Never Forget: Emmett Till's birthday is today

When I joined DP just three years ago, the racism by some of the DP conservatives wasn't so bad...but it's gotten significantly worse in the past year or so.

The meme (and/or slimey debate move) that if you say something might have racial implications, that you are yourself a racist, then Trump showed up.

The liberals have riled up the blacks with their white guilt agenda, America is racist, etc and now you are dumbfounded as to why its gotten worse ... :screwy

Right.

It's the liberals talking about racism, who cause racists to be racist. If nobody talked or did anything about racism, then racism would politely see itself out.

That makes perfect sense.

You have evidence of actual racists/racism here at DP? Lets see it.
 
Some progress made? Yes, because 60 years ago everyone would have agreed that a black man can be in the White House, or on the Supreme Court, or governor of a state or US Senator.... 60 years ago there were so many black lawyers, doctors, corporate CEOs, accountants, billionaires.....blacks were never denied for housing and loans, blacks weren't segregated.....

With the recent outbreak of police related shootings we are in a national crisis. With many calling BLM activists terrorists we are an extremely divided nation. Racism is still highly prevalent in this country. A black person is less likely to get the well-paying job, a promotion, even the best medical treatment compared to their white counterparts.

Who cares? I support the right of anyone to hate the living guts of anyone else, even if it is solely because of that person's race. Almost nothing in the Constitution, with the obvious exception of the Thirteenth Amendment, applies to discrimination by private persons. The Exalted Cyclops of the local Klan chapter is free to curse blacks all day long and tell everyone who will listen that he thinks they should all be sent back to Africa, exterminated, etc. He sure as hell does not have to invite blacks to his home or otherwise associate with them in his private life.

If other people think this sort of bigotry is contemptible, they are free to show their moral disapproval by completely shunning the Exalted Cyclops. In the same way, if others think he is dead right, they are free to join him in his denunciations of blacks. But if private persons ACT on their hatred by committing crimes against blacks, they should be--and are--prosecuted for those crimes. Murder is no less serious a crime when the victim is black, nor should the punishment for it be any less severe. Luckily, this is a civilized nation whose courts are as fair and impartial as any in the world. Any local or state court that subverts justice by showing racial bias is asking to be reversed on appeal.
 
In my experience, the whites who harbor the most racial animosity toward black are pseudo-liberals. They disguise it by pretending their hearts bleed for blacks and masquerading as their pals. But get a couple drinks in one of these fake liberals, and the truth will out.

The funny thing is this was typed with a straight face.
 
Yeah, and that's one good thing about DP. There aren't many racists around here.

This is why I like this forum. I've been on political forums where the moderators are far more "lenient", and the racism is so immense, it basically takes over the entire forum.

When we call Muslims terrorists we are an extremely divided nation. You of course are calling out the people who do that....right?
