    wrong.
    funny you mention that - both demographics ARE flocking away from dems. Just for fun check the party vote percentages for Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act; GOP tops Dems.

    Tell it to the people that don't seem to understand.

    I'm remembering several conversations in the past where social conservatives have told me, on these forums, that valedictorians and others should be able to say whatever they want in their graduation speeches. This was, of course, always in the context of the students proselytizing Christianity and warning their fellow students of the fires of hell. Something tells me those same people will have a different take on this speech.

    Wait, you're ****ing serious? There are actually people deluded and scientifically illiterate enough that they think that different human ethnic groups are separate species?

    Obsessing about anything, is unhealthy. You do know what the definition of 'obsessing' is, yes?

    And no, I did not. Acknowledging a declining population is not declaring anyone as 'supreme', it is acknowledging a changing in population. If we were to use your statement, as pathetic as it is, then there should not be any 'in danger of extinction' list, no concern for the decline in population of polar bears, the decline in population of Native Americans.

    And no, I did not say that pile of feces. Your habit of taking things out of context is in your own warped imagination on that.

    As usual, he took a comment regarding the decline in polar bear populations and painted it on a reference to minorities.

    Which is.... all together: identifying minority ethnic groups with being a different species!

    You can (and should) retract your statement. But you can't deny that you said it.

    Unless, of course, you actually believe it. In which case you can't retract. So denying that you said it is preferable.

    Apparently you have no idea what a polar bear is, or that it is part of a species.

    Your absurdity is pathetic. Why would I deny something that I didn't say? Just because you take things out of context to play juvenile games, doesn't make them fact.

    So now that you've gone off topic, committed a few strawmen and apparently appear to have no clue as to what a declining population is, why do you dodge on a subject, when your position is called into question?

    The post is there for all to see. YOU used the word "species". But, as I said, if you actually identify ethnic groups with "species", it's better to deny you said it than to actually double down on it... I guess...

    The white population is NOT declining. NOBODY is killing white people. This is the nonsense that white supremacists like Tucker Carlson have managed to put into your mind. In fact the white population is INCREASING. Just that other groups like blacks and Hispanics are increasing faster. But... so what? How does that affect YOU? How does that affect anybody who is not a white supremacist?

    The myth made up by white supremacists is that those groups tend to vote for democrats. It's a right-wing MYTH that there is something "genetic" about voting for democrats. The reason more blacks and Hispanics tend to vote Democrat is that the current Fascists at the top of the Republican Party treat them like crap! And they do this only to appease the white supremacists within their ranks. So stop doing that and you'll get your fair share of the minority vote! That's all.

    I guess you believe if you fabricate things and repeat them often enough, the become 'truth' for some people.

    Why would voting one way or another be genetic? Most thought process is influenced by environment and experience, but you go ahead and believe it's genetic. It explains a great deal about some of your posts.

    Oh, and by the by..... Census shows white decline, nonwhite majority among youngest Americans (nbcnews.com)

    2020 U.S. Population More Racially, Ethnically Diverse Than in 2010 (census.gov)

    Give me the raw numbers. SHOW that there were less white people in 2020 than in 2010.

    I'm not going to waste my time looking for it because I KNOW it's false! And that you're just confusing diversity with population. Just like white supremacists would LOVE for you to do.

    I'm not saying you're a white supremacist (I don't know you), but you certainly appear to be repeating quite a bit of white supremacist propaganda. Inadvertently, I must assume.

    I gave you two links, which is more than you have done in the past. Two sources, one normally biased left, one that should be neutral.

    I don't do your research, you do your research.

    White flag noted.....:truce:when you can cite the parts of the bill that say you can't say "gay" in a public school let me know. BTW this bill doesn't even have anything to do with high school which the OP student attends so his concerns are specious on their face. Looks like the leftist pro-sexualize our children side fooled him and you.

    If you didn’t think whites are superior then you stop saying we are.

    Hold it right there. Are you saying democrats care about their problems? What did democrats do to solve those problems other than make promises every election cycle? And if democrats did things for everyone else but white people that would be discrimination, in lingo you're fully versed with, racist.

    Name something republicans did that only help white folk, I'll be waiting.

    Do you know how many times you mentioned white supremacists in this thread? You started a thread about a gay kid in Florida by calling people fascists and then moved right into hard core racism with your attacks on whites. Plus you're using a tactic used by Nazis and CNN in that you're repeating the same lie over and over and over until you've brainwashed no one but yourself. The bottom line is if white people were as intolerant, racist, selfish, uncaring and ultimately superior to all other races then there would be no other races living in this country. The fact that people from the Middle East, Asia, Haiti, Mexico, etc all want to come here just goes to show you how it's just white hating liberals who think whites are supremacists.

    BTW, thanks for thinking I'm superior to others.

    Whether they care or not is irrelevant. They address them and legislate to address them. And Republicans don't

    -Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act
    -"For the People Act" addressing voter suppression against blacks and hispanics
    -HR-40 calling for reparations.
    -Emmett Till Antilynching Bill (passed the House but pending possible filibuster by Republicans in the Senate)
    ... just to name a few.

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

    As many times as I have addressed white supremacist issues. I'm flattered that you're counting.

    You're right. This is off topic.

    Personally as social constitutional conservative l believe both are subject to the guidelines set by the entity putting on the event as the sanctioning body. If it is a public school, government sponsored, religious prostilizing has no place and as a family event about academic education sex has no place.

    very true, but if Christians can do it, why can't he, why did he need a work around?

    And I agree that both are subject to guidelines. The only people I've heard argue otherwise have been social conservatives. And when did this particular speech mention sex?

    "................ homophobic "Don't Say Gay" law "
    ""I used to hate my curls. I spent mornings and nights embarrassed of them trying desperately to straighten this part of who I am, but the daily damage of trying to fix myself became too much to endure,"

    ...

    "There are going to be so many kids with curly hair who need a community like Pine View, and they won’t have one, Instead, they’ll try to fix themselves so that they can exist in Florida’s humid climate."
    https://www.wesh.com/article/florida-student-gay-curly-speech/40089387"

    What an important subject for a validictorian to talk about..........their hair...........what a memorial well thought out speech..................:wall:

    About as important as telling students that they will be tortured for eternity if they don't believe like you do. And you didn't answer my question.
