Racism rears its ugly head

Wasn't directed at you. Try to keep up.
Was it directed at me? Because I have no idea what I did lol. just replied, with another word meaning, something similar.

As a member of a very multi racial family, I think racism sucks and so is being a bigot.

Having said that everyone has biases, and some of them are for good cause.

My cousins grew up in a rough part of Los Angeles County in the 80s and 90s. They knew exactly where not to go because their lives will be threatened. Does that make them racist or bigots? Or just aware of reality ? And what does it make The people who would threaten their lies if they went there? And how do we know which ones would have taken their lives, because you just have to assume all of them?

It’s a complicated matter.

What are you talking about? You asked a question. I answered with a possible answer. It’s not really all that deep. Why would I need to control speech of a racist or a bigot? I’m big enough boy to figure out who they are. I don’t need the government to do it for me. I’ve always just ignored those people if I felt that’s what they were.
You guys get lost in the weeds a lot. Someone tries to quash the use of the word racist(or racism) by saying it's just a word that a prominent communist made up to control others and liberals have been using it ever since. The inference imo is don't use that word or you're just an in the closet liberal or communist. Especially don't use it against someone posting memes that belittle other races. Nice try, but we all know what the word stands for in today's environment. Does it get abused? Sure. That doesn't give one the right to post hurtful, hateful words because others have overused it to the point it's almost meaningless to the haters. Haters are gonna hate.

Public forum friend.
So what are you wuting when my post clearly wasn't directed at you? Aren't you busy dodging my replies about you wanting to have it both ways? Critical about posts while willing to allow much more horrific things because who are we to judge?

Well, I’m not posting those and I’m not necessarily giving my seal of approval to the posts. But I will do something you apparently didn’t learn throughout life that “sticks and stones may break my bones but names don’t hurt me”.
Usually, I’ll just ignore those people because most of them just want attention if they truly are what you say, they are. I think think you might be the one lost in the weeds here. If there’s posters you don’t like just put them on ignore… easy. I’m guessing they haven’t violated any protocols here so they can have it. Again, what someone might think is hateful another might not. And as I’ve said, protecting speech, You, or I feel is hateful, is very important.

I have a feeling the liberal comment made by someone was just to get your goat, and it apparently worked very well.

Come on now it’s just a question, pretty simple one too!

Does anyone think that physically putting these quoted images as posters up in public places would be an acceptable or advised thing to do?


Curious if others have thoughts on this that they might be willing to share.

You won’t!

It's exactly the kind of tactic that conservatives criticize liberals for. Try to shut down any criticism of liberals by saying conservatives are racist. Only this time it's saying if a conservative criticizes a fellow conservative he's really a liberal or gasp, a communist. And his buddies jump on the bandwagon. Don't criticize our making fun of other races. They're all inferior and criminals after all. Who are you to say otherwise you liberal(and what I'm responding to now is just one of a number of times this has been said to me).

If y'all want to criticize the groups of blacks who run into stores and grab everything in sight have at it. Same with the riots and looting in 2020. The constant shooting in our inner cities. These are real things that deserve to be criticized. It's when you make overt statements that they're all like that, they're all animals, etc that I object. And rather than admit that's too extreme you double down and attack me for being an in the closet lib. YOU never do anything wrong so it must be me.

We all have our weaknesses. No one is perfect. It's when we admit we are wrong about something, that we are truly wrong about, that we learn and grow. Can argue it all day long if you want, but condemning all people of a certain race as always being this or that, will always be wrong. And people who claim they are Christians, especially those who claim they are one of the true Christians, are in for a rude awakening standing before God someday if they continue down this path.

I've shared plenty. You object to those posts, no? You want them to stop posting them, no? At every turn you have said anyone participating in homosexuality, abortion, putting sexually graphic books in school libraries, are fine in the sight of God. He loves them no matter what. Now it seems we have found something you actually object to and want to stop. So when it comes down to it your vision of how things should be matters to you. I would suggest that you tell the poster to continue with such if that's what he wants to do. We must try to understand where he is coming from. Forgive him as God does. That would be consistent with what you've been saying for many months now. You could say for the sake of his soul's salvation he should stop saying such hateful things. That's consistent with the Bible. But you reject what the Bible says on salvation and say that was just a man who wrote it. So to be consistent with what you say you believe you'll have to allow such posts to continue with no objection because that's what God who loves all of us would want.

You are wrong.

I never gave my position or opinion on them the issue and I didn’t even answer the question that I asked. Go read for yourself, you filled in the blanks. I know that is your posting schtick so so get it.

But it was just a question, nothing more nothing less.

One you won’t answer.

I’m well aware you can argue all day lol, I have no idea what you’re arguing about. Definitely not gonna read all that because again you seem to have went off the deep end about what I don’t know. Maybe you’re having a bad day 🤷‍♂️

I have no strong feelings for or against them.
You want them to stop posting them, no?
Doesn’t matter to me. If God wants them to stop bad enough they will stop.

I answered, you just don't like the answer. And my post was consistent with the philosophy you've put forth for months now.
