@kannstipated saidNonsense people like Kanye and Morgan Freemen reject the idea of “Blackness”
Yet they never tell a black person that.
They only say it to whites.
@athousandyoung saidHow do the majority feel?

I'd love to see a white liberal tell some black people that they aren't black. They definitely spend enough time telling us we aren't white.
@kannstipated saidI don’t know who you talk to but I have never heard nonsense like that. I think you are misunderstanding what they mean. If you had direct quotes I could probably explain. Some might reject a “white race” because it puts (non-Aryan) Finns and Basques together with Aryan Germanics and Latins, or because it separates it separates Caucasian brown Indians from Caucasian white Europeans, or because the definition has varied throughout time (in the US there have been times when Irish and Italians weren’t considered white, or places and times in which Japanese WERE considered white) etc
How do the majority feel?

@athousandyoung saidSo what?
The Romans and Greeks were white…according to most modern definitions of the word white
Christianity developed in the Middle East and spread to them.
The OP's statement is correct.
Oh I get it you [Kannstipated]are talking about people who complain about racism but reject the reality of race. I gave you too much credit. You are just spouting right wing memes.
Racism can exist even if race does not because the people who are being racist believe in races and use their power unfairly to make life harder for people who they perceive to be members of a race.
If the government, police, banks and even the laws discriminated against people who “look like ALF the alien” the discrimination is real but it does not mean there is a biological race of ALFs out there!
@AThousandYoung
Some might reject a white race because of...this that and a third.
Yes they do that a lot.
Do those same people reject a black race because of the same assessment techniques?
No they don't.
That was my point.

@yo-its-me saidSame
And Judaism?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all started in the same part of the world.
@yo-its-me saidSemites, neither white nor Black, though most Jews today are Ashkenazim who are mixed race with a lot of white blood in them but that’s completely separate set of ancestors than the Jewish ones

@athousandyoung saidHe wasn't a Christian and neither was anyone else at the time, he died 40 years before Jebus was born, so what's your point?
Don’t be silly.
Luke 2:1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.
Caesar Augustus was a white man. Right?
Your reasoning is really scatterbrained.
@yo-its-me saidDive was mocking politically active right wing USA Christian Republicans. Obviously he shouldn’t be taken seriously which is why I ignore his post but JJ was totally serious so I responded to him.
I guess the real question is what is divegeester's definition of white.
@athousandyoung saidOh I see, I wondered if Dive had something he was driving at.

Well they do attract mocking.
That's nice that you try with JJ, I think JJ's gotten muddled with 'no white people in the Bible' and 'no while Christians in the Bible'.
