In your opinion was the American population ever racist? If so, when was racism fixed? Does your wife, neighbors, friends know you think they're racist or do you have an insular friend circle? What do they think about it? I mean, do they outright admit it and say they're recovering, or maybe get angry? Does it ever trouble you to insult half the country and then ask them to vote like you do?
Pretty insular but we're all aware that we have our own racial biases and prejudices. I can admit that I'm not some kind of aracial superhuman, and so can my wife and my friends. You're still not getting it. It's not an insult. If my wife did a racist thing and I called her out on it, I wouldn't be insulting her, and she wouldn't take it as an insult. She'd try not to do the thing anymore. When I say that half the country is acting in a racist way I'm not saying it to look down on that half of the country, I'm saying it so they can try to not do the racist thing so much.
You really have absolutely no clue how any of this works.

How is that answer even connected to what you were quoting? He's been doing a lot of the questioning for the moment, and I wanted to get back to the implications of his first mega-post. And you wonder why people accuse you of deflecting from the issue? It's a very simple question, that could've been answered just by a single sentence. If you quote one thing and answer another of five pages back because it's more convenient, yeah that's on you.
Answering questions when asked by others is required in good faith discussions. I don’t understand why he posts these articles and then refuses to discuss the matter. He asks us endless questions, but refuses to answer even the most basic question put to him.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve come to the opinion that you simply refuse to engage with any discussion about racism unless you get to set the terms. And absent that, you simply refuse. That includes what I posted above. You are some uncomfortable with the topic, you just ignore it or claim that its unfair that its brought up.
You seem uncomfortable asking real questions so you manipulate them to suit your tasks. Did you vote for Hillary or the racist? Did you vote for Hillary, but the more incompetent or racist version. I have the choice of not answering such a framed question, or waiting for your mood to change into actually asking who I voted for and why, or answering dishonesty with sarcasm. What is racism to you, anyways?

So, what you're saying is that you refuse to give a direct answer because you're a recovering racist and you would like more time to come to terms with your past? That, even though the evidence exists to paint your "white savior" in a bad light are plentiful, you would rather not admit to anything just yet, until you, yourself, are comfortable with your own life? Are you suggesting that the forum posters in this thread stop attacking you while you continue to post shit-tier responses to questions demanding a straightforward answer?
If that's the case, then ok. I guess the posters should lay off of you for a bit.

Fine, deflection it is. Which is basically the same as answering it anyway so thanks.

While we're on the topic, I'll assert that I don't consider Trump necessarily a racist but an equal opportunity selfish scumbag that happens to be politically advantaged by appealing to racists. There's a subtle difference between being actively racist and being a selfish and morally bankrupt politician where being racist is advantageous. However, most of this thread has no interest in inconvenient nuance so the difference is apparently lost.

It's not that you don't understand your own arguments, it's that you haven't thought them through enough to understand their logical consequences or implications for broader society. Then three posts later you're down to sound bites and anti-vaxxers.

Christ... She's going to run again...
Are democrats that dumb? I doubt it. They very well might be. They managed to get Trump elected, after all. that would be the republicans who got him elected; not the democrats. You're both right. Democrats failed to field a candidate that would win. Republicans were probably just as surprised by this win. Hillary could've won though, that's the point. The way they handled the entire campaign is what lost them. Keep in mind, the majority voted for HRC. It's not just the eMails, it's how they "handled" Sanders, how people had to resign because of fuckery, etc and so on. What in the campaign leads you to that conclusion?
How often are you gonna quote and answer the same post? Let me ask you this, lets see if you get a clear answer out: what conclusion would you come to now? At the risk of responding twice (and this thread moves quick, sorry), I'd say the situation with Arpaio starts to change things. Most of the accusations of racism in the campaign were intellectually bankrupt and obviously politically motivated. You seem to have an honesty streak, so I wondered what about his campaign struck you that way. I mean this as more than Trump sticking his foot in his mouth and being an incompetent communicator.
I don't have an "honest streak", i just tell it how i see it (and in regards to the 2016 election, i never had a different opinion about either party).
You seem to confuse the matter a little bit, it's not just about his campaign. He was a racist before he ran for office, factually. Denying black tenants, the stupid birth certificate bullshit, calling mexicans unisono "rapist" and "mexico isn't sending their good guys" doesn't help either. The list is long, and i really can't be bothered to point out every bit of racism by him - i feel like this was already enough, and it turned out to be correct to assume he's racist.
That "incompetent communicator" really doesn't suit your argument either, because all that did is preventing him from hiding said racism.
edit: jeez the thread does move fast. Too fast for me, back to Destiny2.

