"Jews totally run Hollywood"

Yes, he’s correct, but I’m not sure if it matters. Jewish people own nearly every major studio and control the financing in Hollywood. That doesn’t mean it is a conspiracy. But there are implications in relation to our countries relationship to Israel. What do you think happens to an actor who comes out in strong support of the Palestinians? They very nearly get blacklisted.

Hollywood has an enormous impact on shaping our views and values in this society and it may be better, in an ideal world, if there was a more balanced ethic ownership in Hollywood. It is up for debate what impacts the heavily Jewish owned studios have in deciding what content gets the green light and what doesn’t, but it is an interesting discussion.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to even have the discussion for fear of being labeled an anti Semite. Its a worthy discussion. Personally, regardless of who owns Hollywood, I think we as a culture give way too much power to these people to shape our values and our minds. Support Independent films and music.

The stuff Hollywood is releasing these days is pretty awful, as a general rule.

Cite?

Cite?

Because you know those Jews, eh, eh?
And, what with all those… how many movies recently unambiguously supporting Israel? Well, there was Munich, a decidedly, shall we say, less than bright endorsement, that was made by one of the very Chief Jews, Spielberg himself. Maybe he isn’t in on the Hollywood Jew Agenda, though? And, damn, that received numerous Oscar nominations. Maybe the Jews who control Hollywood need to beam some more control rays at the Oscars?

Mmmm hmmm.
Like Daniel Day-Lewis, outspoken opponent of Israeli policy and was then given the starring role in There will be blood (which The Jews went on to silence by giving two Oscars). Or of course Daniel Glover who, bizarrely, in 2009 supported an (actual) blacklist of films from Tel Aviv at the Toronto International Film Festival… and has since been “blacklisted” by The Jews to the tune of a dozen movies that he has made or will be making.

Mmmm hmmmm.

Of course. That’s why Bush never could have gotten elected, let alone twice and… oh.

Indeed.
Also ‘interesting’ and ‘up for debate’ is whether or not the heavily "Jewish owned’ (cite?) studios have stopped beating their wives.

I do agree with you though, it’s simply too bad that, without any facts people would like to invent non-facts and speculate about just how nefarious Jewish control of Hollywood really is. What’s the world coming to?
Now if only we could get a quality scientific study done on “Gays: limp wristed lisping, mincing potential pedophiles, or just wimps?”

Not only is this untrue, but some of the Jews in Hollywood are strong supporters of Palestinian rights. You can be a Jew, even a Zionistic one, even an Israeli, and believe in the creation of a Palestinian state and that settlements are a bad idea. Many American Jews do, especially the liberally minded ones that Hollywood is supposed to be so full of.

While I suspect that there are some perspectives that many Jews share as a result of a shared cultural heritage, the concept that Jews are monolithic in their views and perspectives is laughable. Jews range from neocons and capitalist pigs and free market economists, to communists and socialists and human rights activists and tree huggers, and all points in between. There is no “Jewish POV” to be promoted in the media.

Actually, I increasingly doubt that it is so worthy a discussion.

Curse you, FinnAgain, you wily sleuth! You’ve exposed me! It’s true: I am a secret follower of David Duke. (And here I thought my work on the Obama campaign was a perfect cover! Damn! That FinnAgain is good!)

:rolleyes:

My coinage of the phrase “Jewish supremacist” in this thread was my own, and I think a fitting descriptor of what I was seeing. The irony of the phrase was intentional, given the usual context of the word “supremacist,” and was meant to prick the consciences of those who seemed like they might be buying into the idea that Jewish achievement is the result of innate superiority.

(It’s no good if you have to explain the irony, but some people are a little slow I guess.)

As for the rest of your usual run-on post, I again encourage readers to read the earlier thread to see my comments in proper context rather than as sliced-and-diced-for-deception by you.

Indeed. And people should notice that the quote I provided is 100% verbatim and intact, making your claims of “deception” by “slicing and dicing” somewhat curious. Odd, though, that a block of several paragraphs taken verbatim isn’t enough. There’s always a greater ‘context’ and the words don’t reaaaaaaaly say what they say. A direct quote of your own words is now somehow suspect, naturally your words are probably in a conspiracy against you (not necessarily Jewish but maybe and we should sue and/or investigate). I’m sure that’s my fault too. I probably got to your words first with offers of JewGold.

