Dispassionate? Please. You're defensive, at best, and, at worst, angry. :shock: 50 pages in one thread to absolve a white man pulling a gun and attacking an innocent human being. 50 pages in one thread playing whataboutism and bothsideism for the sole purpose of diminishing an attack to an innocent human being. Stormfront? Stormfront doesn't allow free expression, in fact, Stormfront corals non-supremacists into specific folders as to not disturb their safe space. This place is Stormfront 2.0.
Huey, I'm not angry. Concerned? Yeah. Perplexed? Yeah. Passionate? Yeah. Angry? No, at least not to the point where I want to riot or burn down my neighborhood, start a movement, or even slug somebody. But I have to note an irony here: Your username was inspired by one of the angriest black men I could name: Huey P. Newton, cofounder, along with Bobby Seale, of the Black Panther Party. I assume you knew that. Perhaps you knew as well that "pissed off" doesn't begin to describe Huey. And apparently some other brothers were so pissed off
at Huey that they murdered him. Are
YOU angry, Huey? Is Huey Newton a hero of yours, or do you just like the cartoon character based on him? I'm trying to understand. What is it you find admirable, if anything, about either one?
But Stormfront 2.0? Seriously? Have you met the Captain yet? :lol: You have no idea how many bigoted, tin-hat loons
TRY to establish a presence on this board, but, as most of them tend to not be very bright, end up violating the terms of service and get the boot.
Take names, notes, and observe. And don't forget the report button, although, personally, I've never used it even though I could retire if I had a dollar for every time some SJW idiot took offense to something I wrote and felt the need to attack me personally. In any case, I was hoping you wouldn't quit in a huff, because if we all agreed with each other this wouldn't be much of a debate board, would it? But this I promise you: No matter how you might label me or what your opinion is of me, I will do my best to respect you and your opinions. It's been more than thirty years since I studied logic and ethics, but I still have my original copy of
Damer's Attacking Faulty Reasoning. That means you better be prepared to be challenged, assuming you don't get disgusted to the point of quitting again. :2wave:
Finally, I watched your video. No offense, but I can't get into it. It comes off as a brainwashing hack piece from SJW University. I mean, I have no problem listening to people and trying to understand their point of view. That's common sense. But here's just one example of where I think common sense gets tossed out the window:
Forcing (people of color) to shoulder the burden of fighting for equality, requiring them to be friendly and helpful in the face of white ignorance, and expecting them to give white people the benefit of the doubt is not only wrong but also makes well-meaning white people complicit in their oppression.
To be frank, what a truckload of crap. Civil society depends on people behaving
civilly. That means
EVERYBODY has an oar to row. So, yeah,
everyone should listen and try not to get defensive. Try to understand and, whenever possible, accommodate the other person's point of view. But
NO ONE as a matter of course should get a pass to act like a dick because he feels oppressed or takes offense at something that was said or done to him. Respect begets respect. People remember and revere Marin Luther King because he forced Americans to look at the ugly part of themselves, not only with the moral force of his argument, but, when engaged in confrontation, by doing it in a poignant, non-violent, non-threatening, and, therefore,
civil manner. Resorting to violence in this instance would have meant surrendering the moral high ground. His argument for civil rights for all Americans was more effective without it. Huey Percy Newton, on the other hand, is rarely remembered, revered by no one with the exception of the occasional leftist loon, and thus is and will always be nothing more than a flyspeck on a page from the Book of American History.
