What Constitutes Racism To You?

[MarcATL]

No you arrogant prick, I don’t live a totally white existence. There are 23 houses on my block, 4 black families, 3 lesbian couples, 2 Greeks, 2 Jews. It’s probably more diverse than your neighborhood. I give up. You are not interested in having a discussion, you are only interested in race baiting and shaming. I’m done with you.

"Race baiting" isn't a thing.

You get upset at me responding to what you post about yourself.

But, whatevs man.

Carry on.

Well, Marc, I do find your racism to be annoying, but the real problem as I see it is that you are allowed to be as racist as you want whereas white people are scrutinized for even the tiniest trace thereof.

You might as well rally against alcoholism while drinking 4 bottles of Bacardi a day.

You hit that out of the park. He may very well be the most racist poster here.

The poll choices are inadequate. The correct motorcycle is:

- Racism has always existed as it is a characteristic of tribalism. It is fomented and kept alive today by Race Baiting Hustlers who profit from spreading it.

Clearly, if one is to read the posts and threads on this message board, racism is a big problem in America today.

Most of us naively believed our nation had turned the corner and the vast majority supported equal rights for all of our citizens, and then Obama was elected and the insecure haters came out of the closet.
....

It was you insecure partisans who falsely smeared our principled and ideological opposition to Obama as racism.


That was on you, and you are the one that turned back the clock.

Do you see what's going on here folks?

This poster is repeatedly using a term he absolutely refuses to define.

Even in the very thread, that specifically asks him to define that term.

I mean, you can't make this crap up!

 

[AveryJarhman]

I give up. You are not interested in having a discussion, you are only interested in race baiting and shaming. I’m done with you.

Sadly, after several months reading the OP's comments on the USMB, I have to believe the above is a FACTUAL statement.

​

Peace.

 

[MarcATL]

BTW, what's wrong w/shaming people for engaging and/or supporting racism?

Unless you think racism is a GOOD thing.

It is a common and well defined word. He probably doesn't take your request seriously.


I have posted the actual definition and will do so again, right here.

Some people learn the lesson of racism, and so are not racist.

Some are incapable, and so double down on the whole process. Especially since the race card gives him an advantage over others and removes responsibility for his actions, it's really just about having power over others.

It's a crutch. When blacks abandon the need for their crutch and start accepting responsibility for their actions, racism will be a thing of the past. As long as they act like a child always pointing fingers at the other kid in order to escape responsibility for their actions and attitudes, it will continue.

The problem is that libs mostly target people who are not really racist.


As you well know.

Hell, that's WHY you are pretending that racism needs defined. Because you know that you like to play games with that, and want to smear your enemies falsely.

Or do you need me to do it for you?

I agree, yet shaming you for racist remarks does no good because you seem intent on trolling your own posts. Do you have a solution?

Poster,

For the eleventeenth time, this thread clearly gives a platform to users, such as yourself, an opportunity to post your definition/understanding/usage of the term racist/racism.

And I've yet to see much from your ilk in that regard.

Even Hossfly, responded properly, by giving his definition/understanding of the term.

You know full well that in English, there's words/terms and there's actual usage and/or understanding of those words/terms.

So stop making a fool of yourself, because you surely aren't fooling me.

If you don't take me or my posts seriously, Correll, then it's crystal clear that the only reason you're in this thread, is to troll.

Isn't that a fair assessment?

 

[deanrd]

The true meaning of racism is: policies or actions that would negatively impact an entire RACE of people.

It is impossible for any one person to be racist.
It is nearly impossible for any government to be racist.

What exists today is prejudice and discrimination.
Liberals have bastardized the meaning of racism because saying someone was prejudiced wasn't working.
People have an inherent right to be prejudiced.
Discrimination is primarily a natural self-defense mechanism.
Also an inherent individual right.

No it's not.

Just going on YOUR definition of racism.

If an individual is ignoring and/or not actively fighting against policies that negatively impact an entire RACE of people, guess what they're doing....?

Engaging in racism.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Give me an example of a real life policy that effects every black person on the planet.

The policy of ignoring climate change affects every person on the planet.

I don't consider this word to be confusing. I'm happy with the dictionary definition.


Now, the word "chair". I have a lot of ideas on that one.

I think any "chair" that does not recline at the push of a button, and have a cup holder for my drink, is not really a "chair".


IN my language, all lesser "chairs" should be referred to as "Stools" or "benches".


And anyone that doesn't know what I mean when I say "chair" whether or not I have explained this to then, is an asshole.


My personal, secret definition, should, imo, trump the dictionary definition.

 

[MarcATL]

I'd like you to cite some examples of me posting racist remarks.

If you can't meet that bar, then I'd ask that, going forward, you notify me whenever I make them.

Based on what you're stating now, should be a lot.

So I expect to get a lot of notifications from you regarding my future racist posts.

Is that a fair request?

This question is directed, mostly, to the self-professed conservatives, Republicans and other assorted rightwingers.

Coming from Republicans it is so overt it’s impossible to not recognize it.


But there are subtle versions of racism. In fact some are so subtle they’re like the justice that was asked the difference between porn and art and he said I may not be able to say what the difference is but I know it when I see it.


But with the Republicans, it’s not subtle at all. It’s like a sledge hammer.


I would go watch a public hanging

some Mexicans don’t rape

misses housekeeping

monkey it up

Uppity


Why bother with the subtle when they’re being so overt?
