Decent advice, kdawg. Are you planning to do that in this thread, or was that just a general comment directed at no one in particular?
-
Oh my. That sounds like it would make a good story for reddit.com/r/justnomil

This isn't a debate, it's a magic show. This is the beginning of the trick, where I offer your mind to the audience to show them that there's nothing inside.

"Calling me privileged is just as bad as racism." Nice save, I almost didn't see that one coming! Thor, I'm sorry, but you have been born too early to win this round of Oppressed White Man. Please try back in 20 years. No, that's kinda wrong of me…

It isn't a failure that your mental and emotional well-being made it difficult to help other people. But you should be ashamed that you have now taken up the cause of telling other, less apathetic people that they've got it all wrong because you nev…

Ohhh I edited my comment right after Thor added that last post! Snap!! Thor, it's cool. You already admitted you freed yourself from care because everyone sucks. What Kelsey said is that you were able to abandon the social cause you took up because…
-
I do appreciate your frankness, @Thor... "I don't care anymore" is better than playing dumb. I'd say that, for you, activism was like a volunteer activity that you'd add to a college application; something you could do to make yourself look well-r…

*deleted because even that was too snarky for me* As you may have noticed, I'm frustrated and emotional. I'm angry that half of you want to argue about what racism is. I'm angry that you think that white America just needs to be treated with more r…

I mean, this thread is really disturbing. At least with the GOP, they just come out and say it. With self-identified progressives, it's "aversive racism." That's when you don't see the problems of racism because your parents thought it'd be best to…

As always, it seems (to me) like we should drop the name-calling when we're talking about politics - just not even speak in terms of who is racist and who isn't - and simply talk about policies and actions. Does *this* policy impinge on the rights …

What's the advantage in discussing white supremacy? Nothing, if you're white. Racism is bad, but talking about it is impolite. So when your sweet aunt Dyanna says something you know is wrong, you smile and nod. But if I say "wow, that was really …

That Patton Oswald video sucks! He wants to appear to support identity politics as long as it doesn’t inconvenience him. "Ru Paul got in trouble for saying 't*****.'" WHOA PATTON. Ru Paul is not a transgender woman. Ru Paul is the stage name of a ci…

I guess hearing that guy [from the Youtube video above] tell me to be nice when I explain reality to him made me decide to communicate my disagreement with his moral position in a really blatant way. You might think that is rude, but if you had an h…
-
Wow, that was really, really bad. @Thor, I don't know how you got through red-faced, screaming Fauntleroy even once. It was like having my amygdala tortured with fire ants. But, in the interest of discussion & persuasion (tm) I watched it a few …

TWDW Too white, didn't watch lol I'm trollin' Seriously though, what does he say? You have to editorialize it in some way
-
Kdawg, thank you for the great celeb gossip.
-
:-D that felt good
-
People like that think racism is like... a type of exotic dog sub breed. "Oh that's not racism, look at the ear shape. The tail is also 5 degrees too high. NEXT!"
-
Oh why don't I go learn about how racism is a false flag from this white guy. Even though he's white, he knows what's up, because he uses the only tool that is pure from the influences of racishism and gender politics and all that stupid crap... LOG…
-
You have too narrow a view of what racism is; of all the root causes you're naming, none preclude it. Honestly, I think some of your specific assumptions are off. I.e. White women and people who vote for Obama can't be racist. I'm a white woman; in …
-
I see, so you just aren't comfortable with acknowledging that all white people, north, south, east, and west, are deeply ingrained within the system of white supremacy, no matter if we personally intended it that way. It is very uncomfortable to rea…

But the country didn't become more racist since 2008 creating a couple million extra Republican votes. This is 100% wrong... that's what I'm trying to say! Like... that's what this is: http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/12/hate-crimes-soar-across-the-us-a…

I like Tiger Tiger on Williams.

Sorry--I don't remember what I was replying to before! I wish UHX had threads B-)

the next 20 years or so there will be Trump copycat politicians who will drum these bigots up to this extreme degree every election cycle Yes. But the sorrowful thing is, "these bigots" is a number that increases exponentially. Here's the plan: in…

Maybe I am mis-reading the situation but it's hard for me to see how. No, ma'am... you're a doctor!!! Don't downplay your authority and knowledge. YT, you're not wrong and you're not crazy--people like us need to get a way bigger attitude about …
-
Apologies bc I'm like a day behind lol Facetweet I guess I'm wondering... why bother with making this argument? Why do you think it's important to downplay the influence? Why should I think of white supremacy a red herring? In regards to your comm…
-
I don't disagree with you, kdawg. I think what I'm getting at is that good old American white supremacy should never, ever be underestimated or downplayed. Let's not try to count how many angels can dance on the head of a pin; let's look at the elep…
-
I had a chat with someone I know today, someone in a position of power... he is really a "personal responsibility"-focused dem. He believes in education, funding for social programs, arts, acknowledging climate change, etc., but he still has a kind …

" I don't think white supremacy had an impact on this race" Ohh boy. What are you talking about? I'm not saying it's the only issue, but it's in all the issues... it's an emotional motivation that adds energy to any factor you want to name. Latino…
