The race card is what happens when there are false accusations of racism. As the thread in question was pulled, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Just as not every claim of racism ring true, neither does it mean that there are no cases of it happening here. To say either would be false.

Could they have merely been leftist moles or buried stormfronters? Of course, but then that should be brought out into the open; not for the media or leftists’ sake, but ours.

An accusation of racism is "you're a racist because you think/believe such and so" or that you behave in a certain manner.

Logically you could be a racist and not think/believe any such thing, or do racist acts. At the same time, the thought/belief in question may not have anything to do with racism, but instead could well be one of those things not understood by the observer making the charge. A racist act could be made out of ignorance, or simply a lack of comprehension on the part of the observer.

Ergo, a false charge of racism would be what (logically speaking)? It's not all that simple.

You need to establish a couple of things to work this out ~ what is race, and who is thinking/believing what about whom, and when. With respect to the thread in question the claim was that it contained "racist statements" and it was allowed to be posted for 5 hours or thereabouts.

The discussion here has proceeded on the basis that the thread contained racist material ~ but what if it didn't? All we have at present are the claims of Leftwingtards and we all know none of them are reliable witnesses to fact or judges of law and standards. (In fact I'm of the distinct impression that the Holy Quran and the Sharia establish clearly that the word of a ka'fir is worth half that of a woman, and if anyone is a ka'fir, your typical Leftwingtard is that. Hence, if we were Moslems none of us could be debating any of this.)

The other claim is that the thread was left in place for at least 5 hours. A subset of that claim is the accusation no one complained to the Administrators.

I was just looking over some other threads this morning and noticed that they were left in place, untouched, for about 8 hours (from 11 PM to 7 AM). In fact, the overwhelming majority of threads were treated that way ~ nothing happened for extended periods of time. A 5 hour wait for a change in a thread is hardly remarkable!

As far as complaints being made, the Administrators deleted the thread didn't they ~ so someone complained, or, maybe the Administrator(s) read the thread.

BTW, getting back to question of "throwing the race card" I think you must also have a precise definition of race ~ right down to the haplogroups. Absent that, it's just too unfocused to be dealt with rationally.

So terribly many of the media these days are potential Stormfront recruits I just don’t know what to say. We really can’t counsel everything we say and do here on what a bunch of Nazi wannabees dictate.
