The Trump effect has shown me exactly who my friends are who harbor racist/biggoted/hateful beliefs. I do t need a stupid staged white power party to tell me that there’s people out there who think there’s too much brown in their town.

Did you guys know that most wouldn't show up?

Do you forget what happened 1 year ago and w/the follow up?

By follow up, do you mean the "Brown Guy" on the Boston Common that 40K+ people gathered together to call him a nazi?

Because that is part of the Idiocy that I'm referencing.

So are you saying that you never knew, or even had an inkling, that your friends were like that before Trump? I call BS on that one. Sorry, they couldn't have been that close to you, or you would have known.

Yes it did, Yes they did, and Yes he did. And that was a big newsworthy event.

2 dozen marching on DC was a "Nothingburger" that should have been ignored. instead it was national news

well...Trump was never called a racist until he opposed a democrat in an election....that's all it really takes....it's political racism for the left, created in their heads to demean idealogical opponents...they are fully invested..."if you disagree then you must be"

oooh...there's a cool rhyme they can chant at their funny hat rallies :rotf3:

Call it what you want.

Maybe they can go with "If My Hat is Pink, My Opinions Stink"

No, I mean President Trump refusing to specifically condemn a bunch of racists.

A little history for you of "the least racist person you know"
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...d-history-race

Somebody should have told the police they didn't need to show up.

I don't read your links :hihi:

Well, Antifa still showed up, so......

I'm surprised CNN didn't run a headline that "Dozens of Police Show in Support" with pictures of them at the march. Might as well multi-task while they are at it.

AUG. 5,

I'm starting to see the point of why the press shouldn't have wasted the time to show up at a white nationalist neo-nazi march.

Wasn't there a college student whining about something somewhere they could cover so we could discuss that here?

Probably a Faux Something-ism or a Whatchama-phobe.

You mean not since he was sued in the 70's for housing discrimination? Or not since he became the champion of birtherism? Or not since the idiocy he promoted about the Central Park assault? Pretty sure those all predate him running for anything, but that's ok. It works for you.

The vast majority of cases in your article are not racist. If you want to assume they are, that shows your predilection. The only one that comes close is the charge of "discrimination" against "potential" minority renters. Some of the entries are actually anti-racist.

Idiotic opinion re trial verdicts is not racism.

I'm a bit astounded you'd say something this dumb to be honest.

Stop trying to make everything about race, Spence

[QUOTE=Pete F.;1148796]1973

I'm pretty confident that you don't read your links either...

[QUOTE=scottw;1148819]But incorrect, did you think I didn’t read it because it said something that could be construed as not racist?
I think he is a con man and will do whatever serves his interests with little concern for others, so if it benefits him it works in his worldview

Is it part of the problem that when a city, like Detroit, which is overwhelmingly Black, fills the Council seats with Blacks? Fills the highest civil service positions with blacks? Is it a problem when a district is populated predominantly with Latinos that the elected politicians and board members are all Latino? Is it a problem when racial "minorities" dominate their turf and don't want to give up their domination?

Is it a problem when Asian countries or African countries, or Middle Eastern countries are dominated by their nominal races and strive to maintain that domination.

Or is it only a problem when "white" populations dominate their turf?

Where is that "part of the story" resolved the most? Can it ever be resolved? Which dominant race has ameliorated that part the most? When does that part cut both ways, or all ways?

My wife and I this past Sunday went to a Chautauqua community in Ohio. It was a great place to visit. A grand old 19th century hotel on the lake where we had a fabulous brunch and could see Lake Erie on the veranda. A beach where people swam and sunbathed and children frolicked, and off of which people boated and fished. It was a beautiful mix of mostly old and really old, but also newer architecture and expensive houses and lots of places to visit and shop. And this one is fairly "liberal." Our host was very Progressive. On the tour of the neighborhood, one of the houses had a sign in front which I had time, as we were driving by, to read only two of a list of politically correct things: "There is no illegal human being," and "Black Lives Matter." Do you know how many Blacks I saw boating, sunbathing, frolicking, shopping or just living there? ZERO.

What percentage of your population in that great Progressive North East is black?

I know, I know, you are not racists there. You are "liberal." You are Progressive. Skin color is not part of the problem with you. I'm not going to ask you the impertinent question, "how happy would you be if 80 to 90 percent of your population was black?" I know that you would resoundingly say that you would be perfectly happy. You are not racists. But what if the question were "How happy would you be if that 80 to 90 percent black population always voted for Republicans of the "conservative" stripe? Voted for all the things you think are stupid, foolish, and destructive of what you think made America great, destructive of your notion that the Constitution is a living breathing document that can be "interpreted" by personal opinion of what is good and right and voted for those who would appoint textual originalists?" And I certainly won't ask you if it would be a good and happy thing if your culture of "whiteness"--restaurants, movies, music, clothing styles, low crime rates, whatever, were replaced by a Detroit state of mind.

These are embarrassing questions. They can put people ill at ease. We like to think of ourselves as good people. We feel we harbor no ill will toward others who are different. We are egalitarian.

Are we really? Some white guys 250 years ago wrote a governing system that would create a country in which everyone is equal before the law. But they had no pretension that we are all equal in any other way.

Trying to achieve outcomes of equality in any other way besides before the law is not only destructive of that old governing system, it is destructive of actual individual rights and individual differences in favor of those ever conflicting group rights. That "part of the story," racism, is exacerbated, enlarged, and made impossible to solve at the collective or tribal level. We can far more easily live peacefully and productively together as individuals than we can as different tribes.

That old piece of paper, that never breathed a breath nor lived a life, but was always merely and fully law gives us the blueprint for the union of individuals, all equal before it, and under it, and abolishes the problem of race.

David Duke was even thrilled with Ingram speech.

Nowhere in the Constitution—or in the Declaration of Independence, for that matter—are human beings classified according to race, skin color, or ethnicity (nor, one should add, sex, religion, or any other of the left’s favored groupings). Our founding principles are colorblind (although our history, regrettably, has not been).

Do you honestly think the founders considered non whites or women when the wrote the constitution ... I say no why would they thats not how the world worked then ... to me this is the issue with originalist he U.S. Constitution is 229 years old the world changes but people still want a 299 year old interpretation in 2018

Our Founders considered individual liberty. They did not all have the same beliefs and convictions about societal norms. Being students of history, they understood that norms change. A contextual originalist does not adhere strictly to "intent." The Founders may have had different intents. But for whomever they intended their Constitution to apply, what matters to the textual originalist is the text and the original meaning of its words. Its principles of equality before the law and of individual freedom are derived from the Constitution's text today, or tommorow.

Not too much non-white. too much of the wrong kind of non-white, which want to transform the country to look like Venezuela. If that's racist, I'm racist too..

It's a news story that there are 24 white racists out there. We didn't know that until now? 24 people, whew, we better get cracking down on that movement Then Antifa showed up dressed like ninjas and started rioting.

There’s more on this site. :hidin:


I’m totally trolling. 😂
