You supporting black conservatives isn't what makes you a racist, no. It's the rest of the package that does.

It's rather en vogue here. I wouldn't bother.

I think one of the problems is that people think there is only 1 way to be racist, and if you're not exactly that, then there's no way that you are racist.

Also, if you have multiple people point out multiple times that the links you provide to back your story/beliefs are questionable, your "heroes" are questionable (at best) and have have multiple people accuse you of being racist (or at least tacitly accepting and perpetuating racist beliefs/stereotypes), well, then if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's highly unlikely that it's secretly a triceratops.

I agree with you but I made the colossal mistake of writing the word “boys” and now I’m racist so sometimes people are Fucking wrong

This is probably the most difficult of all the rules to abide by and yet it's probably the most important rule.
Keep it civil and the discussion will be more free flowing.

There is something to be said about men enabling the degradation of women by attending strip clubs.

To be fair, as an Uber driver, I often transport and converse with exotic dancers, and many love their jobs, find them to be empowering rather than degrading, and even find their work to be therapeutic at times.

That said, I've personally never entered a strip club, and likely never will.

That doesn't say much, some Black people are far Right Republicans.
 
Oh the irony. While ABM tries to get us to watch a video called Uncle Tom about an untalented Black reactionary, state bans on critical race theory, which isn't being taught, actually ban any reaching on racism that might make white people uncomfortable. Including the original Uncle Tom's Cabin.

The practice of dismissing any information that conflicts with one's own preconceptions is the reason this thread even exists.

Just because one is called a racist, doesn't necessarily mean they are one.

As some might be inclined to remark, know your audience. Shoot, I might actually be a rockstar in any other given chat forum - even one mostly populated with (conservative) Black folks. That said, I've determined my conversations/debates with y'all fall along political/spiritual lines. It's just that simple. Doesn't mean I don't want to be here, though. I have no problem stating my views and am entitled to that. Plus, there are plenty of other topics to discuss in here, as well.

White supremacists aren't just the ones who flag up and shoot at people in broad daylight in our city.

White supremacy is "If he would have only just complied"

White supremacy is calling the police on an 8 year old black girl selling water because she "doesn't have a permit".

White supremacy is standardized testing in schools.

White supremacy is bringing up statistics about how many people are killed by police.

White supremacy is "I'm not racist".

I'm sorry but that's not enough. If you aren't actively anti-racist, you are part of the problem. We don't need to to be extra nice to your 3 black friends.
We need you to talk to the 50 ignorant white ones. We need you to tear down these systems that oppress us.

I don't know if you're racist or not but your reading comprehension needs work. I never once even insinuated you were racist.
I simply gave you a tool that you simply cannot bring yourself to understand why you need to employ it. Instead you internalized what was said to you.
That's typical of white males in this country. They've had domain over so much for so long that they can't even wrap
their minds around their colonizer speak. Decolonize your mind.
You probably wonder why you can't use the a version of the N word because "they say it all the time in their songs"...

Alan West was part of the Uncle Tom documentary. I appreciated his viewpoints and commentary. There are plenty of Black Conservatives out there - including those voted into office.

Black republicans are welcome in the party if they only embrace partisan talking points and make no reference to racial or black identity.....if they follow the party line they have broad political opportunities within the party but are essentially muzzled to maintain their positions of power within the party ..you can climb the stairs of political power if you are a republican racial minority who follows the stupid old white men's watering down of racial profiling..

White supremacy is liking the movie Splash!

White supremacy is wearing Court Classic shoes from Costco!

White supremacy is putting vanilla creamer in your coffee!

White supremacy is preferring red vines over black licorice!

White supremacy is only shopping at Trader Joes!
 
During his military service Alan West was charged with beating and mock execution of Iraqi police officer. He charged without evidence that 81 Congressional Democrats are communists. He called Obama supporters a threat to the gene pool, called Obama a low life, and compared himself to Harriet Tubman.
When South Carolina finally lowered the Confederate traitor flag after the church massacre West opposed it and called it a distraction. He suggested that Defense Secretary Mattis had been appointed to exterminate Muslims and said being Muslim is antithetical to being American.

ABM, I could ask you what you admire but I know you won't answer, just like you can't tell us why you admire Owens and Elder. I guess there are so few Black reactionaries you have to take these bottom feeders for lack of anyone else.

Here's the thing, if you say something like being a 'rock star' in a mostly black conservative "chat forum" that's part of the problem. Normal people don't talk like that. And considering the way you present yourself here, I sincerely doubt you belong to a "mostly black" chat forum in the first place.

That screams "I have a Canadian girlfriend!"

actually the thread exists because i was curious as to the opinions of peop.....oooooh I see what you did there.
 
I had a 5 minute YouTube ad pop up last night and it was just Candace Owens explaining how slavery didn't start at the birth of America. I made it about a minute through before I skipped it. Not really sure what the intent of that is, but I'm assuming it's something to do with CRT.

I'm not sure what you're saying but I wouldn't base my faith in something on anecdotal evidence. Give me some strong statistical evidence and I'll listen.

She's not a scholar so I wouldn't waste my time trying to understand her wandering thought pattern.
 
Elder on female voters: “Women know less than men about political issues, economics and current events,” he wrote. “Good news for Democrats, bad news for Republicans. For the less one knows, the easier the manipulation.”

He also did a standup comedy routine where he repeatedly used the n word.

Does ABM vet the people he admires at all, or is it enough they love Trump, hate gays, and support forced pregnancy?

No. Actually it's not. And you don't know the definition of racism. Stop using the racists definition. It's completely wrong.

Fine. We can have this argument again. You continue to make generalized and bigoted statements about white people. And if I did the same thing you would scream bloody murder. You freaked the fuck out about the use of the word "boy." The fact that you can't see how this is wrong is, again your favorite phrase, cognitive dissonance.

You guys are using different definitions of racism. You by the book and dviss by the vernacular.
