The terms "white" and "black" used to represent races are inherently racist

No worries: I'm part ukrainian and part russian. Ok so lets start off the debate. Before i begin I'd like to do an off time road map. I will be going on case and providing 1 ad. Time starts now: Thanks you opponents, thank you peanut gallery. Today's resolution is as stands: "The terms 'white' and 'black' used to represent races are inherently racist. Definitions: "white": represents the american, european, etc "black" represents african americans, nigerians, etc. racist: a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another Background: Racial prejudice is a thing that occurs everyday in people's lives. In social media, economic disputes, sociological affluences all have a link to racial prejudice. However, the terms "white" and "black" are inherently racist. When someone refers to someone as "black" this provokes a deep rooted set of psychological ideologies which prejudices that person into one side. Think about when these terms were coined: during the slave era. During this era, christians, who had disavowed christian slavery were suddenly faced with a dispute: african american slaves had to be allowed for there to be a sufficient amount of people to harvest crops and do work labor. Since they needed these slaves to do the massive amount of labor, Christians had to turn to an alternative; to represent africans as not being equal to americans/europeans, resulting in the 3/5th compromise. This would provide the loophole to allow slavery and keep christians happy. Unfortunately, by them passing this decision, this lead to a century of racial prejudice of african americans by not being fully human, only 3/5th of one. During this time is when the color difference kicked in. The americans/ europeans were referred to as "whites" and the african americans were looked upon as "blacks". Since then this term has been continually used, to no avail. Point 1: Using the term "white" and "black" is blatantly racist. According to a study done Jacob Hills, a sociologist from Columbia, The term "Black" is a racist term to use in modern day america. This color coordination portrays europeans as the complete opposite of african americans. White and black are complete opposites on the color scale, which is what is implied when a race is addressed with it. In everyday tv shows, the good guy is portrayed in white, and the bad guy is portrayed in black, this further demeaning african american prejudice. This sort of portrayal is so embedded within our mind that its is impossible to be rid of it. The simple fact that 76% of people arrested are african american is not a coincidence, it is a direct representation of this "white knight versus black night" event. If the negation tries to bring up any evidence that the white knight is better because of non-prejudicial ideals, then the negation is linking into a white supremacist ontology, which would undermine his entire case. Also, the color representation is morally wrong. If I were to be an extremely tanned man, then why is the term "black" not used on me? Why is it limited specifically to african americans, and not other race? In americans, the rate of unemployment is 6.6% however, the rate of unemployment for the african americans is 13.4%. That is DOUBLE the amount of unemployment in africans rates compared to americans. What happens when, instead of becoming enraged and shocked every time a black person is killed in the United States, we recognize black death as a predictable and constitutive aspect of this democracy? What will happen then if instead of demanding justice we recognize (or at least consider) that the very notion of justice-indeed the gamut of political and cognitive elements that constitute formal, multiracial democratic practices and institutions-produces or requires black exclusion and death as normative?
