Black People - Stop Blaming Racism, Take Responsibility

[Thumpalumpacus]

I disagree. It reads to me that he's using it in the manner of speaking what he thinks A Theist's thoughts are:

The phrase, "in Adolf's book" seems to me to indicate that he is speaking from AT's point-of-view,

Or, it could also read, and it would seem to indicate, that Min, the goofy goober shit for brains, is totally wrong and doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. His witless come backs to those who either call him out, or who disagree with him, is to respond by calling them racists or Nazis while he throws around the "N" word himself....with some of you trying to justify that goof ass dipshit.

Indeed it could.  I've been known to be wrong. I don't think I am in this case, but reading what he's written, he doesn't seem to be speaking from a personal perspective.

Interesting. Would you, personally, use those kinds of slurs to make a point, and would you use those slurs around a group of people where blacks were among them?

I have before, yes, with both black friends and black members of my interracial family; in the context of imputing racial views to someone else, it's easily understood.

 if the writer honestly thinks the target is racist and can support the charge of racism..

All some of us did was to disagree with his dumb ass and to call him out for using the "N" word. How does that support his charge of racism? He's thrown the "N" around on more than a few occasions in other threads. How does that justify Minifullofshitalist calling those he disagrees with, racists and Nazis? There's more support in what comes out of his own big mouth to charge him with being a racist and a Nazi.[/quote]

I didn't say that this supported his charge. I said that as a rhetorical device it is acceptable if the writer can support his charges. I don't know your views on race, and I'm not interested in calling you racist.  If you think that I'm supporting his labeling you as a racist, please accept my apologies. I don't know you well enough to say one way or the other, and I don't level such charges lightly.

I'm not supporting his charge against you. I'm saying that not every use of the word "nigger" is a slur indicative of the speaker's bigotry.

I disagree. It reads to me that he's using it in the manner of speaking what he thinks A Theist's thoughts are:

So you think it was absolutely necessary for him to use the word?

No.  Where did you get that idea?  

Why are you blindly defending him?

"Blindly"?  I'm well aware of what I'm saying; there is nothing "blind" about it.

How can anyone say he absolutely needed to use such a word to illustrate (and simultaneously undermine) his point? If he even had one?

Again, where did I write that he "absolutely needed" to use that rhetorical device? Restrict yourself to what I've written and do not impute views to me I don't hold.  This conversation will go much smoother.

I've gotta be honest, sometimes it's like Min gets away with saying whatever he pleases just because he's the biggest poster here, and muppets come along and bum him up the arse even when he's in the wrong.

Are you kidding? I've gone hammer-and-tongs at him before about what I think is his bigotry, namely, his anti-Muslim bigotry. Ask him.

There was absolutely no need for him to toss that word about so flippantly,[...]

Again, I never said he needed to do that -- you're swatting at a straw-man.

and his response afterwards of "two bit phony cocksucker" was nothing more than trolling.

Dear god, trolling on the Internet? What's next?

But he'll get away with it, because it's Min.

Another way to put that is that "some of us understand how to read in context."

I don't agree with everything he says or does, by a long shot, but I think calling him racist over this is silly.
