More Race Hysteria from SJW's

I get the impression that the people who make threads like this consider all atheists to be far left.
It seems they don't know anybody from that side, so they come here hoping to trigger someone.
What sort of person does that?
I guess that some of that sort of person's attributes would be anger, dishonesty, vengefulness, pettiness, etc.

Excellent point.

Because "atheist" is not a skin tone. It isn't even a political party.

If our right supporting theists members here stupidly think all atheists have the same skin tone and political and economic views, they are full of shit.

In my 16 years of online debate, I have had it out with republican voting atheists, libertarian voting atheists, and atheists whom stupidly think Che, the asshole whom lead to Castro's Cuba, supporters.

We are NOT a gang, nor can you look at an atheist, like Hitler thought you could look and spot a Jew. We are quite diverse, in our nationalities, in our classes, our political views and we have left every religion you can think of.

The only thing "atheist" means is "off" on one claim. Outside that we are not sheep. 

I've seen atheists start pro gun threads on other websites. I find them as just as delusional as the far right Christians.

There is no loyalty oath for the word "atheist". "Atheist" is also not a gene, it is a position.

I lean left because I lean to empathy, and I side with economic empathy even when I share that attitude with a theist, even when I don't agree that you need a God to have empathy. 

I am not anti private sector for being pro livable wages. I hate Hitler and Stalin and Un and Castro. But that does not mean our current trickle down is working, because it is not.

Fair enough. Can you point out a particular thing he has said that makes him racist?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls...children of all ages, step right up!   Watch as one christian gives cover to another christian's racism, while asking what identity politics is.

That is not the point.

This is far too often used to ignore that racism still exists.

The data proves that economically our system hurts blacks and other minorities more negatively on average. 

It isn't enough to say, "I am not".......

GREAT, then listen to the people who are affected by it instead of saying, "I am not".

If all it took was, "I am not" we would not have the president we do, but we do, and that tells me we have a very paranoid minority of bigots holding the rest of the country hostage.

I haven't dealt with Wooters in a while, and even when I did I can't say I ever saw him being explicitly racist. That said I've been gone a while and a few of you have far more experience with his posts than I do, so maybe I'm giving him too much benefit of the doubt.

The OP just looked like (snarky) criticism of the regressive left's tendency to overblow literally everything and in turn unintentionally downplay actual racism to me.

It seems that this type of indiscriminate throwing around of labels as insults goes right along with what the OP is about. That when you jump to conclusions and see everything as racist, it hurts your cause.
Could it be, that your insults are not based on anything of substance, but the result of your own intolerance of a group, and those who believe other than you do?

And frankly Tiz... I didn't expect you to answer (based on past experience). I also don't think that there is much reason behind your insults, and as the OP implies, when you actually do have somewhat of a legitimate point, You will just be seen as the boy who is crying wolf... again.

My point would be, inside and outside this website, is "I DON'T CARE"

I don't care about Wooters. I like CL but I think she misses the point too.

At this point in history we have let a man baby into the White House. One who has blatantly pandered to xenophobes and racists. That says to me for all the "I am not a racist" claimers, they still are not paying attention to the fact that just enough racists did help put that asshole in office.

I would love nothing more than for America to focus on wallet issues and nothing else, because that really is what it should be. But the left didn't start this fight, we didn't want it.

There is a problem in racism, but as per the OP... don't you think that we should focus on the real problems, instead of creating fake drama (which takes away from the issues)?

So, to recap....something that looks like a noose is found on a college campus in a country where we still hang nooses on college campuses...and this is indicative of a problem regarding..sjws... The Real Issue™.  

Further, it's a baseless insult to credit racists for all the time and effort they spend convincing people that they're racist.
