if you could get rid of racism OR sexism, but not both, which would you choose?

this is a really hard choice, but I think I'd choose to eliminate racism. I think that historically, more severe harm (i.e., genocide) has been done in the name of racism than sexism.

Get rid of liberalism and you will damn near get rid of both.

Post by: miskie on March 17, 2013, 01:49:06 PM: Indeed - The extinction of Liberalism would go far to eliminate the other two.

Liberalism has codified policies that lead to enhanced sexism and racism by creating distinctive 'protected classes' of people, which always leads to conflict, whereas conservatism defines no such classes and bases the value, merit, and needs of every individual upon the individuals themselves.

In other words, primitives- If a person is a good person, they are recognized as such regardless of race, sex, or creed. The same is also true concerning bad people. Nobody gets any bonus points because of their ancestry or genetics.

8. OMG so ****ing alerted on it isn't even funny...

No WAY am I going to consider that a legitimate question - PURE DIVISIVENESS.

It is the world you want DUmbass.

6. To me, that's like choosing whether to die from ebola or bubonic plague

There are no good options. On the one hand, it's easy to lay the blame for genocide at the feet of racism. On the other, however, it could be argued that patriarchal societies breed conditions conducive to development of racist attitudes. In addition, sexism affects more people overall - more than half the planet's inhabitants.

I say tackle both at once. We're Democrats, after all, so we're good at multi-tasking.

Hey DUmmy in order to be good at multi tasking doesn't mean that you can do a dozen things in a half ass way, it means you can do several things at once productively. Looking at the resume of the democrat party and how many of their programs have actually solved anything, the resume is looking pretty poor, so I won't hire any. Yes it's true the GOP doesn't have a much better resume, but at least they aren't Marxists.

Sexism = Butthurt lesbos

The DUmp needs to discuss which is worse.
