Stomach churning, Lucy, and yes, another example of white male privilege which pervades our culture.

Women don't get leniency in some criminal cases? People from minority races don't get leniency in some criminal cases? Only white men get leniency? If not, it can't be a said privilege, jackass.

How can you stoop so low to defend this on the basis that some women also get leniency?

Then we shall have to agree to disagree, as I stand by what I say and contend that what I presented is sexism, even within the boundaries of the definitions supplied by you. That someone doesn't clearly see it is, to me, inexplicable.

that someone doesn't see how its a redefining of the words in order to suit some purpose, especially as I explained it using the words in the definition, is inexplicable to me.

You have selected a definition that is convenient for your defensive posture and try to claim it is the one and only true definition.

Here is more comprehensive definition. I do not make this shit up.

Today, some scholars of racism prefer to use the concept in the plural racisms to emphasize its many different forms that do not easily fall under a single definition and that different forms have characterized different historical periods and geographical areas.[18] Garner (2009: p. 11) summarizes different existing definitions of racism and identifies three common elements contained in those definitions of racism. First, a historical, hierarchical power relationship between groups; second, a set of ideas (an ideology) about racial differences; and, third, discriminatory actions (practices).

Your dictionary definition is far too limiting and not reflective of real world issues.

Yes some lefty scholars. Doesn't make it true. It's a fad philosophy based on hate.

to tack on to nnanji----um no Vincent, ive selected the definitions as historically understood.

and you've made my very point by your post---that the terms have been redefined, and in this case, to suit YOUR offensive posture.

You totally dodged my point. My point is, it can't be privilege if others from other genders or races in some cases receive leniency from the justice system too.

“Deputy Attorney General Hemmer’s actions and statements dehumanizes the young man who was heinously penetrated and fuels and sanctions our culture of sexism, racism, able-ism, domination, aggression, and violence,” it said.

“The young man who was brutally penetrated was viewed as less than our dominant culture ‘ideal’ of masculinity. This was a sex crime … The actions by the football players and Dietrich High School were racist,” it added.

The event was a disgusting display of cruel and twisted human behavior, but that's where the facts stop. The rest is rhetorical blather. Attaching it to the facts does not confer upon it the status of fact. And when people see the rabbit, they tend to laugh. Maybe you'd do better if you had a pretty assistant.

The entire philosophy is evil and not worth arguing. In the history of man, VML says he likes history, this sort of idealology has always been false and eventually discarded.

Could you give some examples of incidents in the history of man when the ideology of oppressed people has been false? I think not. Just a lot of words with no substance.

Well the first thing that comes to mind is you'll have to show me an oppressed people. In understanding your false philosophy, however, the first two I'd pick out are feminists and multiculturalist. While they like to whine about bein oppressed, the ideology is false.

Redefined? Oh, Child! The three point essence of the definition is from a work published in 2009.

Your definition lacking the power component would be a hard sell to the black students who were battered during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. They would laugh into your honky face.

History? You wouldn't know the history of racism in America if is sneaked up and bit you in the ass.

pfft