Why, when your own words are quoted they say things that don’t look good, and that’s obviously the fault of something other than those words. Obviously! It must be enemy action. Or, at least, it is not “necessarily” enemy action but we really need to look at see if the people who quote your own words are agents of a foreign power working to bring down your crusade against Jewish supremacism (which you coined yourself), or if there’s just a conspiracy.

Just like you ignored all your other little ‘errors’, like how you invented ‘close ties’ for Wolfowitz with a foreign power, or how a paper about how a foreign power should work without any US help and should even reject US aid in more general terms was really the nucleus of a group of potential-traitors-or-foreign-agents’ attempt to subvert the US in order to… give even more US help to that nation and to give even more aid to that nation. Or how an incomplete and unverified list of only the most visible positions in leadership is prima facie evidence that we need some lawsuits to do some Jew busting.

Just like your honest reaction to an explicit claim about cultural influences that led to over-representation in a few fields was to sagely notice that it was really a case of “Jewish supremacism” about how Jews were innately superior in absolutely everything.
And even when confronted with the actual quote, somehow you can’t seem to catch your error.
Just like a list of Jews in Hollywood is proof of a JewClan fucking things up for honest gentiles, but the same list (which you asked for as something that would debunk your Clan Theory) in the UK is to be handwaved away.

Certainly, there is no pattern behind your arguments and no pattern behind your denials. But some of those damn paranoid Jews (when they’re not conspiring to take over your country or working as a clan to fuck over gentiles) keep seeing a problem. Of course, you might at some point realize that the problem isn’t necessarily whether or not people think you are a racist, but the fact that you keep using the same arguments, which keep to the same patterns patterns (even up to the denials), and which use the same terms that racists use while they make the same exact claims that you’re also making. One would think the link might be somewhat obvious.

spoke you really are misrepresenting here. Finn is correct: I had responded to a claim that Jewish successes in other fields were due to “a culture of achievement” by stating that I believed that other cultural factors were at play, that wanting to achieve was not uniquely Jewish, and that Jewish achievement was not even across all fields. You response was out of left field and when called on it you, to your credit, realized that and apologized. The apology was accepted and we moved on.

To spin it as other than that is misrepresentation of the facts.

Of course after the apology Spoke alleged that you were really “talking about the innate superiority of Jews which causes them naturally to rise to the top of every field”. And that he didn’t “know what you could call that except Jewish supremacism.” But that since you had assured us that was not your meaning, he took you at you word. Ya know, out of charity.
(‘Now, I’m sorry I said you were being such a faggot, but saying you didn’t like football sure seemed like something a sissyboy would say. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt thought that you weren’t really acting like a fag.’)

Interesting how a claim of cultural factors that cause limited effects in some fields is really Jewish supremacism about innate superiority in absolutely everything. One wonders how such a mistake gets made. Or what it reveals about an argument.

However, since those are his own words they probably need to be ignored as unrepresentative of his argument.

DSeid, I would love to discuss this with you further via PM if you like. I appreciate your candor and graciousness in discussing what I know are highly-charged topics. Unfortunately, some of your cohorts do not share those traits, and I can see this thread headed toward mudslinging. I’ve no interest in participating in that.

Yeah, if this thread keeps up, people may keep posting your own words which you’ll have to deny! And they may even point out all your many very strange and curiously un-retracted errors.
Attacking your argument on its lack of merit is the* worst type* of mudslinging.
Of course, your hunt for Jewish Supremacists, Jewish Conspiracies, Double Agents of International Jewry, and Jewish Clannishness is not mudsligning, at all.

And good Jews will just shut up and take it.

Of course, DSeid, this is exactly what I have been talking about. It’s a fairly effective tactic as long as someone counts on Jews not standing up for themselves. Someone uses classical racist arguments, generally either not backed up by facts or with invented ‘facts’ or simply pretending that something which was said was really the exact opposite and then when called on it they resort to cries of “Jewish paranoia!” and tries to load the discussion in such a manner that their racist arguments have to be “graciously” accepted by their targets. The tactic itself relies on Jews to adopt the stereotypical position of obsequious, inoffensive, meek intellectuals.

