    Boring because fewer people will be dying and at that point the right wing terrorist groups will feel free to instigated violence without masks.

    Good plan, agreeing with them! I've taken to doing that of late. They indulge a moment of relief thinking that after all, they're not the racists. It makes 'em drop their guard :twisted:

    Good lord, who are you listening to!

    I've spent the past few years listening to the Right (unlike those on my side who never EVER listen to their compatriots across the aisle), and I think I've probably encountered a single bona fide white racist in all that time. And he was very open and pragmatic, not in the least hateful or emotional about it. Every other white racist I've encountered over that same period (and there have been far too many) was a Progressive Leftist.

    Feels more like a nation's slow and dull death in a nursing home, instead of 'who knows what will happen next' youthful chaos.

    That says more about how well you've been listening to the Right than anything else.

    I actually listen, as shocking as that is to so many on my side. And shock of all shocks, I listen with respect.

    Once again, the vast majority of white racists are now amongst the Progressive Left, with few on the Right. And those that do exist on the Right, declare themselves openly. They're not that most vile kind of racist .. the cloaked, stealth racist. The kind which paternalises and denies agency, and calls it love.

    Won't ever happen. They'll make sure Black Americans stay as disenfranchised as possible, and keep their middle/upper class white power base sweet by pandering to their essential supremacism. That's a magical combination as is, but when you throw in the carrot of a free ride through life, well ....

    Once again, that says more about you than it does about what’s actually happening. We know that the right are becoming more and more radicalized and groups like white supremacists has been growing in size. All it sounds like you’re doing is saying “my side isn’t racist because racist means whatever my opponent says and not what my side says.”

    Again, how will he do that? I mean, it's not like there are actual packs of nazis roaming the country (cute trope though!), but how will he 'fix' racists?

    Well sure, the white supremacists are gaining strength .. see Joe Biden and his token sidekick!

    No, I'm saying the racists we need to worry about are not on the Right. f you're genuinely concerned about racism, look to who is paternalising and denying agency. Lot's of 'em, isn't there. You should be worried.

    Yeah that sounds really dumb and something a racist would say. Sure the left has racists in the closet, but they don’t generally burn crosses. Thanks for proving my point.

    "Right wing terrorist groups" LOL

    But by all means, stay focused on that phantom. Your white overlords will be able to take you from behind without you feeling much pain until it's too late.

    Oh fun! So you think I'm racist? Don't worry, I won't report you or anything crazy like that .. just curious :)

    Meantime I laughed loudly enough to wake my dog, when I read your 'burning crosses' thing. Bless!

    You called Harris a token. That’s something a racist would say. Take from that what you want.

    he may not be able to, much harder to remove the hate Trump created then it was for Trump to create it

    the hope is people will want to unite in a common cause to save this country, but that is really up to republicans

    Do you deny the predominant terrorist groups in the United States today are right wing terrorist ? This is just an “IQ” test question.

    Sure...it’s not such a problem, the Govt even passed a bill devoted to it.

    https://www.congress.gov/116/bills/s894/BILLS-116s894is.xml


    SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:



    (1) White supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States.
