Nope, we just know that's what you mean when you say slum. Like I said, your song and dance of "No, you guys are the real racists "is not going to fly here.

Yup. Just like when I hear the word ‘Austria’ my first reaction is ‘AUSTRIANS!’, because the majority of the people in Austria are - brace yourself - Austrians.
Cool, huh?

Buddy we know what race your referring to when you say slum. Don't even try and play dumb.
Quote:That you hear "poor" and the first thing that comes to you mind is race is... something man.
No we hear slum and poor and immediately know what group your trying to associate those things with.
Nice try with the tired "No you guys are the racists" it's not going to work
I think the real message is that slum translates to people who are dispensable. Let the poor and disadvantaged square off and shoot one another.
Then those who think they are superior don't have to see, or deal, with them.
It's a very Christian mindset.

Quote:Funny, I did have you pegged as being a bit brighter than most here and just a bit mislead.
Buddy your assessment of who is bright is meaningless as you are definitively not bright in the slightest, and you are a black hole compared to Silver so hush.
Quote:I think I'm glad I was right - though I hate the implications and it's a shame losing one of the few posters who could stay on topic.
Everyone sticks to the topic, but they also have to deal with all the stupid shit you say so......

Right, because I don't assume "slum" carries a racial component to it. I also wouldn't "argue" against you if you made the claim, "TWM believes that water is made of candy!" because that's fucking dumb and unrelated to anything I think or even care about.
What race do you believe comes from the slum?
I specifically did not make any mention of race. I pointed out that you don't mind that poor folk get shot and killed so long as they keep it in their own neighborhood.
It's almost like you can't read for content. Here, I'll put it straight so even a dingbat can understand it: if someone is poor and lives in a ghetto, you don't mind them being shot and killed so long as they keep in in said ghetto.
Agree or disagree?
Notice that there's no mention of race whatsoever. If you drag it in again your agenda will be even more plain.

Exactly my point. He doesn't mind when poor folk get gunned down, just NIMBY.
He doesn't care. He doesn't care about all humans. He only cares about those who have money. Let's leave race out of it. His lack of empathy for the poor is damning enough.

There's this whole rich man and the camel and the eye of a needle thing happening here.
Pretty sure JC would piss on this privileged guy.

My prediction of what he's gonna see next: stereotype American "it's their own fault if they are poor".
But yeah, how very Christian to just care about the in-group.