“Now, negroes, you’re not necessarily all shiftless, lazy moochers. But it’s a subject that bears examination and I hope you’ll all be gracious enough to calmly look at my claims, unless you’re some kind of Quixotic paranoids. Now, let’s look at the incidents of watermelon theft amongst your people…”

Of course, nobody would expect that to fly. But Jews? Jews should shut the fuck up and take it, or serve as accomplices and grant legitimacy as centuries-old racist tropes are revived with the flimsiest of justifications (“Now, we don’t necessarily have any proof, but those Jews have to be watched carefully lest they betray/hurt/conspire against honest gentiles!”)
There’s a reason that people who trot out the same old anti-Jewish tropes routinely look for a token Jew to help sell their position while loudly trumpeting the fact that, why, a Jew agrees with them about Jewish malfeasance, a Jew agrees!

It’s the same reason Spoke somehow managed to confuse cultural factors and limited areas of relative increased success with innate superiority across absolutely everything, managed to miss his error, and managed to not retract it. Racist arguments don’t work on the facts, so other tactics need to be relied on to sell them. Or at least, change the subject once they’re pointed out.

:wink:

Never could have guessed you’d try to change the subject.

And change it to something so novel, too. You use blatantly racist arguments and then when you’re called on it, why, those who catch you must be Quixotic paranoids! Who could have guessed? Just like those uppity negroes who object to us wondering about how often they steal watermelons and loaf around, crazy paranois Jews also object to the patriotic inquiry you bravely lay down that just happens to have no factual support and directly mirrors classical anti-Semitic tropes.
And nobody ever could have predicted it.

Cabals of Jews controlling Hollywood and hurting gentiles (even you, you tell us, if you dared try to approach the Jewish bastion of power, would be harmed by their dastardly cabal and kept from a career in Hollywood)… how could you ever predict that echoes traditional slurs about Jewish control of the media? A conspiracy and/or pack of Israeli agents controlling the US government in order to subvert their own home in the service of their (alien, naturally) Jewish masters? How could you possibly predict that echoes traditional slurs about Jewish control of governments? And why might anybody see a pattern unless they were a paranoid, tilting at windmills? But looking for Jew-traitors and Jew-cabals and Jew-clans hurting gentiles? That’s just good sense.
Truly, your arguments are unpredictable and varied.

But not to let you change the subject, have you figured out yet how you happened to make the mistake that limited cultural factors that produced relative increased success in a limited number of fields was really a claim of innate superiority that extended to absolutely everything? Ya know, while you were hunting for Jewish supremacists (a phrase which you totally invented on your own)?

Maybe you’ve figured out how Wolfowitz had very close ties to Israel despite the fact that you imagined it?
Perhaps you’ve figured out why some Jews serving on the PNAC is ammunition for racist smears about dual loyalty and potential Israeli agents, and why you ignore that the same PNAC also had the people who were actually in charge of making the decisions, like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Libby etc…? Perhaps you can explain why the racist argument you use just happens to use fiction to support it, distorts facts to make its case and focuses exclusively on the Jews in an organization when the Gentiles in it had much more power to actually implement their goals?
Maybe you can explain how an explicit agenda to have a foreign nation divorce itself from US aid, especially US military aid was really turned into a conspiracy to get the US to give aid to that foreign nation, especially military aid?

Not that your refrain of “I keep saying racist things, why do people keep pointing that out?!?” isn’t touching and heartfelt, what with your Scientologistesque tactic of never actually addressing the flaws in your nonsense and instead immediately going on the attack instead (please, quote more Cervantes, that’ll address how you make such convenient mistakes).

You can answer those any time now.
Let me know when you’re going to, it’ll be time for me to buy a lottery ticket.

You don’t like Cervantes? How about a Lyndon Johnson story, then? A bit more earthy, but…

You seem to be from the Johnson school of debate.

I haven’t been following the most recent exchanges very closely, so I can’t comment directly. What I can say is that if I were a member of an ethnic group that had been the target of bloody pogroms for a couple thousand years, I too might be a bit sensitive to any comments that seemed to indicate even the vaguest racial bias. If you truly believe that such racially motivated slaughter is still possible in this country, then such a high degree of sensitivity would be justified. The fact that genocide still happens in places like Rwanda and the Balkans makes such a world view at least plausible. But is it really plausible for the US in the 21st century? Because if it’s not, then I think you need to give people the benefit of the doubt until they leave absolutely no doubt as their views. And by that I mean objectively there is virtually no doubt.

