Does TLR think race exists?

[The 2020 New Member]

when white people started to travel around the world they discovered that all the native peoples around the world were colored (non-white) and they also discovered that those colored people disproportionately outnumbered them, and if those colored people were to procreate with them, it wouldn't be long before white was completely bred out.

this was the birth of white supremacy, the fear of genetic annihilation.

Whites needed a way to ensure their survival, and it meant starting a propaganda campaign around the world that they were better than all, they used religion by changing deities to white thus associating god in the minds of the masses with white. they used science to prove that non-whites were inferior and sub-human, and they subjected Africans to hundreds of years of chattel slavery convincing them that they were sub-human, erasing their identities and history in the process and replacing that history with history written by them.

this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface, but I hope it helps a bit.

well, this type of stuff is apparent. i'm asking is race actually has any bearing on how a person will/will not be. if it's made up for evil reason, why don't we destroy the concept of race? how can we do it?

or improbable? the circumstances might be extreme, but it could happen, right?

if it is improbable, I would like to see any case where it would not exist in society...

No..there's only one race and that's the human race

Before the concept of race which was about 2,500 years ago or around the time Greece came into power (even tho Greece was pro white not racist).we were all friends and we didnt judge someone by the color of their skin..

And how exactly would YOU know what the status of the world was 2,500 years ago or around the time Greece came in to power?

@Billy Costigan The way you broke it down, it doesn't until it comes to a piece of paper defining you. It really depends on the situation. White people even break down their background. And if you get it twisted they get mad as any person would. If you call a Haitian person Jamaican they may wanna beat the breaks off of you. IMO race is only important on paper.

Uhhh..it's called history

Nah homie, that is not history..that's some revisionist shyt...indeed the concept of racial oppression began in the 1400s when the transatlantic slave trade was established, but there were divisions of class, color, gender, and culture ll over the world

you would have to destroy the system of white supremacy because it created the idea of race to maintain the system.

the concept of "white" allows Europeans to grant "white" status to people who are not necessarily white but can pass for white, thus creating more confusion amongst non-white people.

When George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, white people granted him white status and treated him as such by financially taking care of him (donations etc), representing him, standing up for him. and it's all because he acted on behalf of white supremacy by killing a black male in a white neighborhood.

So what is your evidence of people not judging each other by the color of their skin? Cuz the way you described it I almost swore you were THERE.

Sure bro..racial oppression began as an excuse for the slave trade ..mostly for Britain..by portraying Africans as less then human..but I was talking about recognizing someone's color of their skin..that began in Greece..

We're talking about the concept of race and I gave you the concept in my first post

They exist genetically and socially. Generic clusters are real.

But where is your evidence that racism didn't exist in the time period you're speaking of? You made the claim, the burden of proof is on you

breh read Herodotus and Thucydides...they were the original white historians of Ancient Greece and were around during those times and wrote about the non-whites and described the Persians in "inferior" ways...also, Aristotle used similar rhetoric...

Socially yes.. biologically idk..im no expert on genetic code and all that good stuff.. but to keep it simple, but once you decide to divide and conquer someone has to be labeled and dropped to the bottom of the totem pole

@Box Cutta where can i get more info on this?

i hate to jump to an extreme but all i can think of is an enormously catastrophic even that would force people to look beyond the superficial and work harmoniously for the good of the entire society. not to be too cynical, that's the only way i see it happening. the odds or time it would take to dismantle the current 'white' ruled power system or breed away our differences seems unfathomable, but still not impossible.

so would you agree that the concept of race is a natural thing for mankind? is it inherently evil and should it be done away with? will some other social concept ever be able to take it's place.

at the thought of a future age where there is something worse than racism.
