I have to say, I am a big animal lover myself. I have spent a lot of time around animals, and I don’t think I have ever seen cruelty toward any. I know there are some things you can and should never condone. But I have to say I am so glad I am not a racist.
I don’t know if there is a word for it, but I could imagine you might be wondering if racism is a bad thing for a person, or whether animal cruelty is ok? There are a lot of reasons to be concerned about the latter. I am a black man, and I have experienced a lot of cruelty toward animals. I have seen people who have been cruel to animals. But I have never seen racism towards animals.
Racism is not a bad thing. At the very least it doesn’t get you fired from your job or harassed in the streets. It’s something that can happen to people who are different, but I don’t think it is inherently bad. It’s just another way of thinking about the world. You can still have a good relationship with someone, or you can have a bad one. That same person can still be a good friend or a friend with benefits, and a bad one.
A lot of people complain that racism is being used against them. I disagree. I know that some people are racist, but I think that there is a difference between racism that is being used against you (or against someone you are in a position of power over) and racism that is used against someone else (or against someone you are in a position of power over) and is not inherent to you but is something that has been done to you.
The difference between racism and racism that is being used against you is obvious when you look at the kind of racism we see in the US and in other countries. This is because racism is a cultural norm so when a person in a position of power does things against your culture such as murder, rape, or doxxing, they are still considered racist. But when a person in a position of power does the same thing against someone else they are not racist.
The difference between racism and that of animal rights is this: Racism is a social norm. Racism is not inherently bad. It can be right. It is a choice made by people in power. The use of the word “racist” is a way to signal the difference. Racial violence is something that is done to people by people in power.
One of the reasons we call the use of the word racist is because animal rights are based on a similar understanding of the word. In the animal rights movement, they are not referring to the use of the word. This is because they define racism as a social norm. A person who is a racist is not a person who acts out of racism. You can’t be a racist and make racist gestures.
This is not an unreasonable point of view. Of course, we should not be making arbitrary distinctions between people. We don’t need to make the distinction between someone who is a racist and someone who is a racist. But we do need to recognize that racism is a social norm and that people can act out of racism without being racist.
Animals are living beings, and they should not be treated this way. People are just people, and we should treat them with respect. Some people even think that animals are the same as humans, but they are not. People are different, and animals have the same basic needs as humans.
Animals can be treated unfairly. Often, it’s the people who think that animals are “more” than they are who cause the most harm. It’s hard for us to understand how many terrible things happen to animals, but we can help by raising awareness and educating people about the harm that humans can do to animals.