I might have biases as to specific groups of people whether based on race, religion, ethnicity or whatever. That doesn’t make me a bigot. I give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove to me that they don’t deserve it. My preconceptions don’t determine a priori how I will treat someone or what my opinion of them will be. THAT is what makes someone a bigot.

dzero, while I agree with giving the benefit of the doubt, I must also tell you that I cannot say that I believe it is impossible for it to happen in America, or elsewhere, in this century - highly unlikely, sure, but still possible.

spoke, let us just see how far we can agree before you go.

  1. Currently the heads of the major Hollywood movie houses are mostly Jewish at least culturally.

  2. The industry seems to have a fair number of Jews in its ranks. In fact a significant number of Academy Award winning movies and movies recognized as the world’s best historically have had Jewish directors.

  3. Jews are similarly extremely well represented in several other fields that involve managing ideas, especially new ones - science, math, medicine, economics, literature, chess, music, political thought, etc. The reasons for that may be unclear (I lean to some very particular historic cultural factors) but acknowledging that fact is not “supremacism”. It is a matter of record as uncomfortable as I may be having to point it out.

  4. There has been no evidence presented in this thread, or that I am aware of existing, that Jews are any more represented in the movie industry overall than they are in any of those other fields. (The current crop of studio heads being Jewish is not evidence of that.) There is no evidence that Jews “overwhelm” Hollywood despite a previous claim made here that they do, no more than they overwhelm as winners of the Nobel Prize.

  5. Good-ole-boy networking is an insufficient explanation for the large presence of Jews in all those fields. To try to evoke it as plausible for one, so therefore the presence of some significant number should be considered as presumptive evidence of discrimination against non-Jews, is absurd.

  6. Jews do not represent a single POV and even though they may skew to the liberal side statistically, they are spread across the political spectrum.
    I think you will agree easily to the first three and to #6. #4 you may not want to accept but is the case. And the fact that you have so far persisted in clinging to #5 as “an open question” boggles me.

But what if it’s not the ‘brutal racism’ of genocide, but simply the ‘smiling racism’ that typifies Spoke’s arguments? He doesn’t want Jews shot, he just wants to sue Hollywood because there are too many Jewish CEO’s and they must be acting as a clan to harm gentiles. He doesn’t want to have Jews deported, but he’s fine inventing non-facts and using blatantly unsound logic to argue for why any Jew in politics whose opinions differ from his is either a potential conspirator against America or an actual foreign agent working to bring down their own home for the benefit of foreign masters.

What does it matter if there’s a new round of pogroms or if Spoke gets his ways and Jews are, again, treated as “Jews rather than Americans”, just like we were once “Jews rather than Germans” and “Jews rather than Russians” and “Jews rather than …” What does it matter if there’s not a genocide but any Jew who dares enter politics has to be screened for potential Dual Loyalty?

Wolfowitz lived for half a year in Israel when he was nine years old or something, because his dad got a job there and later Wolfy did a bit of consulting work for their government. And this, ecuswbrkt, is reason to consider him having “close ties” to Israel and to watch out lest he be revealed as a part of a ring of traitor Jews or as an actual Israeli agent. And yet, Bill Clinton won a Rhodes Scholarship and studied in Oxford as an adult and then later cooperated with NATO in an actual war, and yet the same folks hunting for Jewish Dual Loyalty didn’t suggest that Clinton was really a pawn of the European elite.

Some Jews happened to advocate for Israel to stand on its own and act militarily without any US aid and without US economic aid, and this is taken as prima facie evidence to search for either a Jewish Conspiracy or actual Israeli agents who then used that plan to get the US to give Israel military and economic aid. The PNAC consisted of some of the most powerful members of the Bush administration, from Rumsfeld to Cheney to Libby, but there were also some Jews on it, so we need to investigate to see if there was a Jewish Conspiracy or if they were actual Israeli agents.

Is it really acceptable if Jews are just subjected to pervasive, disgusting racist nonsense as long as they’re not butchered? Is that going to be the standard? “You can assume that all Mexicans are probably knife-carrying thieves and blacks are lazy layabouts, and you can push for that to be a standard topic of conversation with those who object subjected to character assassination… but as long as you don’t hit them it’s okay.”

  1. That doesn’t follow at all. If no-genocide, then someone like Spoke who reliably and repeatably uses racist arguments with obvious bullshit logic and which are based either on mere innuendo or outright fiction… then we can’t object? If, when those errors are pointed out that person, like Spoke, can’t ever seen to address let alone retract them, and instead personally attacks those who note the flaws in his arguments, we can’t point out what’s going on? Do we offer the same leeway to other crusaders against “Jewish Supremacism”, like David Duke? Why not?

