Except, I don’t think he’s using the built in Ignore system. I think he has a long scroll of parchment of our usernames written in his pure, untainted, white-man blood.
Seen it, they are posted in his blog, I think he would bleed to dead if he updated his entries with all the ones that he has “banned”
The people arguing with **Brazil84 **should stop; he’s not a fully functioning human being. He has some sort of mental disorder–my guess is some level of autism plus OCD–that prevents him from participating in a debate like normal people. And don’t think I mean this in any way as an insult; I am making a simple observation.
You’re asking for evidence, but he quite literally lacks the mental capacity to understand what you mean; he will argue minutia and irrelevancies not because he’s trying to change the subject, but because he is fundamentally incapable of understanding the concept of rational thought. Bless his heart, he really does think he’s debating when he argues over word order or other trivialities.
You’re not going to change his mind because his deficiencies make that impossible. No amount of counterargument will move him from his position because he cannot change his position. You’re arguing with him like he’s a person, but you should be arguing with him like he’s a door.
If you want to convince the lurkers, then address them, but give up on trying to reason with Brazil84.
It’s instructive to note that other ‘conservative’ posters are not condemning this bullshit but rather are asking that the SDMB, in essence, “teach the controversy”.
Next time there’s a conservative throwing a tantrum about being assumed to be racist (generally something they do without the slightest provocation) it would be worth pointing this out.
I get it, I just don’t care. Consider me the well-intentioned individual who jumps on the racist grenade so that you don’t have to. We’ll keep them focused on these threads and you can enjoy your regular programming without turds in the punchbowl, as it were.
I’ve noted this in that mammoth thread but for all the posters who are uninterested in sifting through it: keeping them occupied in 1 or 2 Pit threads keeps them out of other threads.
They’re not trolling in the strict sense of the world. They sincerely believe that their personal beliefs constitute some kind of “evidence”. I, on the other hand, sincerely believe they have some kind of psychological issues and keeping them occupied is better than not.
That said, starting 2 or 3 other threads for them to infect is a **mammoth **waste of time.
If you’re going to even partially defend them, look at their posts. This is a fucking weak defense of stupid posters. It bears repeating: nobody claimed the achievement gap doesn’t exist. The main counter-argument has been, for several weeks, that those disgusting pig-fucker racists had no GENETIC evidence, despite their claims to the contrary.
When a poster claims Barack Obama’s intelligence ‘obviously’ comes from his mother’s “white” genes rather than his father’s “black” genes, you might want to reconsider even a half-hearted defense of the poster’s thesis.
It’s disgusting that you’d reflexively try to come up with some kind of justification for criticism of a POV you disagree with. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt as neglecting to have read even a small fraction of the inane chatter those pig-fucker racists present as “logic” if you think you gave some kind of valid criticism.
Dang, no Neanderthal DNA. They are doomed.
**Nzinga **is right, why quote the whole racist post? A link is all we needed really.
Also, you can dial back the hip hop but keep the BBQ coming please…
Good Pitting. I like that you said “wrongness, fail, and idiocy.” Succint, thorough, funny, and insulting.
They can’t be trolls, because trolling is against the board rules and if they were trolls, the mods would have banned them, see?:dubious:
My mental disorder is that I’m willing to state the truth even though it violates social taboos to do so.
That’s not true at all, if you want me to supply evidence for a claim that I have made, it’s very simple:
-
Quote the claim that I made.
-
Represent to me that you are seriously skeptical of my claim and explain exactly what aspect of it you are seriously skeptical of.
-
Ask for evidence to back it up.
But for some strange reason, my opponents (in general) have a hard time doing this. Many seem to prefer responding to claims they wish or imagine I had made – as opposed to the claims I actually make. Some seem to want me running around finding evidence for claims they don’t seriously dispute.
I don’t mind if you put me on your ignore list for being a racist.
I do not express hatred here. I calmly state my opinions and document the factual assertions those opinions are based on. Because my arguments are valid, they cannot be refuted. This frustrates those who prefer to believe what is not true, so they express hatred for me.
All anyone has to do to prove that I am mistaken is to prove that blacks behave and perform as well as whites. Now, I have demonstrated that Orientals - and of course I am talking in terms of averages - actually behave and perform better than whites.
