"Nice Racists Guys"

Depends on what else you're saying, I guess...and who you're talking to.


Like I said... I'm not far enough Left, and don't hate Trump enough, to avoid being tarred with that broad brush by those who see Nazis everywhere.
 
The Left is in full meltdown.

Luckily for america the OP doesn't represent "the left" any more then you represent "the right" and i thank god for that!:lamo

You certainly represent the Left. ;)
 
Yeah that's kind of what I mean. Charlottesville happens; you have to RUSH to your keyboard to signal everyone that you hate Nazis immediately, to avoid being suspected of being a sympathizer.

I didn't instantly rush here to cry and bleed on stage about the people that got run over, and to proclaim undying hate for all things Nazi/Klan/alt-right/Trump fast enough and loud enough, so I'm forever after suspect.

Despising Nazis is like hating cancer: it is close enough to universal that you shouldn't have to rush to say so everytime the subject comes up. Nor is it any great claim to virtue; it is entirely normal to hate cancer and Nazis, something almost everyone with any sense does, and therefore not a signal of your own awesomeness.


Let's face facts: nothing Trump might have said would have spared him from being tarred as a racist and/or Nazi sympathizer. That large minority already predisposed to believe this simply saw his response as more proof, as if they needed any.

Nor would anything I said provide solid protection from being unjustly associated with the racists. I'm not far enough Left, and while I'm not fond of the Donald I don't view him as Hitler, so I am and will remain automatically suspect to a large minority of people.

I don't understand why you are writing four paragraphs about how horrible it is to have to say nazis are bad.

Well those guys are dumbasses, why do you care about them? There's always been a fringe, on both sides...and every demographic has their share of angels and assholes (with the exception of Nazis, they're all assholes). Ya, they are a lot more vocal now, but they aren't any more in touch with reality. Nazis are easy to spot...subtlety isn't their strong suit, and their rhetoric is pretty transparent.

Nope, objective people here right and left would disagree with that too but I thank you since you just perfectly proved my point LMAO

Yeah, no sane person who knows you thinks you represent the left.

Only someone who was incredibly uniformed about pretty much everything might think that.:mrgreen:

id have to agree, and ive been told that i dont match (my views on things) i mean im sure there are people that judge me on two issues that are "stereotypically" left abortion and equal rights but that would be ignoring me on guns and military and foreign affairs and fiscal issues.

I like that i dont match, i wish more people didn't match because i think the idea of you must believe this to be this is silly and exactly why we have many of the problems we do. Ill never judge a person, issues or solution based on right/left and the more people that do that the better we will be.
 
Quick tip for everyone on this forum over the last week that has felt the need to state that they are not racist in a post that sure as hell reads as something racist.

Telling someone you're not racist is a lot like telling a woman that you're a "nice guy." If you feel like you need to tell someone that, then you probably aren't. Everyone thinks they're a good person, but whether you actually are or not will be determined by your actions and statement. You don't get to tell us if you're not racist just like you don't get to tell us a your a nice guy. If you are nice, then just be nice, and we'll figure it out for ourselves. If you're not racist, then just stop saying racist ****, and you won't have to worry about getting accused of anything.

This sounds like the post of a racist.... just sayin :shrug:

So if I call you a racist, you wont deny the accusation?
