Science What is a racist?

[Chris Craig]

I see. Well it was a suggestion that covered the subject that he did not appear to know.
Is there another way?

Your saying a black man doesn't know about racism? Wow

 

[MarAzul]

The biggest trick the devil played was letting white people

Funny thing is, @SportsAndWhine was talking about actual Satan.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Your saying a black man doesn't know about racism? Wow

Marzy wasn't talking about racism. He was talking about the Quran.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

You know that's a partial reprise of a movie quote, right? I don't think he actually was suggesting Satan was involved.

 

[MarAzul]

What is there to edit?

Not yet.

 

[dviss1]

Actually I did care. The reason for the tread. Sports&Whine brought up the devil. Then you referenced the Torrah and wallah!

When asked if you see White men as the devil, you used many words, but the salient word was Yes.
The only place I am aware of that teaches this idea, is detailed in the reference I gave you.
It was not me that put out these clues, I did follow them. Other than this, I did not learn shit.
I do not think people are willing to speak straight and until they will, there will be progress like we observe here.
None.

You may not like what I say, but I do give you my take of what I know.

I said nothing like that. You sir twist words to mean what you want. It's funny this debate tactic is one of the most sophomoric ever. You use the gish gallop (make up bullshit) often.

I REFERENCED THE OLD FUCKING TESTAMENT....

 

[Chris Craig]

Marzy wasn't talking about racism. He was talking about the Quran.

Well I doubt Marzy knows much about the Quran.

 

[riverman]

and once again a good discussion slides into a pissing contest....

 

[PtldPlatypus]

You think that is an insult? What is there to edit?

I think it was more, "You're going to drive me to insults, and then the mods will have to edit my posts".

 

[MarAzul]

partial reprise of a movie quote, right?

No, I did not.

 

[riverman]

Well I doubt Marzy knows much about the Quran.

You'd be wrong...marz has an interest in theology..he's often referenced it

 

[MarAzul]

Your saying a black man doesn't know about racism? Wow

Wow! You best take the break.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

No, I did not.

Ah, I see. In a famous line from "The Usual Suspects", Kevin Spacey says, "The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't exist." Sportsandwhine basically just used the first half of that line to lead in to a commentary on white America's misperception of the breadth of racism. "The devil" was ancillary to the greater point.

@MarAzul is suggesting that the devil comment meant "white devil".

To this I say: play the race card much?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

and once again a good discussion slides into a pissing contest....

I'm doing my best to clear up misperceptions, but there's so much built up animosity between certain posters, it's hard for any discussion to remain civil for long.

 

[MarAzul]

Marzy wasn't talking about racism. He was talking about the Quran.

You'd be wrong...marz has an interest in theology..he's often referenced it

Actually the referrence was not to the Quran. It was to the writings of American Muslims. The Tribe of Shabazz it is called.
Yes I would say it is theology, teaching that the white man is the devil.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Yeah..I am just catching up on this romper room run amok..

I was thinking the same thing that you posted..

There are a lot of sharp cats in here, and a great way to learn about stuff when all the kiddies are playing nice

 

[PtldPlatypus]

My apologies.

 

[MarAzul]

No!!!
But I shan't tell you to read the reference again.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Good call!

Nah

I have the sense that you had this idea about white devil men when you created this thread and were waiting to pull it out.

 

[dviss1]

Marzy wasn't talking about racism. He was talking about the Quran.

Why? I quoted the old testament.

 

[Chris Craig]

Seems Marzy has his own ideas of white men and devils

 

[Chris Craig]

Why? I quoted the old testament.

Well your Black. You must surely be Muslim

 

[dviss1]

My apologies.

He had no reason to reference them so why did he?

Because I'm black.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Why? I quoted the old testament.

My guess would be going back to the "devil" thing, saying that the idea of white people being the devil (metaphorically) to minorities had roots in the source he was referencing.

All this is argument is based on misunderstandings of the other person's posts...on both sides.

 

[MarAzul]

Jim Crow

Ha! My turn again!!!



See what we have in the Columbia River. Jim Crow! Pt., Sands, Creek.
Yes these were named after a black man but as I understand it, the name wasn't a bad thing then.
Now the liberals busting a gut to clean out the name in Washington, but they can't get it off the chart.
The sand are in Oregon and nobody wants to spend money on frivolity.

 

[dviss1]

Three was absolutely no reason to ask me if I'm Muslim or Jewish when he FUCKING knows I was raised Baptist Christian and that I'm now agnostic.

And @riverman if you thought this thread was made to garner new info to actually listen to and care about, you're sadly mistaken.