So, go out and do it. Demonstrate how No Child Left Behind is achieving its goals by erasing the race gap in academic achievement, while leaving no black children behind. Explain how the civil rights legislation in the United States was followed by declines in black crime and illegitimacy. Describe how black urban neighborhoods are centers of civilization, obedience to the law, and decorum. Tell me how the end of European colonialism has caused sub Saharan Africa to thrive.
I’m not stopping you. Do it.
The hatred of those who dislike being told the truth about racial differences is not bottled up, it pours out.
If the failure of No Child Left Behind to erase the race gap has not been caused by innate racial inferiority of those it was intended to help, it has been caused by their laziness and disruptive behavior. Have you ever sat in one of their class rooms? If those people are not biologically inferior, they are morally inferior. It cannot be said that they are superior except in athletics.
Don’t you get tired of making excuses for those people? I got tired years ago. Then I got tired of hearing excuses.
No, your mental disorder is almost certainly autism. I’m willing to reconsider if you can produce a psychiatrist report stating that you’re not autistic, but your responses in this thread are not indicative of a normal functioning human being.
Yeah, this statement displays a disconnect from reality. I won’t argue about it, because I think that you honestly believe it to be true and a normal statement, but that’s just further evidence of your disconnect from reality.
I dislike those who try to silence those whose arguments they cannot refute with the use of negative epithets.
I am not afraid of being called a “racist.” brazil84 is not either. Nevertheless the use of that term is a distraction from what ought to be a civil discussion of black crime, inferior intellectual performance, and illegitimacy, and the reasons for it.
What should be of interest is why black crime and illegitimacy increased greatly after the civil rights legislation was passed, while there were only marginal improvements in black academic performance.
Except when you call black people savages who spread their savagery everywhere they go.
Most of these assertions are anything but factual- like Lynn’s fabricated data.
Your pitied, not hated- because your own hatred has blinded you to what’s obvious to most.
As has been said many times, there is no way to scientifically measure how one “behaves and performs”. And you have demonstrated nothing except the existence of an achievement gap in a few societies.
I don’t understand at all your obsession with NCLB- it failed ALL children, not just black ones. It’s a failed program.
Crime of all sorts, including “black” crime, has been going down for the last 20 years. Not that crime or illegitimacy says anything at all about genetics.
None of this has anything to do with genetics. The ghettoes in Warsaw 80 years ago were also rife with crime and poverty- and this fact said nothing about the genetics of those who lived there. You keep sidestepping your own issue, and bringing up things like the achievement and economic gaps which no one has denied. Who are you even arguing with anymore? Your explanation was about genetics, which you’ve provided zero supporting genetic evidence for. You fail now as you have failed before. You’re unable to contain your obvious hatred of black people (feel free to try and deny that you hate black people- your use of words like “savages” reveals your true beliefs).
I pity you. Someday you may see what harm you’ve wrought on yourself with all that hatred.
My observation is that those of your persuasion are not able to refute the arguments of barzil84 and me, so you defame us.
All you need to do is to demonstrate that blacks behave and perform as well as whites, or explain why they do not in ways that absolve them of responsibility.
You’ve told no truth here, except when expressing your own hatred (have I failed to mention the time you called black people savages who spread their savagery everywhere they go?). You think the existence of the achievement gap is evidence for a genetic difference between “races”- which is absurd, because there have been achievement gaps (that have been reversed countless times) between populations throughout history. Why would it suddenly be a genetic thing now, when it’s never been before?
More obsession with NCLB. I don’t get it. Bad programs don’t help anyone.
“Their” classrooms? You mean a class with lots of black people in it? Sure. I grew up in New Orleans. Some students were disruptive, some were studious, some were fidgety, etc. It seemed like a normal classroom to me.
Your obsessed with inferiority and superiority. If IQ measures this- then let’s see yours. I wonder how many people in the thread you’re inferior to?
I haven’t made any excuses. You haven’t proved anything that was in doubt. We all accept the existence of an achievement gap. Don’t you ever get tired of hating black people? That hatred is not going to get better, you know, unless you make an effort to change it. What happened to you? What is your personal experience with black people? Were you attacked? Were you robbed? What was it?
I think **Brazil84 **is autistic, but I think you’re stupid.
You know everyone, putting all sarcasm aside, autism makes some sense…
