You keep responding to my posts then claim I have a problem. Is that really your stance? Is the "problem" due to you getting challenged on your post? Do you feel you can write anything you want and anyone that dare challenges your assumptions has a "problem"? Are you really suggesting that debating on a message board constitutes a problem? And you last sentence is totally confusing. I'm baffled as to why you think I want you to state that all races can be racist. My original response to your original post was about trivializing racism.

So you are not shameful for practicing racial division. Is it because you didn't realize you were participating in the endeavor or because you knew full well what you were doing and condone the tactic? And you sure made it clear you were "offended" by the use of the word "colored". I know it was fake outrage, but you emphatically made clear your ridiculous proclamation. And thanks for the chuckle. Getting called ignorant by you is equivalent to a six year old accusing Albert Einstein of being ignorant. I'm not implying I'm anywhere near the plateau of Einstein, nor am I implying you are anywhere close to a six year old. We both could respectfully aspire to such.

So it is crystal clear that you prefer fake news in which you Liberal gods tell you how to think versus real news. Thank you for your admission.

Shameful...and sad that I expected such a pedestrian response. Why respond at all if this is indicative of the zenith of thought level you can attain.

So you derogatorily say I have the ability to read minds, then offer your own attempt at reading minds. What a hypocrite. When you and others go around calling me, people on this board, people from Southeast Texas, and frankly all White people racist with zero evidence, don't get your panties in a wad when someone dares question your analysis. And don't be surprised when people don't take acts of real racism seriously, because you have played the card so often we no longer pay any attention to your "cries of wolf".

So when you just ask a simple question you commonly but the word in all caps and add three question marks? You wasn't asking a question were you. You were trying to make a statement that you were highly offended by the use of the word "colored", and thus trying to play the victim of some egregious act that you in turn trivialize by your actions. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Who are you accusing of believing racism is not real? And why are trying to shut down the debate. This topic not going the way you want it so you try to shut it down? And which part are you so offended that you feel we should no longer participate in this topic because your feelings are hurt? The part where Kountzer falsely said that Trump will soon be rounding up Americans in immigration raids? (I can see that, that is offensive.) Or what about dBerrySports fantasizing about this large White nationalist movement hell-bent on taking Civil Liberties away? No? It must be the trivialization of racism. So the culprit has to be Big Girl, who tried to shut down the conversation with the old tried and true but worn out race shaming semantics card. And every time this tactic is employed, real acts of racism can go unnoticed because many people are tired of the constant false accusations of racism and quit believing all accusations. When you accuse anyone and everyone that disagrees with the former president's policies as being a racist, then you are the one trivializing racism. When you call the current president racist with no facts to back it up, you trivialize racism. When you state that many Americans are inherently racist and are forming a White nationalist group determined to return to segregation days, you are trivializing racism. When you try to shut down a conversation by pretending to be offended by a word, you are trivializing racism. So PamFam10, who do you think is the one(s) trivializing racism?

1. Metallica opening for Ozzy Osbourne. (right before Cliff Burton was killed in a bus accident) 2. Scorpions opening for Judas Priest. 3. Every Jimmy Buffett concert I've attended...especially the preceding tailgate parties. 4. 1984 Texxas Jam 5. Cheap Trick at Daddy Long Legs in Beaumont (I was 13 or 14 years old at the time) 6. Motorhead opening for Van Halen 7. Saxon opening for Black Sabbath 8. Rush (no opening act) 9. 1983 Texxas Jam (this one probably would have been the best except Styx, the headliner, played nothing but songs from Kilroy Was Here, an album I hated) 10. AC/DC (If You Want Blood Tour...didn't know the group at the time but became an instant fan) I quit going to concerts in the early 90s. I was not boycotting, just decided I liked spending money on albums over concert tickets. I still occasionally attended some concerts here and there, but I was heavily into classic rock and quit paying attention to modern bands. From around 1978 to 1988 I attended more concerts than I can remotely remember. These ten (I saw Jimmy Buffett around 10 times during this period) stand out in my mind.

Caucasian? Maybe we should wait on Big Girl's definition. (This second part is more sarcastic than my first part.)

This quote coming from someone who called practically everyone on this board (and all of Southeast Texas) racist with not one iota of supporting evidence. That is rich. And the irony of baddog's post flew two miles over your head. Similar to the "fact" that Black people can't be racist.

If your definition of "free thinker" is someone that follows what his Liberal leaders tell him to believe...like a good little sheeple, then I can emphatically state that no he is not. Too bad we can't say that for everyone on this board.

What do you think it means? Please give your definition? And it's nice to see you come out of your safe space for a few minutes to post your thoughts on here. I'm just curious as to how long I will have to wait for a reply.

I guess Soros broke out his checkbook again. The Liberal loons are all over the comments section of the article. Those paid commenters might not be too bright, but they are so full of hate it reaches the point of hilarity. I'm conflicted on whether to laugh at them or feel sorry for them.

