Moonbox Posted December 15, 2022 Report Posted December 15, 2022 Yes, I'm soo desperate about it. ? Let us count how many threads I've started about race on this forum in my 14 year history posting here, and then compare it to how many you've started in the last two weeks. That should give us a good indication of whose more invested in the topic! 1 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he is for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

From (tongue-in-cheek) white supremacy, all of the "institutions" apparently "indoctrinating" white people to think they're racist, to even now where you're bringing up critical race theory - these are all topics centering around race.

herbie Posted December 15, 2022 Report Posted December 15, 2022 Oh FFS you started a thread titled with white supremacy and then claim it's not about race. Forget your meds today or what? 2 Quote

Forget your meds today or what? I'm sorry. I keep overestimating the intelligence of the left and that seems to confuse the issue. No, this topic is not about race. There is a subtle but easily discernable difference between talking about race and talking about the religion of the progressive left. What this topic is about is the behaviour of institutions guided by this new religion and its various books of revelations. Canada doesn't have a problem with race. It has a problem with progressives. Edited December 16, 2022 by I am Groot 1 Quote "A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G. K.

You can't whine about a so-called religion that, as you would describe it, is obsessed with issues of racism, and then proceed to tell us the discussion has nothing to do with race. That's ridiculous. The distinction you're drawing is nonsensical and the degree of separation you're attempting to conjure is fantasy. 2 hours ago, I am Groot said: I'm sorry. I keep overestimating the intelligence of the left and that seems to confuse the issue. The only thing you're overestimating is your ability to dissemble. The fact that you can't speak on these issues without lapsing into hyperbole and dumb rhetoric is evidence of your own intelligence level (or maybe just your emotional maturity?), rather than that of the vague "Left" or "Progressives" you like to rant about.

It is the liberals that are the racists and white supremacists? Check the names of racist and white supremacist groups background. I think you will find very few liberal backgrounders. Your links prove nothing other than disclaimers from groups and organizations companies etc. Well...there's Joe Biden and there was Lyndon Johnson...I hear the Clintons are pretty "white meat". And if all the educational institutions have been racist all these years...who made them that way? Certainly wasn't a bunch of blue-collar guys wavin' "Don't Tread On Me" flags...

That's ridiculous. The distinction you're drawing is nonsensical and the degree of separation you're attempting to conjure is fantasy. No. The separation is patently obvious. If we talk about race it would be another conversation. We're talking about your religious beliefs that say everyone is nothing but an extension of their racial, ethnic, or other identity group, and that any offense given or taken by any such member is blaspheme and must be punished. Example: An elderly woman who is a bit dotty questions some Black British woman who dresses as if she's from Africa and is named as an African and unintentionally insults her by asking repeatedly where in Africa she's from. The progressive world is aghast with horror. The incident becomes international news! The elderly woman is abruptly cancelled. And then trotted out after a couple of weeks to issue a groveling apology. Now in talking about that I'm not talking about race. I'm talking about how progressives wildly overreact, like humourless, unforgiving religious zealots, refusing to take it as just some old lady being confused but insist on elevating it to the religious crime of heresy racism, and punishing the sinner. Then demand she recant her heresy. I doubt you understand, being a devotee, but that's just how I see it.
