So ALL trump supporters are made of this? EVER single one? AMAZING!!!!

When there's a wide range of candidates and the base seems predisposed to choose the one appealing to white nationalists, I'd say a good number are what he's appealing to and the numbers bear this out. As for the rest, they don't seem to have a problem standing on the same side of history as the rest.


See. You "Assumed" I am a Trump fan. But I am not. Your ignorance is showing, again.

Oh I'm sure you'll be punching the ticket for clinton. The point here is you appear upset people don't take your beliefs seriously and therefore predispose to anyone who says cracking down on black employees trying to take a stand will make merica great again.


Prejudice is all well and good as long as the right people are being prejudged.

Didn't you know?

Oh I'm sure you're an "independent" who's still undecided.

I'm not upset at all. I know I will not vote for Clinton. Pretty crappy lot including all of them.

Maybe this analogy works better. I have some iq's and you most likely have some iq's, too, but it's not exactly the same problem for both sides.

On further reflection, I have no idea why I thought that explanation would work.

---
Srsly tho, "both sides are the same" is a terrible argument particularly on rather imbalanced issues.

It's your opinion it's rather imbalanced. All you do is insult people who aren't like you, live where you do, or agree with you. I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long to realize all you do is troll with no valuable additions to threads. Inserting race, Trump, etc when it's not on topic or relevant. It's the same thing all the time, and I'm done participating.

Given the horse & water proverb, which relationship to people & things in this thread might be most applicable? In light of that, would you honestly say you're here to seek insight? And not just validation, which I'm admittedly not providing.

And in all sincerity, please do let me know if I treated anyone unfairly, preferably not just losers in a battle of wits they thought they would win.

Your ignorance is showing. There are more than two presidential candidates on the ballot this year, again. It warms my cockles when I see those ridiculing others for their perceived prejudices, in-turn doing the EXACT same thing. If you see a person who is voting for trump and you immediately think the worst thing possible of that person. But let someone say during a conversation about blacks boycotting work that ANYONE who does not show up for work to protest a perceived affront to there person-hood should be fired, and you are the first to call them a racist.
(I cant comment on what this person would say in a thread about a white "celebrity" telling all whites to boycott work, as soon as there is one we will know for sure.)
How about you actually practice what it is that you demand of others? You might actually find that without all the name calling and belittling, you agree on something, or that god forbid you might find you like this person. Why does it always have to revolve around skin color?

It's always ironic, but understandable, that people involved with rather racist movements tend to be the ones who think racism is over these days. Just fyi, this is the same person rather offended that someone might get fired for sexual harassment. It would also help to clarify what exactly you're contending here other than you hate me for mocking people you can relate to.

You sure do like to make a lot of assumptions don't you? Where was it said that racism is over, I cant find that claim in this thread, or was that you just assuming that someone meant that when they said that someone who does not show up for work they should be fired regardless of color? It seams to me that based on your insistence that comment alone is an indication of racism that it might be you that needs there to be a boogie man in the room for you to feel better about your self. Perhaps some past transgression or wrong you did to someone? (I know an assumption, but what the hell, it seams to be what we do right?)

It was also never said that I hate you, I don't know you, how can I hate you or have any opinion of you except to comment on your postings?
If you truly need me to clarify anything I've posted I would be happy to elaborate on any point you are confused about, but if your still unclear after my previous post you are reading only the words you want to hear and not what I typed.

Let's take a look at your reply to me here

"So a black college is not raciest but a white one is? A womans club is OK but a mens is sexiest. Unless and until we remove color and sex from the title of things someone somewhere will have a reason to point their finger."

Should I explain this in words you might understand or can you try to take it from here? Turns out you can figure out quite a bit about someone based on what they believe; who knew.

In fact I'm a registered independent, and in fact I'm not voting. At least not for president.

You got any other jackassed insights Mr Know It All?

Similarly, your posts are also archived for posterity. Do I need to to look through it to see if my guess of a predisposition toward american conservatism is correct?

Yes, and therefore like a machine I am voting for Trump?

Again in English this time please. That post like my others are of ones of inclusiveness and stating that I would like to see a world free from color and sex being a determining factor. Perhaps you need to re-read them without your tinted glasses.

Black institutions exist from the separate but equal era. When civil right legislation ended white-only institutions, many on that side thought it was rather unfair that the blacks got to keep theirs.

Out of charity I'll offer you an opportunity here to ponder that for a while (and do take your time because in all sincerity it won't come easy given the capacity available) to figure out why that line of thought reflects the proverbial privilege often mentioned. To be clear, figuring something out means deducing something novel instead of repeating the same old ones, like the kind of experience you've might had in school once.

I can't tell if you're trolling or just unknowingly obtuse.

If this election's taught us anything, it's that dumb people believe a lot of the same things.

Well, it's Monday again, maybe he meant THIS Monday... let's see.

Or maybe he's another clueless bougie who thinks his skin color gives him the right to finger-wag.
