The (logical ?) conclusion that you arrived at after your "therefore" doesn`t seem logical to me at the time of writing this post.
Perhaps this could be due to our different "realities" at this moment ?
Maybe you have your own meaning as to why I currently don`t see it the same as you ?
Whose ?
It isn't about, "who."
What is "it" about ?
(And what is "it" ? )
It is about: "what."
"It" is "what."
What has decided that for you(/everyone ?) ?
Those only exist in subjective reality.
In objective reality there is only the "what."
Denying that "it" exists doesn't make "it" go away.
However, it does make you ignorant of the "what."
How do you know this ?
How do I know what?
How do you know that :
In objective reality there is no "whose?" or "whom?"
Those only exist in subjective reality.
In subjective reality there is only the "what."
Denying that "it" exists doesn't make "it" go away.
However, it does make you ignorant of the "what."
Can you be more specific?
Hopefully this will help...

Well it depends what you are talking about. If you are talking about measurable things (e.g. this person has darker skin than that person), you'd be right. However, that is not meaning - it is an observation. What it actually means, is socially constructed.
Might this be a lesson to us all...
I`ll do my best.

(In the fifth line the word subjective should be objective; it should read: in objective reality there is only the "what.").
If the correction doesn't answer your question then: because the words objective and subjective mean just that.
That's a pretty extreme, radical and inflammatory claim, but I haven't seen you back it up and that doesn't surprise me.
"Darker" means dark or dusky or black; that is it's "meaning." And you are right, that is an objective observation even though it is based on the relative spectrum of color that we have been given.
People want a "real" discussion about race; they are sick of pretending that it doesn't exist.
You seem to have some kind of paranoid fantasy, that all people in the World who dissent from your paleo-politically correct views, all come from the same place.
(and why the need to put 'real' in quotes? It implies that you're not using the word in a literal sense, which is kind of a contradiction)
As I said, people are tired of pretending it doesn't exist; they want a "real" discussion, not a "pretend" discussion. Since you asked, the quotes were added for sarcasm.
