If you think racism is prevalent in society, you should care about people reporting incorrect demographics (especially white people), as if enough people report it, all of a sudden you have tons more black people, which hides disproportions and racism. This is why you should simply say you dont care about the Warren demographic answer issue, becasue you get dragged into stuff you don't want to be dragged into. Just say she did something silly and ignore the rest, like Bernie did with the emails.



I made a statement about not caring, and referred to the issue in an unappealing way. MrWookie, and Slighted challenged me on that, in a way I thought required irony, sarcasm and absurdity to show they did not take what I said in the intended context.
Ahhh gotcha, now I understand. You totes don't care about this topic...you just care that I care about a topic you don't care about.

You are one of the biggest reasons this forum has become unreadable.

You guys are talking past each other. It's not that Warren's follies aren't completely irrelevant. They are just not important in the context of the evils of affirmative action.

I've told you three times why I responded in this thread, you keep imagining other reasons. Go fist bump Teflon, sure he buys your bullshit. Intelligent people do not. It's not that this place was an echo chamber, some of you want an echo chamber where you arguing against figments of your imagination, while not having people pointing out the absurdity of your machinations.

I think you need to read the article again. Or possibly even go back and try understanding this issue again from the beginning of wherever your entry point was, because you're about as wrong as possible here.

It doesn't matter if the organization she lied to actually gave preferential treatment to native american's or not. If the police set up a sting to sell fake or non-existent drugs to a drug dealer and he attempts to buy the fake or non-existent drugs he is still charged with buy drugs.
Yeah, that's not how that actually works either. You're batting 0-2.

Your 3rd point of course makes little to no sense and you know that.
Well sure it does, because in the right wing derposphere the ending point is that all of these lefty liberals are in on these scams together. So not only is it important for Warren to have been trying to get some of that sweet Affirmative Action for herself, but also that the places she worked wanted some of it too.

Because let's not lose sight of the underlying point the mikey wing of the alt-right is making here, which is namely that all those libs at Harvard or wherever secretly hate blacks and Mexicans too. So Harvard gets to hire a white chick, because obviously they don't want no blacks or Mexicans in their faculty if they can help it, but at the same time they get to claim that sweet diversity stuff by showing that she wasn't white all along, but rather a gen-u-ine Native Indian type. Then they point at the righties and laugh all the way to the bank while cashing in all that sweet grant money, which they no doubt use to fund BS studies showing that food stamps and welfare work great. It's like the perfect liberal crime.

In case anyone was wondering what irony looks like, here's some.

Only to those who have not read my posts. I mentioned three times (maybe more) what I was disputing, and not once has anyone engaged on that point, and instead deflect to other stuff, mostly imaginary. Keep fist bumping though, I mean, we would not want to call you tribal. The lack of self-awareness of your group is amazing. I had to tell Dude five freaking times I did not care about Warren, or this issue, but he kept asking me to prove how damaging her answers to demographic questions were. How many ****ing times does he need to be told? All I did was say I did not think the concerns were disingenuous, although not really warranted. Now it's a full on assault by the tribe thinking I'm the problem. Get a ****ing grip on reality. You guys deflect, deflect, then blame the poster you attempt deflect.

I kinda agree, but some of the threads at least start out interesting until they are derailed by something silly.

Having said that, the Old Forum was totally unreadable, and I stopped even lurking for about a year.

WN doing a good job, imo.

Hey WN, sorry I posted that I thought you were doing a good job as moderator. That will fuel the fire of the Perpetually Indignant, who probably suspect that you were a Newt Gingrich delegate at the 2012 RNC.
