Ed Dueling protests spark state of emergency in Virginia.

[Garrison]

And Trump finally manages to make a statement after two days he should have made after 5 minutes:

Trump condemns 'evil racism' in Charlottesville

Still no mention of domestic terrorism though.

 

[Garrison]

Their statements and behaviors.

Which is how I prefer to assess people in my life.

I recognize this is not a popular perspective.

Yeah it's not difficult, people who think black people not being slaves anymore is a bad thing - racist

People who believe that all people are equal regardless of skin colour - not racist.

Honestly not as hard as sir-drinks-a-lot seems to think

Some local clergy who had their own protest there.

Thanks god for the bike lock brigade

Stop playing games. If you're as knowledgeable about Trump as you claim....

I haven't made any big claims about my knowledge of Trump.

you know exactly what we're talking about, and your request for evidence is nothing but a way to avoid admitting that we're right. If we were to post evidence, you'd find a way to dismiss it, and then claim that none was ever presented. We know the drill.

With all of the typing you've been doing, you could have just provided a clear, obvious quote to settle the matter. Unless you're claiming he's being a racist in a way that's not clear and obvious.

And there's the proof to my previous post. Once again, you know exactly what's been refered to, and what it was about, but because the full quote wasn't posted with a full analysis by a board of legal and sociological experts, you act all ignorant. "What does this all mean? I have no idea!" You're not a ten year old.

What do you think the reason was for not providing the full quote and context?

Their statements and behaviors.

Me too! Funny how we've reached different conclusions. Oh, well. I guess we'll never know who is right.

 

[Delphic Oracle]

To see if you have any interest in being intellectually honest.

Your statements and behavior are giving clues.

 

[sir drinks-a-lot]

I love how how you guys are all trying to dig up Steve Bannon quotes. Happens every time.

 

[Segnosaur]

Well, how about his failure to disavow support from David Duke immediately during the election?

Why should he?

Seriously? Is this a troll?

Duke is a racist. A member of the KKK. Its pretty well known. If Trump were really serious about being anti-racist, he would have immediately said "Duke is a scumbag. He doesn't represent what I stand for, and I'd rather not have his vote".

But, Trump thrived on the racist vote. That's why he didn't immediately disavow Duke during the election, and that's why he didn't condemn the neo-nazis on Saturday.

It's a question of degrees, but I don't see much of a difference in degree between Trump and the past couple of administrations. Would you really claim that Obama didn't often use divisive rhetoric while Commander in Chief?

Do you really not see the difference between a president making statements during an election campaign (when they are out talking to supporters), and a president making partisan political statements when speaking in front of a non-partisan gathering in an official government capacity?

Seriously? Are you a troll?

This guy's guy to be the biggest imaginary racist of all time. His name is always trotted out as a "zinger" to show how racist everyone/everything is these days, but when you start to look into it, everything evaporates. I've issued this challenge before, but can you provide any racist quotes from Mr. Bannon?

Bannon was the editor of Brietbart, a news organization that put out such amazing pieces of journalism as:
- Birth Control makes women unattractive
- Posted an unsubstantiated claim that Huma Abedin was a Saudi spy. (Why? just because she lived in the middle east when younger?)
- Only white males have the right temperement to "make the right calls".

As the one running Brietbart, he does have a responsibility towards the content that the site publishes.

This is in addition to accounts of Bannon using terms like "Dyke" (something certainly considered not acceptable in society today.)

(Note: Technically some of that is not racist, it is homophobic and or sexist. But, it all falls under the umbrelly of bigotry. Which, apparently, you seem fine with.)

From Facebook:

It's becoming so clear now why the war of words between SJWs and the new white nationalists is so intense. It isn't because they have huge ideological differences -- it's because they have so much in common. Both are obsessed with race, SJWs demanding white shame, the alt-right responding with white pride. Both view everyday life and culture through a highly racialised filter. SJWs can't even watch a movie without counting how many lines the black actor has in comparison with the white actor so that they can rush home and tumblr about the injustice of it all. Both have a seemingly boundless capacity for self-pity. Both are convinced they're under siege, whether by patriarchy, transphobia and the Daily Mail (SJWs) or by pinkos and blacks (white nationalists). Both have a deep censorious strain. And both crave recognition of their victimhood and flattery of their feelings. This is really what they're fighting over -- not principles or visions but who should get the coveted title of the most hard-done-by identity. They're auditioning for social pity. "My life matters! My pain matters! I matter!" The increasing bitterness and even violence of their feud is not evidence of its substance, but the opposite: it's the narcissism of small differences.

I don't believe a word you're typing. You know precisely what I'm talking about; you know exactly what we're refering to; you know exactly how it supports the claim.

What do you think the reason was for not providing the full quote and context?

The other poster gave you the benefit of the doubt, but not enough to make a full effort, and we've all been proven entirely correct with your response.

Sure I do. I didn't claim I didn't.

Weak sauce. You're digging. At least you probably didn't cut-and-paste, because you kept spelling Breitbart wrong, but you moved the goalposts to "things not considered acceptable in society today", an didn't even provide a quote for that!

An obvious racist, huh?

Now there is an interesting rhetorical tactic.

Pretty clear that Sid Drinks A Lot definition of Racism is considerably different then that of the rest of the world....

The alt-right continue to have a bit of a meltdown. All the better, if there's one thing better than punching a nazi it's getting them to punch each other

A practically inevitable consequence of the Fuhrer Principle, fortunately.

Now there is an interesting rhetorical tactic.

It's called a conclusion.

 

[CapelDodger]

Apparently people are truly obsessed about what Trump says or doesn't say, it's bizarre really.

Trump made a big thing of Obama not saying "Radical Islamiic Terrorism" (Obama referred to Islamist terrorism) so Trump's refusal to say "White Supremacist Terrorism" is going to attract comment.

 

[CapelDodger]

It seems like everything is racist, am I right?

No. Racism has to be learnt, and not everybody is taught it. Those who are often don't realise it.
