Alabama Pastor holds 'whites only' conference

Very nice. I have a few that come by twice a day for some high quality cat food. Several of them let me pet them. I have enjoyed them over the last three or so years. None of them are pets but two want to be. They come in and lay on the rug that is in our screened-in porch.

Why is it every time whites intentionally exclude blacks, they get compared to the KKK?
Click to expand...

Not sure about "everytime" but I imagine THIS time it was compared to the KKK because, as the article in the OP stated:

The conference; put on by Reverend William Collier, is for white Christians who contend they have been treated unfairly. Lewis says they are not breaking any ordinances and are allowed to worship how they wish. Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy flags surround the conference, which will conclude with a cross burning.

yes, only a racist would want to specifically exclude white people as well.

doesn't it go without saying?

What if I just excluded a race because I felt that their testimony would be biased in a trial? Is that racist? I LOVE what if games. I have a ton.

Quite frankly...

According to the guidelines and taboos of Political Correctness, it would depend on which race was being excluded_

The circumstance is inconsequential__The rules are quite clear on this Stoney_ ;)

Wait, you mean that KKK flags and cross burnings make people think of the KKK? You mean it's not just overly-PC goddamn liberals?

Amazing....

Yes they are.

1) When you believe things like this:

Lewis contends that they are part of the chosen race.

2) wear a hat with a white supremacist symbol on it (which is done in the picture),

and 3) surround your conference with KKK flags and burn a cross.

When you do those things, people tend to get the idea that it's racist. Largely because you've given every indication that it is.

Has anyone in this thread disputed this???

The racism depicted in the OP is not what's in question here_

Have you read any of my posts explaining the point of the OP???

Actuallly, many posters did dispute that.

Yes, I understand that the point was to play the victim card. You made the choice to make these folks your paragon of "white, conservative victimhood." You chose them as your poster children for how whites are the most victimized people in the history of the world.

Choose a different posterboy. I have zero sympathy for the KKK.

It's a Klan rally. I mean, the guy in the picture presented in the article is wearing the KKK logo on his hat for ****s sake, not to mention this little gem:

I'm not even sure what you're trying to argue here, but you're doing it wrong.

It'd be unusual here, this town is Mason country. Other groups that try to step up and screw with the balance of things with loud offensive mouthery, which the kkk is notorious for, have a tendency to disappear seemingly overnight without a trace. Nobody ****s with the Masons. Nobody.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The NAACP or Congressional Black Caucus are not equivalent to a white supremacy groups. See if you can spot the difference:

1) "We should try and help black people by improving economic situations, social situations, and education."
2) "We should try and help white people by getting rid of black people."

Maybe you should try that common sense thing you mentioned.

Any group that practices racial exclusion is guilty of racism, which no amount of rationalization can justify_

And the fact that much of America has embraced selective racism is the point of this thread_

The ugliest and most dangerous form of racism is that which is socially accepted and government sanctioned_

Wrong__If this were actually the problem, Black America would be on the road to recovery by now_

The only way to help them to compete in the 21st century is by dealing with their problems honestly_

As long as we persist in approaching this dilemma from the perspective of Political Correctness, the black race will continue to struggle_

First off, the second quote wasn't mine.

Second, this is a meeting of klan members, and supporters. Has nothing to do with the government, or social acceptance. The kkk is a racist organization. Whatever you're doing, you're still doing it wrong.

"selective racism" is the point of this thread? Seriously? Why then did it take you so many posts to state this? Why did you play the role of "superior intellect if you can't understand what I'm saying"?

The ugliest and most dangerous form of racism is that which is socially accepted and government sanctioned_
Or the most dangerous form is that which denies it is racist while attacking those "others". There is no government-sanctioned racism in this country except in the minds of those who feel their previous superior position in society is now threatened by demands for equality.

"Black America" was on the road to recovery from centuries of discrimination until the recent financial crisis re-ignited fear amongst far too many Americans

The only way to help them to compete in the 21st century is by dealing with their problems honestly_
A true statement, unfortunately the rights ways and means of "dealing with their problems" actually exacerbates their problems.

Ah yes, the Political Correctness bugaboo of the right which seems to cover every aspect of fighting discrimination by refusing to accept the reality of it, like O'Reilly's War on Xmas or the recent (Feb) claims of "discrimination against Christians" voiced by GOP candidates which aren't PC, but actual attempts to fight discrimination are PC

Are you saying there's no difference in the two statements I presented? Because that's what you appear to be saying.
 
There appears to be an epidemic of ignorance and dyslexia in progress here, spreading like wildfire in July_

But considering that it generally occurs among liberals, indicates that it could likely be politically induced_

The problem is, you people are programmed to see only racism whenever the subject is black and white_

Unless you wise-up, those you defend will continue to live in poverty, rot in prisons and burden society_

Telling people what they want to hear does them no good__Tough love and brutal honesty is required_

The proof is in the pudding__If telling Black America that "white racism is what's been keeping you down" could actually solve all their problems, they everyone would have moved on up to the East Side by now_
