Supporting the bigot's act of discriminating against individuals in groups while giving lip service to treating people like individuals is something a bigot does. You treat groups like you are scared- like trump told us to be.



'If the cap fit, let them wear it'

lol Trump's friend "Jim" who said Paris is too scary to actually visit anymore is wil

I'm sure the relatives of the 50 people killed in Orlando don't think it is insignificant. Or the 14 killed in San Bernadino for that matter. Or the Boston marathon bombing, where it was only a matter of luck that more people weren't killed.

Hardly anecdotal BS, as you so dismissively describe it.

I'm sure you'd apply the same logic to people killed from gun violence that is much more prevalent sushy?

I wish. I know a member of mar a Lago and he said it's amazing how deep he rolls with his SS detail when golfing. He showed a video of him out out there hitting a ball and then he walks towards it with like 10 dudes following him. Funny. He says he's the nicest guy in the world.

Prana used to give me a lot of **** about Philly, talking about how I used to say it's a rough city, etc etc. Meanwhile prana slips and says how rough Philly really is in one of his comments. He's most likely from the area or has visited here quite often. He even posted about some underground Philly hip-hop music, which further indicates he has ties here.

It's comical that he's from here and talked all that yang about it. Just hilarious, that's why he's so sheepish about it and refuses to say anything. He's probably just a dude who went to college in the area, but it's still funny.

So Dylann Roof perpetrated a terrorist attack, right?

Anyway, I hope I'm not being too off-topic on the last couple pages by posting about the president of the United States, let's check out some recent news!

On customs:

Australian author of children's books who's visited US over 100 times is detained for over two hours at LAX, doubts she'll ever return to US again

Trump doing wonders for America's tourism industry, as has already been documented here. I'm sure this (and Muhammad Ali Jr. before her) is just an isolated incident though, right?

French historian traveling to U.S. for conference is detained for 10 hours, nearly deported until his destination university intervenes

Not sure if staggering incompetency or if Trump's newly-empowered CBP is trying to make foreigners never want to come to the United States again!

Also on the subject of "killing the United States as a destination for intelligent people around the world": Victim of racist shooting in Kansas loved the USA and didn't want to leave, despite concerns about their safety among growing racism

Following that event, residents of the world's second most populous country are rethinking their plans to study in the US and become productive members of American society, like the victim was:

Seems like the United States' status as an international leader in technology is going to suffer if the best and brightest from around the world no longer want to come here because ignorant white racists are scared of them.

Father of SEAL killed in Yemen - a veteran himself - refused to meet Trump, wants an investigation into his son's death

Quoting the father:

Hey Trumpkins, since y'all put Benghazi Mom on the stage at the RNC, I'm sure you all agree this guy totally deserves the same investigations and scrutiny from Congress that she got, right?

It sounds like something you hear a lot in Alabama. "She/he's one of the good ones" (referring to a black person.) The idea is that you say you judge people individually, which then gives you cover to blanket judge millions of people in negative and horrifying ways until specifically proven wrong.

The racism of 2017 is a little more advanced and a little more sophisticated than the racism of 1964. It had to be, after all all those meany liberal artists like Normal friggin' Rockwell depicted the segregationist movement as evil and against progress, and rightly so. So the anti-civil rights movement has completely re-branded itself.

That's interesting, actually, I've never thought about it. I guess that's considered a hate crime? Definitely not "normal" violence. I can understand normal violence, like getting a gun and shooting someone, or even shooting multiple people in an altercation, but what Dylan roof did is unimaginable to me. It makes me sad to even think about it.

Anyway, what are you getting at, here? That killing multiple people isn't a terrorist attack?

The post was deleted. What made it funny was he made the comment in the reason: area after he edited a post. I forget his exact words but he mentioned thugs and Philly. When I saw it I burst out laughing, remember how he used to bash me for saying Philly was a rough city. Meanwhile, years later he says the same thing.

Again, it just goes to show how incredibly dishonest many people in this forum are, due to groupthink and peer pressure. You could literally pinpoint an area and is the most dangerous area in the entire country and they will downplay it due to peer pressure over racism.

Virtue signalling is real. It warps reality and is the reason why people are getting so many things wrong politically anymore. It's fine, you can refuse to believe it, I'm OK with that. I'm just surprised that after so much evidence against people are still this dismissive about it. Again, let's see what France does. It'll be highly interesting.

I see no clear prejudice and discrimination against Muslims on a small or wide scale. What I do see is cases of many Muslims and minorities creating fabrications about Trump supporters attacking them. Look at me! Look at me! Three white men snatched my hijab and attacked me!

It's literally so rare that these people have to fake it.

That's not why people bring up abortion bombings/attacks.

That spreading of fear-mongering which is going around is a form of discrimination. Do you really have what it takes to decide this stuff?

This post provides no evidence towards there being no prejudice and discrimination towards Muslims; it simply provides evidence that you have a warped view of reality and should not be taken seriously in discussions on the subject.

This is the most baghdad bob quote you'll ever see.

More than one a day documented by Huffpo alone last year. All sourced. But, that would take Wil doing 15 seconds of research before making another stupid, ignorant post.

In the last two weeks alone there was a mosque burned down and a dude arrested for plotting to blow one up.

No, wil really doesn't see it, that quote is probably honest and accurate. He doesn't want to, so he doesn't.

And this a few weeks ago:

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...icle-1.2959168

One point that can be taken from this is, why is it even a question? If Dylan Roof had an Arab-sounding name and brown skin, we all know it would be considered an act of terrorism 100%. Think about why you even had to think about it, and then think about why you're still using the term "hate crime" and not terrorism.

I'd argue the reverse, actually. I have a much, MUCH Bette sense of reality than many of you. That's why when it comes to guessing what will happen or in discussions that actually, you know, involve people I'm the one who usually winds up right.

Believe what you wish, though. The majority of this forum don't like when they are wrong and make excuses when they are wrong. It's human nature. If I were you, I'd dislike me too.

You don't think it's a little troubling that people are literally faking incidents of hate? What does that actually prove? That people WANT the narrative that white people are evil, that white people hate minorities. That simply isn't the case, so much so they have to fake the incidents!

Only a fool would have believed that incident with the burned church and "vote Trump!" Spray painted on the side was true. Come on man. Open your eyes. White people aren't running around in hoods and attacking non-whites at night. I'm tired of this narrative and it annoys me that I have to defend them.

Wasn't getting at anything; simply wanted to know where this fell on your previous breakdown of what constitutes a terrorist attack versus an isolated incident. Mentioning this on an online forum to right-wingers usually leads to them running as fast as possible from the topic because their world is one where only crazed Muslims with bombs are terrorists.

I am not troubled by frauds. They are as investigate-able as the real thing. Why do you keep telling me to open my eyes> I see fear mongering and bigotry at a highly accurate rate and with specifics.

You seem to have a stereotypical view of what's going on. If there were whites going around in the night doing terrifying and disturbing things towards other people, you might even miss it's happening because you are too busy telling the well-sighted to stop being blind.
