RACISM

If you were really the bigger man - you would take this opportunity to educate and enlighten. You would bring attention to causes, events and other things of that nature. You being the disgrace you are are doing none of that. "you keep replying because being a racist and/or bigot is frustrating and therefore I win" - 5 year old logic .... go debate in kindergarten on your level Debate us, expose us, educate us ..... we're asking for it ...be the bigger person and do it already

Wow this thread has been nothing but kichigai yelling at people and not debating at all. You always seemed confident and a little ignorant, but now you just seem like an asshole.

Sure thing, Solid Snake. This is from page 2 http://a.nime.me/0082/6675/screen_shot_2016-12-13_at_11.43.04_am.png

You can focus on blustery elements such as "say it to my face" or us not watching a video or us replying at all to substantiate racism and bigotry ... or.... You can legitimately expose us - as of right now you're a toy to us ... you're entertainment. I have correctly (privately with others) called your course(s) of action and reply before you've answered the way I said you would. I knew you would use this as an excuse to martyr yourself and try to make yourself the victim. You race baiting cowards needs the prized victim status. The events of this forum are totally different than me wanting to feel "black people hair" and just grabbing it just because. We're going on content of character. Martin Luther King, Jr. Quotes. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character" We're going on content of character as a great man MLKJ wanted and dreamed about. His dream is being realized RIGHT NOW - yeah I just used MLKJ against a black person :)

How do you know what his opinions are if you didn't read them? Apply his opinions to the definition of bigotry. Based off of that simply sustained dissent is bigotry alone - you sir are a moron. All you really did was define the word bigotry. What words of his or mine in full context are bigoted? Other than sustained replies which you haven't read - what makes us bigots (or racists). There is minimal substance there - try again.

Battleship might have shared stories of how he's stuck up for black people against an oppressive white for all you know.... I might have argued passionately for better treatment of black people for all you know.... If you don't know what our opinions are (especially by willful ignorance) don't you dare comment or attach any status to them you intellectual disgrace.

Apply the definition to our words and actions (simply consistent replying isn't enough to substantiate this) show our intolerance for YOUR VIEWS. Also pointing out shortcomings or fallacies also does not substantiate a bigotry claim (that is just the nature of debate and dissent) Websters: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance Dictionary.com : stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. Google: intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself. Vocabulary.com : unwillingness to recognize and respect differences in opinions or beliefs (I notice you would pick the one that mentions and is the most sensitive to race - how convenient. Just to point out bigotry doesn't REQUIRE a racial component) Prove that .... 1. We are so devoted to our opinions and prejudices that we will not tolerate dissent 2. We regard and treat members of a group (racial/ethnic) with hatred and intolerance (based off of their race or group) 3. Our words and actions substantiate the above conditions and our actions are driven solely by the above two conditions (or other substantive conditions) and NO OTHER FACTORS (such as personal conduct) (going to be pretty hard to do if you don't even know what we said) Also give us a fair and honest chance to have a rebuttal and clarify our beliefs and positions. Simply satisfying the three conditions will not be enough - they will have to stand up to the scrutiny of rebuttal. The burden of proof is on THE ACCUSER not the accused - be wary of this as well - even if you could do so based on a preponderance of the evidence standard.... let alone proof beyond a reasonable doubt standard. Until you can do that - shut the fuck up

I know how to be an asshole, bully, bigot and racist. I can recognize it because I've seen it, experienced it and dished it out myself. So it is quite easy to do things that you think is ok but to everyone else, or a small group of people, or even just 1 person, it may look extremely fucked up. I was extremely racist after 9/11. Being from NYC when I saw video of "muslims" partying their asses off in the Middle East, I said FUCK EM. Believed in the media and stood by when I saw people going around beating up muslims and people that LOOK like they're from the Middle East and didn't care. That is racist, to me. It took a friend of mine who studied and went to Saudi Arabia to tell and teach me not to. It took some time, but I learned first hand & continued to learn about the injustices against Middle Eastern's who are and are not muslim. It is not helpful, useful nor needed for you to contribute to the conversation if you're not willing to do the pre-requisite asked to be apart of the conversation. Just as you can be hard headed and not watch the video, I can be hard headed and not reply to anyone I THINK didn't watch the video but believes their input is what I want. And I will not falter. If Thing 1, 2 & 3 don't want me to call them thing 1, 2 & 3, simply watch the video. They wanna continue to be disruptive in my thread because they can? Cool. I can play that game much better than they can. I am being immature. No shit. I'm simply taking it to an extreme to show everyone how ridiculous this is. This is the ugliness of RACISM. when you think your idea is BETTER than the other person simply because it's coming from that person. It is. I have my reasons, which I just posted, which people are saying I'm doing the same thing the things are doing. DUH. That's the point. difference being, I'm acting immature because they refuse to watch a video I posted and still want ME to converse with THEM. I don't wanna converse with THEM. I wanna converse with those who watch the video and commented. Popo, Xueli, Heropun, Daggerfell, Solid Snake, Iryohei, Yaasshat and I can have a mature conversation about what we think should happen to people who are deemed racist whether or not it should it be treated like a disease or a badge of (dis)honor Thing 1 aka IT, Thing 2 & Thing 3 opted to not watch the video and talk shit. Gee, I wonder which group is having more progress.
