"Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny results

Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

It's still well within living memory.

Not mine... Hell, my mother was only 7 years old when that took place.

It's simply dishonest to equate things that took place in the distant past with today's America.


Furthermore, considering the people were still flying the confederate flag at state capitals until relatively recently, attitudes clearly haven't changed that much.

A flag stands for something. The US flag stands for the United States and all we've done; conversely, the Confederate flag stands for that pack of traitorous dogs known as the Confederacy and all they did.

Again, flying a state flag is not/was not an endorsement of enslaving black people. This is 2017, not 1850.


Oh, that sentiment is definitely out there. And not just among the fringe, either. Remember Bill O'Reilly's claim?

I have no idea what you're talking about, nor do I give a damn... My bet is, you have cherry picked something he said out of context because it fits with the narrative that "White people suck".

It's not just the period of slavery itself though. It's the collective action of a subset of society to terrorize a minority into staying in the same place it always had been, which lasted for at least another hundred years after the Civil War ended.

Lynchings, burnings, bombings---African American churches were repeatedly bombed, most famously in Birmingham---

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_Baptist_Church_bombing

--- even just regular everyday discrimination and deprivation of African Americans' rights as citizens.

Again, let me restate the obvious....

It's 2017!

edit: There's also 246 million white people in the U.S. Do some math.
 
Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center: since the end of the Civil War, American White Supremacist (KKK, Skinheads, etc.) have killed just under 4000 people. With Blacks currently and over the last several years committing just over 50% of murders I guarantee it is not Blacks who have to on average be worried about being murdered by Whites.

Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

I wasn't responsible for that one either.

If I'm not responsible for some wrongdoing, would an apology carry any weight anyhow? Why would you want an apology from someone that didn't have any culpability?

... and I'm NOT responsible for anything that ever happens in Chicago or if (1) Protestor out of a Thousands gets out of hand.

Next!

I'm not responsible for Gangs fighting and shooting other Gangs Members ... isn't that what Gangs do and have always done since the the Beginnging of time ... BTW, saw the movie Gangs of NY and The Godfather this weekend ... surprisingly no one talked about White on White Crime in these movies :lamo

Ok .. too much TV on the Weekendds
 
Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

That you have got to go back 62 years for an example says it all.

I'm sure you could come up with more current examples but I could come up with a lot more the reverse is the current problem, since according to FBI stats when crime crosses racial lines there is over an 80% chance the white person is the victim.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center: since the end of the Civil War, American White Supremacist (KKK, Skinheads, etc.) have killed just under 4000 people. With Blacks currently and over the last several years committing just over 50% of murders I guarantee it is not Blacks who have to on average be worried about being murdered by Whites.

Oh, I can find plenty more examples. I just chose an especially famous one to make sure everybody knew what I was talking about.

You are right, night riders and the like never were much good at murdering people who stood a fighting chance. They preferred to stick to sharecroppers' farms.

By the way, I noticed how carefully you made the distinction between skinheads and the rest of the Caucasian race, while lumping all African Americans together into one big....lump.

Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

It's still well within living memory.

WW1 is still within "living memory," and the Civil War was within living "memory" of WW2.

That doesn't mean that any of these facts were necessarily relevant to one another in any but the most tangential of senses. The Kaiser is dead and gone, and Hitler wasn't exactly squaring off against Robert E. Lee shooting bales of cotton.

the Confederate flag stands for that pack of traitorous dogs known as the Confederacy and all they did

That's what it stands for to you. Millions of people disagree, and they're not wrong.

Again, it's a free country. People have different opinions. Get over it.

the actions of people like Dylann Roof

Dylann Roof was a lone psychopath and social outcast, and he is universally hated by black and white southerners alike for what he did.

His actions do not reflect white people as a whole in any way, shape, or form.

the prevalence of confederate flags in a number of areas, the popularity of various hate groups....

Means absolutely nothing with regards to "racism," as the vast, vast majority of the people who express fondness for the flag do not do so for reasons that have anything to do with race.

People like you seem to forget that WASPs have never been treated as badly as any other ethnic groups in this country. Ever.

You realize most American whites aren't even "WASPs," right?

"Regional pride"--- meaning the same kind of secessionist bull**** that started the whole thing in the first place.

Not even remotely. Most modern Southerners are more fond of the United States than you probably are. I can almost guarantee it, in point of fact.

