Oh please, the idea that some black people are promoting an "us-against-them" mentality has long been a scare-mongering tactic for the radical right. The fear that "they might do the same things we're doing to them if they get power".

Ditto women, who of course want more rights than men.

Ditto atheists, who want to ban religion.

Ditto homosexuals, who want to attack marriage.

Ditto liberals, who want to enslave everyone.

What a sad fearful thing so much of conservative thought has become. Reduced to a tedious grind of saying how horribly oppressed straight rich white men are, how they feel so under threat because occasionally someone calls them out on their bullshit, and that's not something they're used too.

Gets a little tawdry, doesn't it?

...Nobunaga and his "Phatt" bromance? The tension is positively scandalous!

Wait, were you being sarcastic?

Cos I was running with the sarcasm thing.

I didn't see anything in either of their posts accusing any minority group of some vast consipracy.

I did see a critique of political correctness, I suppose.

I guess my response to you is that if rich white Christian men were so awesomely in power, why would they have to invent angst about minorities? Wouldn't they just be like "meh, whatever" and move on? I don't mean to give credence to racist conservatives, but your post seemed fairly angry what with the list and all.

The point is that there should not be separate definitions, separate standards, separate classes, separate rights, separate benefits...ie the Progressive agenda and their perverted views on "Equality". They have set us back 100 years already

I find it atrocious that someone can write something racist, and then we defer to the color of their skin to figure out whether what they wrote was to be applauded, praised, and promoted....., or to be lynched and witch hunted out of their job and be labeled the most hated person in America and post their address on twitter with the message of "GET EM!!!!"

... You gotta' back that up with something, Sym. Two people agreeing to something that you cannot agree to equates in your mind to what?...

... Quick question. Do you believe blacks, Asians and Hispanics should be held to different standards than their white counterparts when taking tests or applying for jobs? Do you think a minority author has the right to pen hateful speech simply because said author is not white?

... That seems to be your position.

...

You don't seem to have a strong understanding of what the world was like 100 years ago. Do a little research.

I don't want to ban it. I just want them to keep their religion out of our laws.

Heard of the knockout game that targets white people? And this is past 'promoting', white people have been killed.

You are clueless to the point you have no business talking about race or racism to anybody.

what % of Atheists would you say share your views? I know it's not 100%, but you seem to speak for the overwhelming majority...


What reason would you have for saying such a ludicrous thing, other than that it happens to agree with what you want to pretend is the truth?

If you knew me better you'd know that I rarely speak for the majority. To follow the majority is more often than not to be wrong. When you follow the flock you're not thinking critically.
Besides, If the majority is right, there's no need for me to speak my opinion. If a cause is both popular and logical then it doesn't need further endorsement.
What I like, is to find something that is unpopular but valid. An "inconvenient truth" ;)

Black actress causes fire storm for expressing support for the "white" candidate, which somehow has made her "the most controversial person in America"?



She got a call from Paul Ryan!

but where are the racist attacks coming from? Why are there racist attacks at all?

Why is there so much pressure from a certain community against Stacey to oppose the very essence of REv. Martin Luther King Jr's message??

Saw this today. Just shows that people are racist regardless of their political leanings. Closest thing in Canada would be a francophone Canadian voting for an English Prime Minister.

There is?

Are you trying to say that people are NOT racist regardless of their political leanings (which is also true)?
