I don't like that phrase. It _can_ be true, but for the most part, it is perfectly reasonable to get defensive when someone accuses you of something atrocious or speaks favorably about something you are strongly against. I mean, Brett Kavanaugh was well within his rights to get angry at the false accusation against him, but "guilty dog barks loudest" was used to claim that because he got angry he must be guilty. Or if you call a conservative Christian gay, it is in no way evidence that he is gay if he gets mad at you for accusing him of something that goes against his deeply held beliefs. Point is, "guilty dog barks loudest" _can_ be true, but is more likely a case of the person genuinely having a problem with whatever was just claimed, and not a sign of hypocrisy.

I will not exclude that there's a racial element in this, but it would seem foolish to rule out two factors which I think are dominating here: 1) A lot of police with lacking training. 2) The insane American gun culture. I think that in any country, if you injected that amount of firearms and the mentality around them and did an equal bad job of not training your police properly, you would get the same result - also without racism.

@Biggie cheese I'm a bit surprised that you can't see what gun culture has to do with this. And. Just to make it clear: I agree that abolishing the police is an insanely bad idea. In almost every single video I've seen where the US police shoots someone it's done in reaction to a person being arrested, resisting and creating a situation where the police can't be sure that the next thing to happen is not dangerous. A large part of this is because of guns potentially being everywhere in the US. To put it differently: NO ONE gets shot in Scandinavia for moving their hands the wrong way while being put under arrest, since the police don't have to worry about everybody having a weapon. - let alone an automatic riffle.

Don't confuse people's personal hate toward whites with institutional power. It wouldn't matter if every white person hated black people if black people were the major power holders in government, business, education, entertainment, and were 70% of the population. So even if every race hates whites, those races can't discriminate against whites in any meaningful way because white people hold the power in every institution in America. It doesn't matter if the NBA is 90% black if the owners are 100% white. The owners could fire all the black players if they wanted to. It doesn't matter if the President is black if Congress, the Supreme Court, and all the federal agencies are majority white. They could easily upend the president's agenda. Can black and brown people be racist? Of course ! But their racism doesn't affect much. It might hurt some feelings, but it won't keep white people as a whole in impoverished neighborhoods, with few opportunities.

I think there's some parallels in extreme, quasi-religious environmentalism. I believe that global warming is a real, human-made phenomenon--but I'd like to also point out how people tend to imbue certain strains of environmentalism with religious significance (not to detract from the issue, but to point out a sociological effect.) I'm sure this will get more and more common as decades roll on. A couple important things I've noticed: 1. Doomsday talk akin to a literal end of the known world (as opposed to rising and otherwise avoidable costs to global infrastructure.) 2. Some talk of "the world being better off without humans" -- as if humans are somehow alien to the evolutionary process of ecosystem domination, and they're negatively impacting something purer and better than ourselves. This also carries with it its own notion of original sin: original polluters. The only thing to do to contain your disgusting polluter ways is to accept the truth of your own inherent polluting ways. 3. Talk of "the environment" or "the Earth" not only as a shorthand for the ecosystem / planet we rely on, but with respect to some metaphysical other -- something that we ought to serve for its own sake, almost religiously. 4. Talk of humans as the sole things driving extinctions -- as if the planet hasn't thrown 99.9% of all species to ever exist into the wastebasket without us. This is another idea akin to original sin: original extinctors. I think a lot of these quasi-religious phenomena (communism is another great example in addition to anti-racism / social justice, and environmentalism) can be explained by the proto-religion theory. The theory postulates that all (or at least the vast majority of) humans have an inherently religious character, and this character expresses itself one way or another. If you don't supply it with an established religion, it tends to latch on to any other moral domain -- whether it's racial justice, economic justice, environmentalism, etc. I'm an atheist, but I'll be the first to say I think there's some credence to this view, as my own experience has been that my atheist friends have always been more at risk of this kind of quasi-religious craziness than my religious friends have been. There's other evidence too: most Communist countries presumably banned official religion in order to supplant it with the state religion, etc. The danger, of course, is that every "young" religion is way more likely to be violent than older, more established, reformed religions.

Yeah, I agree 100%. I once heard someone say that her mother told her that "god is nature." There's also when people say that "we should recycle more and use less" because it's "kind" to Earth" or "serves the Earth". Whatever that means. How it's possible to be "kind to Earth"? Has anyone asked what the Earth wants? In my school there are posters saying that you should eat everything on your plate because that way we don't "waste Earth's resources", but no explanation what do they mean by that. How much resources are saved? And haven't we always done that? It just used to be called "being economical" and "using money wisely", but now it's elevated to serving our planet, and being "ethical" and "just" and "moral". And then these same "moral" and "ethical" people half-jokingly say that all humans should be killed. While at the same time if you joke that all black people should be killed, you are condemned as evil racist. Drives me nuts. Either jokes like that all okay, or they are not. It just seems more and more like a religion. Same idea of "serving something greater than yourself." Same idea of "we are all sinful". The same idea of priesthood (activists in this case), who often hypocritically live their life opposite the way they preach. The facts that our lives overall keep getting better and better, are never or rarely told by the media. Of course there are real environmental issues, but like you said, nothing we do ever comes close to the powerful forces of nature that have shaped this planet for billions of years. Ultimately we are nothing compared to them. And if we want to survive them, then I think we need to cast off our superstitious beliefs. But then again, it's easy to forget how new and radical our modern way of life and ideas are. We still have those cavemen brains.

