I'll PM you.

What did you play, Dob?
I played Basketball and ran in track meets in high school, freshman year and beginning junior year before I left and ended up in a community college...didn't play any sports there unless you call chasing a women a sport.

With the history of violence perpetrated against you. I would be wary of anyone.

Coaches would call me "red" especially after I heated up. I was like thinking hey fat ass or baldy or pinhead to them but I preferred to play.

"I believe it is human nature to react differently to those who are in some way different than us." Your right!...

I feel that way toward anyone in government...especially progressives...I hear they go nuts if you express the truth!
A clean pressed suit, a perfect hair cut, and pissy smelling hands...is a dead give-a-way...I'll walk on the other side of the street...thankyou.

We='s Liberal, progressive Democrats...from my observation, BUT...I personally view people as:...wait, wait for it, you may have guessed it already....ready?
Conscious/could be conscious/definitely NOT CONSCIOUS!
I whittled it down to 3 categories from your 5.

So your telling me you have fire engine red hair?!

Everyone was gaga about the color red when I was in school...everyone loved Red cars and wore red cloths...being an obstinate fellow...I chose other colors and never bought anything red from those days on.
I can handle Maroon though.

Thank you.

Being a red head I protest .

Thanks.

I discriminate against the color red...does that make me a colorist?

Nowhere did I get offended by what you wrote. I just did not agree with it all. Perhaps no one here was offended in this time of many needing to be offended and many needing race as part of their identity, which is possible.

Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for putting that into words.

Like I said, you might be different and given the fact you are the only one here offended by my post it is quite possible you are different. BTW, in both of your examples above I would have just called the cops, to clean up the mess after I shot both of them dead.

Why do you think my stress level would rise any more than when on a dark and quiet street that I met three youths of any pretend color or more than when at university walking down the hall to the shower I heard a click behind me and found a young person had pulled the trigger on a revolver and when I returned from the shower he pointed it at me again and pulled the trigger and warned me to not cross him or I would be dead. I thought of cold cocking the so called white asshole. Or the stress level when a older guy put a razor blade in my face and asked if I wanted to buy it. I should have killed that so called white asshole. So your racist example with your racist so called "Black youths" just shows that you are correct about being a racist by your putting billions of humans into the "black" or other category who, through genetic shuffling, all look differently from each other, when scientifically there is no such thing as race, just those who feel threatened by those with whom one has no history of trust.

Absolutely right and exactly why I limit my racism to individual interactions with those who are racist toward me.

HA! You might be different but I don't believe it. Just say, if you happen to be White, you are walking down a dark and quiet street all alone one late evening and around the corner comes 3 Black youths walking toward you. I bet if we had a stress meter hooked up on you it would go through the roof. Call it what ever you want but I call it as I see it and those three Black kids could be perfectly innocent or NOT but I am positive your stress level would go up. Less probably if they are your same color but that could be wrong as well.

"Tell me we all don't view this worlds peoples as either White, Black, Brown, Red or Yellow."

Who is this "we" that views people that way.
There are very few in any of those categories so why pretend that they are any way valid for any rational discussion. Skin color is as individual as are all other individual differences and should only be noticed for catching those who are involved in crimes as a differentiating attribute.
For a more rational view of racism, look up Rand's article on racism.

It is nonsense like most of the left's responses to problems.

Discrimination is not limited to one ethnicity.
Yes civil rights are for all.

Having "street smarts" to keep out of hazardous situations is paramount.
Interfering with someone's
Rights
Because of nationality, ethnicity ,sex or age is ignorant and intolerable.

Projection.

Noticing that a person has physical traits that differ from one's own is one thing; attributing negative behavior, attitude, beliefs, etc. on such a basis is another.
