If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

When I read this entire thread, I do not see anybody that is racist. I do see that some are offended and angry that others are not exhibiting enough rage against the problem. This anger has resulted in name calling in this thread. That is offensive to me.
There is really nothing I can do about it except call it out.

I'm curious what the point of your analogy is.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Source? I'd assume it's an epidemic happening regularly if my beating would be highly probable.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Just making sure we are being consistent here.....It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

It certainly wasnt in the paper until just a week or so ago. Yet Gregg, who has indicated that he is aware of situations where a white guy married to a black woman gets beat up in the black neighborhood, has to provide you with stats and newspaper citings?

Originally posted by DMT View PostSorry, but I disagree. Systemic racism is the fundamental problem, individual racists are symptoms of that problem.
But that was not the topic. It does not preclude a minority from being a racist. If over the next 50 years the race dynamics flip and caucasians become the minority race in the US, and there are systems put in place that severely disadvantage white people, Richard Spencer is still a racist moron. It's an attribute of him and of his actions regardless of everything else going on around him. Even if you were to throw out all the history of racism, he's still a racist. I'm not sure how that's even up for discussion. It's his prejudiced views and actions that make him a racist, not the system he lives in.
We can be intelligent individuals and realize that the system is the core problem to fix - the problem that created the racists, and we can still be smart enough to condemn the actions of the individual racist without the context. It's okay to hate both types.
