No, facebook is an absolutely reasonable example of social media. You’re starting to engage in pettifoggery.
Yes, morons who voted for Obama twice before they voted for Obama.
Were they morons then too?
Kind of like how Julian Assange was a hero when he gave us info on Bush but a traitor when he gave us info on Hillary.
Not trying to convince you. You’re likely a lost cause. too deeply immersed in the cool aid. You’re probably STILL wondering how rump won that election.
What racism against whites am I tolerating?
No cite there, so I’ll respond with my own cite-free data (I’ve started a thread about it, I think, and I’ll cite when I’m able) – police shoot 21 times as many young black men as young white men despite young black men only having about ~6-8 times the murder rate. Further, 50% of black people report being mistreated personally by law enforcement. That’s more than enough data to provide legitimate reasons for distrust of law enforcement.
Because people rightfully recognized it as virtually nothing, as it was in response to horrible shit on twitter.
I’ve been called racist and I haven’t shut up. If anyone’s been “shut up”, it’s because they shut themselves up. This is almost entirely nonsense. It’s just an excuse to whine about criticism. Hell, you’ve been called racist and you haven’t shut up. Do you have a single example of someone being shut up?
It was a non-apology apology. She didn’t acknowledge her posts as racist, instead hiding behind “countertrolling” and “satire” as an excuse for her hateful tweets. Unless she apologizes for her racism, I’m still going to call her an unapologetic racist.
Sure. You can call her anything you want. Have fun with it!
When the only racism you post about (that I’ve seen, anyway - please correct me if I’m wrong) is supposedly anti white racism, it makes me suspect you don’t really understand or care about racism in the real world, which harms people of color orders of magnitude more than white people.
I tried looking for past elections where Obama ran against Trump. I wasn’t able to find any.
You are correct. Facebook is an absolutely reasonable example of social media. However, an individual’s Facebook feed is piss-poor example of what liberals or anyone other mass group of Americans say or believe.
Any reasonable person knows that.
Lack of voting by Democrats who all assumed that Hillary was going to win regardless if they voted or not?
If Trump would have won my state, then I too would be one of those people. And I would take partial blame for it as well. Like intelligent people do.
No.
You’re trying to shut someone up by calling her a racist when she is not.
As manson1972 adroitly points out, rock on with your bad self. Call anyone anything.
You’re wrong. But you do you.
It is true that racism against people of color is a bigger problem, but it just doesn’t seem necessary to fight that battle on this message board since that point of view is already very well represented. I’m also unaware of any active posters that are preaching hatred against people of color.
There are plenty of active posters who “preach” that black people are inferior in various ways, and a handful who advocate for hate (or hateful usage of language, like that it’s okay to call certain black people the n-word).
:smack: Wowwww. That’s seriously your final answer? The oldest and most pathetic dodge in the book? “I could do it if I wanted to, I just don’t feel like it.” Did you go to Trump University or something? :dubious:
And no: not a single person has demonstrated any error in post #942, which was a takedown of a post by EE (and one actually from this thread!) in which he continued his self-admitted tendency to be “arrogant, verbose and wrong”—showing that even after admitting this, he couldn’t help but do the same thing all over again. It doesn’t require any empirical data or any context: the aggressive erroneousness is self-contained and quite clearly laid out in my post.
…ah. So your tone policing. Gotcha.
Nope.
Thats because my personal facebook feed is a reflection of my friends and my family and a refection of what they think and they do.
Just like your facebook feed is a reflection of the people that you follow.
And if your facebook feed is telling you that people are running around yelling “fuck white people” all that means is that you are following some outlandish people.
So if you want to fix that: then stop following those people.
No they fucking aren’t.
And I told you that I looked at my facebook feed and there was nobody there yelling “fuck white people.”
“Social media in general” is a completely fucking different thing.
And now you are citing “social media in general”? Why don’t you just cite the fucking internet?
I’m not making the claim that they are. You made that claim, you answer that question.
What the fuck do you know about “what my brand” is? I stand for social justice. I fight for the rights of the marginalized. You actually think that’s a problem?
How delusional are you?
More fucking outrageous lies. Nobody voted for Trump because of me.
My dad was Samoan. His granddad was part of the Mau movement and was murdered by New Zealand police. My mum is Ngāpuhi. Any other personal details about me do you think you are entitled to know?
New Zealand is racist as fuck. I talked about this on these very boards just yesterday.

You don’t know jackshit about my country apart from what you just looked up on google. You even thought I was pakeha, didn’t you?
You stupid piece of shit. I wasn’t making a comparison. I was answering your fucking question.
The dominant group quite happily shares power. Do some fucking research.
When I see “liberals” accusing people of being racist: generally its because those people are racist.
They do it because those people are fucking racist.
There are plenty of white folk in New Zealand who feel threatened. There are plenty that push back. There are plenty that advocate change that will take power away from the tangata whenua.
We fight against them. We push them to the fringes. We marginalize them. And we do that with the power of our voice. We do that by doing all the things that you implore us not to.
And you finish with a strawman. Because of course you fucking would.
There is another way he could claim that it happens on Facebook, and one I think is far more likely: he goes to one of those places that deliberately collects this stuff. Maybe it’s a group on Facebook about shitty things that have been said. Maybe it’s a subreddit, similar to r/BlackPeopleTwitter, but for Facebook. Maybe it’s news articles from outrage porn sites that show examples. Or maybe it’s just friends who posts memes that say that black people say these things.
All of these are more likely than actually being friends with these people he thinks are racist. Problem is, they all will cherry pick the worst stuff, making them an even more slanted view of what these people actually think.
Twitter you can use, since you could search Twitter. It would be limited by what you searched for, but at least you could get some actual data. But not Facebook.
Even if we were to assume that liberals started becoming racist against white people, why would that lead to Trump in office? Why wouldn’t Republicans have nominated one of the other candidates? They were all on the “liberals are the true racists” bandwagon, calling them PC and SJWs and stuff.
Also, Clinton herself never attacked white people. And yet most Trump voters cite Clinton as the reason they voted for Trump.
You’re still talking about me, huh? Man, I really clawed my way into you soul, didn’t I. Probably why you can’t learn new things–I’m taking up too much room in your head.
Anyway, my post 944 detailed the multiple lies you made in your post 942, so you can stop saying “not a single person has demonstrated any error …” now, because I did exactly that.
Also, it’s weird that someone like you would have such an obsessive focus on errors, meanwhile you make huge, enormous, incredibly stupid mistakes. Like the one I detail in post 948.
Or your mistake that started this whole thing, which you still don’t understand. I lay it out in post 929.
You’re obsessed with people admitting error. You clearly made huge stupid mistakes, as I show in the above linked posts. So…admit your errors, buddy!
Actually, just out of curiosity, can you show any post on this board where you have ever admitted error? Seems like someone like you should have done that, unless you’re some kind of hypocrite, hmmmmm…?
