Comments by "" (@Green__one) on "Richard Dawkins STRIPPED of Humanist of the Year Award" video.

  1. I watched the video, and you massively missed the mark here. You too refuse to actually discuss the issue that Dawkins asked about. You have asserted without evidence, that one immutable trait (gender) is completely different from another immutable trait (race). You read the letter talking about how we should discuss the content of his speech rather than attack the writer, state you agree with the sentiment, and yet completely fail to do so. By taking this stance, without any evidence whatsoever, you are no different from those seeking to vilify Dawkins. You have agreed that the question cannot be asked, and then only discuss whether Dawkins was doing so out of malice, or ignorance. Is it not even a little bit possible that neither is the case, and that the question itself could in fact be legitimate? If it truly is so blindingly obvious that there is no similarity between race and gender in this context, should it not be easy enough to explain why? Perhaps instead of discussing "why Dawkins made a mistake" we should be discussing whether it actually is a mistake at all! Just because the topic is taboo does not mean it shouldn't be examined. In fact the reverse is, more often than not, the case.
