"She also griped of “reverse racism,” and targeted the Steelers specifically, deeming them “just as bad as the rest of the over paid baboons.”
“How many men and women have lost limbs or died to protect this county and you baboons want respect,” she complained. “If you want respect you need to earn it and so far you haven’t. Stop watching, or going to a game and paying for over priced food, water and tickets. Let’s so how the baboons get paid when white people stop paying their salaries.”"


Wow, just wow.:eek:

No blaming alcohol or Ambien on that one.

Well I know one man who never was in danger of battle injury on account of bone spurs.

"Oh hai Kaepernick here, just got a new campaign with Nike in time for football season! So you'll be seeing me a lot more this year! K thx byeeee!"

LOL. People going apeshit over Nike's move. Cutting the swooshes off of their shoes and socks and shirts. So much outrage! Something about American troops not actually fighting for your freedoms or something...can't figure it out.

I got a kick out of a self-proclaimed veteran getting mad in one of the first replies... sir, you fought precisely so that people could have to freedom to protest like this.

He's a poor man's Felix. Weak troll skills. Not making America great...
I just don't take myself as seriously as you do. It's all well and good to pontificate on the evils of the world, but it changes nothing, it accomplishes nothing. All of your lofty ideals and beliefs have been spelled out here so like minded people can agree with you, making you feel like part of the tribe. But it costs you nothing, you risk nothing, and at the end of the day, you've accomplished nothing. I don't don't have the need for that sort of emotional reach around.

I don't think I understand your word salad.

Once again, I'm left befuddled, as I think you believe you're casting a proper insult of my comment, but instead you're just saying "well I do believe I'm an idiot that can't read". That or you're genuinely just saying you didn't understand my comment (even though it wasn't terribly complex). I've given you the benefit of the doubt before and that proved to be a lesson in futility, hence my assumption.

I gotta give you credit, I did chuckle at your first line. Hey guys, look how non-seriously he takes over the top racism! I picture you there with a leather jacket and thumbs up mimiccing the Fonz (I have to hope that age if the explanation for your postings). That's an...interesting way to try and get people to take your comments seriously (considering how much you complained that people wouldn't take you seriously, its odd that now you're trying to play it as you don't take things seriously...). Its like you're reverse moonbogging.

That too is an interesting argument. "Hey, don't consider stuff before you do it, just do it, at least then you accomplished something, it being good or bad, well that is of lesser importance to actually doing something!" Because you're clearly implying that people aren't also acting on any of this stuff. But I think that is a major part of your problem, you seem to think none of this is real or is only "theoretical" or "just talking", while the reason people are discussing it, is because it is leading to actual real tangible problems. But hey, why care about a politician being racist, its not like its their job to represent people and enact policy and laws. Oh, wait, that's exactly what it is? Hmm, still not seeing why anyone would think one of them being racist might be problematic though. Oh well, the point is that there's no sense in talking about it, that's never accomplished anything. Oh wait, because their racist Twitters got people talking they've since resigned? Well that's embarrassing. Damn, if only you'd gotten them your "I'm so nonconformist, look how I don't take myself seriously" argument you could've saved this wonderful fine upstanding racist's position!

Personally, I don't find "not being racist" to be a terribly "lofty" ideal, at least insofar as I don't feel that its that difficult to not be blatantly stupidly racist, but that is kinda the crux of the problem we've been having and definitely a major point of contention in the disagreements that you have with people. I am in almost constant amazement that people go "there's not actual racism, in fact its so not-racist that its now racist against white people!!!" and then proceed to try and support this by being almost cartoonishly over the top racist. And somehow that's ok, cause, hey, Greenman don't take himself seriously.

Please, continue to do nothing. Or in this case less than nothing, because by your own admission you're doing even less than that and for seemingly no reason at all. So what exactly is your need then? To play devil's advocate? Which, that's every bit as, if not more of, a pointless endeavor (unless you're just genuinely trying to support it, in which case you're not playing devil's advocate, you're just simply being racist), only you'd seemingly be doing it to be some hipster nonconformist? You clearly have some need though, as evidenced by the fact that you regularly post on here. For some, it is to have actual discussion, for others its seemingly so they can play "I'm not a racist, but..." (where the game is actually to see if they can try to marginalize or defend some racist person or situation, and still believe that they aren't a racist). I guess for you its to try and keep your nonconformist credibility?

That you're proud of not conforming with people who are taking issue with racism, well, I must ask, do you listen to yourself? Because you're basically saying that you'd rather be racist out of spite than to dare compromise your not lofty non-seriousness. So if by joke/troll, or out of spite, any which way, it just leads back to you being racist.

Given how regularly you complained about people not being willing to seriously discuss things, gee I wonder why?

That could be correct. As the statement made no sense to me at all, and reading it again just now I still don't get what you were trying to say.
Everything you posted beyond that bit above was a long winded way of saying harrumph.

I love it when tribalists try and pin their damaged brains on liberals. Sorry mate. I actually cringe when people like my posts...

Keep trying to paint everyone who thinks you are an idiot with the same brush, though! It's fun to watching you sitting in the corner...

He can't help himself. Damaged brains cannot be fixed...

Hodson and Busseri found in a correlational study that lower intelligence in childhood is predictive of greater racism in adulthood, with this effect being mediated and explained through conservative ideology. They also found poor abstract reasoning skills were related to homophobic attitudes which was mediated through authoritarianism and low levels of intergroup contact.

They could have saved themselves a lot of time, research, energy, and keystrokes by simply reading some of the derp posts here...
