I read posts here that call different things, "harmful to humanity."  Others call something, "good" or "bad" or "evil."

A very simple question, who gets to decide the definition of  "harmful to humanity" and what is there critieria? The same for "good," "bad," and "evil?" These are not material terms. If everything is material isn't there just "is" and not these moral declarations if one is being thoroughly atheist?

Help me understand your position so I am fair and honest about the views. Thanks.

I will acknowledge the great advantage white skin has given me.  I also recognize that people who looked like me, and some of my own ancestors, behaved in unjust, greedy, barbaric ways toward every group and culture they encountered, who had something they wanted.   Even if I  personally was not involved, I know that the abuses still benefit me, and still continue to harm brown people around the world.  What we need to admit is not personal guilt, but that things are still not fair, and that both overt, and subtle racism still affect our attitudes.  We are mistaken to pretend that everything is fixed now and we are now on a even playing field.  I don't think that is true yet.   

where in all my responses (except when personally attacked) did you see me accuse anyone PERSONALLY of being a racist?  I spoke of European culture, its Memes, DNA, Essence, whatever you wish to call it.  That is the problem, how you were trained to think and are continually trained via academia, media, social groups, etc. How you resist looking inward and truly examining how you see the world. That why I have a fondness for atheist (see i left the "s" off atheist and also that's), at least they can think outside the "box."

You are a rabid troll and I, like several others on this site before me, will now stop engaging you. Good day.

@Arcus - Now you're starting to get it.  "Don't feed the troll"  LOL

Some people just can't take a hint.

In my humble opinion this is about your own views and not others. This question can be incorrectly answered no matter what the answer contains. Completely regarding each individuals personal preferences, sexual preferences, desires, ideological views, means of wealth and or poverty.
