royal blood is one of them ideas even worse than the notion of race

[mangamadaiyan]

I used "royal blood" to mean that she was in some sense privileged -- nothing more.

Bad turn of phrase, I guess.

Is classism not more real than race?

[lcnPylGDnU4H9OF]

I mean, classism is about as real as racism but I don't know why one would ask about classism vs race. Class is about as not real as race; they're both things that people made up to justify their disrespectful behavior towards others.

[octopoc]

In what way is race not real? Race is determined by DNA.

[Log_out_]

race as an idea is a societywide royalty of blood, which is why its so widespread in failed democracies with despots."We are all zhar/oligarch/king" and those not from here are the serfs.its the very same idea just bastardized.

Yeah...Declare one person special by birth, and suddenly everyone remotely related claims they're elite too, spreading hierarchy through society...:-)

I recognize only one sovereign:...The Burger King

[snapcaster]

Long may he reign

My heart aches for you. As does, no doubt, your stomach.
