3rdnlng Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sounds too Jewish. Still wondering why you needed the cross. You need some sheets and oversized snow cone hats too? I have a sale on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCinBuffalo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't see any racism in the article, just poor writing. So, you feel ok to call DIE a racist no matter what he posts? If he decides to post an article on "energy independence" are you going to call him a !@#$ing racist? I do. Well, actually, how about this: I feel comfortable with assigning 90% as the propensity for a DIE PPP post to have racial overtones. As of now, I can only be absolutely certain of one thing WRT DIE on this board. If DIE is truly concerned about: the failures/unintended consequences of affirmative action policies, hip-hop culture being proven to be self-destructive to all those who engage in it, including African Americans, hip-hop culture being disproportionately destructive to African Americans, due to its pervasive influence in their communities extortionists being allowed to operate freely under the guise of "racial advisement", thus damaging and distorting real cases of racism ...his posts here demonstrate that he is the single worst person to advocate against the policies, values and attitudes that have created these realities. These concerns should be taken seriously, by those who are capable of addressing them in a serious manner. DIE says he's genuinely concerned, but his method of raising these concerns is silly, and can never be confused with being serious. That is all we can truly "know".

That's why I bring this stuff up to expose phonies like DC Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a serious discussion, come to the table with a serious question or proposal. Don't try to have a serious discussion based on a screaming fight in a welfare office or a video of an old lady being harrassed by a black kid (I only watched 2-3 minutes so I could be inaccurate). I would welcome a frank discussion here on race. I'm white, maybe. I think I know three guys here that are black. Although one is a dick, I don't think he's a dick because of race---he's just a dick. All of them would add valuable discussion, although you might feel a little dirty after any discussion with the one. Anyway, if you want frank discussion just ask for it.

OCinBuffalo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I want to have this discussion but every time its brought up people get uncomfortable and use the racist card to deflect it. That's why I bring this stuff up to expose phonies like DC Tom. If that is true, then why not start a thread with: "hip-hop culture is self-destructive to all those who engage in it, including African Americans", and, a reasonable group of #s/other data that support that conclusion---which is easy rather than: "Bryce Harper, conservative hero" based on a article that is predicated on a poorly conceived metaphor, such that we can REASONABLY question the writer's motives, and by proxy, your motives for linking it? The first is undeniable, and therefore, you could have lots of fun with whatever turd wanted to call you a racist for posting hate....facts. That's how I'd approach it. "Yes, yes, you are offended by the truth....therefore, I am not allowed to say it? Blow it out your ass, you unmitigated moron!". Sounds like me, right? But, as you see, I also don't have a myopic approach to starting threads. I will start a thread about anything...especially if there's a good chance I will be able to make fun of somebody in it. You might consider building up some credibility on other topics here first, and then getting back to this stuff.
