Biden Enjoys Armed Protection While Fighting to Disarm Americans

[WingedHussar]

What is one definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.

As I pointed out, Leon Trotsky politicized the term racism, so if you try to use it against leftists, you are tacitly accepting their moral framework. Fighting on a battleground selected by your opponent is a sure way to lose.

In an assault case, reasonable apprehension and fear is determined from the claimants perspective, not the brandisher.

 

[Maximus1]

That permits pure RELATIVISM and a total lack of societal values and ethics.

 

[WingedHussar]

No, just different values.

 

[Maximus1]

I described " different values" so I agree.

No, you’re not. That’s as ridiculous as the recently offered implication that Trump used a phrase that Stalin used, so therefore…

The fact is you must tell the truth. Trotsky used as demagoguery. American progressives use it like Trotsky, as demagoguery. That doesn’t mean telling the truth is also demagoguery. That’s a false equivalence.

If you want to keep going back to a dry well, have at it. We can see if DR3 had any effect after this election, and more importantly, if all the time and energy could have had more benefit applied elsewhere.

Unless you can show that all whites, each one individually, has gained a privilege (even that is a vague term), designating it as something attached to someone’s immutable characteristic is racist.

Certainly all whites have gained a benefit from racism against minorities. The earnings levels in their communities were affected by it, even if each individual in a majority community had never met a minority. I’m not going to set out the long explanation but this was made plain to me by the explanation from an Irish priest in 1981.

You statement that there is no doubt that some whites benefited from racism proves the point. There is no way that a statement of ‘white privilege’ is a racist term.

That’s attributed to Albert Einstein who never encountered a dollar bill changer!!!

You seem intent to defend their philosophy. That’s interesting.

Their lies about conservatives have been very effective, particularly since conservatives have failed to push back strenuously.

That is factually false.

The earnings levels in their communities were affected by it, even if each individual in a majority community had never met a minority.

My earning level has nothing to do with race. Blacks, Hispanics, etc. earn the same as I do

I’m not going to set out the long explanation

Good, because it makes no sense to waste one on a concept that is by definition a racist one.

You statement that there is no doubt that some whites benefited from racism proves the point.

When it is said that all whites have privilege solely because they are white, that is racist.

There is no way that a statement of ‘white privilege’ is a racist term.

It is racist in every way.

You cannot argue with a lack of results. Is DR3 more successful than 30 years ago?

Telling the truth does have to be.
But if they stop the lie that conservatives are racist, I’m perfectly happy to drop the issue entirely.

Your earning level is a function of your community. Your community and your upbringing were influenced by the earning level of folks there and what was available to them. I’m not just talking about money but opportunities. By taking jobs which should have gone to more qualified minority members, majority communities had unearned gains.

You ignore logic and post unverified conclusions.

My earning level was determined, in large part, by the career field I entered. People of color in that field earn as much as I do.

By taking jobs which should have gone to more qualified minority members, majority communities had unearned gains.

I didn’t take a job in such a way. In fact, the opposite was true. At one time I worked in a position where there was a Native American preference.

You ignore logic and post unverified conclusions.

What I ignore is the ongoing efforts of the American progressive movement to divide Americans by race, by spreading misinformation that leads to racial tension.