  2. We can never be objectively at a state where there is virtually no doubt as to someone’s views. Never. Look at this thread. Spoke alleged that a suggestion of cultural influence that caused disproportionate success in limited areas was a claim of innate Jewish superiority in all areas always and thus an example of “Jewish Supremacism” and yet, maybe Spoke just refused to actually read what was said. Maybe he didn’t kneejerk from the facts that were actually written to an old racist trope about a Jewish superiority complex, what with them calling themselves Chosen and such. Maybe it was just a strange accident and the reason he won’t retract his claims which he maintained even after his “sorry I called you a faggot” apology has nothing to do with racism… but who knows and who cares? Who knows what his views are? Hell, I honestly believe that David Duke really believes he’s not a racist, just that he too is a valiant crusader against Jewish Supremacism, also unfairly criticized for his honest views.

Just like some of my in-laws really didn’t think they were racists but saw a huge problem when their white granddaughter married a black man.

We can never win the “Guess what’s in my heart!” game. That’s why people who say racist stuff so often are almost guaranteed to use it, extensively.
But we can be pretty safe in saying that someone who reliably and repeatedly says racist things is using arguments that should be unacceptable even if that person believes that their fight against whatever race/ethnicity/group is justified.

If there was evidence for it, it wouldn’t be racist ranting about the Clannish Jews who control Hollywood. Spoke can no more retract it than he can even properly address it. The topic of conversation has to be changed or the facts have to be handwaved away (a list of Jews in Hollywood is proof of yet more American Jew traitors hurting gentiles and if there was such a list of British Jews in their movie industry it would be proof that there’s no such Clan operating in America. What, there is the same kind of list of Jews in Britain’s film industry? Can’t see how that’s relevant…)

As for why 5 has to be an “open question”, because Spoke can’t support his racist ramblings with facts. Jews in American government have to be subjected to Loyalty Probes because they worry Spoke. Jews in Hollywood need to be sued because they might just be Clanning up to fuck with gentiles. It isn’t the facts that govern it, it’s finding a way to combat the grave menace of Jewish Supremacism.

Spoke is, ironically, engaging in the Johnson school of mudslinging that he tells us is so horrible. We don’t need to prove that Jews are potential conspirators against America if they’re in government, or outright foreign agents. We don’t need to prove that Jews are a nasty Clan who are fucking over gentiles who try to get into the media (which Jews largely control). We’ve just got to make those Ky… good American citizens deny it. We’ve just got to make “American Jews: threat or menace?” the perpetual topic of conversation and allege that any Jew that doesn’t want to play along is a crazy paranoid weirdo. It’s not the facts that are important, it’s the innuendo because facts can be rebutted but innuendo never can be.

To properly challenge those (not necessarily but potentially) nefarious Jews, we don’t have to prove that they’re doing anything wrong at all. But if we keep up enough innuendo, treat them as foreigners in our midst, subject them to double standards, fabricated ‘reasoning’ and a constant barrage of insinuation and innuendo, then the job is done. Don’t prove that Jews are traitors, just continually make Jews prove that they really are loyal Americans.

Guess I shouldn’t buy that lottery ticket yet.

Care to explain how your own words are now an unsubstantiated claim? Of course you don’t, but can you amuse me at some point and give it the ol college try? Can you explain how your baseless racist rantings that you can’t and won’t offer solid logic for, let alone proof, put you “ahead in the polls” and how quoting your own words is dastardly character assassination?

Of course not. If people saying silly racist things could defend them, they would be making good arguments and not spewing racism.
Good try though. What’re you going to try to change the subject to next, and/or how are you going to avoid addressing your many odd (yet convenient!) honest mistakes? Do we get another Scientologist-Attack bit about how quoting your own words and asking you to address the glaring errors in your racist rantings just shows how much the person who’s pointed that out really has to hide.

Am I Fair Game now, Spoke?

And just to remind you, not that I expect you to answer because people who say racist things can’t defend them and have to change the subject when called on it:
have you figured out yet how you happened to make the mistake that limited cultural factors that produced relative increased success in a limited number of fields was really a claim of innate superiority that extended to absolutely everything? Ya know, while you were hunting for Jewish supremacists (a phrase which you totally invented on your own)?

