The racist tree did not evolve socially, it just made the pact to appear not to be racist so that
it wouldn't be ostracized. That's the joke-ish message at the end: that racists are still being
racists, just that they are socially forced to leave their ideologies. But not inside. So social
progress is not really something you force. It is something people grow to learn and understand
in time.

the children considered the reasoning faulty because it was a non-sequitur - what does being
black have to do with giving apples? after being further pressed, the tree simply stayed
steadfast in its decision, meaning the tree refuses to provide actual logic beyond "no apples for
blacks.". thus, there's no other answer but to either not bring sam to the tree anymore or not
acknowledge the tree, and because they dislike unreasonable intolerance more than they like
apples and playing, they do the latter.

contrary to popular belief, many people actually care about other people even though there is no
immediate personal gain to be had; they're usually known as "friends", but friendly feelings can
be expressed even without non-personal relationships. the children evidently considered sam a
friend because they brought him to the tree that they loved so much and wanted him to have one of
the apples that they enjoy.
because the racist tree didn't want to provide an apple, the children felt that, even though
there's no direct effect toward them, they care about their friend enough to be willing to
support him by treating themselves as equals to him and not taking an apple.

that's true, the racist tree was kind to them, and they did treat the tree as a friend by asking
it why it won't give an apple to sam instead of just turning their backs on him immediately. but
the tree refused to speak about it at all, so there was now an intractable difference between the
children and the tree. there could even be new reason to question the friendship as well - did
the tree only like them because they were not black? - but that's irrelevant. the only relevant
point is that the children were left with a decision: support a longstanding friendship with
someone who is illogically and (to them) revoltingly offensive, or stand up for what they feel is
right.

he doesn't have to defend anything, legally. he has the right to not give apples to anyone. but
the children want to be friends with people (and trees) that aren't morally repugnant - which is

One thing I'd like to note. While I'm not speaking out against the idea that blacks aren't dumber
or worse in any aspect by nature, even if the tree thought this way, it really wasn't an excuse
to deny the apple.
I doubt a young child would shank or otherwise harm the tree, and it seems silly to think that
he'd deny dumber children apples. The tree is behaving in an irrational way in it's hatred of
Sam. And while it certainly has the right to refuse apples to anyone it pleases to, the children
have the same right to deny the tree their business.

Um, it was the tree's apples?
The tree owned the apples, therefore it is his/her/it's right to deny them with or without valid
reason.
Remember, this is different from a job application, it is not a public service, no tax monies are

But there are concrete reasons do dislike idiots, they're dumb. Even if blacks are dumber, more
likely to commit crimes than the other children, those hardly apply to a child. Hell, the tree
would be assuming he was one of the majority of blacks who are that way, though in this case,
that might be a safe assumption.
Also, why hate a dumb person, especially a dumb child? If their lack of intelligence is harming
something, sure, withhold the apple. Sam, dumb or not, had done nothing wrong except being black.

you guys keep basically saying the tree doesn't owe anybody anything, that's obvious. there is no
compelling moral force demanding the tree to do anything - god isn't coming down and telling the
tree to be reasonable or give the kid apples.
this story is about society and the free market. it's saying that people are free to hold any
beliefs they want, even if they go against societal norms, but that society will reject them if
they feel that it's sufficiently serious as a result. if the person with unorthodox beliefs wants
to be a part of society, he must act the part. that's it. the "social progress was made" was a
joke about how people think social progress works (people gradually get more progressive) rather
than how it really works (society shuns them until they give in). sheesh

I guess my bigger question in all of this is "Why are people racist?"
Not racist in the sense of "I believe blacks (or whoever) are genetically inclined to be less
intelligent than whites," because there is some evidence for that.
But still, why should we hate black people because they're dumber? If that were officially
acknowledged, what would happen? Obama would still be President, he isn't dumb, but even if he
were, you can be dumb and president. All I can think of is that people could say that and not be

Reminder that not all Progressives are bad. Theodore Roosevelt was a Progressive, for instance.

Full disclosure:
Where I live, the black people are on student visas where its just a pretext to commit crimes and
smuggle drugs into the country. They are also predominately muslims.
As much as I want to love everyone, you can understand how and why this is hard to do right?

My beliefs? I'm a mostly typical Democrat, farther to the left that the main party (I think
Obamacare was pretty weak), but not as far as reddit and Daily Kos (I think capitalism is a good
economic system, and that Occupy Wall Street had a vaguely decent idea and then killed it). As I
said, I work for my county's Democratic Party - I managed one of our house candidate's field
offices this cycle - where I work with a lot of reddit-esque people, which even gets on my
nerves. I'm a political organizer by trade though, and if it ever gets too bad, next county over
there's a nice, socially liberal Republican congressman where I can run to.
I try to avoid the general online model of liberals/progressives ("Obama for dictator!" The NDAA
was inexcusable. "Womyn for overlords!" I'm not that inclined to work against my own interests.)

Now, I guess, I'm not really inclined to be anti-racist, as much as my job'll let me.
At the very least, with stuff like >>1846782, I know where they're coming from. I live in a place
where mexicans would be a more likely problem, but they're fine to me.

You managed to break the 100 replies barrier, all with intelligent, rational and level-headed
discussion about a very controversial, problematic and trouble-making theme.
In fact, this may be the first time such a long discussion about such a troubling subject has
been held without turning into utter circlejerk was ever witnessed in the history of mankind
You're the best, /f/aggots. I love you all

No, those are the Daily Kos-liberals. The dyed-in-the-wool morons who seem shocked that anyone
could disagree with them.
Apparently, I need to join the Tea Party because I don't think Stalin was a very good person.
(Not making this up, really weird college kid called himself a Stalinist, and defended the guy.)
As for libertarianism, I would much rather see the Republican party be run by the likes of the
Pauls and Gary Johnson. Hell, when it comes to some things (Defense, the NDAA and maybe the Death
Penalty) I'd rather have them.

To be fair, besides the whole Gulag thing, Stalin was a hell of a leader. He found Russia with
pitchforks and frozen soil, but when he left they had heavy industry and a stockpile of hundreds
of atomic bombs. Say what you want about commies or dictatorship, the guy got shit done.

Oh, definitely. I was judging his character, which to me, was affected by the Gulags. I won't be
taking any apples from the Stalin tree.
The ironic part is that his only criticism of the man was that his improving of the economy led
to the collapse, so Stalin should've sent 'em to the gulags, and made the country worse.
Morons, I know.

Yeah, plenty of college kids act like that. I'm pretty far to the left too, by US standards at
least, but saying that Stalin was anything short of a power-hungry sociopath is ridiculous.
