Seriously.

There needs to be an understanding of how to present your argument and how your message will connect with others.

If your message is that the common denominator is mankind's cruelty to one another, arguing that the holocaust was not about race is not the best way to present that message.

We shouldn't be having a debate on whether or not Jewish people are a race. It is splitting hairs for no reason, when we know that Hitler's objective was creating what he viewed as a pure race.

It is easy enough to reflect on several atrocities commit throughout the history of man and focus on the underlying factors: greed, ambition, immorality, disregard for suffering.

I do agree with @RhapSaRiq in that much of how I feel depends on the topic they were having beforehand. If they were on their usual bullshyt of trying to deny race as component, it is a good example of how people respond when they are served their own medicine.

You believe in "flat blackness" correct? If an ADOS person said they weren't African would you dissent?

Nah, she’s been in the game too long to get cancelled now. She’ll make a U-turn, issue a statement, say her words were taken out of context, “donate” to a Holocaust memorial site, blah blah blah.

Nahhhhh she got cancelled years ago prior to getting The View gig for a George Bush joke, so don't think that they won't do it to her again.

This is a strawman.

I believe in understanding that words are used to communicate with one another.

Ergo if someone sets out to eliminate a groups of people to create, what is in their mind, a pure race, I'm going to conclude that race is a factor.

I'm not going to waste my time splitting hairs over how people define and categorise race when the overall objective is clear.

You do know some Jews escaped persecution by simply claiming they're not Jewish, right?

Could a black slave just say "I'm actually white", and escape slavery? How about a lynching? What about going into colored vs white spaces in Jim Crow?

German Jews were a thing. They spoke German, were born in and lived in Germany their whole lives, and by all accounts were German. The only difference is that they were Jewish. That's why names like Baumgartner, Kaizer, Silberstein, etc exist.
what the actual fukk are you talking about :childplease:

yep
