If you are marching with Black Lives Matter as they chant " Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon you don't drop your Mac9 and run away from them immediately, that you helped your elderly neighbor clean her gutters that morning is irrelevant."

Not convincing.Wrong. Maybe try again?
I'm waiting for Honky and cracker from you next.
Just trolling and hoping I'll bring up how "spade" has one connotation as a racial slur.Just calling a spade a spade...
I am an Islamaphobe because I studied the religion/cult.
I actually appreciate the teachings of most religions, but Mo got it wrong.
I've never spoken of Farrakhan b/c he is irrelevant. Here: I condemn his alleged antisemitism. President Obama does not worship him, and has no suspicion of antisemitism associated with him.Dat, you have a long standing MO here. You minimslize actions of others who you agree with, but exaggerate things you disagree. You are in rare form today for some reason.
You never speak of Farrakan and his antisemitic speeches or his good friend Obama who worships him. Weird huh?
I don't know why you put that in there? All religions accepted slavery or some form of forced work.
Religion affects your life every day. Our moral compass is based on Jewish and Christian religions. Our government's freedoms were based on those religious concepts aided by the "enlightenment" movement which were then expressed in the U.S. Constitution. So our government was shaped by religion and religion will always be part of a political cause.
The U.S. government separated church from state, formalized in the Bill of Rights; however, it also firms up the right to believe in a religion. The Bill of Rights does not outlaw religion it just keeps the government from picking one religion over others. So the religious may piss you off for expressing their beliefs but that ain’t nothing you can do about it.
Lol. Alleged antisemitism. Why can’t you just call it antisemitism? There is no alleged.I've never spoken of Farrakhan b/c he is irrelevant. Here: I condemn his alleged antisemitism. President Obama does not worship him, and has no suspicion of antisemitism associated with him.
It is not minimizing to give accurate context that exposes your examples as insufficient. If you're going to claim I have some "long standing MO" that just happens to be an exact duplicate of a longstanding wholesale disagreement with you, you have no room to talk about an MO and you're a hypocrite to try. How about you try to rebut my actual words instead of chickening out there in favor of coming at me personally?
OMG.......typical Dat using "alleged". I wonder if he uses "alleged" KKK leader David Duke's LmaoLol. Alleged antisemitism. Why can’t you just call it antisemitism? There is no alleged.
B/c I don't know the specific statements he is referring to, and I suspect they may be "antisemitic" in the same way Rep Omar has been accused of the same (ie, a Muslim can't have anything critical to say about anything even loosely related to Israel w/o Islamophobes freaking out and clutching their pearls).Lol. Alleged antisemitism. Why can’t you just call it antisemitism? There is no alleged.

@toonces11 Tell me more about who gets all worked up over terminology.OMG.......typical Dat using "alleged".
I’m sure they do.....But who caresI don't watch cable news except for the Fox tidbits I see when my mother-in-law is watching TV.
The KKK supports Trump. The reasons why are irrelevant to the fact. I don't have inside knowledge of KKK thought, but they do publicly support him.
let’s not act like you don’t know exactly what you’re doing when using specific terminology. You conducting yourself like this is the same way trump does. Refuses to directly acknowledge issues to rustle feathers when it literally would benefit all just to speak in clear concise terms. Won’t back your style on this one bc I find it intolerable either way. But it seems to be a case of a habitual offender crying wolf when his own style is used against him. There is a lesson to be learned here.@toonces11 Tell me more about who gets all worked up over terminology.
It is a verifiable fact that David Duke is a former Grand Wizard of the KKK and remains a white nationalist to this day.I wonder if he uses "alleged" KKK leader David Duke's Lmao
No, it is not okay for anyone to be antisemitic.So it is okay to be antisemitic if you are Muslim.
You and I agree on something. Let's be friends this year and put all that nonsense behind us.No, it is not okay for anyone to be antisemitic.
Oh, I'm happy to defend my own words, which I absolutely choose carefully and deliberately for whatever effect I darn well please. I just wanted to know how you would rationalize away whining about my so-called obsession w/ terminology while turning a blind, hypocritical eye toward others when they do the same. You didn't disappoint.I’m sure they do.....But who cares

