The point was to turn a non-racist statement into a racist one by using the reactions of people who have nothing better to do than decide everything in their life is based on race. People who saw that and decided it was racist are a large part of the problem in this stupid era of racial tension. I won't say they're anywhere near as bad as the white nationalists, but they're certainly not good for the health of the nation.


But like, that's not what's happening here. Not even close. And while people like that may exist, it's certainly not a large proportion. You instantly jumping to it indicates to me that you are playing a particular political point here, like one of those silly anti-sjws.

Are you talking about right at this moment or back at the start? Right at this moment, yes, it has unfortunately turned into an undeniable slogan. Back when it first became a thing, it was literally nothing turned into something by the instant reactionary nature of today's media.

The statement itself is entirely neutral

Context exists. It's what makes communication possible. Pretending it doesn't exist doesn't help anybody.

The context is that it was a series of papers posted on doors with a completely neutral statement. It is such a benign statement that it should be impossible for it to be seen as offensive. The budding racial divide in the country should have had no effect on that statement whatsoever. The fact that it was deemed as offensive shows that there is something very wrong with the current political climate and something very wrong with the people who have since clung to the statement.


When something is clearly used as a slogan by white nationalist groups to insinuate their message without directly saying it, people who insist on the literal direct translation are a bit suspect, tbh.

Currently, yes, but not when it was first put up. There were literally people saying the message itself was offensive. That is the problem. It's the kind of thing that should have been simply taken down and just remained a local talking point in a sane society. The people who instantly jump on the racial bandwagon act as fuel to the racists. It's not their fault that racists exist and propagate, but the do not help the situation at all.

It was a phrase literally created to imply something else. Pretending like the implication doesn't exist makes you seem suspicious.

No, it is simply 100% not. The context was added by the people who see race as the defining part of existence. That was the bait, and they clung onto it almost instantly. There were right ways to react and wrong ways to react, and they chose the wrong way. It would be one thing if people were commenting on the physical posters themselves being a tool, but they chose to react to the statement and only the statement.

I'm talking about when the sign was first put up the first time. Literally nobody should have reacted to it because the statement is true. By reacting to it at all, they have turned it into its current state.

you are implying that it was a neutral, contextless gesture the first time. it was not. pointing this out is not what prevents it from being neutral and contextless.

The statement itself is entirely neutral. People reacting to it in such a way is the problem. They fell completely into the narrative that the people who put them up were hoping for.

Because no woman should be forced through anything to get an abortion. Full stop.

And how many do you think rush into it without even truly thinking it? A google search shows anywhere from 5% to 30% come to regret it depending on the bias they're trying to push. I think taking a second to sit down and reflect on the reality of it is a good thing. It's ultimately her choice, but it is not a choice that should be made without some kind of reflection.

Everyone is held to the same standard. Nobody has control over how anyone pays attention to them or interprets their words. I dont think anyone would defend Trump as a well spoken person, but has not actually encouraged violence and anyone who says as much is just following the same tired narrative.

It works in small scale, self-sustaining communities and cannot be applied to anything larger than that. You need close groups of people who know each other so there is an impetus to provide for one another and less chance personal desires will get in the way of the larger community. You need a small number of people because it can only sustain a certain type of lifestyle. It will never work on a wide scale because it assumes humans are generous and complacent with the bare minimum (or way less than the minimum any time it is put into practice).

Considering we have stupid things like people losing their ability to vote without their knowledge or consent because of "misspellings" that may or may not be their fault, the last thing we need is for people to start saying that you somehow aren't actually a citizen because your parent's name was wrong or something stupid.

And you can try and fail to paint me as being "overly emotional" because I know Republicans like to think of themselves as "completely logical and fact based rational people", but that doesn't change the reality of you guys being too afraid to tell people who are the children of illegals that you don't believe they belong here or are actual citizens.

Again, please use actual facts. Show someone here saying it should be applied retroactively. Any minor who has legal citizen parents can be granted citizenship under those parents.

You're making a semantic based argument because you know how bad it would look to tell legal citizens they don't count and should be deported. Likewise illegal immigrants are, as the fucking SCOTUS has decided, protected by the Constitution. You do know that, right?

Because if the kid is granted citizenship but not the mother, people would be crying that the child is being ripped from his mother if he alone was able to stay. Setting a precedent based on feeling for one sob story case is a very bad idea.


Assume the mother is Dutch and then try not to drown on your tears

What? What is with people assuming racism when someone isnt a bleeding heart? Its illegal vs natural/naturalized. That has nothing to do with race.


People here on a visa are legal.
People here who are permanent residents are legal.

And if it truly were about legal vs illegal then you guys wouldnt be trying to end most ways of legal immigration

Why are you jumping around in the topic of conversation? This would do little to affect legal immigration. People who get citizenship get citizenship for their kids basically automatically if they are under 18.

He will most likely be in due to the mii costume in Smash 4. If not for that, I would say people are delusional, but Sakurai has hit two of the biggest most wanted already on top of that costume being in the previous game.

Is there a reason youre skipping the other two examples? The children in those two are granted citizenship upon the parent becoming a citizen.


Because they quite literally have nothing to do with a child being born within the US. If you're born in this nation, you are a US citizen. Period. If you want to change the Constitution, you need to go through the proper channels, not a shitty EO written by that douche bag Stephen Miller that won't hold up in the courts.

I feel like you are massively confused. Were talking about they hypothetical where that is no longer the case. The entire point of that link is to show that two people here on a visa who have a kid and then get citizenship would not be affected. The only people truly affected are illegal immigrants, which doesnt really matter. I dont believe it will actually be changed, but I think changing it is a good idea.

A quick search on google shows: https://www.murthy.com/2011/05/27/derivative-citizenship-children-of-naturalized-u-s-citizens/

That seems to show the parents getting citizenship makes getting children citizenship easy, if not automatic. Is that site somehow wrong?


Did you even read your article and see in the example this line:

Mr. and Mrs. Smith were born in the United States and, thus, are U.S. citizens.

Is there a reason youre skipping the other two examples? The children in those two are granted citizenship upon the parent becoming a citizen.

Either get citizenship legally or dont come at all.


Being born in this nation legally makes you a citizen. Period.

And it honestly shouldnt. It only applies to people here on vacation, people here on a visa, or people here illegally. The first two have no need for their kids to have dual citizenship. People here illegally dont need any kind of extended rights like that at all. It would likely lessen their desire to come if they know that any child birthed here would not be granted citizenship without a parent with citizenship.


Youre not too bright, sorry.

People on a visa may become citizens later. But if their kids were born before the parents became citizens and reach certain age then the kids will NOT be citizens and will have to leave.

Its a terrible inhumane policy. But hey, go white power right?

Then go through whatever process needed to get them citizenship. People on a Visa can plan for that ahead of time and work under those parameters. What does this have to do with race? Do you think only non-white people come here legally and illegally?


THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THEM CITIZENSHIP.

Thats what birthright citizenship is for. But you and the very fine people want to get done with it.
