Milwalkee riots

I find it hard to respect anyone who stuffs words into my mouth in such a manner and then has to be badgered into a retraction. I don't mind disagreement, but dishonest argumentation will always mark a person down in my eyes.

I am not looking for respect Thump. What I do or say on a forum does not reflect on what I do in real-life off the forum. Whatever you think of me is of little consequence and is meaningless. Have you got that son?

Who says I'm trying to affect you? There are other folks reading this thread and I will opine when and as I please ... son. <snicker>

Don't make this into a racial discussion [...]

Yes, because we're a post-racial society.

Yes... We are... And people keep forgetting that, because it would seem that the less actual racism we get, the more idiots feel the need to victimize themself and try to blame their problems on stuff that happened generations ago. *cough cough* Buzzfeed...

Stop classifying people as "black", "White", "Arabic" whatever - Outside of the conversations relevance.
Start laughing at racist jokes, equally, and don't be so butthurt every time you're offended by something, as that is what racism should be confined to - a fucking joke.
But at the same time.

Are there racist assholes in the world? - Obviously.

Are there racist assholes with power? - Yes, but that is simply a matter of time.

If anything should be targeted, it's the fucking "ghetto-culture" that comes in various forms be it black, white, arabic, etc... That's what is keeping the stereotype alive and before we eliminate that, we're not going to get rid of racism.

It baffles me that the very people that are claiming "racism", are the people who always neglect any crime/murder/action that doesn't concern their particular "race". They cry for justice, yet it's only justice for whatever concerns them.
As a white dude, it annoys me that people all over the world are so fucking concerned about protecting their small groups and classes of people, when ideally we should all be concerned about our general good... Our collective good and not just some kind of group, it's retarded...

As a Scandinavian and an Atheist, I love my culture. Even much of the Christian parts and I'd hate to see my culture change and one of the beautiful things about humanity is that you can travel the world and always see something new. New people, new cultures, new food, new ways this speck of dirts surface is put together.

But to defy and neglect anything that isn't directly related to your particular "group of people" is arrogant and not helping humanity in any way.

This is 2016, people need to grow the fuck up.

Hmmmm....checking out the crystal ball here. I see butt hurt SJW crybabies, filled with self righteous indignation, in your immediate future.

[Little lunch]

A theist, another one who was too chicken shit to give his complete view.
All you can do is cry catch phrases from the propaganda you read.
Still, you're a Pentecostal x-tian, some of the biggest hypocrites of the lot, so who'd expect anything different.
You cry out SJW like a homophobe would cry out faggot. You're pathetic.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Yes, because we're a post-racial society.

Yes... We are...

Argument here.

This is 2016, people need to grow the fuck up.

No argument here.

Let me ask you -- if people need to "grow the fuck up", how is that a post-racial society?

Lol.

I noticed that you and couple others on the forum are pretty liberal at throwing slurs around. Min with the "N" word, and now you with the "Fgt" slur. How is it that you and others here can call someone a racist and homophobe when you're the ones throwing around the racist and homophobic slurs.

Apparently you're still having trouble with the idea of context, AT. I think I've explained it to you a few times now?

[Faith No More]

That and whether or not you use certain words does not solely determine if you're a racist.

Apparently I have to explain it to you again. I don't care what the context is. Using slurs like that to get a point across isn't appropriate.

Just a bit of humour to lighten the mood. "Going for an English."
