gfm7175: The article linked in the OP was full of examples of "racism going the other way". Any race of person can be a racist... White, Black, Pacific Islander, you name it... Is your definition of racism "white people putting down people of color", or is it something else? Can you provide the precise definition you are using? I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind your labeling of someone as a 'racist'...
Huh?? Asking you to define a term is "putting words in your mouth"?
All I had to go on before this response of yours was "I recognize the traditional version of racism where whites put down people of color."... I asked for clarification of particular terms within that assertion, and asked if that was your definition. Now, you have finally provided me with a definition that you are operating under, so I will take note of that.
What some poll came up with is irrelevant. Racism is not determined by a poll, even according to Webster's definition. Racism is not determined by means of a popularity contest.
It seems like you are taking a "guilty until proven innocent" approach, when it should really be the other way around. You know what, I think that PoliTalker is a racist. You are a fucking racist! Prove that you aren't...
It doesn't matter what Trump says; you will simply continue calling him a racist anyway. He has completely and utterly disavowed the KKK and "white supremacy" countless times, yet that is not enough for the liberal lot, and he is still called a "white supremacist" and a "racist". What specifically does he have to say/do in order for you to recognize that he is not a racist?
Yup, I disagree. Telling 4 Congresswomen that they should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came" is not racist in the slightest, EVEN under Webster's definition of 'racism', which you claim that you are operating under, as Trump never mentioned anything about racial differences nor superiority due to those differences. YOU are the one who is adding in the "of color" part... YOU are the one who is making the tweet out to be about race, and constructing a racist model to then accuse the President of. YOU are the one who is being the racist, not Trump.
You have a penchant for NOT giving Trump the benefit of the doubt. You don't like him, so you hurl insults at him, with "you're a fucking racist!!" being one of those insults.
Irrelevant, whether true or not.
Okay, so you are appealing to Webster. I don't think that Webster is 'wrong', but I do think that Webster's definition is incomplete, since he makes no mention of the fallacious reasoning that a racist makes use of, as the definition that I operate under is based on.
It happens in real life too. It depends on each individual circumstance that the individual faces. Personally, I try my best to not seek revenge, but I am not perfect by any means.
You have already ignored Webster's definition within this very response of yours, as I noted above.
No, that's the same definition from logic which has always existed.
Oh, so y'all are the "caring people" and we all aren't "caring people"? That is bigotry on your part. This is further evidence that it is YOU who is creating these racist and bigoted models that you accuse Trump of creating. It is YOU who is being the racist and the bigot, not Trump.
Why are you so obsessed over the skin color of those four congresswomen? Can't they just be referred to as congresswomen?
There is no "new right penchant" for redefining racism. I define racism as the logical fallacy that it is and has always been. Webster's definition isn't wrong, but it is incomplete.
Nope, that's the Left which typically does that. The Right sometimes attempts to do so as well, but not as regularly as the Left.
You can't assume a person to be guilty until proven innocent. You have it ass backwards. If you are making the claim that he is guilty, then you must prove that he is guilty. Otherwise, it should be assumed that he is innocent.
I get it; you hold a strong but completely unfounded hatred and vitriol towards the President, otherwise known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You have shown no racism of his, even under your own preferred Webster's definition of 'racism'. You ignore your own preferred definition and scream "you're a fucking racist!!" at him due to the high level of hatred and vitriol that you hold towards him.
Here is the tweet word for word... Highlight for me which parts of it are racist.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly..........and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how........it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!
