This is what you said.

Racism is fictitious.

rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.


fic·ti·tious
/fikˈtiSHəs/
adjective
not real or true, being imaginary or having been fabricated.


Now.... without getting into a convoluted argument or semantics about the word "racism"...... I'm going to state that racism is most certainly NOT fictitious.... that it does in fact exist.... and that arguments to the contrary are usually meant to defend/ diminish/ deflect from the existence of racist people and racist behavior.

We both agree that skin color or ethnicity do not make anyone superior or inferior to anybody else. But getting hung up on semantics over what a racist person believes, is looking for complex solutions to simple problems.

Notice the "racism" definitions says nothing of someone "imagining they're superior". It talks about discrimination and antagonism..... two distinct actions that hurt the person on the receiving end.

This is what I actually posted and copied and edited from (on 1 November 2019 in this thread https://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfo...ism+fictitious post #29):

People need to understand that racism is fictitious. There can be no such thing as Racism. There's only one race on this planet; the human race. There aren't races of people, there are people from other places, there are people with different facial features and skin tones, but we're all members of the human race.

Blacks aren't one race, whites another, Hispanics and Asians another, we're all one race. Why don't people understand this?

If somebody feels that they're superior to somebody else because they look a certain way or talk a certain way or have a different skin tone or colour, then they've got an internal superiority complex based on nothing but a figment of their own imagination. They're making this stuff up. To call a white man racist because he imagines himself to be better than or has the moral right to rule over men of another colour, it's just buying into the indoctrination that keeps us all divided in our little groups.

So if it not a fact that that somebody is superior to somebody else because they look a certain way or talk a certain way or have a different skin tone or colour, what is it?

You are taking one part of my comment and using it out of context.

Even worse, Alpha. Not only do you say that racism is "fictitious", but you go on to say there is no such thing as racism, all based because according to you there is only one race on the planet: the human race. And yet.......


race
/rās/
noun
noun: race; plural noun: races
each of the major divisions of humankind, having distinct physical characteristics.
"people of all races, colors, and creeds"
Similar:
ethnic group
racial type
(ethnic) origin

the fact or condition of belonging to a racial division or group; the qualities or characteristics associated with this.
"people of mixed race"
Similar:
ethnic group
racial type
(ethnic) origin

a group of people sharing the same culture, history, language, etc.; an ethnic group.
"we Scots were a bloodthirsty race then"
Similar:
ethnic group
racial type
(ethnic) origin
people
nation



So you see..... you don't get to implement your own personal definition of "race"....... nor "racism", for that matter. Once again, it's a matter of convenience when people start playing games with words.

human race
/ˌhjuːmən ˈreɪs/
noun
human beings in general; humankind.

Do you believe that people from other places, people with different facial features and skin tones etc aren't part of the human race?

You have already adimitted that it is not a fact that somebody is superior to somebody else because they look a certain way or talk a certain way or have a different skin tone or colour, so if it's not a fact then it's made up, an idea or a belief, something that isn't real. Peoples actions based on those made up ideas or beliefs are down to ones morality.

I prefer to see people as people, and base my thoughts on each individual based on their actions of morality and immorality. If you choose to break people down into different groups based on differences that's up to you.

One thing is to believe the Earth is flat. You're obviously totally entitled to those beliefs.

It's quite another to claim that racism is fictitious.

I see people as people too..... but this isn't about you and me. It's about racist people.

I've already proven racism does exist, and that it isn't just about superiority beliefs. It's about actions detrimental to the targets of racism.

The earth is demostrably level, as proven by the physics of the tangible substance known as water.

It's not a fact that somebody is superior to somebody else because they look a certain way or talk a certain way or have a different skin tone or colour. If somebody feels that way, it is only based on something they imagine themselves to be. The actions they portray based on that ficticious idea comes down to the morality of the indivdual.

To seperate people into groups based on differences (colour, gender, sexual preference, nationality, political affiliation etc) is all by design to keep us as a people fighting among ourselves, rather than focusing on the real problem, that is those in control.

People take it upon themselves to create separation from others because of these differences, Alpha. These same people, through ignorance, fear, or just plain malice, then practice the actions of racism. If it was just beliefs of superiority, no harm no foul. But they discriminate, antagonize, and in other ways hurt others they deem different. Calling racism fictitious is, IMO, a disservice to this malaise that a lot of people suffer from.
