I mean, America is trying to move away from racism but it absolutely was founded as a racist state. I recall reading the first laws on immigration limited it to whites.

Edit: I didn't read the whole of the first option, but I won't change my answer. There should be two "Yes" options: one that says the US was founded on racism and racism is still a major idea and one that says it was founded on racism but things have changed. As it is the poll is flawed.

Sure, I'm a human, that's why I have the "other" option. I just have one view on this topic, and wasn't sure exactly what other people might think. I just had a rough idea.

Those two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Can you explain what you mean more precisely?

Laurel, Gagium, Hindiabelanda

Freethinkers wrote:Those two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Can you explain what you mean more precisely?

It's semantics, but presenting a second idea with the phrase "things have changed" linguistically suggests an idea that is different to or the opposite of the first stated idea. So I'm not certain what isn't mutually exclusive.

Thanks for the linguistics lesson. I'm asking what that actually means, because "things have changed" isn't also an explanation of what you mean by that. Yes, things have changed, but how? Racism has disappeared? Racism is a smaller issue? Racism is still functional but not in an official way? etc.

It's variable, since it's hard to realistically make an absolute statement about it disappearing or what level has changed. The emphasis is that the culture and/or governmental directive has moved away from racism being a foundational aspect of the society and nation.

Laurel wrote:It's variable, since it's hard to realistically make an absolute statement about it disappearing or what level has changed.

So, like I said, given that it's ambiguous, the two choices aren't exactly mutually exclusive.

I don't understand why you reacted with sarcasm/annoyance when I asked what you mean. Or maybe I read into it?

I think you read into it. Although for ease of explanations in the future, do try to explain *why* you're reading an alternative interpretation. I can't adequately explain if I don't know what you're missing.

The whole thing was ambiguous, which is why I asked for a general explanation of what you meant, but then was given a lesson in "linguistics" as if I don't understand English.

So maybe you can see why that came off as sarcastic or irritated

Okay making sure you didn't find another user who was transgender and was transitioning LMAO

Also, I tend to, as I said in the post, switch back and forth between Presbyterianism and Lutheranism. Mainly because I am conflicted, because they both have points, and they both have scripture to back them up- it's a matter of interpretation. Do I wanna take it extremely literal, or do I want to fit everything into the bigger picture?
