Random Politics & Religion #18

Speaking of nazis..

The coalition of all neo-nazi parties of Europe is organizing a convention in Italy and there's a bunch of controversy between people who think it should be denied and those who say it should be allowed.

There's another thing though worth noting: Italy is a country with one of the, if not the strictest anti-fascism laws in the world. It is illegal since the end of ww2 to incite any type of fascist rethoric.

And these *** chose to come here of all places lol.

Ask Hillary how identity politics worked out for her !

They Democrats can't even decide which agenda is more important racism sexism or whatever ism of the day !

Murder is illegal too did that ever stop anyone ?

It's called a joke.

Take a hit and pass it on, man!

Falling on the "well, my life sucks because I'm <insert minority status>" and "check your <insert what is currently considered socially bad by the social justice warriors of the world> privileges" is just trying to substantiate your own failings in life.

Because if you honestly believe the words you just typed, I have multiple (we are talking in the millions, just in the US alone) examples of people who are, what you consider "socially challenged due to events beyond their control, such as skin pigmentation or the lack of the Y chromosome," successful in their lives contrary to your assertions. I also have multiple (we are talking in the millions, just in the US alone) examples of the complete opposite (meaning "non-socially challenged people" being unsuccessful in their lives).

Yes, racism exists. It needs to be abolished and/or removed from society. But neither is harping on it, glorifying it, or financially/socially being dependent on it is going to solve the problem.

You want to help solve the issue of racism? Stop promoting it.

That's a lot of ifs ! To which I say:

The law is an ***...

We need more okey doke !

School Choice: the only acceptable White privilege

Sir check your privilege at the door !

If it's and buts were candy and nuts...Muslims would hug and kiss us !

Discussing it is not promoting it. Racism is not an excuse for failure but it is a factor. I don't know why this is the hardest concept to get.

I checked my privileged turns out I'ms till white and can't do anything about it...

People who deny the existence of discrimination are either the ones applying it or enormously ignorant. Same for those who think the problem should be ignored and silenced.

I could be less white if I got a tan though...

But lucky for us, we don't live in the Middle East.

But lucky for us, we live in a society where racial discrimination is illegal and those who continue such practices can be held both criminally and civilly.

You mean like racial discrimination in regards to being accepted into colleges? Or workforce? Where a candidate is judged on the color of their skin and accepted only on the premise of the color of their skin?

Normally, that would be illegal, but the thing is, it's still happening, and it's being promoted as racial diversity, so it's not being challenged.

In today's society (both US and Canada), you are more likely to be not only accepted, but even rewarded, if you are in a minority class.

I do like to be lectured by strangers though. It's like school all over again !

If you are encouraging ignorance I can support that !

I'm not saying that. Maybe that's why you still don't get it.

Or you are just being obtuse, per usual.

There are multiple opportunities to get into college if you are a minority, but there are no scholarships rewarded because you are white. Cause that's racist.jpg.

You are also more likely to get a loan if you are a minority, but if you aren't and in the same position, fat chance.

There are also more opportunities for minorities to get a business loan than anyone else. Not because you have a good idea or business plan, mind you. Just because you fit in that class of people who feel victimized all the time....

Face it, minorities have more chances than not to succeed in life than the "majority" (aka white male). Still doesn't guarantee that you will succeed though, that all depends on individual talents, which is the only trait worth acknowledging.

I tried to get elected to the Congressional Black Caucus they said "seats taken"

So much missing the point today. Racism is not to be silenced or ignored. The point is not to deny its existence. The point is to prevent entirely counterproductive attitudes and policies that only serve to preserve racism and create division.

Quiet someone might learn something !

Haven't we discussed racism and all concluded that racism bad mmkay. Don't do racism !

Crap, gonna fix some wording here since I was trying to base my comments off of Seha's post and screwed it up....

Ignorance is no excuse it's just a good one !
