Snivelling. That’s the word I was looking for last night. As in "abject snivelling coward. "
Although we have no reason to believe any details your shared about your personal life we can see from your style, phrasing, and choice of subjects that you are a coward and a bigot. You wish you had the balls to be a bully.
But you don’t. You retreat like the spineless worm you are once the people you have been pissing on have had enough.
Here’s your fucking pity attention. Now stop bothering the grownups.
Reddy, you should go and hang out in Cafe Society or the Game Room and contribute there. Leave this thread alone and it will disappear. Spend time listening to subjects other than statues and race, don’t get so angry at all of this.
I’m a white male and I do not feel like people are blaming me for things that white people did in the past. Your posts about that, your betters, having to bend the knee, are bizarre in the extreme and do not reflect any sort of experience I’ve seen. Stop following stories about PC and SJWs and you’ll find that that’s almost all nutpicking and, in real life, those issues are very minor.
Also, Ashkenazi Jews don’t consider themselves white? Huh? Is this anywhere near a majority opinion? I live in a neighborhood with many A. Jews and that would never have occurred to me. I’m half that myself and I check the White box on forms. What would they check?
I had no idea that was his real name! Thanks! For the record, he’s a great singer and songwriter, and it was terrible that he died so young, but he doesn’t really belong on the same list as Einstein and Lincoln in terms of great males (white or otherwise). I just included him because of the OP’s user name.
Einstein was Ashkenazi, so I guess he doesn’t count either, per the OP.
Well you are equally responsible for their sins as their descendants are – which is to say not at all. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have not had some advantages due to race.
An Orthodox Cecilian would insist that Himself is beyond such petty distinctions as race or gender. Reform Cecilians point out that to be unaware of race or gender is form of ignorance, and would violate the Prime Directive.
I’m not sure what charge you are making against Jimmy Carter. Is he a liar? a hypocrite? Or just indecisive?
I hope it’s just being indecisive. As a centrist myself, I empathize with Carter. Lots of social issues do not have simple black and white answers. To reverse one’s-self after 4 years of self-education is something to be proud of, not ashamed of.
Present-day America is not a hospitable environment for centrists like myself. We’re expected to be adamant about cis/trans/whatevers being allowed or forbidden in various bathrooms. We’re supposed to either want to tear down statues of Thomas Jefferson or to put up more statues ofhim. We either like it when cops kill blacks … or want blacks to start killing cops! :eek:
You are nowhere near the most despised poster here. We have doorhinge. We’ll always have Doorhinge.
If you’re seriously upset about the reactions you’re getting here, treat it as a teachable moment and try to really understand some of the racial issues that are getting under your skin and figure out why it’s bothering you so much. Racial issues have always been complicated, and in the scheme of things, you don’t have it so bad. Many of us have little patience for a white guy complaining about how hard it is. In the off chance something has actually hurt you because you’re a white guy, welcome to “life.”
You need to stay as far away from situations where “should the need arise”.
Note to self:
If I ever start thinking “What was that withering put-down by DrFidelius? Looks like I’m going to have to use it in five, four, three…” I’m going to run away as fast as I can before I get to two.
I wonder why Jews in particular dislike Stuyvestant so much? He was a complete dick to anybody who wasn’t Dutch Reformed Church, not just the Jews. He treated Lutherans, Catholics and Quakers like shit as well. Why is there a statue of him at all?
