It makes you wonder which century we really are living in when you still have racist fanatics.
No, seriously, because racism in western societies was created in the 17th Century by the Greeks who associated the colour black with the devil and evil. We all know racist arguments are ridiculous and based on ignorance anyway, but why not clinch the deal just how laughable racism really is with some more arguments against it.
1. Racists today claim for example black people to be inferior etc, etc. The racists don't have a reason for this, it just is. Premise: all racists believe in the devil if they really are the racists they claim to be. Why? If they claim their beliefs to be something else than a coffee break around a kitchen table with a succession of nodding heads and mutters, they should believe in the devil - after all, the colour black was associated with him.
2. All racists should have Greece as their favourite place on earth since that's where western racism originated. Indeed if they are as strong in their beliefs as those following religions, shouldn't they be going on yearly pilgrimages to Greece to celebrate their ideological ancestors?
3. Racism originated in Greece, thus, you would assume the majority of racists should still be in Greece, but they're not.
4. All racist factions must surely have the following membership requirement to be able to join them. 'that the members are not blind from birth' If they do not ban people blind from birth from joining, they are then claiming blind people can see, more importantly, that the blind people can tell skin colour through hearing, touch or some sixth sense.
5. That they have a valid argument against the premise that racism is not limited to the physical boundaries of the cerebral cortex, but is anchored to reality even in the face of the following situation: A highly prominent racist faction leader is still racist if they suffer severe trauma to the brain rendering them firstly, unaware of who they are anymore, secondly, their acquired knowledge during their lifetime is erased, or lastly they are in a vegatative state unable to communicate.
Finally, the most simple argument against racism of all, how do they account for the rules of physiology in terms of skin pigment being the relative hues they are?
