I was actually referring to where you just called me stupid.Yeah, you really aren't. Saying that you are racist is not calling you a name....
If fair, fine. When based on your imagination of things not said, not fine.....it is pointing out that you support attitudes and policies that contribute to the oppression of people based on race.
Wait, what? Can you explain that? It sounds like you are claiming blacks commit fewer crimes than whites. I can't fathom a way to spin that for it to be true.This statement would seem less racist if it were true, but since this is not true - seems kinda racist....
You vastly overestimate the diversity of the news sources available to small town and rural Americans in the course of their daily life. The big radio and TV stations are about it. Madanthony is being simply informative when he tells you about aspects of ordinary reality he has never heard of.Yes, and if you look at the district results in virtually all of the "swing" states, the cities almost universally voted for Clinton, while rural areas and small towns voted for Trump.

Part of the problem here is that with the diversity of news sources available, people can now pick and choose sources that reflect their existing political views. So, they never see the point of view of people who have the opposite political affiliation.

Blacks and whites of equivalent demographic status seem to commit about the same number of crimes overall, sure. Why would you think differently? There are some differences in type of crime committed, but these seem circumstantial.Wait, what? Can you explain that? It sounds like you are claiming blacks commit fewer crimes than whites. I can't fathom a way to spin that for it to be true.
Trump kind of blew that out of the water, though. Civility and being together with Trump and his supporters are mutually exclusive conditions at the moment.We should all come together and be civil.

Sure. But if you say something racist, then you said something racist Just because you are too stupid to realize that something is racist doesn't mean that it's not racist. Just because you don't want to be called racist doesn't mean you're not racist.
The Trump supporters are against the dualstandard. They believe in human rights, which are the same for all, regardless of race, sex, etc.. They do not believe in separate and/or extra rights just because you votes for Democrats.
Its not just the swing states. Virtually every "blue" state is a blue state because of one or more big cities running up so many Democrat votes that they overwhelm the rest of the state which votes Republican.madanthonywayne:

That problem is exacerbated by the open hostility found on many sites (including this one) for people with an opposing viewpoint.Another interesting effect is the clustering of politically like-minded by geography, as you say. I don't think your experience would be at all unusual. I think a lot of Trump voters would not know anybody who would have voted for Clinton, and an equal number of Clinton voters who would not know anybody who voted for Trump.
Part of the problem here is that with the diversity of news sources available, people can now pick and choose sources that reflect their existing political views. So, they never see the point of view of people who have the opposite political affiliation. That lack of discussion of policies and ideas means that people end up voting in a kind of vacuum, based on perceptions of personalities and stereotypes and caricatures.
They aren't.I'm doing it, not hard actually, take a chill pill or something, smoke some marry jane, etc.
You mean hostility toward you for posting as you do? It's not being "opposing" that renders your viewpoints foul.That problem is exacerbated by the open hostility found on many sites (including this one) for people with an opposing viewpoint.
They aren't.
Trump's entire campaign was run on rejecting civility, and flying the thug flag high and proud. Look at the title of this thread.
I certainly hope you are correct, for the sake of the USA, firstly, and the world secondly.Interesting.
But hope it reverses; like 9/11 to 11/9, this should become destroy to create peace and harmony with prosperity.
Yes. Because the people saying "black lives matter" are doing so in a context of black people not being recognized by people like you. You are, right now, trying to diminish their concerns because you are a racist. Some other person, ignorant of history, might say, "all lives matter" and say something racist but not mean to be racist. You, on the other hand, we can tell are actually racist.If you believe in black lives matter, you will be treated differently, than if you believe white lives matter. The first makes you progressive the second makes you a racists.
Sure, because there is a context of men ignoring the rights of women and there is a context of people who claim to represent men's rights who do nothing for men and only work to oppress women. You cannot be ignorant of this.If you believe in women's rights, you will be treated differently than if you believe in men's rights. The first makes you progressive and the second makes you sexists.
Hardly. Nobody who is in favor of gay rights thinks that heterosexuals shouldn't have rights. However, you are probably referring to those people who believe in the right to oppress those who do not conform to very conservative (and mostly false) ideas of sexuality. Those who believe that are wrong.If you believe in gay and lesbian rights, you will be treated differently than if you believe in the rights of traditional sexuality. The first is called progressive and the second is a phobia.
This is clearly false, since you are a Trump supporter and you believe that straight white men should have opportunities that other people should not.The Trump supporters are against the dual standard. They believe in human rights, which are the same for all, regardless of race, sex, etc.. They do not believe in separate and/or extra rights just because you votes for Democrats.
There is science to support the idea that the rhetoric of slavery still exists. You spout it regularly, especially when you regularly lie about the history of the Republican party and their racism.Trump supporters do not believe the son is responsible for the sins of the father. Slavery was terrible, while women were not allowed to vote until the last century. However, nobody around today had anything to do with that, unless your believe in a form of reincarnation, where white male souls of the past can only come back if they enter white male bodies of the future. There is no science to support this.
Except that they clearly are.The Trump supporters are not against immigration and immigrants.
Except that they clearly don't. They are not the ones running around with anti-immigrant signs.Liberals think illegal and legal immigration is the same thing.
Why don't you try not hating?If you hate criminal aliens you also hate honest aliens.
Except that they clearly are.Trump supporters are not against Muslims.
And that's why people identify you as racist.Wait, what? Can you explain that? It sounds like you are claiming blacks commit fewer crimes than whites. I can't fathom a way to spin that for it to be true.
It's just rather hard to comprehend in this day and age, how such a misogynistic, racist, isolationist, pig of a man, is going to accomplish such good.
Either that, or he is no more than a manipulative lying individual, that has set out to appeal to such qualities in others just to get votes.
Of course not. I plan to be civil as always. But expecting the Trump crowd to be civil in return is silly - there is no way to join together in mutual civility with Trump's electoral base.So therefor you should not be a civilize adult human and instead shit in your cupped hand and fling it at them as they have towards you?
