Which rebuts my post pointing out your personal attacks not at all. - - - Updated - - - How enlightening.
It rebuts your post about false accusations. I accused you of not having a problem with racism, just specific kinds of racism, given your support of racial discrimination in hiring.
Eric holder is certainly a racist. Couldn't agree more. I served with many African Americans who say the same thing. They agree he's racist.
You're simply demonstrating your ignorance of racism with your ongoing ad hom personal attacks. It's what racists do.
Not that this thread has anything to do with Holder, but since Taxcutter has now diverted it, how, in your opinion, is he a racist? Cite to specific statements or behavior, please,
Affirmative Action is the opposite of what you think it is. What the @#$%, man, you know all this! You've taken part in these discussions plenty of times. Why do you forget everything?
What about that white guy that raped that lovely black girl named Tawana Brawley? Y'all right wingers forget about that one
I never said that; it depends on the circumstances. Good job mis-characterizing my position. Another thing racists do. It doesn't prove you point one iota. Feel free to explain how in your view it does. - - - Updated - - - Of course he has and I doubt he's forgotten anything. He's just playing the little game of redefining racism so he can create false equivalencies like trying to argue something like AA is racist. It's what racists do.
I already did. I accused you of not opposing racism in general by the fact that you support AA, which you admit discriminates based on race.
LOL, did I call it or what? Nice try to re-define racism to make false equivalencies like claiming AA is racist.
It can be. But discrimination based on race is not necessarily racism. Hiring a black actor to play the part of a slave in the confederate south is discrimination based on race but not racism at all. Similarly hiring a white guy to play Lincoln is discrimination based on race but not racism. But you know that, I've explained it before. You're just playing your little game of re-defining racism to make false equivalencies to make baseless ad hom attacks. It's what racists do. - - - Updated - - - See my post above.
Bad analogy. Why would a black person be uniquely qualified for a job with the city and a white person isn't?
How long did White males enjoy affirmative action back in the day? It wasn't even called affirmative action it was just the way things were. Hypocrite.
Actually, the hypocrisy is yours to own. You guys claim to not support racism yet you're in favor of discriminatory hiring policies.
It's a perfect analogy to demonstrate why your feigned belief that discrimination based on race necessarily equals racism is completely wrong, and you are doing it to create false analogies to wrongly call others racists to deflect for your own racist actions and statements, as racists often do. Why is it a bad analogy for that? Hypothetical. Could be lots of reasons. - - - Updated - - - There was nothing "affirmative action" about it. It was plain old racist discrimination. - - - Updated - - - Your feigned ignorance and attempt to re-define "racism" to create false equivalencies is plain for all to see. It's what racists do.
Because you are giving examples of actors playing roles of characters that share the same skin color. Affirmative Action primarily existed in Government hiring and university acceptance. How is a white person less qualified than a black person when it comes to working for the Government and going to college? Name some. I see, so as long as you are discriminating based on race for a reason that you progressives approve of, it's not racist. - - - Updated - - - You supported a discriminatory hiring policy based on race and pretended it wasn't racist. It's what progressives do.
Is a criteria choosing a black actor to play a black slave discrimination based on race? Yes it is. Is it racism? No it is not. Does this example address you false attempt to define racism as discrimination based on race, and prove that it is wrong? Yes it does. I don't understand your question. Where have I ever claimed that a white person is less qualified than a black person when it comes to working for the Government and going to college? Education or training. You don't see at all. Or you do, because I've explained all this to you before, and you're just playing your little game to create false equivalencies. Completely false. A discriminatory hiring policy absolutely can be racist and I've never said otherwise. But mere discrimination is not necessarily racist, as in the example I gave of the actor. That is true whatever your political persuasive or racist attitude.
Not in the context of affirmative action, it doesn't. That's what we are discussing, not actor roles. You're arguing that a white person would not be qualified to play a Civil War era slave and that a black person would not be qualified to play Lincoln in your defense of Affirmative Action. What jobs in Government and education would cause a white person to not be as qualified as a black person? How so? How is a black person better qualified for those positions? You haven't explained anything, just like you're not explaining anything now. You want to discriminate against whites in favor of your pet minority voting blocs without having to admit that you're racists. We're talking about affirmative action, not acting roles where it would make sense to pick someone who looks like the historical character the part is based on. You haven't given one example of an affirmative action job that shows how a black person would be uniquely qualified for that job over a white person.
