Aside from the initial definition I already posted?Alternative word. Surely you agree that the definition I posted defines a concept? If you don't want to use the word 'racism' for that concept, I'm asking you for some other word you do want to use for it. One that is in the dictionary, naturally, since you insist on that. We need a word for the concept to be able to discuss it, you know. Is a collection of words acceptable? If so, "Systematic disadvantages of (insert preferred racial/ethnic group here) in (insert state/society here)" is a far more precise term that accurately conveys what you're talking about at the cost of being long-winded. If you're looking for a single word, then no. Complex concepts such as the systematic disadvantages faced by blacks in the United States can not be condensed into a single word without eroding some measure of nuance. I'm only one man.

Aside from the initial definition I already posted? My problem with this is the motte and bailey discussions. I personally prefer stating exactly what I mean, such as "institutional problems black proletariat/lumpen-proletariat faces under US society" rather than racism to avoid connotations of a KKK actively going after blacks because of bigotry. I understand that some may find that approach a bit pedantic, but it's just the way I think and speak/write. No, my motive is to steer this thread into a discussion about the failure of capitalism and the glory of socialism.

Interesting read, although I tend to question it's own bias considering that virtually all, if not every example given seemed aimed at portraying white people as guilty of some form of racism. ... Still, even so I don't really see why I should accept your "dictionary definition" over the one that KaineParker offered. Hells, I think I'd argue that if someone had bothered to prune the one you offered of it's rather obnoxious racial overtones the two don't really seem that much at odds, if at all. Although I did give this a "like" because I tend to agree with the sentiment in general; at the same time words do have meanings and in this very thread we've been told things like ... "You can't be a bigot if you defend gay rights.", which is something that I do take umbrage towards in addition to simply being flat out silly and wrong. The reason I gravitate towards using only dictionary definitions is twofold. 1. They provide a unified source of common knowledge, and as such can be used to ensure communication is understood. 2. When using words with multiple meanings(or changed meanings), it is easy to find yourself arguing against a motte and bailey( see here for a better understanding: http://blog.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/2014/09/motte-and-bailey-doctrines/). For example, Socialism is defined as collective ownership of the means of production in most dictionaries. But socialism has also come to mean "government spending on welfare programs" in US politics. This leads to problems identifying someone as a socialist, as by one usage of the term implies that everyone in favor of some form of welfare is a socialist, while another requires the belief in collective ownership of the means of production. While there certainly can be some overlap here, they are certainly not mutually inclusive positions and it can cause confusion in communication.

Ohhhh... One of those "only the dictionary matters" people. How adorable. I think doctors and various other specialists will be disappointed to know that all that useful jargon they've created is actually meaningless babble. People redefine words all the time. The inability of some people to accept this, but only when it's something they disagree with, is very amusing. So you don't actually have an argument. Can't say I'm surprised. Cute. Social justice advocates often use definitions of racism that include power in some fashion. What is there to argue? Then they're using "racism" incorrectly in the same manner teabagers incorrectly use "socialism" to describe government welfare programs. If you're going to use a word bother to use it correctly.

The dictionary defines racism as: 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2: racial prejudice or discrimination Sauce: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism There is nothing in there about "power" being a requirement.

Son, I'd say your trolling needs work but some folk did take the bait.

Cod-piece revolver or bust.

https://archive.today/l4m3N They say it's now illegal to use celebrities photographs in a meme when it has nothing to do with the celebrities' personality.

The real issue with Rand isn't her politics, it's her terrible writing.

Like Milo could ever be a straight male.

Check your privilege, you white cis-het ableist scum! I'm disabled. :U OH WAIT IMSORRY, I'm a person with a disability. Almost offended myself there. You've internalized ableism. Also, watching Laci Green? Why torture yourself man!

Patriarchy is convincing women to do all the work while we stay at home and drink. Well played patriarchy, well played.

Because it accurately describes who we've been opposed to for (at least)the last 8 months? I do admit, whenever I see another self-hating white male nerd I must laugh at the cuck. Anyone else pick up on how SJWs are composed of the groups they dislike the most?

For the most part, I find Wizards are best off using debuffs rather than direct damage in PoE. Not sure what the rest of you have experienced, but for the most part I ind Wizard spells to be underwhelming in terms of damage.

Disclosure of any potential coi.

I think the level cap is too low for the amount of content in the game. 15 would have been a better place to cap IMO. And Twin Elms seemed smaller than I expected. Guess Eora just isn't very populated.

1 to 100.Better encounter design so battles aren't rinse and repeat. Really ****ed up there Obsidian.

When I first googled the name, I thought it was Jim Sterling in drag and I was looking at an elaborate joke. As to the prevalence of MtF trans, I have no idea.

Daredevil, all 13 episodes. Thought the very end was a bit bland, but otherwise a good watch.

To reiterate, IE mod. Console commands are enabled without disabling achievements. All of you should be using it.

In my experience(sill fairly early), PotD is quite a bit up from Hard so changing the difficult could be what you need to keep a more consistent difficulty.

I'm in agreement. I post while between classes and while at work and sometimes make spelling mistakes or errors that I am unable to correct due to the time limit.

What kinda artifact we talkin bout here? Stats will do.

*looks up who this Anna Antrophy is* .... ... .. . . .
