Merged Israel Attacks Palestinian Aid Flotilla, According To Reports

[DC]

Oh, the ole colourblindness thing, that's actually just another form of racism, it's more subtle, but racist nonetheless.

Hey, you wanted the terms of engagement to be PC and you got it.

so

Pot, kettle, black

so, not defining people by their skin color is now considered racism.....

bye bye have fun on the ignore list.

 

[Stout]

That's OK DC, many people use PC as a weapon in order to score cheap points and without realising just what they're stepping into.

Dream on, you cant hide your blatant racism behind your PC accusations.

what the heck are you talking about? that keeps geting pointed out over and over again, one of Thunder's favorite points.

There's another thread where he said Egypt lifted its blockade, when in reality it never did. Its brought up in passing. Egypt definitely has to do more which includes allowing in produce which is the base of the Gazan economy.

I notice no one has explained Lionking's question of why only one ship was involved with any violence while the rest sailed on to a port on the Israeli coast.

maybe that question should be directed at the people that were actually on board, how would we know?

May it be that they attacked the soldiers first as claimed?

Ah DC, I thought I was on your ignore list. Lemme guess you made that up.

Like you made up the idea that the term brown people was somehow offensive and stuck with your views even after I showed you that it's used in the PC community.

So I take it you are unable to refute my claims......

Oh, so I'm only sort of on it then, OK, gotcha. I'm flattered that you've created extra work for yourself just to read my posts.

Remember that link I posted. the Restructure one ? Start poking around in there and eventually you'll discover the PC community for yourself.

Check out Tim Wise, Racialicious. When you've perused those, I can give you more.

Gas masks enable offensive operations against opponents armed with tear gas. This makes them offensive, in the same way that missile defense systems enable offensive operations against opponents armed with tactical nuclear missiles.

The U.S.S.R. was, as a practical matter, right to object to the proposed "Star Wars" missile defense system as an offensive system that upset the balance of power to the benefit of the U.S.

Aw, poor Israeli navy having their balance of power upset by some gas masks!

Out of curiosity, B_P, how many people not engaged in offensive operations against Israeli boarding parties were given any cause to wish they had brought gas masks?

Fortunately, Israel's offensive tear gas weapon was neutralized by the freedom-loving wind.

There is nothing in the Restructure article that could be used to argue that casually calling Egypt "brown peoples land" ("... flying over to the brown peoples land (Egypt)") isn't racist.

The fact that an anti-racism activist uses that term is.

In what context?

I don't recall anyone referring to a sovereign country as "the brown people's land" or anything remotely similar.

I'll have another look, though.

Later: No, it appears you are talking out of your assumptions, but perhaps I've missed something. If so, what?

JihadJane quoted YOUR post.

he never used the term himself. your post is dishonest.

What are you talking about?

The restructure blog is an anti racist site run by an anti racist activist. I was hoping you'd figure that out by yourselves. I'll lower my expectations in the future.

Now if the term "brown people" doesn't set off any alarm bells over there, why on earth should I expect it to freak you three out so bad ? Are you pulling some sort of mega political correctness thing ?

It sets alarm bells over here but not there because the way you used "brown people" on this thread is completely different to how it is used in the article you linked too.


Evidently, though, this vast difference in usage is imperceptible to you.

The article is talking about how empathy is influenced by skin color and the phrase "brown people" is being used as a neutral description of people with brown skin.

Your use it it to describe Egypt , in the context of a generalized rant about shrieking, jumping, protesting, white leftist activists types, your beloved PC community , appeared to be no more than racism-flavored trolling.

Perhaps, though, you can offer a different reason for casually referring to Egypt as "brown peoples land". I'd be interested to hear it.

No great surprise, it wasn't answered earlier. It, of course, couldn't be due to the IHH operatives on board arming themselves and beating the boarders with metal poles.
