Well you're a Trump supporter so there's probably nothing that seems racist to you, unless it pertains to white people

So no surprise there

@Mal_Fet I don't think anyone is aiming for restrictions on speech.

Yes they are. Just observe the left's reaction when a conservative speaker has an event on a college campus.

Those people are wrong. Misguided.

Well yes. Are you willing to handwave all the actually racist conservatives too? Or are you only willing to give a pass to liberals?

They are wrong and misguided as well. Like I said earlier, these type of people who are quick to judge have a lot in common. The main difference is which side of the issue they stand on.

I submit to the sociologist definition of racism. Basically, if you use your power and prejudice to keep someone down/oppressed, then that's racism.

I think we found the problem.

What's the problem?

Because Conservatives believe in the concept of negative freedom as opposed to positive freedom.

Negative Freedom - Freedom is you being left alone. The only job a government should take on is to make sure you are left the fuck alone and nobody takes away your rights. It's a minimalist point of view, that people should be left alone for the most part. Conservatives tend to believe in this freedom, and that anything more than that is a waste of money and encroaches against freedom.

Positive Freedom - Freedom is the ability to be given the same opportunities as everyone else. Freedom means nothing if you aren't given the opportunity to actually make use of it, that some start off the "rat race" ahead of others due to basically luck. People who believe in positive freedom (typically liberals) tend to think the job of the government is to even the odds for everyone, give everyone a chance at the same lifestyle as everyone else.

These fundamental concepts are a major part of the ideological differences that exist between the two major political views in the United States. Also, the US was founded on the whole principle of not trusting government, so a lot of people just will never trust the government enough to let them have any modicum of control over things.

They seem racist, but liberals are racist.

Ah, this reminds me. I hate when liberals act intolerant of conservatives and vice versa. I try to tell people they are all acting like hypocrites. The only difference is which side of the fence you stand on.

I know it must suck coming up with excuses for your racism but no one cares


Your only further solidifying my point--- you have no argument regarding my specific post.


Why would I bother to argue against things that have been proven completely false?

In fact, why would I bother to argue with a racist who supports a Nazi sympathizer at all?


What has been proven false? Are you saying people aren't being called racist for wanting stronger boarder security and for our nation to actually enforce the laws on the books?


Nope, I'm saying that people are being called racist for blowing the illegal immigration problem extremely out of proportion, and wanting to build the wall as a "statement" rather than for a reason that makes sense (which is understandable as there's no reason to build the wall to begin with)

Nobody is against deporting illegal immigrants. I'm 100% sure Obama set a record for deporting immigrants when he was in charge. It's the fact that he didn't focus on them and make hem a forefront of his platform because it's a non issue that takes care of itself over time. Iirc, net illegal immigration from Mexico is extremely low as well, so there isn't even a need to up border security

TL;DR

The reason you are being called racists is because you're choosing minorities as the source of a problem that doesn't exist (at least not in the proportions that you are claiming). When you are forced to fabricate a news story about a groups of Syrian boys raping a girl in a random town (I'm looking at you Fox News), you're probably racist and have a problem with minorities overall.

This makes sense, but we need a rebuttal to get the whole story. Any takers?

I specifically want citations on Obama going hard on illegals. and also that illegals are a non issue. because that's the main claim in the post, I think

Currently running for senator in Alabama. Extremely homophobic, said gay people should be locked up, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

a lot of people make quips without even knowing theyre doing it (not just the right) or throw something out there thinking its not a big deal. back in the 80's and 90's you could do that and no one would really bat an eye outside of walking right up to someone looking them dead in the eye and call them a racial slur. over the last 10 years everyone has gotten so soft to everything its making stuff stand out more than it used to and people are turning it into a MUCH bigger deal than it needs to be.

Because conservatives are willing to criticize minority groups. That usually consists of using the exact same rhetoric as hate groups, except instead of being used as a "code" to get across a message of hate, they mean it to be taken at face value. Thus, because conservatives do not attempt to aggressively attack racists for using the same rhetoric as them for malicious intent, it becomes difficult for a liberal to tell who's a racist schmuck and who is not.

But of course a lot of the time it's just a group think liberal hearing a buzzword and then having an emotion based response to it.

I mean, I'm sure they aren't inherently racist, but many do come off as sorta... intolerant.

Because it's somehow racist to expect people to stop blaming racism for all of their problems.

Let's put it into perspective.

You have someone who, for all we know, has been racially discriminated against all their life. When they stand up for themselves, they get called soft.

Isn't that what you meant by quip?

Reality is racist.
The differences between races are more than just skin color. Knowledgeable people can identify race based on the shape of a skull.

We call them "races" and say were all the same, but it's honestly more accurate to compare it to breeds of dogs.

Conservatives simply don't care about race-related issues, which is apathy, not racism.

I'd argue that the soft bigotry of low expectations that liberals have is much more racist. Assuming things like blacks are too stupid to get a photo ID within a four-year span, or that Hispanic families in CA shouldn't be asked to do homework because the parents aren't educated enough to help their kids.

Who where did I talk about phrenology? I never said anything about the brain.

"Phrenology (from Greek (phrn), meaning 'mind', and (logos), meaning 'knowledge') is a pseudomedicine primarily focused on measurements of the human skull, based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules."

Phrenology used the fact that there's a measurable difference in the shapes of skull to try to explain the brain.

But I can see how you got confused, I suppose.
