I agree.

You are misusing the word race. It is not race but culture although race does play a part. Racist is a card that is over played everywhere, here its one of the few cards in bucks slim deck and I've seen an affinity with buck and tyedstick. If that had been ben or rob ect. it would be in bucks sig. You said "You keep calling" that may very well be a royal "You" I don't know, if you had used "we" I wouldn't have posted back. Now if you read what I said you may note that I "didn't" call him a racist! I only posted as if he had admitted to such. I assume you used my post as a way fight the conflation of racist and bigot and while you are right about THAT, and what I say may be confusing BUT "I am not confused".
Technically he wouldnt be a racist though, he would simply be a bigot. Yes, I am mostly pointing out the difference because people are uneducated and/or lazy and Racism is something to be eradicated but bigotry is part of the normal human condition to one degree or another. Glad you are not confused.

I have bucky on Ignore so I see his ignored member once in a while but dont have the displeasure of reading his rants.

Once I put him on Ignore the entire tone of the forum changed for me and I was not constantly distracted by his racist rantings. It is funny that for someone who is so prolific what a small impact he makes on the conversation as I never have to read ignored content to discern what crap he is spewing daily.

Did you note that I didn't call him a racist?

Cutesy wordplay does not really impress me.
Sorry but where did you get idea that what I post would be to impress you?
You are misusing the word racist.
Here you state that misused racist, when I inferred that his post inferred him to be a racist. For the reasons that I stated. It was a word well picked for its use and its use is WHY I posted. So can you not see you were wrong?
You keep calling bigots racists and that is where it gets confusing.
Where did I call anyone a racist? EVER So your posting that I keep calling bigots racists is just cutesy wordplay spin, from me inferring that tiedstick had iferred it by his post. I am not impressed by your post.

Maybe most just don't want to? In my small town, most black folks who take a job here move away eventually because there aren't many blacks living here, and they want to be among black folks. That does not make them racist, that is just their preference. Some stay, and they are treated just like everybody else.

We hire lots of engineers here. HR is under huge pressure to recruit minorities. A black, female electrical engineer commands about a 30% higher starting salary than a white, male EE. Black, female electrical engineers are quite a rarity despite that. In fact, I only know of one.

I would love to live next door to Michael Jordan but "they" won't let me. That could be racist, but I doubt it.
maybe they don't live there because of klan members like you, george.

You must work for the government. Private companies won't pay extra because of race or sex. Wait either does the government. I know 4 black female ee by the way 2 with space backgrounds. Let me know your company, I'll fill their ranks for a finders fee:lol:
i know who he pretends to work for.

george is retired though and living on a social security welfare check now. can't even afford $800 a year to keep his "defend the roost" event going.

You are misusing the word racist. There are very few true racists in America. They believe that their race is superior and other races are inferior. What you are reading and seeing is bigotism and predjudice. You keep calling bigots racists and that is where it gets confusing.
no, racism does not mean strictly "thinks race X is superior". a racist is anyone who says racist things, like you do.

You inferred he was a racist even though you knew he was a bigot on the grounds that you could later claim you didnt call him a racist. It is true you didnt but you did the equivalent and now you are tap dancing around it like 4th grade.

i'll say it again, racism does not simply mean believing in racial superiority, like you do.

racism is also just making racist statements, like you do.

rac·ism

ideologies and practices that seek to justify, or cause, the unequal distribution of privileges or rights among groups that are conceptualized as racially or ethnically different. These can take the form of social actions, practices or beliefs, or political systems (e.g., Apartheid) that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other, based on presumed shared inheritable traits, abilities, or qualities. It may also hold that members of different races should be treated differently.[1][2]



so when you make statements like this one:

All a candidate has to do is be half black for 90% of the African American voter turnout to vote for them...
we get to identify you as a racist.

I will give UncleBuck credit for it... He knows more about racism than all of his other Klan buddies combined. He is the master racist.

take a look in the mirror, skinhead.

I have had a gun pulled on me 3 times. Of course, I live in a majority black area
IMO this is the NUMBER 1 problem in the poor black communities. None of the problems can even be addressed because of the political correctness.

Aren't you the guy that said people alive today should be given thanks for the labor of people long ago dead based solely on race?

Why YES, you are, racist!

Sometimes, but it does get tedious. It's the only thing Uncle B. has though since he long ago ran from any kind of reasonable debate with me. My apologies. I'll go kill myself now.

can you name one single historian who shares your opinion that racial segregation was not harmful to the blacks who were denied service by racists like you?