Yes. People in the thread have a different opinion on what is racism and what makes someone racist. That is the topic in the thread right now.

I can't tell the difference between the posts that you make that you intend to be taken seriously and the posts where you're deliberately saying something stupid as sarcasm. And honestly, I don't think that's on me.
In your opinion was the American population ever racist? If so, when was racism fixed?

It's not that they're not registered. It's that they've been legally barred from voting. 26% of African American adults in Kentucky don't have the vote.

I voted for Hillary because I didn’t want the ACA repealed, since my wife has a pre-existing condition and my nephew is autistic and my sister has a hard time affording healthcare. I had no faith in the GOP to do anything but destroy healthcare.
I’ve explained my opinions on racism numerous times in this thread. I’ve explained it to you several times and I won’t do it again.

Jokes are about expectations, you subvert an exception or you play into it, either way you're doing it at the expense of that thing. Meaning a joke can be funny multiple ways, an absurd or a straight take on it. So a joke based on race depending on the joke teller and audience, it can be racist and shit or just that mild racism we all kinda are fine with depending on the people because it's understood it's in poor taste/is bad Funny enough, does it make it better m4ini if you're a racist for your jokes, and Trump's a racist for (likely) participation in his father's real estate controversies and Arpaio? I think there's a difference between making a funny about american stereotypes etc and pardoning someone who tortured and "hunted" down blacks and latinos. What kind of retarded question is that?
Semantics just said "it is racism either way." As in, your behavior about cracking a joke about stereotypes will
have people call you a racist.
Now, if the bar is literally that low, and you're a racist, I'm a racist, Kwark's a racist, Hillary's a racist, Trump's a racist, do we go to calling like Level 10 Racism? The term gets bandied about for everything from cracking a joke about stereotypes to pardoning a racial profiling sheriff. I wonder if that concerns you at all.

You know good and well there's like a dozen reasons people have brought up for Trump and racism that amounts to a lot more than he's a white male. You can dismiss it as circumstantial or not substantial enough, but it's silly to pretend that people don't have cause to see him that way. Presenting the election as a choice with an "incompetent and racist version of the same thing" is inviting scorn. It's a politically partisan attack and should be seen and treated as such. Your mythical "hmm let's go down the bullet points from immigration policy to Arpaio and reach a conclusion" isn't at issue. That is because you shit on people who voted for Clinton. You demand your views be respected at all costs, but then refuse to extend the same to others. Everything revolves around your feelings and that you feel respected and comfortable at the expense of everyone involved. Show me. You exaggerate like mad, but show me "you shit on people who voted for Clinton" and this bs about not extending the same to others. Nah, I’m all set. I won’t play into your victimhood any more. As I said before, you are more interested in proving the other side is terrible than having a discussion. You fail to provide other posters with the respect you constantly demand.
Then I accept you claim ill behavior on both sides, but are unwilling to show what you mean. I really see no point in justifying all this racism-mongering with "You did it too with Clinton" except lacking any proof.

See, this is what people mean. Stop deflecting the questions I've asked you. You've read the posts before about the situation in Kentucky KwarK just mentioned AND you don't respond to the other two by focusing on the first with something entirely different.

