Have you heard of a country called "South Africa?"
Institutional racism
Toyota incentivized their dealers' discriminatory practices. They might not have said "charge more for black people," but their complicity is indisputable.
Try to make a point when you post.
sounds more classist than racist. You seem to have jumped further than your logic supports.
bear with me I'm not from here. What I'm driving at is short of revolution to start from scratch as a means of erasing the previous structure
Though not all of what the commentor wrote was great, the main idea I think is worth considering
Whatever man. You're free to leave the thread if that's how you feel
diffusion of responsibility? Because something acts within a system its also responsible for all of its errors? I can follow your logic, but I can't follow it to whatever solutions or judgement you may have for it. Its a Japanese company for crying out loud. Am I supposed to infer that they are in bed with white supremacy across the pacific?
"Institutional" and "systemic" racism are terms used by liberal faux-radicals to pretend that their struggle is grounded in a structural understanding of society as a whole. They usually don't have anything of the sort, since to understand how racism is upheld systemically you have to understand that it is grounded in economic reality. This is impossible for them. They're too uncomfortable identifying capitalism as the problem.
They like attacking individuals for their alleged biases. They fail to address the illness itself. Biases are symptoms more than causes.
Revolution as the solution to all problems might be the anarkiddie approach, but it certainly isn't Marxist.
Good fucking god, the ideology
Yeah, but let me guess that oppression (despite the mountains of evidence we have given you) doesn't exist today? Fuck wit.
Elaborate
That's not what revolution entails in the least bit. "Starting from scratch" is nothing but reactionary idealism.
There isn't any main idea. It's incoherent rambling.
Toyota is responsible for Toyota discriminating against people, yes.
Why wouldn't they be? The Toyota board of directors isn't effected in the least bit. To the bourgeoisie, racial issues like that don't matter. They're bourgeois, not "Japanese." Racism is just a tool to extract profit, just like it has always been.
I think watching you make an absolute arse out of yourself will be more interesting.
