More Race Hysteria from SJW's

[Edwardo Piet]

Also right-wingers are generally racist. If you believe in equality and liberty you will be left-wing or at least political center and if you don't believe in those things you'll be bigoted. Right-wing political views are the perfect views for the racist and bigot to identify with.

A gross oversimplification.

Well I did say "generally".

[Amarok]

No. Policy that would only benefit either far left California or New York.

Pure ignorance and lies .

So, let me see if I understand your argument-  A student perhaps overreacted to a shoelace she mistook for a noose, therefore racism doesn't exist?

For someone who prides himself on impeccable logic, I would have thought you'd know what non-sequitur is.

And if one factors in all the racial tension in the states right now . The student is not totally unreasonable even if they were wrong . Like the Banana incident Wooters shows his ignorance and his blindness .

"If you keep pointing out that I'm a racist dems will lose elections!"

Better the Dems lose then bigotry wins .

I do think that one way that racism can show up, is by projecting racism on to others or almost automatically thinking that someone is racist, because of their ethnicity.

Cries of reverse racism and white victim hood

A gross oversimplification.

Well I did say "generally".

Of course, but that doesn't really save the thought from the criticism.

Too bad. That's the way it is in this country. At least with the electoral college the states with the biggest population won't be dictating policy for the rest of the country.[/hide]

What do you think the size of HoR delegations from each state is based on?

That's right -- population.

...and the Senate?

His motives are what are questionable.

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.

That's exactly what it is and its a tactic that works on stupid people. The daily mail used a similar tactic to poison the EU in peoples minds and it worked making the UK forecer a lesser country.

I see a tendency for people on the right to call for people to stop pointing things out to them.
Stop calling me a racist when I say or do racist things. They say.
Do not call me a Nazi just because I'm goose stepping down the road holding a torch in a parade that features swastikas. They demand.
They want their bigotry, but by science they don't like to be called on it.

Obviously not based on population. But the HoR is, and that renders your concern nugatory. Laws are already subject to the large HoR delegations of populous states.

You had written, "At least with the electoral college the states with the biggest population won't be dictating policy for the rest of the country", but the EC (which determines the Presidential voting) and the HoR are apportioned by population. That means two out of the three elements are in fact subject to the control of states with high populations.

Their stuff still goes through the Senate.

Of course. And that still doesn't negate my point, that the EC does nothing at all to minimize the influence of the heavily populated states, contrary to your assertion.

No, a state's electors in the EC are based on its number of representatives plus senators, so it's skewed in favor of smaller states.

Your state’s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.

I'm so sick and fucking tired of these stupid conservatives bitching and moaning about EVERY GOD DAMN THING ON THE PLANET.

"Oh no, these people are crying out about something I disagree with! That means they're all wrong all the time and we shouldn't listen to them!"

Meanwhile...

"STARBUCKS HAS A RED CUP!? NOT SAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS!? WAR ON CHRISTMAS! WAR ON RELIGION! WAR ON RELIGION!"

So get the fuck out of here with this shit, you dumb fuck.
