The Most Racist Article I've Seen

[fj1200]

What is new is taking crimes already on the books, and making them "more serious" just because they involve two different races. Well, it would seem that as long as one of those races is white, anyway. Hence the equating of hate crime and racism.

Then you'd have to assume that all those committing hate crimes are racist.

All this sniping back and forth is tiresome. Can't you all find things to debate besides each others flaws?

I'd hate to start regularly moving formerly good threads to the Cage.

At the risk of getting hit with the "don't openly question mods" at some point doesn't the blame need to be put on EXACTLY who it belongs on?

[ConHog]

Fine with me as you reading abilities couldnt even match that.
You were the one using his one liners not me genius.
Accusing othes to hide a secret is an old ruse perhaps you should find another.-

Would explain why you have continually been calling other posters stupid , illiterate, and gay.

See now this is how rumors get started-- I'm not in any fight with anyone. I merely commented that anal sex and jerking off weren't relevant to the discussion.

I wouldn't say Marion berry's being elected is overtly racist-- maybe his constituents just empathize with a crackhead sex addict. No different than me voting for a environmental conservative. White or not.

Marion Barry was elected to city council here, his ward is ALL blacks, SE D.C., so sure his vote is gonna be from all Blacks but it wasn't racist, there were a couple other Blacks running against him.

[OCA]

In the case of Marion Barry there is no other explanation but racism. The man beat white democrats to get back into office. Blacks voted for that incompetent criminal simply because he is black. As to the question you think is relevant, in the big picture I agree it is a more important question to ask. However, I think we already know the answer It's going to take a few more men like Allen West who are willing to get off the liberal "21st century plantation" to turn that around.

Again he is on city council, he represents a 100% Black ward. No Whites ran against him.

I think that is exactly the assumption made by those who wrote the laws and those who prosecute based on it. Assuming there are two races involved. There are also gay hate crimes, etc.

[OCA]

Charlie Rangel, Shirley Lee, J. Jackson Jr. just to name a few. And Marion Barry who publicly stated he hates Asians.

Can we get a link to overtly racist quotes from them?

Last I checked, it really does take two to tango.

Then later tonight when I have more time, I'll compile a list of the latest dances and send them to you so you can see who has been dancing and who hasn't been.

Too true, not to say they don't try to equate the two but I think it's disingenuous to make the argument. Racism has, or had anyway, a specific definition that is no longer used IMO. And of course a gay hate crime couldn't be racist anyway.

oh, I don't know many consider gays to be sub human so certainly they might be racists under their own definition.


The whole idea of hate crimes is preposterous at any rate. Show me a love crime.

[Thunderknuckles]

Show me a love crime.

Taking advantage of your wife who's sleeping naked next to you?

Love or lust?

Love or lust?

That is why I separated them from the so-called race crimes.
