I think you might project thoughts about yourself on others around here. It’s odd how often you bark racism at others. So much so it seems like it’s more a “you” issue, than anything else.
I didn't bring race into this thread, nor have I accused anyone of racism other than in acknowledging we all play a role in sustaining it.
 
Never said either of the things in bold and never will.

The Bible identifies how people should act within a society where slavery existed in a different form than America knew it. It doesn't condone it. It was misused within the construct of American history to justify slavery and ironically, you're misusing it in the exact same way now for the purpose of condemning all of Christianity.

The Catholic Church condemned slavery in the 1500s and American Quakers were central to abolitionism. They were absolutely inspired by their faith.

For real, dude, we have similar politics, but you're way, way overextended in your critique of Christianity. There is so, so much worth criticizing about organized religions, including Christianity, but to do it right, you have to differentiate. You're kind of acting like that teenager who is about to get laid for the first time in his life, but is so overexcited he uses his hands like a whack-a-mole mallet before "misfiring" while still in the "holster," so to speak.

For example, in leaping to the erroneous assumption that I think Christians have a monopoly on morals, you reveal the embarrassingly underdeveloped thought that there is basically one type of Christian, and you're not actually refuting the idea that Christians at least have a seat at the table of morality. Yet you seem ready to fight any example demonstrating the well-established and accurate knowledge that Christianity -- like other faiths around the world -- has been the drive behind many, many moral movements in world history.

And now you'll probably come back at me with the Crusades, b/c when I say there is even the slightest positive thing about Christianity, you apparently can't fathom that and then interpret it as some absolute claim you can destroy w/ a singular example. Eyeroll

Dude you have no substance or proof. I'm not going to come back with anything. You're just providing your opinion, I study facts, that's all.
 
They are the same party, they wear suits now, house their slaves in housing projects across the inner city, feed them, turn their eyes to drugs and guns and watch them kill each other daily. Many will be released on a cheap bond and kill again.
In return, they just want a vote, not a day's work like the past

This is getting embarrassing

Someone called Farrakhan an anti-Semite w/o offering any proof and I'm not familiar with much of anything he has ever said, let alone anything antisemitic. I suspect the same person/people would accuse Rep Omar of antisemitism and that's a crock, so...

I fully condemn all antisemitism. I don't trust y'all's judgment on much of anything, though.
Man you are unread. Farrakhan is antisemite and anti white. Omar is a antisemite and antiamerican. You need to read some news reports.

Starting to think Dattier can't read, or refuses to consider any facts other than what HE believes. Which makes him the epitome of what he hates.

He isn’t dumb. He knows exactly who Farrakhan is and the things he’s said. Whenever he is provided with something that doesn’t fit his narrative or that he has to concede, he plays the “dumb card.” He’s just a disingenuous POS who thinks he’s better than others.

Wait... do you think we're arguing the existence of God right now? lol

I just analyzed what you've written and how you presented it. That IS the substance and the proof. It might as well be a poster of me dunking while you gargle my nuts.

Racism works both ways. I know both whites and blacks that are racist.

That I am not dumb does not mean I know everything, especially based on what you decide I should know. I know who Farrakhan is; I was unfamiliar w/ his antisemitism (note the absence of "alleged"?). Sight unseen, I don't trust the perspective of many conservatives here. oldsport provided evidence from a source I do trust and I dropped "alleged" and acknowledged Farrakhan's rhetoric as antisemitic.

This is probably hard for you to follow b/c in the face of compelling evidence or/and logic, you cut and run behind sloppy, wholesale dismissals and the cop-out of misapplied "agree to disagree" platitudes.

Y'all need to get a T.O. to get your game plan straight. Am I dumb or not dumb? Am I too rigid or too evasive? For that matter, that T.O. can be a solitary, wander-in-the-desert type of huddle, b/c none of y'all even agrees with himself from post to post to post; you're so desperate to insult and criticize you can't even coordinate a consistent line of attack all by yourself.

Not everyone's goal is to attack. Maybe that's your problem. You think that anyone who has a different opinion is attacking you. You may not use the same tactics, but you are the most insulting person on this board.
 
That has nothing to do with what I said in the post you quoted.

Racial prejudice works both ways. Racism does not.
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

The assertion was that Obama ordered serveillance of Trump, with the implication that it was politically motivated. What we know now is that isn't true.

Russia interfered with the election to help one side win. Campaign members on that side were aware of the interference and okay with it. That side came up short of outright formally agreeing to work with the Russians to rig the election, though offers of information from Russian sources were made and attempts to acquire the information were made.

Those are some of the high level facts. They're not enough to warrant investigation?

If you have an issue with how the warrants were obtained, look at the FBI, not the politicians.
Obama knew about Russia's involvement more in depth and well before Trump did. He purposely ignored it because he was lazy and thought Hilldogg was going to win. Also, you are aware that Hilldogg paid to have information that could harm Trump from....... Russia, right? How come there was no investigation into her colluding with multiple foreign agents in order to obtain harmful information on a political opponent? Probably because it was politically motivated, right?

I like what Grassley said. You all were sold a bunch of snake oil and the jig is up.
 
Racial prejudice works both ways. Racism does not.
Nation of Islam is a black hate group who defines racism to a T. The biggest fallacy among blacks is they think they cannot be racist or practice racism.
Dat is correct when he uses racial prejudice vs racist. But racism knows no skin color, and I would love to see prove of his claim

Except not really. But I like your effort
 
I’ve never seen someone with as much white guilt as Datt.
Nor have I.

Half of the kids I grew up with were black. I never really thought that much about it at the time. We had to integrate to have enough bodies to get two teams for our sand lot baseball. But now guys like Dattier are so hypersensitive about race. He must not know any black folks and does not understand that there is no difference in having a black friend or a white friend.

I don’t understand some folks. I have no white guilt and I don't think that my black friends have black guilt.

Grew up the same way. Didn’t matter as long as you weren’t a POS——and they come in white,black, Mexican etc. if you’re a good person it didn’t matter. Growing up you’d have some redneck dads that would use some racist language but if you were a white athlete you def experienced people hate on you for your skin color. Never let it bother me bc it would just push me to kick their ass on the court or field.

Yeap. I never understood why I would be responsible for someone else's actions.

Growing up I was aware of Jim Crow rules and I could not understand it, but by the time I was old enough to understand them they were gone. My black friends, that are alive, are still here and are still my friends.

I never had a Mexican childhood friend to my knowledge; however, I was one naive kid so I could have. Fun was what counted.
 
Racial prejudice exists today. Racism does not. I don't know if I believe that, but if you're allowed to spin racism, I may as well take a swing at it.

You're doing it wrong, letsgo.
The dictionary is a poor source for defining living language in social contexts, toonc.

The definitions I use in these conversations are academic and 40+ years old.
 
Where do you live again?

That seems contradictory, to say I'm correctly distinguishing them in one sentence, then to use the term differently than I would in the next. What are you saying?