So basically Trump in almost every way? The guy you voted for and continue to whitewash. More competent in her corruption and administration, greater corruption and abuse of power. So you voted for an incompetent and racist version of the same thing? Incompetence instead of competence in destruction. And I voted for a white man for president; so basically he was a racist by the metric of some here. I'm hardly joking, it's a pejorative and understood as one, but by definition it really had joined fascist for actual meaning. You know good and well there's like a dozen reasons people have brought up for Trump and racism that amounts to a lot more than he's a white male. You can dismiss it as circumstantial or not substantial enough, but it's silly to pretend that people don't have cause to see him that way. Presenting the election as a choice with an "incompetent and racist version of the same thing" is inviting scorn. It's a politically partisan attack and should be seen and treated as such. Your mythical "hmm let's go down the bullet points from immigration policy to Arpaio and reach a conclusion" isn't at issue. That is because you shit on people who voted for Clinton. You demand your views be respected at all costs, but then refuse to extend the same to others. Everything revolves around your feelings and that you feel respected and comfortable at the expense of everyone involved. Show me. You exaggerate like mad, but show me "you shit on people who voted for Clinton" and this bs about not extending the same to others. Nah, I’m all set. I won’t play into your victimhood any more. As I said before, you are more interested in proving the other side is terrible than having a discussion. You fail to provide other posters with the respect you constantly demand. Then I accept you claim ill behavior on both sides, but are unwilling to show what you mean. I really see no point in justifying all this racism-mongering with "You did it too with Clinton" except lacking any proof.
I’ve been willing for two years or more. I’ve done this over and over with you. I’m not doing it again simply because you are to obtuse to remember. I am tired of explaining the same thing over and over when you won’t answer a simple question from 5 pages ago. You are not worth the effort of the paragraphs I would need to write again.

I think Danglars genuinely believes that we think Trump is a racist because he's a white man and to us all white men are racists. Nah, the occasional racist joke makes the racist. Btw, i don't think Danglars believes that, i actually think he knows full well that Trump is a racist because of other reasons. I still like the Chapell show. Funny thing, never watched it because i have trouble understanding what he's saying. Kevin Hart, and Ben Clover are the most watched black comedians for me.

I’ve known way to may racists who use racist jokes as the test to find out if they are in favorable company. Never cracked a joke about stereotypes? Or disabled people? edit: or gender? I think, and don't get this wrong, that people like you are as big a part of the problem as racism itself. You're not helping by screamishly pointing at anyone who's cracking a race/nationality joke. It is racism either way...Just because jokes can often be taken in good light doesn't make it less racist. Both joke teller and audience can make a joke more or less a racist act. Jokes are about expectations, you subvert an exception or you play into it, either way you're doing it at the expense of that thing. Meaning a joke can be funny multiple ways, an absurd or a straight take on it. So a joke based on race depending on the joke teller and audience, it can be racist and shit or just that mild racism we all kinda are fine with depending on the people because it's understood it's in poor taste/is bad Funny enough, does it make it better m4ini if you're a racist for your jokes, and Trump's a racist for (likely) participation in his father's real estate controversies and Arpaio? I think there's a difference between making a funny about american stereotypes etc and pardoning someone who tortured and "hunted" down blacks and latinos. What kind of retarded question is that? Semantics just said "it is racism either way." As in, your behavior about cracking a joke about stereotypes will have people call you a racist. Now, if the bar is literally that low, and you're a racist, I'm a racist, Kwark's a racist, Hillary's a racist, Trump's a racist, do we go to calling like Level 10 Racism? The term gets bandied about for everything from cracking a joke about stereotypes to pardoning a racial profiling sheriff. I wonder if that concerns you at all.
It concerns me for sure.
Shit you are racist now if you're white and you exist.
Unless you join the people saying you're racist, then you're not.

While we're on the topic, I'll assert that I don't consider Trump necessarily a racist but an equal opportunity selfish scumbag that happens to be politically advantaged by appealing to racists. There's a subtle difference between being actively racist and being a selfish and morally bankrupt politician where being racist is advantageous. However, most of this thread has no interest in inconvenient nuance so the difference is apparently lost. Yes. People in the thread have a different opinion on what is racism and what makes someone racist. That is the topic in the thread right now.
I'm confused how you can consider someone who acts exclusively in selfish interest as racist, or how a "definition" that covers that use of the term is a useful one in any conversation. It's like saying a blind punch-o-matic robot at a circus is racist after 3 punches because the first 3 people in line happened to be black.
"Hey guys, the Sun is racist! It sunburns white people faster than other races! F*** that thing."
