Why you think that link responds to or contradicts anything I said is beyond me.
Because you insist that everyone sees it the way you do and I showed you that is not the case.
Stop, being, wrong...or let it go.
Quote:Nice circular logic you got going there. It's like saying the bible is true because the bible says it's true.Nice, yet another term which you seem to have some confusion over. That a lack of acknowledgement is explicitly contained within the definition of cultural appropriation is not circular logic...it's a statement of brute fact.
Look, dissatisfaction with that definition is the ENTIRE purpose of this thread. Once again, you see you're definition as the only possible one.
Quote:No, that's not it at all. You're intolerant of different opinions. That fact that you see different opinions as bigoted/racist is what makes you and not them a bigot.Yes, yes, again, I know, I'm bigoted against people with not-bigoted opinions. I'm not denying it. .....? Those poor folks...theyre really good people..they just play bigots on tv, sound like bigots, and broadly agree with the not-bigoted opinions of other not-bigots. Mea culpa..mea....culpa.
Quote:Everything I've said has been coherent. That you disagree with and try to vilify me for it is your bigotry and lack of coherence, not mine.Strike three, yet another term you don't understand...coherence.
You started this whole mess with me on a baseless accusation of racism. How's that going? Has it improved the level of discussion to your exacting standards?
-and you think it's my bigotry that makes a discussion with me impossible.......
