90% of the worlds pop is stupid. Everyone believing in the very concept of 'race' is stupid because they lack common sense and any form of self reflection and respect. As you see this forum is loaded with people who believe in race. So how many people truelly have common sense? why hate on those that preach truth? is it because they preach(the obvious?)

The problem is not believing in the concept of race. The problem is when you decide to treat people different based on that. I acknowledge and appreciate the vastness of the human spectrum.

But i digress. It's funny how black people have been the unfortunate beneficiary of race hatred in every corner of the Earth. Yet when speaking candidly on the subject to those who have practiced it, they are told to ignore it and there racist. FOH.

People who choose to ignore this and take the colorblind approach are full o'shit in my book.

If its such an easy concept, then what is the need for the advisory? When you are hungry, do you need someone to remind you that you are hungrry. When you burn your hand, do you need someone to remind you it is in pain? No you dont, its common sense. So if im wearing a black shirt and someone says to me "hey you're wearing a black shirt" im going to look at them like they are stupid, and then tell them so.

well, if people were as stupid towards recognizing their hunger as they are with prejudices/generalizations...then yes.

Samething can be said for you stating the obvious, you need to look beyond words to truelly understand absoluteness(thinking), if you did not get the point I made about common sense than what did you understand? Absolute thinking has nothing to do with the words u use.

what can be said for me stating the obvious? Am I asking you to follow what i say? No,am i telling you how or what you should think?

Absolute thinking has nothing to do with words u use? You cant be serious, that must just be a series of typos.

the bolded is not true, its your illusion. I know you are fed up about reading this illusion crap but it's true. It is what you believe, it is however not the reality in the globe, not in history and not in the present. You can stay believing in that illusion and build upn it, but when you stand before God do you still believe in it or give so much emotional value to it? I refuse to believe u truelly believe in that denigrating stuff. everybody regardless of their appearances will face 'racism' or discrimination by others somewhere on the globe...because some people are intolerant/fearfull of that that is different than them. its ignorance.

there is a difference between not giving a damn, and ignoring btw. I don't live the colour blind approach, that is what you label my way of thinking, a way of thinking that is preached by my fam and hometown etc, which is basically moral code, the way to live. Due to the fact this is unfamilair where you at, maybe in your fam, thats why you call it the colourblind approach. I don't believe in the colourblind approach, thats just your illusion/assumption of how you think I look at human diversity and the world. Dont think I will ever believe in that illusion bro. why try to make me believe in colours?

your avatar has numbers on it, time has nothing to do with numbers, just like absoluteness thinking has nothing to do with words.

Oliver, my problem is not in what was said, it is in the reasoning behind the statement. Telling anyone what or how they should think is just as dangerous as the message itself imo.

And yeah, i analyze every single detail, thats just how i do, i dont just blindly follow blanket statements, or follow at all for that matter.

Everyone is a follower and has been led by someone at sometime, somewhere. You are no exception. There is nothing wrong with that. Even a non-conformist conforms to nonconformity.

Well Oliver, that is a very blanketed statement if I ever saw one, so in no way will i agree with that, but I do understand partially, where you are coming from.

haha...It's not a blanket statement, it is a fact. Show me one person who has never been led, or followed another person at one point in time, and I will show you a liar.

i would have to know every single person in the world to do that, and I cant. Thats just your assumption, or generalization based on your narrow view in the grand scheme of things, imo. it may make sense, but making sense and facts are two different things you know.

also, there many different variations of being led or followed, so if you want to get into all of that, sure go ahead, however, we are speaking specifically in terms of the original question, lets not waver off into all kinds of nonsense.

I'm going off of what you said, that you are not a follower and are not led, but the FACT remains that anyone with parents has been led and has followed. Anyone that has been taught ANYTHING has followed and been led. Period. You don't need to know every person to understand that.

i knew you would bring that in, and that is not what we are discussing. Yes a child needs to depend on its parents, yes, you may ask directions to get to a destination, you may even need a tour guide. that is not the issue, the issue, is someone telling you what or how you should think/believe.

You say there is nothing wrong with following or being led, by that premise, its ok for jihadists and militia groups and gangs to exist and carry out whatever agenda it is they are trying to promote. and while we're at it, lets throw in Jim Jones and his followers. Because according to you, hey theres nothing wrong with it.

What is it with you and false implications and assumptions to suit your argument? Just as the thread starter never said that you must always believe in what someone says without understanding, I never said that Jim Jones' or Jihadists' behavior was correct behavior. What I did say was there is nothing wrong with following, or being led because we are all followers - for good or bad.

bend it anyway to "seem" correct huh?

You were the 1st one here to slang insults, so whatever you say from this point on, is of no relevance because you've demonstrated your inability to have a discussion in a reasonable and mature manner.
