Quote:
I would argue there ARE differences between "races" in humans that cause population-level differences in behavior that are inherent to the genetics of that population. I don't however, believe that any one race is superior to another - to me that is what a racist is, not rejecting the notion that every race is 100% identical.
And regardless, I believe the many people who love to toss around the word racist in 2018 are actually implying one believes a CULTURE is superior to another CULTURE, not a race

While certainly racists do believe in your first statement, with all due respect I think it is not valid. Your second statement here is more on the mark. And I would argue that we as a collective society made up of all these different cultures need to work together towards a revised social contract of what behaviors are and are not acceptable. Black gangbangers are just as unacceptable in our society as the white-run meth labs in central Illinois. A lack of black children growing up without positive parental figures is just as unacceptable as the white father who beats his wife and children. To me, those issues are the same, and they reaffirm the cycle of violence and poverty.
