Americans Unite - Behind Cold-Blooded Murderer

[Thumpalumpacus]

I'm sorry, what race do you believe comes from the slums?

That you hear "poor" and the first thing that comes to you mind is race is... something man.

I notice you did not argue one word of my earlier assessment:

Society's abandonment of inner-city poor and its refusal to fix the conditions that create those gang-bangers is a much bigger failure of society -- I mean, the numbers are much bigger and they're being gunned down in the streets too. It seems to me that your sense of empathy is tied to the economic class of the victim.

It may well have nothing to do with your racism, but it certainly bespeaks the fact that you apparently think the poor aren't entitled to our same social protections.

May I take your silence as agreement, or simple shame?

Well, he has no shame...

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.

It’s not about ‘what race comes from the slums’, but - as has been pointed out to you - the majority of people in slums are Black, Native, and Hispanic.

But let’s set the racial aspect aside for a moment. Your earlier comment made clear that it’s perfectly OK for the economically disadvantaged to be gunned down in the street, but it’s a tragedy when it happens to a wealthy CEO.

So, maybe you’re not so much a racist as a eugenicist. Sure that’s the hill you want to die on?

Yes you do.

Except this is relevant unlike that claim and you dodged it

We know what races you mean buddy. Stop playing dumb.

Since we have been told that TWM is making use of his ignore function.  I would suggest everyone ignore him...no matter if you use the ignore function or not.

If no one responds to him, this won't be entertaining for him any more.

Let him fade away.

I entertained myself for a little while with him, but you can see where I stopped in another thread. Don't need the ignore function to not respond to someone.

Got it; so when you hear the word slums your first reaction really is, "MINORITIES!" like some Pavlovian racist.

Funny, I did have you pegged as being a bit brighter than most here and just a bit mislead.

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.
