You're putting words in my mouth and I claimed nothing of the sort. You went on one of your speeches about MAGA racists as is your want. I simply responded that there are racists on both sides. A general observation. There is no wheat or chaff.
Party affiliation requires no test or entrance fee. It's a simple self declaration on a voter registration form that requires no authorization from the parties. The parties are powerless in affiliation. There are scummy elements on the fringes of the Republican Party and greasy elements on the outskirts of the Democratic party. When you see posts like you see and rightly call out don't assume these idiots have any sway in party policy or are even welcome.
I literally quoted the words you used.
False, and nonsense. I challenge you to find anything in my posting history suggesting this is ‘my want’ [sic]. I observed, on this one time basis, something I’ve seen today that I found interesting given the dynamic in the MAGA base, and I showed receipts.
And there is little, if any, support amongst the majority of both parties for these fringe elements. Trying to blame a whole party politic based on some offside crazies is lazy and ludicrous.
Yup; good thing nobody here is doing that.
Difficult to measure, but the pro-affirmative-action faction is large in Biden's base, and some fraction of that is people who are basically hostile to whites and "asians". I doubt anyone has tried to measure it.
And see, that’s actually a articulable position that could potentially be argued with evidence. I’d be very surprised if someone hasn’t tried to measure it (with or without good faith), but in any case at least it’s cogent. In terms of magnitude I suspect it would be difficult to defend a claim that it’s remotely close to equal to some of the open and blatant racism on frequent display from some in the other camp, but I’ll give you credit for at least offering an idea of where one could look.
You were directly replying to my very short post, the first line of which was “no, but Melania is white”. You specifically quoted it. But sure. You were talking about something different, you just didn’t bother letting us know.
And BLM.
Thank you, I’m easily sidetracked and struggle with attention to detail.Yes, I quoted your post. I was replying to the last sentence. I'll take care in the future to strike all that isn't pertinent to my point, so as not to confuse you.
Sure. Look in the institutions where a few people are teaching about "white" behaviours like punctuality and objective thinking. Actual universities, with actual accredited professors and real grad students in real programs, actually advancing those propositions, many funded by governments. Not a bunch of redneck nobodies on the fringes of society living in small towns few people are aware exist.
Yup, fair points and those are certainly things that do exist.
If you broaden your criteria just a little bit to "race traitor" - which is really what is at the heart of "race mixing" - you shouldn't have to wait long. The rhetoric boils out of the various centres of Democratic politics - academia, politicians, popular media - almost every time someone like Clarence Thomas or Tim Scott does something that tweaks their noses. "Uncle Tom" is often uttered/written. I suppose it's so common that people have ceased to recognize it for what it is. It shouldn't matter what the political alignments of the targets are. What matters is who speaks up, what platforms they occupy, and whether their own people sanction them.
