It never fails, there are always people here claiming this or that bigotry. Some of it is legitimate, most of it is manipulative and agenda driven. You see as I have learned if you are not dogmatically liberal you are not welcome here. If you believe blacks by and large have it better than when Lewis was getting his head caved in, or that the silly notion that a 12 year old girl should not approve her own abortion you don't belong here.
We have passions fueled everyday. Now some are concluding once again, that blacks were unfairly targeted in the purge by Kos. Wow. Kos? A bigot? And I won't even get into that but will tell you how I think in unvarnished Blue Tex style. I support full civil union rights for all couples, but won't call it marriage, because I believe the state should have never messed with that term. It is my belief that term is for God to ordain. Not the state. That is my belief. That does not mean I hate gays. I believe minorities are better off than in the past, and white privilege exists, but not to the extent that some think. It is entirely possible you are an asshole that is black. When you say the site is getting whiter I will rightfully point out the wrath I would face if I said the site is getting blacker. Is that a RW talking point? Maybe. But it is correct. When you blame Jews for killing Palestinians consider that it goes both ways. Maybe they just want to fight. Look at a quote I re-wrote accusing Corwin Weber of racism
It doesn't change the fact that the base problem here is the Palestinian, Arab and Persian fundamental inability to lower themselves to living beside Jews without trying to kill them.
That sounds, out of context, bad. And maybe it is. But I re-wrote the quote.
It doesn't change the fact that the base problem here is the Arizonans fundamental inability to lower themselves to living beside Mexicans without trying to kill them.
Now that statement would have recs out the wazoo for rightfully pointing out Arpaio's lunacy. So you see sometimes it really comes down to whose ox is getting gored. Ghana is majority black and some in the Government wants to arrest all gays. I was hr'ed for pointing that out. Contrary to popular belief anyone can be racist. The most prejudiced actually use accusations of racism to further their own hateful cause; all sides do it. Some comments go way too far, true, and I don't support those. But what I do support to the extent possible is free expression and exchange of thought. I will call out double standards where I see it and manipulation where I find it. I support gay rights but not dogmatic adherence to any agenda, where I see that the cause is becoming controlling. No person, regardless of sexual orientation or race or most whatever else you want to assign should be discriminated against, but nobody should get preferential treatment either. I will fight for you to hit, not for you to whine when you strike out.
If I thought Kos was a bigot I would join the boycott. But what I see is an attempt to use the race card to intimidate one of our own. Kos is egotistical and tempermental, but racist? Get real.
The PC is killing the party and killing the country. We have to stand up and speak honestly. Because if you don't hammer it out online, you will use hammers offline.
