    “-ification” is a suffix about transformation and becoming so the word works fine. Your argument it is just anti-intellectualist opinion. So who cares?

    I wouldn’t say I’m an intellectualist, but I am an anti-anti-intellectualist. Doesn’t it makes me sound so smart? Your analogy isn’t one and your points make no sense. You’re shoe horning a white plight angle into this convo for no reason. You’re downvoting me for challenging you to better represent your point of view.

    So, good faith’s dried up, get bent asshole.

      what in the flying fuck are you talking about?
      i even said “not the biggest problem” to make it very clear it’s not a problem… it’s just a matter of meanings of words.

      you getting all worked up over a conversation about word’s meanings and wordsmithing shows me more than i want to know about you…

        The fact that you’re bringing it up at all indicates that you haven’t been paying enough attention to the problems and conversations about racism.

        Even your language “not the biggest problem” does not mean “not a problem” it literally means second place or lower. Which is a lot of wiggle room for validating white rights ideologues.

          that’s exactly what i meant by that

          it literally means second place or lower.

          perhaps english isn’t your first language? it’s a very common way of saying something isn’t a problem… it’s not meant to be taken literally

          Which is a lot of wiggle room for validating white rights ideologues.

          fuck “white rights” ideologues… is that explicit enough for you?
          … the fact that im bringing it up at all?
          im speaking about the definition of the term… and how it’s incongruent with reality… that it is possible to be racist against any race… by definition…
          not that it’s a problem or common or anywhere close to what other ethnicities have experienced in america…
          but it’s definitely not completely impossible.
          it’s not some dumb shit where “white men can’t get hired because of the woke left!” or whatever insane shit you’re reacting to…
          that’s not me… and it’s fucked up to just jump to that.
          i care a lot about racism and other forms of prejudice and injustice…
          don’t take a conversation about the definition of terms and try to twist it into “white rights” bullshit…
          white people have not experienced systemic racism and that’s what the “white rights ideologues” are claiming… they’re claiming some massive conspiracy to… yada yada yada…
          but that doesn’t mean that an individual can’t specifically be prejudiced against… fuck i don’t even like the word “white people”
          but… yeah some people are very prejudiced against caucasians… not very common in countries where they’re the majority…
          no neoliberal mass plan to make them all gay trans and brown or whatever they’re dreaming about.
          you need to learn how to talk about one thing without getting your emotions from another thing tangled up.