How did this topic get to the bottom of the page? One more new topic and it shockingly falls to Page 2. So I'll do the obligatory TTT. How can a topic devoted to lies by Trump fall that far down when the Left is insistent that Trump lies daily. Can someone on the Left please keep posting these "lies" so we can keep shooting them down and exposing the biased media and the wing-nut, hizzy-fit throwing, safe space seeking, cry baby Liberals for what they are. This topic has been entertaining. Let's keep the exposure's front and center.

Can you back up your claims? I bet not. The illegals being "rounded up" are congruent with the ICE raids done under Obama. All of the rounded up illegals, aside from being illegally in this country, have felonies, warrants, or deportation papers already. It seems the bias media didn't want to advertise these Obama raids but now find it front page news under Trump. And frankly, I'm for rounding up anyone that is here illegally. Just the mere fact of illegality should be enough for deportation. Why do many of the Left, and a lot on the Right also, think that if you are in the country ILLEGALLY that you have a right to stay? I would love to tell a cop "you shouldn't give me a ticket for speeding because I followed all of the other traffic laws." And please show evidence of any thought given to deporting children of illegals and citizens born here. This wreaks heavily of the wing-nut Liberal media's recent blatherings. Fear mongering at it's finest.

I'm guessing he thinks it is disingenuous because it doesn't fit his already drawn conclusions. Have to cope with mental conflicts somehow. I would love to hear his explanation though.

You said the White nationalist movement is happening and Civil Rights were in jeopardy. For a movement to hold any type of significant weight, it must have a large following. For any Civil Rights to be repealed, there must a substantially large and almost definitely a majority of White people to actively support the roll-back efforts. Therefore, I stand by my use of the word "majority". And if you actually think that many/most White people are in reality racist, please quantify that with some source. I've given you ample proof that the majority of White people are not racist, but you still seem to be clinging to that racist stereotype.

Although the article did state that the Democrats are starting to analyze the data in an effort to correct their erroneous predictions, they are still in denial about the media bias. The article reasoned that the public doesn't trust the media because "they haven't gotten it right all the time", when in reality they are untrustworthy for their blatant bias. And they still haven't learned their lesson. In fact, it has gotten worse since Trump won the election. FoxNews has been doing a good job of showing clips of the mainstream media asking softball questions to Obama, then cutting to clips of the questions being asked to Trump. Even worse is their fawning analysis of the decisions and intentions of Obama/Admin, then compared to their hypocritical analysis of Trump/Admin on the same subjects. I guess when you live in an elitist bubble, it's hard to see your own bias.

According to his post he does: No ambiguity there. Now let's see if he will back up that contention. Like I stated earlier, for that to be happening, logic dictates you would have to have a large, probably (almost definitely) majority of White people in consensus. Recent history emphatically disproves this notion, but the racist stereotype still resides inside some people's minds.

You said that a White nationalist movement is happening. If it was just a fringe element, there would be nothing to worry about. You have to get a large following in any movement to get things done. You believe a movement capable of change is occurring therefore you believe there is a large White nationalist movement. You don't have to specifically state something to get a point across. And none of those programs would have ever come close to seeing the light of day if it wasn't for the very large support and active participation of White people. Same goes for minority elected officials. I never mentioned or even hinted that Black people did not fight for these things, but I will state emphatically that none would have occurred without a large or even majority support from White people. Frankly, it is a simple case of math.

I hear this tired old rhetoric on a daily basis...the majority of White people are racists. The same White people that passed Civil Rights legislation. The same White people that passed Affirmative Action legislation. The same White people that have spent trillions of dollars on minority programs and wealth redistribution. The same White people that elected thousands of minority government leaders and a Black president twice. If the majority of White people are racists, they sure are bad at it.

Can you name one of these "yea hoos"? It's easy to profile and throw out unsubstantiated and ridiculous claims...you know, the exact thing the Left finds intolerable but uses as common practice. Since this tactic has been completely overused, most on here have become immune to such ridiculousness. But keep trying, you might find a pejorative that fulfills it's purpose of allowing you to deflect from the topic.

Odd that her sales increased everywhere else. Does Nordstroms cater to snowflakes?

If he does then we have something in common.

I know this a silly question that will go unanswered, but can you show specifics of what you mean? (I laughed the whole time I was typing that sentence.) I guess the better question would be...Do you think anybody gives one iota of thought to your unsubstantiated, baseless, and thoughtless claims? It is certainly looking like you have joined the melting snowflake crowd. (California is currently experiencing flood conditions after a five year drought.) Sometimes I wish I could just spend most of my time in fantasy land. I sometimes feel like trying it, but am afraid I might never come back to reality in a sane manner. Twisting facts and creating untruths is an easy way to create a mental "safe space" in which to enjoy a perpetual state of bliss. I'm just worried about that hard crash that seems to always accompany the inevitable return to reality.
