Oi. Dummkopf.

How does your weird arse brain conjugate mixed people's ability to say the word or not?

This should be hilarious.

TLDR version:
Are we equal or not?
If yes, should we be treated equally or not?

Longer version:
Historical context? I’m not sure where you get this stuff, but I’m going to guess that you have gotten your talking points from some liberal arts course that attempted to define terms for the purpose of controlling dialogue about it…for political gain. Talking about race is a socio-political tool that is unfortunately tied to money and control.

If such dialogue were more honest, we would be talking about skin color rather than race because there is no means test for race. This is why you have chosen (possibly because of talking points fed to you) that race can simply be determined by how someone chooses to identify. This seems to mean that all white people can now be black and vice versa. If that helps racism go away, let’s go all in. Can we be race fluid too? How about we just get rid of that damn demographic checkbox altogether?

The industry can’t let it go away because it is profitable. They can’t use science to sustain the industry because there is none. We can identify our likely ancestry from DNA tests, but that gets complicated because unless people come from some tribe in a remote rain forest, every generation of humans has some degree of genetic diversity. So we use skin color as the determining factor to assign something we call race. You might think bone structure plays a role, but science says no LINK

Talk about race and racism really comes down to one thing that everyone should be able to agree on - the foolishness of judging people based on skin color. But rather than address the core issue by taking the position that everyone should be treated the same, race hustlers and race baiters have found a way to monetize the topic. To sustain the revenue and influence, they cannot let people be treated on their merits alone. They have to sustain the industry because it pays.

Sustaining it requires changing the dialogue. This is why there is an entire industry built on sustaining the dialogue. They employ verbal slights of hand and changing definitions, many of which you have gleefully exhibited. The training programs (they call them educational programs) embrace the strategy of creating even more race hustlers. I can tell you are a graduate of such a program. Your strategies are obvious to people who have been targeted by race hustling salespeople.

It may be time for you to recognize how your core beliefs have been bastardized by the divisive race hustling industry.
