Crying "racist" has jumped the shark.

[Dayman1984]

Guys, just because SJWs (who I admit can be extremely annoying) cry racism too much doesn't mean racism doesn't exist anymore.

Yeah, so your formulation doesn't work. Also, we're talking about more than an adjective in there to really make the point. In a time and place where blacks are discriminated against, would "all blacks are discriminated against" be a racist statement? Of course not. Doesn't work. And on substance, of course there's nothing racist about noticing that whites are privileged in America.

It was your formulation, not mine.

As far as "all black people" are one way, and "all white people" are another way- the burden of proof is on you to prove, and frankly, it's quite ridiculous a claim.

??? This is the formulation I'm referring to:

"All (insert group name) are (insert adjective) is racist, no matter how you much you want to justify it."

That's yours.

It's not how they are; it's how they are treated in a specific time and place. Whites are relatively privileged. I don't really see how you can deny that.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people."

That's neither false nor racist. Saying that the same system that makes it easy for decent people to just come across makes it equally easy for scumbags to come across, which is true, is not insulting to Mexico or Hispanics. Every country has their share of creeps and the point is that legal immigration means you don't have to take the bad with the good.

Straw man up in this bitch.

 

[Seano]

Many progressives here have called me racist simply for calling Mike brown a piece of shit...I've also been called racist for disagreeing with #blm and their platform...

So yeah. ...I take the label with a grain of salt.

I've been called a bigot by dozens of posters on this site for various things and only one or two of them were right.

They are privileged because they are white? You are attributing causation based on skin colour?

Not all white people are relatively privileged, and not all black people are relatively underprivileged. I don't see how anyone can deny that.

??? I'm asserting the obvious fact that whites are privileged in America, just as right-handed people are.

Is it that you don't know the meaning of the words you're discussing? Trying to figure out your angle here...

Great the jack bot is running his everybody is racist program

Kind of racist of jack to say that white people are more successful and that this equates to privilege

The differences between dexterity are practical. To imply that black people are like left handed people is offensive in that you are suggesting a physiological difference. Otherwise, your argument is a tautology.

You're going to accuse me of being ignorant? We can stop right here.

 

[Bacco]

Progressives have finally gone too far and took the teeth out of the word "racist", to the extent that nobody really cares anymore. That used to be a serious accusation, but now nobody other than progressives take it seriously

Actually west (or at least Europe) current problem is exactly the opposite, full retard accuse of racism is enough to scare politicians from doing anything

 

[n...not crazy]

Guys, just because SJWs (who I admit can be extremely annoying) cry racism too much doesn't mean racism doesn't exist anymore.

See other posts "they've taken the teeth out of the word racism" etc. That's the problem they've created. They want us to believe that mean looks (which may or may not have been caused by an eye itch) are racism. They want me to believe that my kids are racist without even knowing it, because they hang out with white people all day. The word has been hijacked entirely, it's almost a joke now. Every time I hear it my eyes roll, because I 90% know what's coming. Some unsubstantiated whiny bullshit with a hashtag.

They stole the word and have cried wolf a million times. At this point we need a new word for the real thing. You can't use the same word for lynchings as you do for delusional BS.

Yikes. Not too sharp, are you? I'm talking about the way everything is designed primarily for right-handed people (obvious examples are notebooks and scissors). Left-handed people are not inferior in dexterity.

You're going to accuse me of being ignorant? We can stop right here.

Ignorance is not an "accusation." Your comments in this thread suggest that you simply don't understand what privilege even is. That explains some of the disconnect. And if it offends you so much that someone who disagrees with you thinks that you're wrong, maybe this place is too tough for you.

 

[Starman]

When leftists cry racism, it's invariably because they have been confronted with facts they can't dispute.

Leftists are the scourge of the earth, and are responsible for all the ills plaguing modern society. They call people that disagree with anthropological global warming "science deniers", but will argue all day long that a dude born with a dick is a woman if he feels like he is.

I would tell all you leftists to eat a fucking dick, but I'm guessing you already have, and loved every minute of it.

 

[SMEAC]

Clearly jackbot is the only person that knows what privilege is

So please tell us what it is jackbot

Privelaged how? Indians, Jews, Chinese, Taiwanese, and several other minorities in the U.S. ALL have a higher median income than Whites.

The biggest problem with Black America is your culture. Too many times Black Culture in America glorifies violence, drug abuse, mysoginy, out-of-wedlock childbirth, deadbeat fathers, etc...

Black America is a trainwreck of a culture, and it's nobody's fault but your own. White America liberated blacks in the civil war. Now it's time to liberate yourselves. Stop bitching about racism and white privelage and all this other gay shit, and just MAN THE FUCK UP.

I guess it feels good for racists to talk to other racists about how it feels good to not give a fuck about being called a racist!

Here is what he said:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Ok, so he assumes some are good people so all good! It's possible he isn't racist and is just trying to get racist vote (a major voting block for Republicans) but give me a break guys.

You are so full of shit, racist a major voting block.

Gee I guess blacks, latinos and other whites cant be racist, you ignorant fuck. You know, the make up of the democratic party.

They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, I assume, are good people."

If some are good then they can't all be rapist.

If some people are good, then some are bad. Why is that difficult for you to understand.

And they are ALL CRIMINALS, THEY ARE CRIMINALS BY CROSSING THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.

So yes every illegal immigrant is a criminal.

The irony in your statements is classic. You're insulting me because I disagree with you while at the same time saying that I'm offended because you disagree.

This is a pattern with you: You get into a discussion, and you can only go a post or two before you devolve into childish insults and strawmen. Try a little more logos and a little less pathos.

 

[Greoric]

I'm surprised you even deny it. Just be like the TS or any number of other posters here. Shit, TCK admits to being a creationist. Lots of people admit to being Austrians.

Even worse. There are posters in here that admit to still being Keynesians despite it being thrown in the trash bin of economic theories back in the 70s.