I believe this is the point where you launch another impotent bit of character assassination and allege that by quoting your own words and showing what you yourself said, I’m being a meany.
Do I buy that lottery ticket yet?

Oh I’ll add a few more points.

  1. There are well established tropes that anti-Semites have commonly used through history and that they continue to use to this day. Some of these are:
    -Jews in powerful positions should not be trusted; their concern for what is “good for Jews” will cloud their judgement. The advanced version evokes a conspiracy, but only when the crowd is already known to be receptive to that sort of thinking. Variants include that Jews are promoting some despised political viewpoint, be it neocon or communism or globalism or liberalism. All of which are political views that some Jews possess.
    -Jews are too powerful of a force in our media and as a result our culture is too heavily influenced by “their” values. Variants of this include the lack of Christian values, a lack of respect for organized religion and revealed truths, a bias towards Israel, and others. Again, the advanced version for receptive crowds explicitly suggests a conspiracy, but stage one is to get the crowd just accepting the possibility that maybe it is not a good thing that there are so many Jews so successful in this field.
    -Jewish success is not due to talent or hard work but due to Jews being so clannish - meaning that they look out for their own, effectively discriminating against the rest of us.
    -Jews think they are better than the rest of us - the Jewish Supremacist meme.

  2. A common current tactic is to try to water down those tropes to a “just asking questions” level to at least get the basic concepts implanted as something reasonable to think about.

  3. Someone who evokes several of those tropes, even in the slightly watered down versions, will set off many a Jew’s spidey sense. Spidey sense is not infallible, and someone who is, just coincidentally and innocently raising at least three of those tropes, may be honestly surprised and offended by having their motivations questioned. But once the historic context has been politely explained ignorance is no longer an excuse, and once they are in full possession of that knowledge their calling those who hear them as watered down versions of the classic Jew-hater tropes delusional or hypersensitive is even harder to accept as innocent ignorance.

Again, considering some tropes classically used by anti-Semites to be reasonable does not mean one is a Jew hater. Lack of specific knowledge is more common than hatred I think. But engaging in a pattern of promoting the (watered down versions of the) tropes and then attempting to mock those who express offense while being aware of how those tropes have been used in the past, is, at best, not very smart.

I see Finn’s post on preview. I really don’t want to be piling on, but I already wrote this, so I am posting it.

On a side note, “ecuswbrkt” is interesting.
Not quite sure how that happened.

Finn, I realize that this is one of your hot topics, but your post #215 gets way too personal in regards to your interpretation of beliefs that you claim that Spoke holds.

Back off and limit your comments to actual statements that other posters have made in this thread without projecting “what they really mean (in your opinion)” onto the discussion.
[ /Modding ]

This is also an interesting concept. What makes one “a bigot”?

Is it attitude and beliefs or action only? Is the little old home bound White lady who holds a host of stereotypic and hurtful beliefs about various minorities, but who has no actual contact with any individuals from those groups, so does not actually treat any one differently from anyone else, not a bigot?

Is it possible, especially if one is not consciously aware that one holds particular biases, for someone who has “biases as to specific groups of people whether based on race, religion, ethnicity or whatever”, to then treat people from those groups exactly the same as they do everyone else? Or is it more likely that they, without making any conscious decision to do so, interact with members of those groups differently? And if they consciously believe that their goal is “give the benefit of the doubt” but their actions are actually, even subtly, biased, are they bigots?

I am not sure.

I didn’t touch on this before, but the distinction that was drawn is a very odd one. if someone has biases as to specific groups of people whether based on race, religion, ethnicity or whatever, as it was put, it seems odd not to say that they have biases against those groups. And there are several terms we have to describe such biases.

The idea that those biases don’t really count unless they’re acted upon seems idiosyncratic. Someone who thinks that all gay men are just waiting to rape young boys doesn’t have to go out and beat up gays in parking lots in order for folks to say that there’s a problem with their beliefs.
Nor is it particularly convincing that someone might hold prejudices about an ethnic group but treat individual members with the ‘benefit of the doubt’. If someone thinks that all blacks are probably lazy drug addicts but they talk to a black man and figure that he’s ‘one of the good ones’ (and so articulate, too!), I’m not sure how it makes things any better.

Bigotry, racism, prejudice, whatever, are patterns of belief. To argue that they don’t apply because they don’t match specific actions seems to confuse what it means to hold negative beliefs about a group.
