CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
There's nothing to say that they haven't learned it. If you're a child and all you see every day are white people, white people become the norm. That isn't to say children or babies who spend most of their time around white people are racists. A baby doesn't consider black people inferior as a race, nor do they harbour angst, aggression, or hatred for black people. They simply gravitate towards what they know and understand. If you expose a white baby to black caregivers, the baby will not respond the same as a baby who has only been exposed to white caregivers.
Looks like we have killed the Left's claim that "racism is taught. Children learn it. They aren't born that way." Of course that might explain why they call Conservative blacks "Uncle Toms". They are mad that the black man didn't fall in line.
Nope. In fact my own kids are in a day care with mixed races and pretty much everybody plays nicely with everybody else.
Furthermore, kids are nervous about pretty much anything new to them. Put a new food in their lunch box and they'll probably eat everything else first. That doesn't mean they hate what they didn't eat yet, just that it's new to them and they're kids.
Hatred by babies, or of babies, in either case, really doesn't exist. There is simply babies still getting used to their world, as well as whatever that world is exposing them to.
Nope. It can't be done. You know I have a mother and you know realities do not manifest from nothing. That cabbage smell is from a placebo mental reaction you are having by remembering your last girlfriend. She was a baby goatling. Remember?
Nope. He created our concepts of time, matter, and having a mother. All things exist where he is at with no beginning or end. They just "are". But only he can manifest them because he is the highest possible being in that infinite set. You on the other hand need a natural answer, rather than a supernatural answer. So give us the family tree of infinite causes in atheism.
Racism isn't born into a baby, it's developed. When babies start to get used to their environment and the world, then the signs of racism begin to show.
Children that young are not capable of major autonomous thought. They'll naturally be attracted to things that they are familiar with - which obviously means black children would be more afraid or reluctant of white children, and vice versa. It could be considered a survival instinct... afraid of strangers, loving of trusted and known people.
Being afraid of the unknown doesn't mean you hate the unknown. Once they discover it, they relish in it. Racism is most certainly taught - attempting to argue otherwise is attempting to justify it.
Not really. The left has been teaching children to hate white people for a while now. I'd blaim it on baby bigots rather than indoctrination if I were you.
No. Bigotry is a taught. My children play quite nicely with the other kids at daycare. They don't care about gender or skin color, they only care about which toy to play with and when.
They can certainly be suspicious of change or different things but not at the level of being labeled a bigot.
No Mint Tea. I would know too. And as far as I am concerned, you weren't there, I was, and that Muslim? Giggled and squeeled like a schoolgirl. Make sense?
I don't believe you even exist. You are simply a cat pawing at a keyboard randomly and getting lucky to type out coherant sentences. I am MintTea Agnostic.
