Politics Trump pardons Sheriff Joe Arpaio

[bodyman5000 and 1]

Because what?

Sorry, edited it. Forgot it quoted the whole thing.

No, not everything is racist. What a weird thing to say.

This doesn't have anything to do with you liking him or not liking him.

If a white girl reports a rape and an hispanic girl reports a rape and you'll only investigate the rape against the white girl that is racist.

It is his right to decide which crimes to have his force concentrate on.

Like in Oregon when we voted to legalize marijuana, there was a couple of months before the law took effect, the police and DA came out and said we're no longer going to arrest people for being in possession of pot. It was still against the law but they were no longer going to enforce that. Not racist.

Now if the police and DA said we're no longer going to arrest white people for being in possession of pot then that would be racist.

Arpaio didn't decide not to investigate sex crimes against ALL women. He decided not to investigate sex crimes against one ethnicity.

You got a like from Minstrel, a sign your logic is silly.

Arpaio was held in contempt of court for racial profiling in traffic stops and the like. That was what he was pardoned for.

The whole thing stunk of Obama going after his political opponents on his way out.

Stung that you didn't get my like, Denny? No need to be Johnny Lash-Out, just argue your points well. Or, at least, don't try to argue silly things like "discrimination on the basis of race is RACIAL but not RACIST."

Hell no. A like from you is not a plus.

Racist implies one race is superior. Racial implies simply because of ethnicity.

Move along or I'll school you again, for the countless time.

 

[Minstrel]

Your trash talk is as punchless as your points, which don't stand up to even the mildest scrutiny. Racial intolerance is also a form of racism, and discrimination based on race is pretty clear racial intolerance.

 

[Denny Crane]

Schooled again.

Really? I didn't know that about Minstrel.

@Minstrel, please go and like all of Denny's posts, apparently that will make all of them "silly".

Yes, Arpaio was only pardoned for the crime he was convicted of. He was not pardoned for being a racist. I think only Jesus could do something like that.

I was responding to your racial not racist comment.

Minstrel just got schooled over it. You are two of a kind.

 

[Denny Crane]

Just like "the oceans are dead."

Assertion, absolutely false.

Please make note of #3 on your way out.

 

[Denny Crane]

Because people misuses the term, some dictionaries have added that.

#3 is still due to 1 or 2.

 

[Minstrel]

Here's Merriam-Webster:

Again, #3 will help you learn.

 

[Denny Crane]

Oxford dictionary.



You really should stop before you further embarrass yourself.

Racial is saying that african americans have a higher rate of diabetes.

Racism is not not treating african americans for diabetes while treating everyone else.

Not investigating certain crimes against certain races and ethnicities while continuing to investigate them for everyone else is racist.

So transparent. "I don't like the definition, so it doesn't count." Your troll tactics are also several decades out of date, just like your racial jokes.

[Denny Crane]

You insist on further embarrassing yourself.

I'm happy to assist you in that, as usual.

 

[Denny Crane]

The problem of using the word as you misuse it is that it cheapens what it really is.

You don't know if it's racist or not. The sheriff has never said hispanics are inferior to whites.

You obviously will believe the oceans are dead, no matter the evidence to the contrary. And you'll use awful logic to try and defend your position.

More likely, you're just trolling.

Since you may confuse others with your trolling, I'll just note that the reason racism includes "racial intolerance" without needing to say "due to a belief in racial superiority" is because A. that's where prejudice and intolerance come from--no one is intolerant towards other races because they believe in racial equality and B. we judge actions, not thoughts, because thoughts are unknowable on an individual level.

You know and believe all this, but you pretend not to in order to muddy discussions.

Your logic is unknowable at any level.

You are back peddling and agreeing with me, because I'm right.

Good for you.

You don't know if it's racist or not. The sheriff has never said hispanics are inferior to whites.

So you could ban every non white person in this forum and as long as you don't say that you did it because they are inferior to whites it's not racist?

You could walk down the street and only spit on black people as long as you don't say they are inferior to you it's not racist?

You obviously will believe the oceans are dead, no matter the evidence to the contrary. And you'll use awful logic to try and defend your position.

If you would like to discuss this in a different thread I would be more than happy to.

More likely, you're just trolling.

Not trolling. I've been trying to discuss with you how your claims about Arpaio decisions as sheriff are racial but not racist.

How far back in this thread do I need to go to see why you posted this strange thought?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Not far at all.

 

[Minstrel]

That strange thought is simply Denny's logic.

Of course, now he'll complain that you insulted him.

 

[MarAzul]

3 presidents on my list were important in the Civil War happening at all....Buchanan failed to stop the war from being inevitable...secession was in the works before Abe was voted into office

That strange thought is simply Denny's logic.

Of course, now he'll complain that you insulted him.

Oh it is not a sign of weakness, to apologizes for an insult not intended.

So, following B...... Every cop that has ever been more careful pulling over a black guy in a 64 on hydraulics is a racist no matter what they say?

The action is racist, if they wouldn't be equally careful pulling over a white guy in a 64 on hydraulics. It doesn't require knowing whether the cop believes whites are superior to blacks to label it so.

Ahh, the action is racist.

So a cop who believes in racial equality can't believe that a stereotypical gang banger exists and he or she needs to be more careful around someone who fits that description?

A black cop who is more afraid of the black dude in a 64 is ...

Racist?
Tricked by the media?
Dumb?


If he is more afraid but doesn't do anything differently than if he pulls over my grandmother in her Taurus does that make people happy?

Is that where we are now. Everyone is the same no matter what outward signals we project?
