Racism is born of fellowship.

Show the flaw in fellowship.
Given that we say we accept that we are all intrinsically racist, it's hard to follow your line of thinking that says we don't. Perhaps we're not racist after all?
Then we have this fellowship thing. It's a good thing; we need more of it. In fact we need to expand fellowship to the entire human race, not just our family, friends, tribe and football team. The world would be a better place with global fellowship.

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London. Olen Suomi Soy Barcelona. I am Ukraine.

I agree.
We all have to embrace all colors and creeds and become one race.
You have better eyes than mine to have seen some admitting to being racist.
They are mostly defining it wrong and objective when it is subjective.

It doesn't happen in a vacuum. Positive discrimination automatically comes with negative discrimination.

Because we live in a society and dividing a society up into separate tribes who discriminate positively for their particular faction (and hence against all the other factions) can only result in the destruction of that society.
And since we all depend on that society and its stability for our survival, taking actions which weaken or threaten to destroy that society (and hence threaten our own survival) would very clearly be wrong. And extremely stupid.

Lynching, another positive discrimination for whites.
I have benefitted my whole life from white privilege. In my adult life, once I understood what white privilege and systemic racism were I have apposed both in every way I could think of.
Tribalism is a threat to civilization and species survival.
Cooperation of the whole human species (as unlikely as that seems) is the only thing that can save life on this planet. Unconstrained population growth, resource depletion, insect apocalypse and looming ecosystem collapse, and oh yeah, global warming have most likely sealed the fate of planet earth. Microorganisms will be fine but that's probably it.

Indeed.

Ending fellowship to end racism would not be mankind's best move.

There you go thinking small again.
Think larger issues and not just individual instances.
Please do not try to put words into my mouth.

To unite us all is a laudable goal.
Good luck for the next generation.
This generation may not have the balls to do what needs doing.
As long as we evolve, we will compete in various ways, as we seek the fittest of us.
What is stupid is that we are not acknowledging our fittest and brightest and giving them power.

See my last post and do not live by wish list.
We all want to rule the world, but none of us want our freedoms or liberties touched.
Wish that stupidity away.
In human terms, using the word freedom is stupid.
We cannot be born tree as we are born tribal.
End tribalism, fellowship created, and you extinct humanity.
Socrates would be laughing about freedom. Who would make your shoes was his reply and says it all.

So you ARE saying that extreme and bloody racial violence is justified by your Nazi philosophy. You're saying you support bloodshed and violence against all the peoples your perceived racially superior type find as enemies.
You are a sick individual. You are one of the people who needs to meet the guillotine when the revolution comes.
