And now AGAIN, you have provided an incomplete quote not including other usagaes for the word "race"... and yet in the very same link you provided one finds---
Again from the same exact link you provided under the heading of "Phrases Related to RACE"
And as to the previous incident I referenced it was an exchange between you, Solus, and another forum member who seems to have tired of your silly games under the poster name of "JOESPARKY". Is your memory so short?
speaking of silly games, which you seem to wish to engage in, as previously stated, solus quote: now freedomlover, if you wish to provide a specific instance where you believe i was deceptive
please provide a viable cite for me to review context and provide you or anybody else who might be interested, clarification unquote, as mr sparky, the august member from UTAH and i have posted numerous times over the years and we even broke bread together in the past, so if you could, you might need to be a little more succinct instead of such a broad generalization.
now i am sorry if you believe i am being deceptive towards you or anybody else, in the past or now or will continue in the future, however, lexicon derivations for words have been going on for centuries, that you might not recognize the use of 'race' has been since the mid 1930s, anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, ad nauseam, have been disavowing the term is not a representative term.
as in the current #metoo uprising outing those individuals who might have been inappropriate towards women years (read decades) ago the same occurred from the '30s, disapproval of the term gained significant notoriety after WWII atrocities through the '50s moving towards the new century, with the UN stating several times over the years the term 'race' was not representative of ethnicity all the while gaining more understanding through the '60s > and as mentioned dictionary's list previous word usages.
as mentioned in Wiki: "In his 1984 article in the Essence magazine, "On Being 'White' ... and Other Lies", James Baldwin reads the history of racialization in America as both figuratively and literally violent, remarking that "race" only exists as a social construction within a network of force relations: "America became white — the people who, as they claim, 'settled' the country became white — because of the necessity of denying the Black presence, and justifying the Black subjugation. No community can be based on such a principle — or, in other words, no community can be established on so genocidal a lie. White men from Norway, for example, where they were Norwegians — became white: by slaughtering the cattle, poisoning the well, torching the houses, massacring Native Americans, raping Black women.... Because they are white, they cannot allow themselves to be tormented by the suspicion that all men are brothers."
so like other idiosyncrasies within the English language, e.g., two, to, too; there, their, they're; winch, which, wench; it is up to the individual to discern on the dictionary's meaning and use credible understanding of how derogatory the word actually is in today's environment and communities...
(here is another perspective from urban dictionary for the term:
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Race)
if you feel slighted with your perception of my alleged incomplete definition, that emotion is completely yours, as i will not contribute to the continued use of a word which has such negative & incorrect connotations any more than i would use a well used negative term toward women ~ you, in your personal verbal & written communications may, of course, use whatever terms you wish to describe the women, people of color, ad nauseam, in your world.
added: FYI, freedomlover, i am no way responsible for Mr. Sparky's or charles, utbagpiper, piper's or any other member's decision to not avail themselves of this national forum.
you might visit UTAH's CC forum and discern when the last time either of these members have participated in their own state's CC conversations
