7 Habits of Highly Affected Racialists

[Davka]

The humor here is that there is NO ONE SAYING THAT (certainly not on Athena's thread) and yet you are calling them hypocrites for something they are not doing. That is a strawman personified. It's number 6 personified.
It's fucking hilarious.

Dismal knows that. So does Max. They just don't have the courage to own up to who they really are, so they're playing silly semantic games. They don't want to actually converse, they just want to win. And they want all those pesky people who remind them of reality to go away and leave them alone.

Not gonna happen.

 

[Davka]

Exactly. By your own rules you can't call me racist without calling yourself racist.

By the definition in the OP, you cannot be a racist. But even if I were to call you one, that wouldn't make me a racist. It would just make me inconsistent.

If races of people don't exist there would be even less validity to making sweeping over-generalized statements about them.

And this forum would need to find a new topic.

Why Whites can be a member of any group that is lighter than, or different from, another group.

Some here need another rule Davka. Try something about ones who are such racialists that they are blinded to any notion other than race.

If my great great grandfather had sex with a black woman does that mean I"m not a racist because of the one drop rule?

My neighbors are racist against black people by the dictionary definition of the word. The have a 16 yro daughter follows in their footsteps. The daughter has perfect grades and an impressive list of extracurriculars. She is planning on attending an elite university.

I was having diner with her parents and the topic of admissions for the top schools came up. The 16 year old said, "I have an advantage, because I'm a minority and it will also help getting scholarships." I was, "WTF kid of minority are you? She said, "my mother was born in Brazil and I'm Hispanic." Keep in mind this girl has a Mercedes for her first car.

Event though my neighbors are racist I don't shun them; rather, when the topic come up I just say, "people are people". Or if they have some elaborate internal logic justifying their racism I gently explain their inconsistencies

Unless the black woman in question is your great great grandmother you would not have the one drop in question.
But the "one drop rule" is one of the more ridiculous and insidious things about race relations in America.

"my mother was born in Brazil and I'm Hispanic."

How does that work?

 

[NobleSavage]

She might have said Portuguese (or Brazilian)? Whatever it was she thought she was entitled to a benefit.

Maybe I should look into my genealogy. I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

Speaking of making things up, how about that example of an actual Highly Affected Racialist actually using the Not All White People argument...

I hate to think Davka just made that habit up, but since no one can produce a single example of it it seems to be the case.

Speaking of creating strawmen, there goes dismal again, pretending that "not all X" means whatever he wants it to mean, so he can shoot it down.

You are a truly pathetic little man, dismal. But then, I'm sure you know that. It's why you chose your nick, right?

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

Davka, you forgot to rely to this part.

By the way, you accuse me of regularly engaging in race bigotry on this board. I assume you can come up with example of that? I suspect you are going to support that point as well as you support all other points: by declaration from on high, by refusing to "play a game", and by declaring it already proven.

I'm sorry, little children, but I'm not going to spend hours sifting through old posts in order to demonstrate what everyone here already knows.

Kind of like presuppositionalist apologists claim that we already "know" that we really believe in god?

And how do any of us "own up" to a mystery phantom residing mostly in your own mind? I have not bothered to reflect much upon your name calling, personal challenges, and 'for the choir' rants, mainly because much of it is so imprecise as to be gibberish. I (we) see the emoting of your lackadaisical language and worn tropes, what I (we) don't see are clear formulations of thoughts or the slightest nod to an empirical reality.

If asking for precision and examples of your racial semi-theory yarns is your idea of "a silly semantic game", then "actually conversing" cannot be your goal. After all a demand that we "own up to who we really are" sounds about as "conversational" as a "confess your racist sins" tent evangelist.

And it also reminds me of the fundi's who create biblical "theory" about the "end times", "demonstrating" what everyone knows are are the end of the world signs in the news.

 

[Jason Harvestdancer]

He's declaring it already proven, just as I predicted.

He knows he was wrong when he wrote that I regularly engage in bigotry on this board. He knows he can't substantiate it. So he declares it already well known.

Sorry Davka, it is far more honest to admit you were mistaken.

As the esteemed philosopher Rocky Balboa said, "After awhile, you get a reputation and that's it. You get no respect."

Are you claiming you don't have this reputation, or that you don't deserve this reputation?

 

[Davka]

mouseover: "If it's not about you, you ain't got nothing to worry about."

Actually, what everyone (including you) already knows is you are unable to defend your post by producing actual examples because your post is a stinking pantload of crap.

The gentleman fails to produce examples again.
