Who is the most racist the left or the right? [W:353]

Who is the most racist the left or the right?


  • Total voters

Unless we look at Legislation and those who are against certain legislation. That's when you will see genuine racism in action.

The former is "Affirmative Action" and the second is voter ID.

Neither is racist.
 
Right-wingers are going to say it's the left, left-wingers are going to say it's the right.

Because hating whites isn't racism - it's just being a democrat...
 
It's an expression used to keep Black people in line. It is hugely demeaning and makes the user as ignorant as someone who would use the word nigger.

Yeah, that is just stupid...
 
Some of us don't call everything racist. The definition I use for racism actually makes it hard to call racism on any one of either side. I think we overuse the term, diluting its impact. Just because something is not racist does not make it good. For example, one that came up not long ago, calling some one an Uncle Tom is not racist by my definition as it does not have a presumption of either superiority or inferiority of a race. It is racial, and it is a vile accusation, but not racist.

Redress, it seems you have abandoned the liberals PC definition of racist and resorted to the original definition of racism.

Good for you.

Do you also concur with the progressives Dillingham Commission Report to Congress ?
 
Neither is racist.

Affirmative Action doesn't apply to race? Do you know why many people are against voter ID?

A declaration isn't debate,btw. Your claim has to have some legitimate support.

Applying to race does not make things racist. Affirmative action is giving benefits to minorities based on the presumption that those people have not had equal opportunity. No presumption of superiority or inferiority of race. People opposevoter ID laws for a number of reasons, none of them racist.
 
Hi. Has anyone heard of Al Sharpton?


Oh wait. You can't be racist if you're not white.


For the record, I couldn't be further from racist if I had to be.


and all this race race race race. How about, we're all just Americans. There's a novel idea! Always hearing "oh what nationality are you?" "Well I'm American" "No I mean what ARE you?" "Umm, I'm American."

All the race obsessed folks continue to perpetuate it by bringing it up. Let the f***ing issue just die. We are not Irish, Italian, Angolian, Mongolian, Chinese, French, South African, Swahilian, Luxemborgian? (that's a fun one)....we are AMERICAN.

See how easy that is?

You do know that doctors are going to require ID from all these new patients the ACA creates for them don't you?

If laws are not applied equally but instead decided on other criteria, including race, then the law is racist. It cannot be anything else. I

Affirmative action is giving benefits to minorities based on the presumption that those people have not had equal opportunity.

It doesn't matter whether the consequence is intended to be positive or negative. It is based on race. But in this case te law was saying that Black people are inferior to other races and need special privileges not available to others, That is racism.

No presumption of superiority or inferiority of race. People opposevoter ID laws for a number of reasons, none of them racist.

In fact I have heard the argument that voter ID itself is racist. Have you not heard that?

Nigga please...

Wouldn't that be great?

But come election time the hustlers will declare their opposition has a war on Black people, a war on women, a war on the poor, and so on. Why would politicians quit a winning strategy?
 
Neither is racist.

Affirmative Action sure as heck is racist... :lol: What are you on?

Yeah, that is just stupid...

Why? Sure seems spot on to me.

There are white people that have not had an equal opportunity... AA is racist because it applies to "Race" instead of socio-economic status, the status of schools in certain areas, etc. Basing it on race indicates that race is the issue, thus making a claim that blacks have some inferior factor.
 
No, I didn't know that.

Doctors require ID when you first come in to verify you are not someone else using a person's insurance to prevent fraud.
 
Post for me one racist quote from Palin or Cruz. I don't know who Klayman is, so I'll leave that be for now.

You don't get to let Klayman be cuz you just want to--he's a regular on the grounds surroundinding the White House, appearing on the same stage with Palin and Cruz and some of the most vicious civil war language to date--a simple google will do ya but you don't want to know
 
Nigga please...

This post is but a small history lesson as to why "you people" are called re--gressives and we are called progress--ives//got 20 gun-target posters of Dem congressmen from Palin and her "2nd amendment remedies", including a gunsight on gabby Gifford ?no amount of vile feces thrown at the POS adulterer Palin is enough .
 
Id bet every cent I have, every piece of property and every single asset that if you take 25 people from both sides and you could find out if they were factually racist/prejudice the right would have more almost every time.

Now with that side, relating that to the whole group or actual parties would be beyond stupid, there's no real coloration between racism and any official right/left platform.

I would never in my wildest dreams meet a righty and assume he is a racist, just like i would never meet a lefty and assume he isnt because that would be idiotic.

They are just people until something proves otherwise.

Talks like this are dumb because its trying to make a determination or connection that isnt there, I have no problem answering the question but im also not stupid enough to think it means anything else than the question.

Do i think there are more racists on the right, yes absolutely
do i think righties are racist, no absolutely not

its like people using stats the wrong way

do i think Shaq is more likely to make more shots than MJ, yes absolutely
do i think Shaq is a better shooter than MJ, no absolutely not

Shaq having a higher FG % doesnt make him a better shot
just like righties having a higher % of racists doesnt make the whole party racist.

the answer, even if its factual is meaningless :shrug:

One of the most poorly constructed sentences, if that is what you can call it, that I have ever seen.

Like I said I don't know him so I can't respond to his comments. I will look it up though. Now, I do know the other two that you mentioned. Please back up you accusation against Cruz and Palin or retract it. A quote please.

Which definition of racist are you using ?

OK I googled Klayman, I guess I have heard of him before. He says some inflammatory things for sure, I'd say he likes to get attention for making these types of statements, however I saw no quotes that appeared to be racist toward anyone. I did see one quote where he appeared to be accusing President Obama of racism....
 
Which definition of racist are you using ?

pick one doesnt matter :shrug:

rac·ism [rey-siz-uhm] Show IPA
noun
1.a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2.a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3.hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

They just keep adding on to the definition as they go along don't they ?

I'll stick with #1. Not to long ago, it was the only definition for racist.

The SPLC has labeled anyone who didn't vote for Obama in 2008 or opposses Obamacare as being racist.
 
Doctors require ID when you first come in to verify you are not someone else using a person's insurance to prevent fraud.

That would seem strikingly similar to voter ID. Has anyone declared Obamacare to be racist yet?
