a belief that white men are genetically inferior? Prejudice is prejudice and racism is racism and they aren't the same thing. At least not by the definition that was operative for decades until people starting calling anything they didn't like racist simply as a means to demonize people.

And don't read ANY of that to mean that I don't think she's displaying prejudice. She is. But the statements I have read do not meet the definition of racism.

Red herring and once again, tailoring the well-known and accepted definition of a word to suit your narrative.
Oh, it's not racist because it's not based on a notion of genetic inferiority?
Seriously?

Hold on one minute.
Madonna didn't say white men are genetically inferior to black men.
Not even implicitly.
She could have meant as backup singers, or stage dancers, or in the sack.
You'd be a racist misandrist for suggesting otherwise and for accusing her of racism and hating white men ... that's gotta be worse than racism.
So Madonna is in the clear ... unless you have an inverse-excuse that allows for people such as yourself to decide when it's close enough.
According to you, she wasn't explicit enough.
And we can't assume what she meant, right?

I think the notion that he's serious vanished a bunch of posts ago.
All that's left now is him saying out loud "what the hell was I thinking?".
 
This made me LOL:

[FONT=&]"[/FONT]If Sarah Jeong thinks white men really suck wait until meets the rest of the opinion columnists at the New York Times."

The funny thing is people are uncovering all kinds of hateful rants in her timeline against her new coworkers. She'll burn out pretty quickly, I'm sure... people that insane can't play sane for very long.
 
What is funny is reading all the whining from posters who would never read the NYT in the first place.

I’ve quoted a number of reputable sources: The Oxford English Dictionary, the Cambridge English Dictionary, Black’s Law Dictionary and even Webster’s which lists the genetic definition as the primary definition of the term.

So yes like it or not the genetic definition IS the definition of the term.

No. I am dead serious. And I stand by what I stated here. Words matter and should be used as defined.

I do have to wonder if some of the people who are arguing the point with me would be quite so vociferous if it was a white person.

Hmm. How does work when someone is of mixed races?
A white person calling a black person a racist term, knowing they're half white. Is the racist just hating on the black genes and not the white jeans, or is the racism based on skin color?

There’s no logic or intelligence behind racism so trying to get a rational answer to that question is probably a waste of time.

I do know that Nazi’s and many in the KKK considered anyone with any “tainted” blood to be Jewish or black so there’s that.

I couldn't care less about that issue-its just funny watching effete lefties thinking they are doing something useful by such petulant stupidity

Clearly you cared enough to make multiple posts on the subject.

"Petulant stupidity" describes the "Lost Cause" followers to a T.

petulant stupidity is what white liberals engage in by trying to ingratiate themselves with blacks who think destroying monuments to confederates is more important than say getting a handle on out of control rates of illegitimacy, black on black homicides (70+ people-almost all blacks-shot in Chicago in the last week or so) and dropping out of school.

Lol. I’m Italian. Madonna (literally the mother of God) is what granny used to say to us when we pissed her off.

Jim Crow called and he said Thank You, Turtle Dude.