A large plurality of the military comes from Southern states.

"Ancestry" --- oh, you mean how their ancestors killed thousands of US soldiers and sailors to try and keep owning human being

History isn't always pretty, but it is history never-the-less.

People like you prove that those "cartoon characters" are rather close to the mark.

Indulging in the exact same irrational prejudice I just pointed out isn't exactly helping your case here.

As evidenced by your reaction to my pointing out the way white people have treated African Americans with shrieks of "you want white people to be persecuted".

Umm... No, literally hundreds of blatantly racist articles by Leftist wingnuts, bashing white people for simply having the audacity to exist, demonstrates that your side of the aisle has a twisted obsession with trying to "persecute" white people (whether they are successful or not is a different matter entirely). Your ridiculous, hateful, arguments simply drive the point home further.

Well, buddy, starting by apologizing/acknowledging your collective wrongdoing at least once would be nice.

First off, there is no such thing as "collective wrong doing" in the context you're describing. I never owned slaves, so I'm certainly not going to apologize for something I never even did.

Secondly, if you want to play the self-loathing victim, finding meaning in a meaningless life by acting like you're ashamed of the skin you're in just because some idiot college professor told you so, go right ahead. Be my guest.

However, I'd prefer if you kept that particular form of mental illness to yourself. No offense.

There have been way more white folks lynched in America than Black folks.

The difference, of course, is that most of those white folks were hung as a result of crimes they actually committed, while fewer than 1% of lynched African Americans were ever convicted or even brought to trial.

Cmon buddy. Even just an acknowledgment that what your ancestors did was wrong and that maybe they shouldn't be hanging up flags which represent mass treason in schools.

Not quite the the distant past bud.

Flying a flag means endorsing what that flag stands for. The confederate flag stands for treason and slavery.

Lynching, pretty much by definition, is a vigilantee activity, carried out without trial.

That is true of white victims as well as the black variety.

They're maaaaybe 20% to 30% of the European descended population, and an even smaller percentage of that number were ever the social "elites" you claim.

They are wrong, actually. It's literally mentioned in the Confederacy's "Constitution". Slavery was the driving force behind the Confederate secession, and if a bunch of people who want to hide from the truth that their ancestors fought for an absolutely horrific cause, that goes a long way to showing why exactly the South continues to have these kind of problems.

Gee, and it only took crushing them to remind them which military they were supposed to be in. Great. What a ringing endorsement of patriotism. :roll:

No ****. But pretending it wasn't ugly in the first place because you have your own narrative is wrong.

"Irrational"? No, I think it's very rational to criticize people who won't admit or acknowledge that what their ancestors did was wrong because "it was a long time ago". Imagine if the Germans or Japanese started publically denying they'd done anything wrong because their crimes "happened a long time ago".

Gee, did those left wing wingnuts bomb a damn church and kill little kids because African Americans dared to ask for their rights under the constitution? No?

Just. ****ing. Admit. That. What. Your. Ancestors. Did. Was. Horrific.

Yes, there is, by the way. Whenever a a group of people commits atrocities, their culture always plays a huge role in their decision making process.

And if you are too terrified to admit that what the south has done is utterly horrific, you probably shouldn't be preaching on the Internet at all

Oh, I forget. Did the colonists break off because they thought the English King was going to take away their slaves?

No?

Then your attempt to equate the US and Confederacy failed. Again.
 
Re: "Racism Simulator" turns word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles, with funny resu

Daily Wire - "Racism Simulator" changes word "White" to "Black" in MSM articles



I love it! It points out the blatant hypocrisy (and, in some regards, horror) of this latest, ridiculous and hateful, Left Wing fad rather nicely.

This is nothing new actually. In fact that is how we determine if something is a slur and/or hate speech here at DP. We take the phrase being said and insert another group into it. For example: "All whites are dogs!" vs "All blacks are dogs!". Either way its wrong. Doesn't matter what happened in the past because the past cannot be changed. What matters now is the present. You deal with what's happening in the present and you can change the future.

I wasn't 100% sure if he was equating all hangings to lynchings or not;


That being said--- the overwhelming majority of lynching victims were minorities. There were a handful of lynchings of Italian immigrants, most infamously in....wait for it.....New Orleans.

Gee buddy, are you equating hangings carried out as sentences for a crime committed with lynchings? Because the two aren't the same thing. Not even close.
