    Injustice. Which comes from evil, which comes from greed, which comes from our human biology.

    <yawn> OK, so now you are only pretending that I said having superior understanding is the same as being superior. I.e., you are just makin' $#!+ up about what I plainly wrote. No surprises there.

    Very insightful of you me thinks.
    My best friends are openly racist toward Blacks, Mexicans. Seldom have a conversation with either of them
    without hearing their negative comments toward one or the other...or both.
    But they don't act on there negative feelings, as you have said.
    My concern is that they would act out their racism given certain circumstances.
    I don't doubt they would easily succumb to the mob mentality.
    The fact that they are both Trump supporters leads me to stigmatize all Republicans that way.

    What is "evil" is a matter of opinion. I might say Trump is evil....you might disagree. So is injustice a matter of opinion.
    I could say BLM is a just cause....some would disagree.
    Why would something that you consider to be evil cause you to be angry? Because like most people, evil scares you.
    But what you consider to be evil does not necessarily scare other people.
    Fear of that evil...is your real enemy and can lead to violence.

    Not making anything up...this idea you have....that you are superior in understanding or superior in any way shape or form
    to other persons is your opinion. The Truth is you are no better or worse than anyone else.

    Can you explain your George Orwell quote?

    My boss has some "small town white boy" racism from the year and way he was raised, but he regularly hires minority-owned companies as subcontractors and has a black immigrant college student renting from him in a house he owns and rents to college kids. He would obviously never get into a "race conversation" with minorities and he doesn't discriminate, so whatever he may think privately is no big deal. Having positive business and economic motivations supersedes whatever petty little race thoughts he may harbor.

    I'm curious how much influence those dormant thoughts of his may affect say....his voting preferences?

    Frankly, there should be a moratorium on hiring White men in the entertainment industry. They should practice what they preach.

    The Batwoman recasting was actually weirder than that. Granted, it's a "twofer" to get a POC to replace the last Batwoman, but the producers tied themselves into knots by only wanting to hire someone who was part of the LGBT community (my vote for the new Batwoman, Rue Paul, was shamefully ignored-bigots!). So they had to find someone who was actually publicly bi or gay to hire, even though it's not going to make much sense story-wise.

    His voting preference is more influenced by his being an entrepreneur than how he thinks about peoples' skin color. People who produce tangible products get frustrated with "all" government red tape an interference. Many small business owners will lean conservative due to promises of lower taxes and less regulation.

    Seems logical enough why a business person might think that way.
    Can you relate to how the primary concern for profit seems mainly self-serving to some people
    and not in the best interest of the country as a whole?

    Independence and freedom. The ability to see what you can make of opportunity. My boss hasn't taken a paycheck in 6 months, but he pays me for my hours, pays the mortgage on the office, pays the utilities and tons of bills for business expenses. He does that whether he has an active project going on or not. It's high risk. Most Americans have to make at least enough "profit" off their labor to pay rent, bills and food. Super successful business people work really hard and reap high rewards. Since Covid, my boss is barely getting enough business to keep the doors open. Successful or barely scraping by as a mom & pop, government is an impediment.

    ~ Small business is taking the brunt of this shutdown while the likes of Target, Wal-Mart & Costco are doing record sales. Not good ...

    I simplified the Batwoman thing, yes. It's like trying to explain the rise and fall of Bryan Fuller. Or why Martin Gero still burns air. (But I digress.)

    Moratorium? Whyfor you say that? You're talking hundreds of thousands of people in the extended related industries. Put a typical movie's credits on slo-mo and see how many got into that one film alone.

    White guys and gals built that industry. Jews actually started it and ran the studios which made films people actually went to see --- films legitimately earning Oscars on merit, not because of PC. It's manifestly true that since WWII, the racial barriers slowly came down until behind the screens there were (and are!) a lot of talented non-whites...but to take away whites, there wouldn't be enough left to keep that industry going. It literally takes all kinds.

    Now if you're just being a scamp about this, then tisk! Let's ban all righthanders instead.

    ~ Yeah that's likely it. Sarcasm. It does make a point. Where would we be without those Jews Samuel Goldwyn and Louis B. Meyer ?

    This isn't a meth house. It's 4 black females driving a car. And it's on black top, hardly out in the stix.

    By all means, post the videos, pics, links.
    Don't just tell it.

    By all means, links to driving down the street and white people handcuffed and forced to lay on the ground should be easy to find.
    65% of America or more is white. So give facts.

    Just those who do it illegally and those who defend it.
    This site was filled with such defense when LGBTs were discriminated against by bakers, etc.

    I read this year something that was so obvious it escaped me all these years of loving films as I do. The best movies for Christians came from those same Jewish-run studios. Every time. Without fail. Cecil B. DeMille had a fair go at it as well. Can't recall if he was Jewish as well. Certainly flamboyant.

    Where would we also be without major Jewish performers, today including some seriously smokin'-hot babes (Deborah Messing, just one) and a passel of the usual good lookin' studlys we now call beefcake. (Brisket, maybe. Gotta check on that. Can't think of a name but you get the idea.)

    Doesn't really matter they're Jews today except to show off talent in entertainment. It's as American a tradition as the Catskills circuit which gave Vaudeville, then radio, then TV and finally movies their people.

    ~ To most of us ethnicity does not matter - but to the "Let's hate whitey! " radical leftist Democrats of today it does.

    The antisemites in that party astonish me considering how much of their money comes from rich Jews who for some reason refuse to leave that party. As they say --- oy AND gavalt!

    Race? You mean that wrapper absolutely none of us had a choice in selecting? Ain't we ALL victimized?

    As a kid, I watched "Amos 'n' Andy" every week, and thought Tim Moore was absolutely hilarious as Kingfish. Sixty years later, the series is now coming out on DVD and we get a fresh look at one of the most controversial shows in history, the first real TV victim of PC because black actors just weren't PC enough for a show about black people in Chicago. It's just too bad that the DNC can't do that about its own policies --- including toward Israel. But hey, I'm only a dumbass goy, so what do I know.
