B) You just don't want to admit that you are justifying your own racism by saying "well, everyone's racist, so it's ok if I am." and not actively trying to, you know, not be racist.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

I don't think anyone has ever called you racist here

I think I stated at one point many moons ago that he was unknowingly a bit racist in the sense that I suspect most people are at least a little bit racist on a subconscious/instinctual/conditioned level and he's been running with it ever since.
I see... I chimed in a conversation from many moons past that I don't know if I was even around for so that's why I didn't know what he was talking about on that...

Well one person insinuated one thing once so clearly it's a battle cry to be carried through the ages.

You'd think he'd be above such a liberal snowflake tactic.

you have to let your paranoia ripen into a full blown persecution complex before you can manifest it into savantism so that you can achieve total recall of everything everyone ever posted about you ever....

From the Washington Post, for those who enjoy subtle jabs at Trump even when he does something universally praiseworthy:

Freed Egyptian American prisoner returns home following Trump intervention

Quote:
An Egyptian-American charity worker was freed and returned home to the Washington, D.C. area Thursday night after spending three years in an Egyptian jail over what human rights groups say were bogus charges.

An attorney for Aya Hijazi, 30, thanked President Donald Trump for helping to secure her release.

"First and foremost, there have been countless number of people advocating for Aya Hijazi's freedom," Wade McMullen told NBC News. "I think Trump and his team deserve credit for making this a priority at the most critical time in her case."

You didn't, but Pleebo did. Multiple times.

Which is who I was arguing against. That you chimed in on.

Ramy has. Multiple times.

Lakshmi.Flavin said: »
yet you still get up in arms over things like that even though your only association to the word is that you're conservative and people have generally called conservatives racist?
I'm calling them out on their ***. Liberals are equally racist (BLM, Al Sharpton, most colleges, etc.) but yet, they think it's not only acceptable, it needs to be advanced further. Because feels.

Lakshmi.Flavin said: »
I don't know why you even listen to the crazies and even more so get all worked up about it...
Honestly, if I was as worked up on it as you infer, I would be protesting.

Posting on this website is not the same as getting worked up on it. Sure, conversations are escalated here quite often, but the level of escalation never exceeds being an armchair analysis.

The tipping point by Malcom Gladwell is the book I was talking about yesterday...
I already read it. Don't agree with it, but I have read it a while back.
Point being that I didn't... again you're attributing another persons remarks to my person...

Personally I don't think racism is a liberal or conservative thing it's just a problem we have... the only thing I ever really see here is that some of the more conservative posters like to try to deny it exists on any meaningful level which I personally disagree with...

Protesting what? Hippies calling rich people evil? You may say you don't get work led up about it but you sure do bring pretty pointless stuff up to justify your viewpoints...

I guess we will disagree again on that point... it's an interesting read regardless..

Personally I think some of you are so tied up in your own self worth and value that you're not able to have an objective discussion regarding this topic as it always seems to come back down to you personally... for saev he just assumes everyone on the other side is somehow poor or a failure and that's why they're taking that side oh and that all liberals just fail lol...

a little bit racist

that's because, like a lot of people, you confuse predjudice with racism...

when/if you get a chance to listen to real racists talk about racial supremacy...you'll quickly realize nobody is a "little bit racist."

you gotta go full skinhead moron to achieve those levels of idiocy

To point out that you seem to over react to things that aren't even personal attacks on you... like something hippies in a puddle said or that some liberal somewhere called conservatives racist so you try to use that like all liberals are calling all conservatives racist... you use ridiculous things like that as talking points and it really does come off like you're taking it personally...

This is absolutely false and shows your complete ignorance to the issue... not talking about it is what lets it fester and grow... not showing people that's it's wrong is what allows it to continue on... the solution is exposure... instead we tend to voluntarily segregate ourselves...

People who may not experience it much in their lives the to write it off as a nothing but it is still a very real issue...

Oh they go full retard quite often, then resort to name calling and personal attacks, which they then attempt to use to escalate and get their targets blocked. I like to poke fun at their religion and will take every opportunity to do so in full public view as a demonstration of the double standard they impose, yet the progressives on here will take this ***personally.

So, North Korea has threatened the US with nukes or did I read that wrong?

If they were to launch a nuke on us, the NFU gloves come off and we could retaliate....with nukes.

Right?

The point is that neither side is doing a good job of making "racism" fade. Ignoring it won't make it go away, but neither will weaponizing it.

The best they could do is hit a country closer to them (South Korea, Japan), but even a legitimate attempt (successful or failed) to nuke an ally would get Kim Jong Un vaporized.

I won't argue with you on that point but I don't see how you can infer that from the statement that was made...

Let's talk about this

Quote:
Historically, white supremacy has venerated the idea of objectivity, and wielded a dichotomy of ‘subjectivity vs. objectivity’ as a means of silencing oppressed peoples. The idea that there is a single truth–’the Truth’–is a construct of the Euro-West that is deeply rooted in the Enlightenment, which was a movement that also described Black and Brown people as both subhuman and impervious to pain. This construction is a myth and white supremacy, imperialism, colonization, capitalism, and the United States of America are all of its progeny. The idea that the truth is an entity for which we must search, in matters that endanger our abilities to exist in open spaces, is an attempt to silence oppressed peoples.

Objective truth must be ignored because it is a tool of white supremacy. Good god kids these days are dumb and entitled. Libs are literally starting to think reality (truth) is a social construct.

Higher education centers are becoming outright dangerous. I fail to see how anyone can see any value in sending their kids brains into this kind of mental blender.

Oh, we never adopted an NFU. Lol

Still, with NK threatening ***it wouldn't surprise me if they tried. Though it's more likely that they are just bluffing but eventually they are going to get tired of being a joke and actually do something.
