    You became triggered at the reality of my post and you moved on to personal attacks, and now you want to split hairs about whether it's a personal attack or "attacking the message of a poster" because your temper got the best of you when you didn't have any legitimate rebuttal. Guess what? I don't really care what triggers you at this point, if you're not here for adult conversation. Continuing to argue about this just lowers me to your level. For anyone else who has been sidetracked by this stupidity, I apologize for my part in participating. This board has an ignore list for a reason, thanks for the reminder ;)

    For fun, here is the post that set this off. It's as accurate now as it was when I first posted it ;)

    Yep the stupid and untrue statement that racism was all but eradicated before Obama was elected. Thanks for reposting it so others can see the lie.

    Go ahead put me on ignore. I know how right wingers don't like their BS pointed out.

    When was America *great*?

    Was it great when it was conducting genocides against the Indians?

    Was it great when it made racial slavery the law of the land?

    Was it great when it deprived citizens of their constitutional rights?

    Was it great when it allowed lynchings and other human rights violations?

    Was it great when it invaded other countries and killed and maimed countless numbers of their people?

    Was it great when it went to war to ensure a steady supply of opium from Afghanistan?

    Every issue in America revolves around race. During WWII it was so racist that the government wouldn't let black soldiers fight white Nazis or let them make weapons of war to defeat them. Is that something to be proud of?

    Washington led the war effort so that he could keep his slaves. He had some serious character flaws.

    #1. America wasn't great yet but was working on it.

    #2. Back when America was great, it didn't deprive Americans from exercising their Second Amendment rights. That came later.

    #3. Yes

    #4. Yes. America likes wars. America was good at war back when America was great.

    #5. America was no longer great by the time it went into Afghanistan.



    We like war

    That's just dumb. When it comes to Russia, global socialist democrats and their collectivist allies Get flexible with Putin on defense. They enrich Putin buying his oil, do speeches for Putin for huge sums of cash, and sell out our strategic resources to putin.

    Then they turn around and try to accuse actual loyal Americans of doing what they do.

    So you agree that there was almost no racism in this country before Obama was elected? Are you really going to claim that as well? Really?

    Dispite Democrats efforts to divide, segregate, and encourage racism, racism itself is slowly dying. I hope it takes all the race baiters with it.

    If you really want to see the kind of people your average Democrat is, take one of their rants about white people and change "white people" to "Jews". Suddenly they sound just like or even worse then hitler. Global socialist have their roots in national socialism.

    Pff.. such a far right extremist thing.
    Just lock up people who you can't win an argument with, and put them on a train.

    Sure can you show me a rant about white people from and 'average' democrat, and prove that they represent the views of the majority of Democrats? Thanks. I'll wait.

    By the way thanks for the 'racism is slowly dying" observation. Just proves my point that the posters idea that racism was almost non existent until Obama was elected was stupid and ill informed.

    One of the most critical errors of modern times is allowing universities to become political propaganda promoters instead of the educators they are supposed to be.
    Doing a little research on the things these professors tell students and claim demonstrates the extent of liberalization being ingrained in students who think they are receiving an education.

    The truth is that is it probably easier to deceive and confuse a person of above average intelligence than an average one- because higher IQ tends to produce lower understandings of people and real life issues. Sort of a trade off between being better able to grasp technical concepts and being able to understand people. This would usually be a smaller issue, but the swing toward assumptions of superiority over their fellow man (as in finding all those who built the very nation they live in) were not wise at all, and their ideas are so much better, that old ones should be discarded, rather than built on.

    A large percentage of these new liberal students lack knowledge that would have been common to an eight grade student 100 years ago. They are not well educated in accurate history- but in general and revised views designed to tell a totally different story, and bias minds.

    These people are dangerous; they are adults that can vote, promote and influence others to deny responsibility, to claim superiority and generally wreck the moral fiber that has made the country outstanding in the first place. It is also far harder to convince a person they have been mislead than it was to mislead them in the first place, thus our real reform should be to require universities to limit themselves to teaching truth and facts rather than promoting political ideology. Some major staff overhaul is going to have to happen soon.

    Does being ranked #11 qualify you as being the *greatest*?

    The poster specifically stated that racism had all but been eradicated before Obama was elected which I stated was stupid and untrue. You asked me to prove my that is was stupid and untrue. Why would you do that unless you believed the posters assessment?

    I've done it here. It's amazing how racist a poster looks just by changing the race in the post they are ranting about. Democrats come to the forum and make threads celebrating the dimise of white people in America. Democrats come to the forum and make threads saying that illegal immigrants are better then Americans here and actually lower the crime rate because they are better people.

    Democrats do everything they can to race bait people. They are obsessed with identity politics.

    If you deny that democrats are completely obsessed with race sex and religion / identity politics, And talk about white people like nazis talk about Jews, Then you are just as delusional as Justice Roberts who thinks judges aren't political.

    There hardly is some kind of unite the right rally going on, without armed white people waving their nazi flags,
    to than have some special snowflake GOP supporter disputing that it wasn't all that racist.

    Re:
    It is a mistake to assume that those who fought in Germany's WW2 military were all Caucasian as there were about 2 million non German Slavs, Blacks, Asians, Arabs as well as 150,000 German Jews who fought honorably in Germany's armed forces.

    Please note:

    "Adolf Hitler’s Armed Forces: A Triumph for Diversity?"
    https://www.inconvenienthistory.com/1/3/3102

    EXCERPTS " I ask those historians who still believe that Hitler and the Nazis were “white supremacists”: how do you account for the incredible degree of non-German and ethnic minority (i.e., 150,000 Jews and Jewish Mischlinge) collaboration during World War II? Again, some two million non-Germans helped the Nazis.

    The important thing to realize is that had the Nazis been as racist as most historians have argued, then they could not possibly have garnered the immeasurable level of support that they did. Even after Stalingrad; Spaniards, Slavs, Franks, and tens of- thousands of other non-Germans continued to fight for the Nazis on a volunteer basis.

    Frenchmen and Arab volunteers gave their lives in the final fight for the capital of Berlin in 1945. Hitler continued to allow thousands of Jewish men to serve, and many did so with incredible tenacity and valor. One has to call into question whether all of these Jewish men and other non-Germans were really as opposed to the Nazi regime as they have claimed after the fact. Their tenacity and determination suggests otherwise in many cases. The Jewish soldiers Bernhard Rogge, Helmuth Wilberg, Erhard Milch, and Ernst Prager come to mind.

    The Nazis never racially segregated their troops. Blacks, Slavs, Asians, and Arabs fought shoulder-to-shoulder with Germans.

    At least two million non-German foreigners and ethnic minorities served in Hitler’s armed forces at one point or another. Without foreign and non-German help, the Germans never would have had their Western defenses prepared in time for the Allied invasion. Let us think about two things here.

    Hitler’s Wehrmacht-Waffen SS combination was the most culturally, ethnically, and religiously diverse military force in Western history. In spite of this fact, we are all supposed to believe he was a hyper-racist (my own term) like some other Nazis."CONTINUED
