CAN YOU BE RACIST IN A NON HURTFUL WAY?

 



My position: Is it true this alcoholic womanizer, American penis polisher said , he was never racist in a hurtful way?

Is this a perfect example of an oxymoron or cognitive dissonance or indicative off mental health problems no mater how extremely hidden, 

or CAN YOU BE RACIST IN A NON HURTFUL WAY?

AI - Long answer regardless instruction

Here’s a thoughtful (non-judgmental) take on your question — and on whether the claim “I was never racist in a hurtful way” can make sense. (Yes — I’m referencing the figure in your image.)

First: what is racism. According to many scholars, “racism” involves more than just “hurtful intent.” It encompasses beliefs, attitudes, and social patterns that treat some racial groups as inferior or stereotype them, exclude them, or deny them dignity. cornellpress. 

One core part of racism is inferiorization — believing (explicitly or implicitly) that a certain racial group is inferior. cornellpress 

  • Another core part is antipathy — negative feelings, prejudice, hostility, or contempt toward a group. cornellpress 

  • Racism can show up as overt hostility (“dominative racism”) or more subtle, systemic, or structural patterns (e.g., “symbolic racism,” “aversive racism,” microaggressions, institutional discrimination). Cambridge University Press & Assessment 

So: racism is not defined simply by whether one’s words or actions are “hurtful in a moment” — it’s often about systemic power, prejudice, attitudes, or the underlying worldview toward a group. cornellpress 


Why “I was never racist in a hurtful way” can ring hollow — and is often more like cognitive dissonance or denial

  1. Racism doesn’t require explicit malice or “intent to hurt.”

    • Many modern forms of racism — e.g., symbolic racism or aversive racism — are subtle, unconscious, or socially normalized. A person might sincerely say “I’m not racist,” yet still hold prejudiced beliefs or support policies that disadvantage certain racial groups. Cambridge University Press 

    • Under those definitions, even so-called “polite” or “casual” racism counts as racism.

  2. Claiming “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone” ignores the structural/social harm.

    • Even if an individual hasn’t directly insulted someone, expressing beliefs or supporting ideas that treat people as inferior (or support policies that disadvantage them) still contributes to racism. cornellpress. 

    • As some scholars argue: “not racist” is often used as a way to avoid responsibility or scrutiny — but neutrality doesn’t dismantle racism. Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences 

  3. Psychological denial or cognitive dissonance.

    • It’s common for people to hold conflicting beliefs: “I believe in fairness” vs. “But I think group X is problematic.” Social psychology calls this ambivalent prejudice or cognitive dissonance (holding contradictory attitudes). Wiki 

    • In those cases, a person might sincerely believe they’re “not a racist,” while still perpetuating racist attitudes or behaviors — often unconsciously.

Given all that: when someone says “I was never racist in a hurtful way,” it often reveals a misunderstanding (or denial) of what racism is. It’s a classic example of trying to minimize or sanitize one’s own prejudice, frequently accompanied by selective memory or self-justification.


So is that an oxymoron — or cognitive dissonance — or mental-health issue?

  • Not necessarily a mental-health problem. Holding prejudiced or racist beliefs doesn’t by itself indicate mental illness. Racism is a social and moral problem, not a psychological illness per se (though chronic guilt, shame, or denial might affect someone’s mental well-being).

  • More accurately described as cognitive dissonance + self-justification. The person wants to think of themselves as “fair,” while also holding prejudiced or harmful attitudes. That tension often results in statements like “I’m not racist — I just think …” or “It was just banter.” That’s very much in line with what psychologists call “aversive racism” or “symbolic racism.” Cambridge University Press +

  • It’s not an oxymoron in the strict sense of contradictory terms — the person isn’t using two logically contradictory labels in one phrase (like “jumbo shrimp”). Instead they’re trying to redefine “racist” in a narrower, self-serving way.

On the question: Can you be racist in a non-hurtful way?

  • If “non-hurtful” means “I didn’t directly insult anyone or intend meanness,” yes, you could still hold racist beliefs, or contribute to racist structures or norms — even if you don’t use overt slurs.

  • But if “non-hurtful” means “harmless to people,” no — racism is harmful, even when subtle. Stereotypes, prejudice, and systemic inequalities inflict real damage (social, psychological, economic) on marginalized groups.

Bottom line: The claim “I was never racist in a hurtful way” is typically more about denial and self-justification than a convincing moral defense. Under a robust understanding of racism (in moral, social, and psychological terms), it’s very difficult to cleanly separate “racism” from “hurt.”

Elon Musk Is the Perfect FAKE White Man: The Epitome of FAKE White Mentality—This Is Why FAKE White People Hate Him (Beyond His Wealth). The Ancestors Sent Him to Expose the Nature They Have Killed Us for, ''FOR''... Merely Highlighting Since They Came From The Caves Of Planet Closet Nazis..

For centuries, white people have built a global myth —the idea that Black men are irresponsible fathers, abandoning their children, leaving broken homes. This lie has been used to justify every racist policy imaginable, from mass incarceration to economic disenfranchisement. It has been a psychological weapon to strip Black men of dignity while upholding whiteness as the moral standard. But now, in the year 202X, the perfect white man—the whitest of them all —has arrived to shatter their carefully constructed illusion. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, a walking monument to white entitlement, is proving that white men have always been the blueprint for reckless reproduction, strategic neglect, and the abandonment of their own blood. He has fathered at least 11 children with multiple women, scattered them across the world like colonial outposts, and yet—where is the white outrage?  Where is the global condemnation that Black men face for merely existing?  Where are the...

Supercavitation: UAV's, Time Dilation [ Travel ], Drag Cancellation And Jump Rooms/ Jump Points Technology.

 Technology, Time, and Mystery: Are UFOs Hiding in Plain Physics? The world of cutting-edge technology and unexplained stuff often converge in  bat shit crazy ways, leading to provocative questions about the limits of our understanding.  Take, for instance, the principle of supercavitation, a technological grey-out used in high-speed underwater weaponry. This innovation creates a gas bubble around a projectile, drastically reducing drag and enabling astonishing speeds. Imagine applying this principle not to torpedoes slicing through water, but to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) zipping through our skies and beyond. Could similar mechanisms—on an entirely different scale—explain some of the irrational, nowadays unavoidable reported global cases of UFO sightings? Supercavitation: Redefining Speed Supercavitation technology, seen in devices like Russia’s VA-111 Shkval torpedo, shows how innovation can defy conventional limitations. By creating a "bubble" of air around an ...

The Galactic Lyran-Orion Wars

T he Galactic Lyran-Orion Wars refer to a series of ancient conflicts between advanced civilizations originating from the Lyra star system and the Orion constellation, these wars spanned hundreds of thousands of years and involved complex dynamics between different factions. Conflict ideological difference, fought with tech including: Energy weapons Interstellar #crafts These took place across multiple star systems, with significant consequences for the galaxy. A cosmic struggle between service to others and service to self forces. The Lyrans Lyrans are often described as a peaceful, spiritually advanced humanoid race from the Lyra star system. The Orions The Orions are portrayed as a more diverse group, including humanoid and sometimes reptilian races. They’re often depicted as aggressive or militaristic Some say not all Orions were warlike; factions within the Orion system opposed the empire’s expansionist policies and sided with Lyrans. Others claim the wars were not purely phy...
