I believe no

I wish it would stop, but there's always gonna be SOME Karen out there that's gotta ruin it.

I think that your comment is funny, but the whole "Karen" thing is racist in and of itself. It's specifically meant to be about white women who do something overbearing or out of line in some way, frequently associated with some kind of discriminatory behavior. They even made a name for when it is a white man doing whatever warrants being called the male version of a "Karen". There are also names for when other races of people engage in the aforementioned behavior. It's all racist, but people who proclaim to be social justice warriors use this racist terminology all the time. I'm not saying you are racist at all. Not even that you said or did something racist. I'm just arguing that the term "Karen" should not be used, as it is singles out a specific race for condemnation.

Cheers!

I respect your take on it

Well thanks, I'm glad you did not take offense. Cheers!

Cheers

yeah, that’s pretty smart, cheers my friend

woah danks..,i didn’t think you could...really make people think deep like that, i honestly thought you were all “END BREEZEY AND ALWAYZBREAD!!!” but dang bro, im gonna agree on that

That's something a Karen would say. I get that white women are sick of being called Karens, but The term Karen should never be compared to the n-word or the f-word.

fair point friend, you’re comment has been upvoted

tank you

did you say tank?

panzer noises intensifies

perhaps

I never compared it to those words. I said there are names for other races of Karens...for example, one black version of Karen is Keisha. There are others, too. It's all about stereotyping, however you look at it. It is clearly discriminatory and that's never righteous behavior.

"That's something a Karen would say." The irony is so thick I could cut it with a knife. You literally start your comment with a generalization, as if it's okay for you to do, but not others. I suppose you are one of the heavily indoctrinated who view rioting and looting as acceptable behavior...as long as it's not people you don't like engaged in said behavior. Double standards everywhere!

that's not true
there are black karens as well

Did you read my comment? I specifically stated that there are names for "Karens" of races other than "whites"!

The word karen is not racist, if you think *Karen* is racist then you are a karen

not exactly, i honestly think that the term “karen” isn’t racist, but should still not be used, as it really makes you just as bad as they are, calling someone Karen is being obnoxious and if they actually think they have been wronged..and instead of trying to converse with them calmly, people insult them for sticking to there opinions, while some are actually racist, and deserve it, is it really that bad anyone who dares step out of the lines of society a bad person?

Eh, not really (until Jesus comes back honestly) cause there will always be some people who do that.
Working to end it on a widespread basis though would involve things like stop making one ethnicity out to be victims and one to be oppressors. Also I prefer the term "ethnicity" cause we're all the human race, Not a bunch of different human races.
You can't try and use racism to describe anything that happens that you don't like and say it was cause of racism. That doesn't help anything.

Yup, only one race - human...homo sapiens. And yes, identifying by race is a problem. "Our people" or "their people" is inherently racist, yet certain "races" are allowed to say it proudly and others are denounced as bigots when they say it. Why are people proud of their "race" or ethnicity? Why are people proud of their sexuality? These are not things people worked for. People are born with these characteristics. Gay pride rallies are dumb. So are the weird straight pride rallies done in rebuttal. The same goes for any race-specific rally/demonstration. Protesting is different than marching for pride, so I'm not saying that is dumb. I AM saying it is dumb when it is more about violence, hate, and destruction than it is about actual peaceful protesting.

Agreed

so smart

THX! im so tired of the media just villianizing whites & suggesting blacks r always the victims. Yes, black ppl were victims at one point, but all whites weren't villains even then. Plus there are good and bad of every ethnicity. & u're definitely right about the word racism; it's basically used 2 say "I don't agree with you" these days.
but ye idk how this world will come 2 peace b4 Jesus' return...

Yeah, it'll never be perfect till then, but we should do what we can though.

yes we should

hopefully.

In order to stop racism you need to understand the human psyche. Racism is not the result of slavery. Those are just two different things that came intertwined over the course of history. Stating otherwise would mean you neglect how many populations enslaved their own people in the past. No, the true problem goes deeper than that.

The reason why racism can't end is the same reason why world peace is an illusion. Back when we were cavemen we lived in tribes. It was the law of the jungle. Kill or be killed. So in order to survive we had to hate members of the other tribe. "We" are good, "they" are bad. That has become the core basis of our survival instincts.