What are you quoting?Obama had a relationship with Farrakan and only when he officially announced running for office did he denounce him.
“Since the press hasn’t covered the fact that members of the Congressional Black Caucus in 2005 met with anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, I’ll make coverage easier. Here are 21 members of Congress today who belonged to the CBC in 2005. Why not ask them if meeting with anti-Semites is ok?”
Agreeing on one thing puts exactly one thing behind us, at best.You and I agree on something. Let's be friends this year and put all that nonsense behind us.
Actually, the exact opposite is closer to the truth. Religion was certainly misused as a weapon to condone slavery and pacify the enslaved, but it is undeniable that the entire abolitionist movement was founded by and dominated by people of faith, specifically Christians.Religion has nothing to do with a moral compass. I encompassed 300 yrs because for some reason you did 250..... Religion doesn't piss me off, its the idiots following it....
Because all religions endorsed slavery, it was ok? Why isn't it ok now then.... It sure as hell wasn't religion that freed the slaves in the US.
Who?We have an elected official who spouts off antisemitic rhetoric regularly. Is she not relevant?
The posters involved make huge concessions all the time. They are willing to question and disagree with ‘their side’ all the time. It’s called being honest and real. It’s not some message board game of loyalty. A lot of guys here that basically disagree with most of your stances are plenty critical of trump. It tells us your either blind or you really do believe in the extreme left nonsense. I hope it’s turning a blind eye bc that’s fixable.Oh, I'm happy to defend my own words, which I absolutely choose carefully and deliberately for whatever effect I darn well please.

Actually, I think that example is a pretty challenging gray area, so no, it's not as simple as full disagreement with you on that. On the one hand, a privately owned business should be allowed to discriminate... on the other hand, putting words on a cake is not an endorsement of those words and therefore questionable as an imposition on someone's faith.
I'm willing to concede it as a singular example not representative of the entire issue. So you have a cake and I'll throw in that wedding photographer for your side, too. I have about 30 state amendments (still) on the books banning same-sex marriage. Are you willing to even attempt to address my examples?
...aaaaaand my wife and oldest kid were just in a hit-and-run (they're fine), so I'm going to have to cut short this conversation w/ a bunch of scumbags.
Save me your BC sympathies. I already said they're fine.
"Because all religions endorsed slavery, it was ok?" No dumbass. Slavery has nothing to do with religion. But religion has a lot to do with a moral compass. Can you follow logic?Religion has nothing to do with a moral compass. I encompassed 300 yrs because for some reason you did 250..... Religion doesn't piss me off, its the idiots following it....

Dattier, Byrd was a member?It is a verifiable fact that David Duke is a former Grand Wizard of the KKK and remains a white nationalist to this day.
How about the late Senator Robert Byrd? Do you acknowledge the former part of his KKK membership, which he repeatedly denounced and apologized for since the '60s, or do you still refer to him as a KKK member because he was a Democrat?
Actually, the exact opposite is closer to the truth. Religion was certainly misused as a weapon to condone slavery and pacify the enslaved, but it is undeniable that the entire abolitionist movement was founded by and dominated by people of faith, specifically Christians.
If you're going to refer to Christians as idiots -- many of us are -- you should take extra care to ensure you aren't saying idiotic things, and you failed pretty badly there.
So sorry. I hope all is well with your family. Prayers!...aaaaaand my wife and oldest kid were just in a hit-and-run (they're fine), so I'm going to have to cut short this conversation w/ a bunch of scumbags.

Dattier did not want that. They are fine he said.So sorry. I hope all is well with your family. Prayers!
Ever hear of the "quota" system? Where I worked, if you bid on a job, 8 times out of 10 a black person got it over a white person. It happened to me on more than one occasion.Lol, please tell us how you as a white person has been a target of racism...
Always an excuse, never own your own legacy. If they were registered Democrat, they were Democrats, no amount of spin will change that. Jim Crow was a Democrat.That's not accurate. Unless you're talking about Democrats from earlier than 1940-ish. Both parties flipped around that time. A pre-1940 Democrat would be a modern day Replublican. A pre-1940 Republican would be a modern day Democrat.
