Tito, I cannot believe you are trying to reason with him.
It is absurd that you are arguing that anyone alive today needs to show 'humility', Dennis. Is it Tito's fault that black people who marry other black people are more likely to divorce and raise kids without fathers? Or carry out violent crime? Or go to prison for child abuse? How is he being racist when he even avoids such topics? You can try and go after me for raising uncomfortable facts, but again it is not racism. It is simply making an observation of something in society. I am interested in social behavior and it is only by raising issues that we raise consciousness and in turn can improve. By living in denial, then nothing improves. Thus we look at personal agency. Should one ignore it all completely and indeed just go full on SJW ignoring reality? No, I think people in any ethnic group have it in them to display agency and it is their duty to raise their children well or else just not have them. That is my approach and I apply it across all ethnic lines. That is indeed one way for black communities to improve their quality of life. It is the kind of thing Candace Owens argues all the time, but she is black so cannot be called racist.
If you know anything about me you will know I have been calling out the same flaws in the white community as well and get heat for it. If you want to discuss IQ you know full well that white people are only in the middle and I do not believe in superiority. Only that some groups perform better on abstract tests of intelligence than others, but that members of any group can and do excel on them. They are a general predictor of good outcomes, but far from absolute. There is no superiority there, more aspiration on my part as I want to make good decisions myself too and even if I cannot push my IQ above 140, will at least learn something new everyday and never harm a child.
I don't admit to being a complete racist because I really do not see myself as such. However, if I know someone has genitally mutilated their child, or abandoned their child, or beaten their child, or carried out a violent crime for a drug habit thus leaving a child neglected etc, then I will call it out as I simply disagree with actions that harm children. Hurt yourself, fine. But if you have it in you to bring children into this world then show a little agency. That is my philosophy. There are good and bad people in any race, but it is bad to ignore clearly bad actors. Those that think they mean well and show humility can themselves be causing more harm than good. I do not agree with that whence being strong willed and not terribly woke.
