The Anti-Targ Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 32 minutes ago, dmc515 said: I think @The Anti-Targ cut off quoting the Merriam-Webster definition at the most important part: In that sense, no, we inarguably are not all bigots. The reason I cut that bit off is firstly because it's an illustrative explanation, not actually part of the definition. But also because Nazis are "members of a group". If you cast a net wide like that, then is lends credence to the argument that we're all bigots. The important criteria are contained within the formal definition element.

Clegane'sPup Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I had to correct my prior post if you care to check it. These Nazi wannabes are fruit loops. My saying that makes me a bigot by definition. To try to have a meaningful conversation about the motivation of the off the wall survivalists, gun toting goof balls, white supremacists, and religious fundamentalists--- see what I did there ---defeats the purpose. Common sense does not always win. Sometimes people are just stupid. Did anyone pay attention the https://www.visitmo.com/missouri-travel/where-the-civil-war-began.aspx If a person were to actually go to the Holocaust Museum located in Washington, DC ---- the person would understand the depths of evil the Nazi regime adhered to --- homosexuals, gypsies, Jews, non-whites it made no difference. The problem arises when little neo nobody’s attach themselves to a cause which isn’t really a cause. The Klan has no real power. There are pockets of slimy bottom feeders to be sure. Saying all of that by dictionary definition makes me a bigot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Some of Robert E. Lee's descendants are appalled at the white supremacists and think it would be fine to move Confederate statues into museums: http://washingtonjournal.com/2017/08/16/robert-e-lees-family-just-gave-unexpected-response-trumps-charlottesville-controversy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I prefer to just point out the colloquial understanding of the word (which is what I quoted), rather than this "intolerance towards unreasonable attitudes" convolution you got going cuz it's simpler, but to each his own. Point is we all arrived at the same conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Republican led committee to discuss Charlottesville as act of domestic terrorism. Aside from making Trump support apparent terrorists, this can also mean much more serious charges can be brought to bear against both the driver and the people organizing the meet.

lokisnow Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I had lunch from a taco truck today. But it was in the Parking lot at work, not on the corner--a distinction with a difference (clearly America has been made great as a result)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yes, we live in a timeline where there's a very real chance that a Juggalo rally will come to violence with a pro-Trump rally scheduled at the same time. https://twitter.com/meakoopa/status/897956122295803904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At what point do you stop babying them and take them seriously? They support ideology of a regime that murdered millions -- isn't that admiration inherently dangerous?

Perhaps you mean to ask if we all have biases towards people of other groups? Because the answer is yes for most folks. Racism should be understood as a spectrum and that "gray" racism - in other words, not overt nazi shit - is also deeply damaging to society. Here's a good general article on it with a racism scale that I think is helpful for those like yourself who may not be very knowledgeable about bigotry and racism in general. https://medium.com/@harterhealing/how-america-spreads-the-disease-that-is-racism-by-not-confronting-racist-family-members-and-friends-effb68da7e97 1 hour ago, Kalbear said: Also, remember when the great threat to America was that there would be taco truck at every corner?

all swedes are racist Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 taking on institutional racism can be incredibly daunting-- it may not be possible, easily, or likely to actually change minds or entrenched systems, but attacking or mitigating the tools used to enforce said racism can lie within the hands of any of us; i think this is an amazing idea that i hope will take off and spread to many more communities new orleans chapter of democratic socialists are organizing free break light repair (faulty brake lights being o e of the most common reasons for cops to stop a car, especially driven by a non-white operator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
