Oh where to start, where to start?
1. I'm not a christian, but I am religious. Again, your assumption has led you sideways here.
2. I'm not even Pro-Life in a traditional sense. Yes, I feel that abortion is killing a live but unborn child. I would never do this but I also understand that this matter has been decided by law and I do not wish to push my personal beliefs on others.
3. I only bring up abortion/planned parenthood to illustrate that this specific protester only believes that lives matter when it suits HIS political narrative and is very hypocritical. It illustrates that he only believes that lives matter when they are aligned with HIS cause. HIS cause seems to be to not push for equality but to push for racial superiority of HIS race above all others. NOT equality.
4. Why is a shit swastika offensive to African Americans?
5. I am part of a group that is specifically targeted by this Swastika and i'm not offended. It's an immature, idiotic person acting alone. Clearly they are disturbed...they are smearing their own shit on a wall.
6. There is no evidence that this shitstika is real. There is no documentation by the housing board at Mizzou, there is no documentation by the police either. Only heresay stories that this happened, when the claim was initially made using a picture that originated online over a year before the supposed incident happen.
7. How is Missouri racist when they elected a black, homosexual male as its student government leader? Sounds really oppressive over there.
8. Said student government leader is also spreading lies and falsities all over social media and to the media itself about KKK sightings, violence outbreaks and other negative incidents happening and only apologized when called out and refuted by Mizzou police AND administration who were on campus trying to keep things safe for all?
This house of cards has crumbled. The arguement is nonexistent and 2 men have lost their jobs because of racism. Not because THEY are racist or supporting racism but because individuals have scapegoated them in their quest to end "white privilege." NOT to end racism and foster equality....just to drag down people who are of a different skin color than them.
How does this make them any better than enforcers of Jim Crow post civil war? It's sad that these two men have crossed the line from activist to terrorist. They have crossed the line from civil rights crusaders to people willing to say or do anything it takes to remove people from power who do not look like them.
1. Yawn... your tired arguments are retreads from one big playbook. Most are christian.. if you are not, it makes the fact that you're reading from the same playbook relevant how? Never mind, don't answer that.
2. You took a shot at black lives matter in some sort of "get your priorities straight" way because they aren't protesting abortion? My guess is, you saw the part about giving a flying F about kids who are not aborted AFTER they're born and decided to walk it back.
3. Again, read Dubois... get into the real racial history of this country. I had to because I went to Purdue, where it was not a choice to take a racial awareness class. In this class I was confronted with reality for the first time in my life. Reality, if you put Fox so called News down, is that there is no danger, and never has been a danger of black superiority in this country. When you start in with this "well, you know the REAL racism is reverse racism" BS, it's not so much that I care because of race, since I'm white. I care because you're insulting my intelligence. No intelligent human being thinks we are on the verge of black superiority.
4. You're starting to mesh your greater issues, as a "non racist" who happens to also REALLY REALLY care about the victimization of a rich, white college President.. into your issues with anything I've said. I don't recall sounding off that how dare you make that point about the swastika.
But since you asked, this is where I have to reference the playbook that liberals should be using. Never treat something a conservative can't be serious about as something serious enough to actually argue against. If I argue against this point that only an idiot could be trying to make in any serious way, I grant the original point even small amounts of legitimacy, which is way too much.
In other words, you do yourself harm if you even allow conservatives to theorize about trickle down economics without shouting them down as if they can't be serious. In this time in which you take a sham theory like that even seriously enough to argue as if it's a serious argument, you'll get... well the last 35 years economically.
You know that the swastika has gained other meanings since WW2. You know that hate groups in this country.. groups that hate both jews and blacks have used it as a symbol to rally around.
5. Lack of institutional control. See Truman.. the buck stops here. Managers are fired for a "general climate" all the time. Cry me a f-ing river.
6. Once again, I never said anything about the shitstika. I think you're talking to someone else.
7. You're pathetic. You're the type of person that allowed the Jim Crow south to take place. You're like someone arguing "well, things could be separate but equal. They really could!"
So, because a few thousand people got together and voted (voter turnout is not amazingly high in these things) a black, gay male into a student government office, racism cannot exist there? I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago.. a place that republicans refer to in a dog whistle way.. they say "Chicago" as if other conservatives are supposed to know what they mean. I've witnessed more racism once I allowed myself to see it than I ever thought existed. But I'm wasting my breathe because you don't want to see it. What you want to see is the victimization of the white man.
There's something else. Race always has existed and always will.. racism just like every other ism. Racist impulses are as natural to the human condition as picking on a kid in first grade because he's fat or stupid or has a certain sweater on. It's natural. There's a reason you go to asia and find that Japanese people commonly speak about other asians as monkeys.
If you argue against the idea that the group with the most power in terms of numbers, power and money could possibly be racist.. if you act as if this is something that "got better and really went away with time".. good luck when we get 30 years into the future and whites do not have nearly the advantage in terms of numbers, power or money. I sure hope.. when we're not where we are power wise, that no one is walking around saying, "well, the hispanic police department CANT be racist.. that's something that was natural to being white in the 60s, and it went away after that."
It will never go away, from any direction.
8. The problem with you is that you think that racism heads down over time. Racism and anything where people look at someone and say "he's different" will always be a widespread thing. End racism? Dubois really was right when he said that whites, far in the future, would suffer from racial amnesia and live in a racial fantasyland. End racism. My god... I hope I'm not 68 living in a society where whites are not the majority and have far less wealth and power relative to everyone else than they do now... and in said society, a cop can pull me over, call me a cracker, kick my ass and the reaction will be "well, it can't be racism. We know that racism ended 20 years ago."
It is borderline hilarious though to watch you act like we're in the era of the lynchings because rich white people were fired and might have to live off of a massive severance for a while before getting another 6 figure job.