Now that we live in modern society, we no longer need this instinct. In fact we've grown to hate it. Yet it lingers. Old habits die hard and the instinct isn't gone. Racism is just one of the many ways in which this comes back. In order to satisfy our instincts we need a "we" to be good and a "they" to be bad. If we don't have a reason, we'll simply make one. "We" (one skin color) are good and "they" (the other skin color) are bad. But we can put this even further than just the scope of racism. We (the "liberals") vs. they (the "conservatives"). We (The Christians) vs they (The Muslims). We (the fans of sport team A) vs they (the fans of sport team B). Particularly football hooligans who keep on fighting each other show this, and the odd part is... The hatred even units, yes even racism. It is "we" vs "they" after all. We need the "we"... Humans are group creatures after all, so we need the group we belong to in nature, and that shows in our current behavior. But the more one group unites, whether that be the white/black, or the Democrats/Republicans, or the Christians/Muslims/other religion or sport team fans, the more the hatred toward the other group becomes AND vice versa.

The key to stop racism, and other forms of hatred for that matter, by letting the old instincts go. Respecting other people's cultures, yes even when they are full of blood and slavery (trust me ALL cultures have a past in blood and slavery, no exceptions), and don't keep attacking each other on them. As the war against racism can become the new road to racism, and that counts for all sorts of hate and discrimination in general.

There's nothing good or bad about being white or black. It's only different from the other's point of view, and therefore a reason we can deem ourselves to one of the group. tbc.

But remember this, when a group of white and black ones are fully united in hating homosexuals, you may not be racist, but homophobia is just in the same book. Profiling, needing a reason to hate. Only now the skin color wasn't the factor that decided which group you belong to, but your sexual orientation. But that makes it just as bad.

Hatred in whatever kind of form, can only be driven from this world, if we accept that everybody is different, and that belonging to "an other group" does not mean we should hate the members of the other group for this.

I can put this even further. I remember as a kid that we had a constant "war" with pupils from a different school. So even there the "group" vs. "group" thing is there. (CapCom even based the game "Rival School" on this phenomenon). Now not race, sexual orientation or even religion is the key, but the school kids attend to.

Our society developed faster than evolution can follow. It is very well possible that hatred, including racism, may fade over time. But I don't expect to see the day that will happen. What we needed in the past to survive is now standing in the way. The world has become smaller due to modern technology. We need each other more than ever. One of the reasons the coronavirus is still not under control is because none of the nations want to allow an other nation to put the feather of beating that virus on their cap, and want the honor to themselves. Corona is only one of the many issues for which that counts, but as the present time the issue dominating the news most.

Think beyond the scope of racism, and think in hatred in general. Look at the reasons why people could belong in a group or not, and look in what reasons people have to hate the other. Find out what group you belong to yourself and try to find out what you can do to accept the other. You don't have to "love" them. You can't love everybody in the world. But accepting the other group. If you can let the idea of your group go, and don't hold too tight on identifying yourself with that group, you may hold the key to end hatred in general, and if hatred fades, so will racism, as racism is nothing more but hate based on groups... Groups decided by skin color.

Now the seeing the core of the problem is one thing. Accepting that core is another. Most people do not. It's easier to blame others than to accept yourself *and your group the way) you truly are

I think no. There is always going to be someone who will be racist.

Tbh... Who knows.

According to the Bible, Rascism will always be an issue in some way, shape or form. The Bible has never been wrong about the future, in fact. Descrimination is part of how God describes the world.

Racism is far too common a mental phenomenon to ever be erased completely, I’m afraid.

People have been warring with each other ever since the first caveman picked up a sharpened stick over every dumb manner of distinction.

If it’s not race, it’s religion. If it’s not religion, its language. If it’s not language, it’s gender. If it’s not gender, it’s age. If it’s not age, it’s which side of the hill you were born on.

Dr. Seuss’s Star-Bellied Sneeches book is the timeless classic that can explain the concept of bigotry even to children.

Tl;dr — Racism is just one subset of tribalism: in-group/out-group behavior that we have seen forever. It evolved in humans because healthy skepticism Of outsiders and the fear mechanism had adaptive benefits, but it is not very well-suited to modern existence.

But we can raise awareness and make conscious efforts to try to overcome it.

No cuz I bet in our life time, we’re gonna have like 18 more races and colors

so someone is going to have blue skin?

NGL I ACTUALLY USED TO
