Had a brain fart and misunderstood Here's the thing, it is unquestionable that there are people upset and posting nonsense about "Dutch origins", "deep sea creatures wouldn't be black because they're under the water and wouldn't evolve that way", "if it were a historically black character that a movie made white, there'd be outrage!", etc that's going around. Is it a significant amount of the population? No, of course not and no one would ever argue as such. But it does exist and has been going strong enough in the cesspool that is social media, and the people spouting this crap should be called out on it.

number305 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think people need to back away from the notion that anyone who voted for Trump is a racist. I mean you are talking about half the country. We need to avoid the trap of thinking that if we disagree we have to vilify and hate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you are talking about half the country. We need to avoid the trap of thinking that if we disagree we have to vilify and hate. I didn't say half the country, it's more like 35% of the American electorate that bothers to vote. It's a significant but specific subset (an immovable one, apparently), not "half" the country. And if, 2.5 years into this presidency with a president who clearly wants to build a hate monument at our southern border, has killed migrant children in detention camps due to his immigration policies (the number is 7 dead and rising, I believe), denied black people housing and still believes the Central Park Five should be punished "for something", and wants to perma-ban Muslims from the country (and has now successfully done so to some degree), uh, yeah, that makes you a racist. No question. Those are just some examples, I could go on for hours. Some Trump voters have said it themselves: cruelty is the point. That deserves villification and hate, 100%. Let's have some accountability here. Explain to me, genuinely, how it doesn't. Because with all the evidence I have from Trump's entire life, much less the last 3 years, the onus is now on you to explain how supporting such a person at this juncture doesn't make you complicitly racist to one degree or another.

But I'm not - I even said in an earlier post in this thread that still supporting Trump puts you on the sliding scale of racism - it doesn't mean you are specifically against a black Ariel, but you're probably racist in one way or another, this is incontrovertibly true at this point to me. If I'm wrong, explain to me how my post you quoted is incorrect, if I'm missing something it should be easy enough to explain to me heh. I also added more to that post if that helps while you were quoting me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I was being genuinely honest - I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how I'm being wrong in my characterization of a certain group - @sblfilms and @number305 tell me I'm clearly and easily wrongly - so surely someone can explain to me what I'm missing?

Sorry man, I have been off the site for a bit. I really don't care enough to get into a debate. So I'm gonna drop it. I have yet to see anyone's mind changed about religion or politics on the internet so I just don't see any purpose in discussing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
