I made a pressure flaker out of a stick, a little wood glue, and some copper wire. Still gotta make the other tools and learn how to use them but it's a start. Made some simple toys for my kids with wood and parachord.

Same I use the forum a little here and there but a mod with a short fuse usually kills any forum.

Isn't the term derived from "whip cracker", referencing slave drivers? So basically the term is synonymous with "fascist"?

Treating people differently because of their race would be a generalized definition. A more classic definition would be similar to patriotism (I dislike that definition too lol). Holding one's own race as superior to others (usually in the context of white supremacy), and other races as inferior.

From my perspective, us white people are genetically inferior to the groups of indigenous Hunter/gatherers but that's likely another conversation by itself.

I agree mostly with the article. It did, however, feel like their definition of racism is a conglomerate of systemic racism and prejudice rather than a generalized definition. Once I realized what they defined as racism I had to agree. Do yourselves a favor and don't read the comments on that page, racists didn't like the article and guess what they resorted to! That's right! Hate speech! Big surprise.

The comments seemed more interesting than the article but it's interesting either way.

I've always disliked the idea of "tolerance" of each other. I like "acceptance". You can accept everyone. Even people one may dislike can be accepted as such lol
