A Thread To Discuss White Supremacy

I have no time for political affiliations.

 

I ignore him because I know he's trolling you. If he really was a white supremacist, I would argue with him. He's asking you to philosophize, to offer an explanation for your views. Most people can't do that because they just accept things are "right" or "wrong" without reflection. How many people do you know who can take up the question, "Why is murder wrong?" But that's what he's asking you, among other things.

 

I wouldn't call it trolling. That assumes that I'm just looking for a particular response because I want to humiliate BobbyJoe. That truly is not my intention. You are correct in saying that I am trying to get her/him thinking a bit more deeply on the subject. It's a subject I find fascinating because I think I can argue for white supremacy. I think it might turn out to be cultural supremacy, but we have to start somewhere.

Why is murder wrong? Well, the distinction between murder and killing is that murder is something the state has deemed "bad". That brings us down another rabbit hole concerning the inherent morality of the state which has decided that one form of killing is bad but another is good, which I think can be won fairly easily.

I've spent so much time in this thread because it really has gotten me to thinking about what we white people have given the other people of the world. I brought up the Korean peninsula earlier which is a wonderful example of right and wrong. We can see from nighttime photos of the peninsula that show the northern half black and the southern half lit up and it looks like there's a full-on party going on in comparison. I could do the same with hong kong and mainland China.

These are both places with higher average IQs than Europe so there must be something other than intelligence going on. Is it knowledge? Well, there's no dearth of knowledge these days thanks to everybody walking around with smartphones that can access almost the entirety of human knowledge with a few google searches.

I think I know why China and particularly NK limit access to the internet (it might give them ideas not suitable to the powers that be), but what about other places? Why is south Africa so much more dangerous now than in the past when apartheid was the order of the day? Why is Detroit now such a hellhole compared to what it was prior to the Detroit riots that resulted in white flight?

What makes you think he really isn't?

I know he's playing a game, but I have no reason to believe there isn't truth behind it.

 

And just what are those two dunderheads going to do? Make some speeches to the choir?

hint: They aren't intellectually capable of confronting a salad bar.

 

What are you gonna do other than mock everything and everyone?

What's Trump going to do other than tweet lies and ignore this issue because he doesn't want to lose his deplorable base ?

What is his base or the fake news right wing media going to do, other than shrug or deflect or perpetuate hate and lies?

 

It's a non-issue so I imagine Trump and his base will do absolutely nothing.

 

True that.

Except continue to spread lies and hate, either blatantly, or somewhat surreptitiously.

 

Sadly, it is common today and has been through history for the people acting the worst to be the ones screaming and making outrageous charges against others. Literally, blame them for the things which they themselves are most guilty of, twist truth where ever it serves their purpose, deny truth as a matter of course.

There are no perfect politicians; the game is simply too much one of hardball, and it takes tough players. The democrats think they are playing hardball- but in fact, they are unskilled, not knowing how foolish they make themselves look with the crazy ideas and allegations that have become their stock in trade.

They OWN the HATE label, the DENIAL label, the FAKE NEWS label, the MOCKERY label, the STUPID IDEA label- and sadly... the CRAZY PEOPLE label.
They have a discarded the respect they once were entitled to and won all those positions in only a few years.

Perhaps the worst is the denial label- because with that, they deny all the rest is true, and justify themselves.
Trump need not attack them- they are destroying themselves, insuring his win in 2020 and don't have a clue.
