It's Dalamon. Everything white people do is wrong, and everything everyone else does is relative and shouldn't be judged.

naw, that's racial prejudice. Not racism. It would have been prejudiced if he said that, and bigoted.

it's a well-acknowledged, necessary element of racism, my friend-- particularly in many contemporary sociological circles who examine this phenomenon for a living.

especially white music. Sheesh. Thank God for black people. Can you imagine popular music if it was just made by white people?
Classical and country music. Two worst genres of music out there.
And here comes the appeal to authority. Didn't take you 5 minutes.
If you can't support an argument logically, then confuse it with semantics.

I could go through their arguments, and illustrate why they're better than your stances-- but I really don't have the time to do that right now. My appeal to authority isn't being used as a way of just shutting down opposing opinions-- it's just a way of saying "look, I'm not saying the moon is made out of cheese. There's other people who believe this as well, and they come with professions of respect". Of course, the proper way is then to go into each argument and illustrate why they should be respected-- but I don't have the luxury of that time right now.
The semantics stem from an argument of logic.

It's a liberal construct. Power is not a necessary element to racism. An individual with no power whatsoever can act in a racist manner, and to suggest that they can't is utterly ridiculous.
Please move this to the general discussion. I haven't read all the post in here, but going to assume the quality is that of a general discussion thread.
I highly doubt you can illustrate the superiority of your position. After all, you mentioned it a few months ago, but back then you added that "many scholars believe this, but I don't necessarily agree with it". As astoundingly self-assured as you have recently become, I doubt a few months of experience equipped you to so easily dismantle the opposing argument.
Again, doubtful. I am thoroughly familiar with your position. You're completely close minded on the subject. In fact, your perspective on the issue is as narrow as Archie's is on Islam. Incidentally, your perspective on Islam is fantastic, and you managed to completely turn me around on the subject. Now apply the same logic you have on Islam and the forces of history that got us here to "white people", and you'll be set. Because as it stands, the arguments you use are not very different from the fascist perspectives of the far-right on non-whites.
Edit: Blunted the edge a bit since I actually like you.

Making a joke about the intelligence (or lack thereof) of a black person is never appropriate. It seems you need that clarified.

Sadly, alot of comments reflect the usual double standard.
He says it, its a joke. We all should know that.
A white guy says something, its insensitive.
Such an obvious double standard, but the best part is the denial of it.
I could care less, it doesn't offend me in the least. What does bother me is how this tiny example is played out daily in our society now. Not debatable. But "they" will anyway.
