With joy..
Before I go on, I feel the need to point out the irony of this statement. Later in your post, you attempt to point out a logical fallacy in one of my statements (and openly so), yet your first statement after agreeing to the proposed definition of "racism" is the most clear example of the argument from ignorance I have seen in a while.
Very well.. I can play the fallacy game too.

argumentum ad ignorantiam
None of which you are apparently willing to mention. |
Because my subjective rationality for my statement doesn't need to be mentioned as it is not part of my argument, it is simply an irrilevant opinion.
Do you wish me to explain my opinionated statement? I can..
Do you believe my opinion needs to be argued objectivly? If so, why?
If not, why bother pointing it out?

bluescat said: in other words if a person attaches a group name to any group of humans he is a racist. To be a non-racist he would have to agree that all humans are the same, which they are Homo sapiens

Now.. I'm not seeing where your contention with my statement lies..
Care to point out where "To be a non-racist he would have to agree that all humans are the same, which they are Homo sapiens" is clairified to fit your views?
I freely admit, my understanding of things is certainly not absolute and I very well could be in error.. Simply stating so does nothing, where is the part I have missed?

And would also be another complete non sequitur.

How? Explain how a colloquil slogan emphasizing celebrating diverisity of all people over ignoring differances is a non sequital statement in a discussion over ignoring diversity in favor of "agree that all humans are the same"?

I'm guessing that since you are so angry and irrational and incoherent on the subject of race, you're a racist. 'Cos no-one but a racist needs to be so irrational and incoherent about this subject.

1) I'm not angry. Remember what they say about assumptions... Any evedence to support your claim?
2) I fail to see how I am being irrational, do you have evidence to support your claim, or is it just conjecture?
3) Incoherent? Once again, I must ask if you have evedence to support your claim, or is it just conjecture? You seem able to understand my post just fine.. At least enough to complain about its context.
Now, the "coup de grace" based on (as of yet unsubstantiated) conjecture, and (also as of yet unsubstantiated)direct attacks on my character, you make a bad argument and conclude I must be a racist..
I'm going to assume this was meant either in jest (a sense of humor is always welcome, in my book) , malice ( childish and sad..), or somewhere between the two.. Because I honestly don't believe you would make such an idiotic argument in all seriousness.
All the same.. Your argument fails
