I'm not the least bit interested in having a conversation on racism, of any kind, with anyone.

So sorry.

[lordpumblechook]

I have pringles but no chips, noob.

[BenLurkin]

Black people cannot be racist

The author needs to understand that if he insists on that nonsense -- then that's the END of the conversation.

So, what was your previous screen name?

I have 22k+ posts here and going on 9 years, you?

“Of course, for pointing this out I might get banned from this “conservative” site, just as the God-like Doctor 2 Brains was for pointing out that blacks, er, I mean African-americans, do not do trig as well as whites do.”

Huh ????

I love the writer’s premise - ‘ before we have this discussion you first need to acknowledge that there is no other point of view than mine.’

[Lurker]

Melanie,

STFU.

Thanks,

I’m just happy with my White Priviledge.

But will you take up the White Man's Burden?

Take up the White Man's burden,
And reap his old reward--
The blame of those ye better
The hate of those ye guard--

> Black people cannot be racist.

That kind of language is a trigger /s

[Lizavetta]

The dictionary definition is that a racist is a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

Believes. Did everyone see the word believe?

Whether you have the means to impose that belief with actions is irrelevant. Racism is a mindset.

Nice try attempting to alter the English language, cupcake.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Nine pages of unmitigated poppycock.

[lordpumblechook]

It is dangerous to say that whites do better at trig than blacks, er, I mean majestic African-americans.

[Billthedrill]

This racist author is part of the problem, not part of the solution, and a demand to accept all her terms before the conversation can even begin is the mark of a con artist.

[BenLurkin]

ANYONE who uses those terms, in any reference, are Communists or fellow travelers!

Nonsense.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

“Shut up”, she explained.

[ctdonath2]

9 pages? Wouldn’t know, as paragraph 3 opening with “Black people cannot be racist” makes clear he’s using grossly incompatible definitions, axioms, and deck.

[Las Vegas Ron]

...and obviously no intelligence.

See ya troll, enjoy the lightning.

Yep. You must accept these "truths", that are true by no object measure other than Malcom X said so.

Their "truths" are pure dogma, and their "honest conversation" is going to be an indoctrination.

Eff that.
