It's certainly ok on the Left to say, "redneck, white trash, Uncle Tom, race-traitor, honkey, cracker and whitey".

Nore do we expect any more from you, sir. You couldn't wait to call all Conservatives racists. It was only a matter of time.

It shows that the Libbos aren't really concerned about racism. It's all about politics to them. If the black community didn't vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, the Libbos would call them all niggers, on a daily basis.

Al Sharpton? Does anyone still care about Al Sharpton??

There's more than a few people here who really care about Al Sharpton when it suits their agenda. Tell you what, next time Grim has a hissy fit about Al, I expect you to say this.

He referred to Jews as, "diamond merchants". But, you are willing to give him a free pass, because he's black and Liberal.

No. and no again.

I'm not making "sweeping judgments". I'm making statements based on conclusions drawn from extensive research.


I've been wrongfully accused and there was nothing dangerous about it.


While I appreciate you trying to explain racism to me, I'm not interested in your explanation because as I've said, I've already done the research. And when I say "research", I don't mean reading random internet posts from well-meaning white progressives trying to prove that they're "good guys". I'm referring to reading an extensive amount of sociological, anthropological, legal and other forms of academic research on race and racism - research that I consider a bit more credible than your post.

Yeah, since when should long years of personal experience count? Since when should you listen to the other side of the story, to people who say what you don't want to hear?

You say you've done "research". A crucial part of research - as any real scientist of any discipline will tell you - is that you must examine all sides of the issue...because if you decide to not objectively consider the data that runs counter to your suspicions, then you run a real risk of coming up with skewed statistics.

You say you did "sociological, anthropological, legal, and other forms of academic research". So...was this part of a dissertation subject to critical review? Did you reference not only books but especially peer-reviewed publications? Did you also reference material that ran counter to your conclusions, in order to show that you examined all sides of the issue? Did you have to defend your conclusions to the academic board?

In other words, there's research and then there's research. Maybe you did - I don't know. But I do know this: you made a broad-brush accusation, a sweeping judgement: "The fact that the VAST MAJORITY of white Americans are still racist". You didn't say "many" or only "most", but "the VAST MAJORITY" in all caps to boot. That, sir, is by definition a broad-brush accusation, and one borne not of research, but of assumption.

Yes, the VAST MAJORITY of WHITE AMERICANS are still RACIST. This is a fact supported by extensive research is multiple academic disciplines.

Are we going to keep repeating ourselves or are we done?

"Extensive research is multiple academic disciplines"...and zero links, zero references.

I didn't ask you what you expected of me. I gave you answers, yet you're not satisfied with answers from anyone, you dig on people. I have been for the large part ignoring your posts the past week or so, not wanting to use the ignore feature, but I've found you like to discuss other members and insult people and attempt to derail threads. adios.

You expect to be treated differently than you would treat someone else?

When did I say that I was proving something to you, Glen? When did you ask for links and references, Glen? Would you like some links and references, Glen?

Do you think I really care what you expect??? Try to muddle your way back to the topic.
 
ThePlayDrive said:
It's not something that I "think". It's something that exists and that I've seen work in action. Have you ever spent any time among academics of diverse races, politics and religions? It sounds like you haven't and that would explain your perspective a lot more. In any case, I would recommend it if you ever have the opportunity.

Oh please.. :yawn:

The problem with academia today is that too many people have allowed their education to surpass their intelligence.

If someone doesn't believe what I say, I normally provide links and references without that person having to ask. Most people here do the same.