I think it was Paul Tillich who aptly defined religion as one’s “ultimate concern”.

There has been a similar argument for why atheists have to call themselves anything, but when something becomes so large in society that it is the norm, you need a label to distinguish yourself from it, or it will be assumed you are for it. If pedophilia was the norm and you didn't distinguish yourself as against it, it would be assumed you are for it, like everything else we go along with or fight against. I am not just none religious, I am anti-religion. Anything can turn into a religious-like cause, but it does not have to and not all anti-racists do that. I am anti-religion, anti-republican, anti-racist, anti-sexist, etc. Coleman does not get to decide that all who use "anti" are religious about it. Now he is labeling and redefining the meaning. "Anti" only means to oppose, nothing more.

Interesting analogy. I hadn't heard about "Ant-Racism" before this video, but this gave some intriguing insight. I can see how some may not like the analogy about christianity because they mat argue their religion is a cornerstone of their life and should be taken more seriously -- hence weekly observance of their faith. But a counter argument could be made that the discrimination someone faces carries a similar weight. Nice clip.

Bam!!!! People are prejudice and discriminatory by nature. But the people who point to everyone else's discrimination are the ones you really have to watch out for. You almost have to harbor deep prejudice in order to recognize it and point that out in others.

Anti-racism as opposed to "against racism", or "humanism". Less about making racism a universal thing anyone can be guilty of or can be held accountable for, more about condensing it down to one country (the USA), and something only one specific group of people in one specific culture can perpetrate against another specific group of people. The problem is that it absolves anyone else of the guilt of being racist. It accepts prejudice as an acceptable or permissable thing, it accepts tribalism or favoritism to one's own group as natural. It just perpetrates the cycle of history of people hating difference or implementing tyranny over and over again, even bringing back eugenics (the Nation of Islam were every bit as much against interracial marriage and considered people of mixed heritage less than human, just like the nazis or kkk did) as well as nationalism and segregation. I think the appeal is the dependence a percentage of the population has on tribalism and collective identities. People are put off by having to empathize or relate to people different from them, or the "threat" of abandoning collective identity in favor of individualism, where the taking down of barriers and limits terrify people. But we need to see it for what it is....... it's toxic tribalism, pure and simple.

I did not understand the relationship between the arguement and synthesis

I subscribe to Clifford Geertz's definition of religion. Based on that, I absolutely see anti-racism, socialism, and most every leftist movement as religious ideologies and their proponents as fundamentalists trying to build a theocracy.

This idea that anti-racism is a religion is now funny after a horned "Shaman" of White Supremacy was part of the group of armed Trump supporters who violently attacked the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. Why should I be concerned about the religion of anti-racism which seeks to help whites recognized that racism and discrimination exists (something Coleman actually agrees with), when state Capitol buildings all over the country are boarding up in fear of attacks from white nationalist militia groups. I agree with like 80% of what Coleman Hughes says. I would label a lot of what he says "progressive", but I don't know why he insists on courting the side that is celebrating the white supremacist ideology. I feel like whenever he talks he says things like "sure racism is a horrible thing and it has some effect on black America in the criminal justice system, but the term systemic racism is a way to forgive actual racists. Systemic racism is racism without the racists" which doesn't debunk systemic racism. It actually suggests whites are more culpable than most conservatives are willing to admit, but conservatives applaud and think he's giving them a reason for not feeling guilty about living in a society where life is clearly harder if you are black (another fact Hughes seems to agree with). Every time I hear him, he seems to largely agree with the Left, but criticizes the Left in some small way, and Conservatives just eat it up and slap him on the back and say, "he's one of us". I end up watching him speak, and re-watching it trying to find the part where he actually debunks Leftist ideas, but he rarely does. What am I not seeing?

anti racist complain abou racisim yet when someone witch is not white is being racist they dont care

Here's a great presentation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2aAo7qsmae4gLg.html

The problem is that racism must be clarely defined and the definition must not in any way be based feelings. In WW" the Us Military was segreaged, racist. In the navy Black men could serve in non combat roles, basically on board labour and servants. The reasoning was given that Black People do not have adequate night vision, of course this is the very definition of racism A trait that that atributed to a group and that differneces in rights and tratement is based on this attributed trait. in this case it was the attributed "bad nightvision" Now a totally different matter is when a group due a myriade of factors comes out marginalized comared to other groups, becuse now more factors play in and we have to look beyond racism. Furher more most claims of racism when confronted is "feeling based" in evidedence, this is always something someone with the wrong intetions can use. I debunk what you claim, or you failt to provide evidence and I have gaind a supporter to my "bad side" and you lost one from "the good side" here is a anectdotal story about why we need a definition of racism not based on feeling, but fact I was on a soccer game, the home team was leading. the home team had three black players, and the away team had one black player a sitation arose on the filed where the judge did something the home fans reacted to by making "ape" noises the away team player accused the home team fans of being racist to him by making ape noises When consfronted about why he has Decided and Chosen that it had to be directed at him, he could not answer he was then confronted by the home team black players that the "ape" noises were directed at the judge not him and if the home team was racist, then whydid they not make ape noises to them or dircriminate against them? the away team player simply responded with "I FELT it was little bit racist towards me" And there is the problem,
