Wrong.
And why would I trust your accuracy any more on this? Like the people you always agree w/ would even register as candidates for this distinction. Eyeroll

I've never really understood what that means. It's something white people who refuse to acknowledge racial inequity always say abut white people who are interested in improving things.
And of course, it's easy and lazy to throw out there dismissively, which is all you ever do.
Of course you know what it means. Don’t lie. You live your life each day feeling guilt of being white and ashamed of what those darn white people did to someone else who isn’t white centuries ago.
I’m just waiting for you to go all Kirk Lazarus and get the surgery.
The tradition of shaking hands goes way further back than 40+ years. It is a show of peace. And your refusal to shake a man's hand due to having different political views is a show of cowardice. But you're not a coward, that's why I think you would shake my hand, Datt.
My guess is he would try and open mouth kiss you. This whole non handshake thing is just a ploy to cover it.
Bert can be really insulting towards people who he disagrees with. SNU and myself can also be pretty insulting towards you in particular. But rarely if ever before you provocate it. I might be more insulting in crudeness or language. But you are insulting towards people the second you find something they say to go against your views. Which happens a lot because you are a rare bird when it comes to your views. Your snootiness is second to no one. I don't think it is only people who agree with me on certain topics that would agree.
I will always use the definition that 99.9 percent of people understand.
Not fully. I don't understand why working to improve injustices is evidence of it. It seems to me like defensiveness about whiteness is more akin to what the words actually mean.

See, this just shows what a poor understanding you have of what I've said. Maybe if you actually listened you'd get it by now, but instead you dismiss everything w/o thinking about it.
I've already stated in this thread that everyone plays a role in reinforcing white supremacy (also defined in that link), including me, and that racism today is more often subconscious b/c it's ingrained in society all around us. You deny all of that stuff exists, so when I refer to racism, you have no option but to think I'm accusing you, personally, of conscientious racial animus, even though I've stated numerous times that I am not.
If it's all a bigger societal construct than the individual, why would I feel guilty for its existence, and why wouldn't I be compelled to do something about it? I mean, if you believed it existed, wouldn't you do something about it, too?
Again, I completely disagree and find it really pathetic that you're putting it out there like objective fact toward someone you almost always disagree with. It's kind of like snu liking all of your posts and none of mine. Of course he would. Why would I expect anything different and why would it have the slightest influence on me?
You're making up % and essentially showing that you'll only have such conversations if you get your way 100% on the ground rules, like a spoiled, privileged little brat. I've avoided pushing too hard on those definitions for racism and white supremacy for years and what did it get me? I'm done with those concessions for people who have proven they are beyond hope.
Question. When it starts to rain, are you sensitive to people saying there is a black cloud coming?
You equate yourself to Snu. Well nothing else to say except you are a dickhead
You’re such a pussy. Wouldn’t expect anything more from a Purdue loser.
I don't have very many interactions with you. But you are coming off pretty ignorant and less than witty. Good luck with your life.
Is this page still talking about public vs private schools? If so, a lot of the private school kids I know from high school ended up being drug addicts, like a fair amount of them.
Sadly, drug addiction does not discriminate against race, wealth or education. Don't think this is a fair argument for or against private vs public schools.
I know, I just wanted to make a broad generalization kind of like @KyFaninNC did. However, it was a trend I noticed.
And I probably knew them or know them if they went to the school on Poplar Level. Manual is a really good school though. If you went to Iroquois, you would’ve had a much different experience...
Most likely. Had some friends that went to Iroquois, and my dad actually was a teacher there from the mid 80s up until his retirement in the late 2000s. Not the greatest environment, but certainly no Valley or Shawnee.
Coming from a SNU clone I’ll take those as compliments. And thanks, same to you.
LOL that will never happen.... keep that shit out of my basket...
Not god per say but religious dogma and those that think the bible is the infallible, inerrant word of god and pretty much all the bad stuff that came from it.

And in case you didn't fail math, that puts the date at 1769.
Bert I quoted scriptures for you.... All your arguments about religion fail. Its your opinion against my facts. God wouldn't be happy going against his word.
My point is religion is not a moral compass. It doesn't take a god fearing, bible thumper to realize what is moral. The constitution when it was written, didn't include blacks. All those guys pretty much owned slaves.

And the very basic point that you can't seem to grasp is that in addition to some terrible and shameful things, organized religions have also done some great things. You are pushing a shallow, one-sided view and it ruins your credibility as the messenger for any of the criticism organized religions deserve. That's really unfortunate, b/c they absolutely deserve criticism.
Did we see this same thing happen with Hilldog to? Meaning numerous prosecutors said they would have prosecuted her.
It only ruins my credibility to anyone sucked in by the teachings of the bible..Anyone who has studied the bible knows what's there. I presume you haven't? If you haven't, you have no legs to stand upon. I can quote bad stuff from it all day long.. I bet there was more bad stuff accomplished in the name of religion than good stuff..... It set progress back and still aims to do so.
So you're ok with slavery, pedophiles, murder, rape, human sacrifice, symbolic cannibalism, genital mutilation, incest, using guilt to influence etc....
For someone that advocates human rights, you sure went 180 on this one...
You've read it with a predetermined conclusion about what you would find.
Asked and answered on all those ridiculous low-hanging fruits at the end of your post. I'm embarrassed for you.
This has nothing to do with my faith. I'm perfectly willing to criticize how it is practiced. You're doing it wrong.
