Things that I marvel at

[devilof76]

Clinton was prepared while he wanted to wing it and he lost.

And the look on her face when she let him know she was prepared to be President was utterly psychotic.

If that lady wanted to convince me to vote for her, the last thing she should have shown was how badly she wanted that power. He doesn't seem to be particularly concerned whether he wins or not. It's just a game.

She is dead serious. No bueno.

'Racist' has sadly become a lazy leftist shout-down.

Hard to take anyone seriously who uses the word. Most of them can't tell the difference between saying "most violent crime is committed by blacks" and "blacks are violent criminals". They think that imagining the insinuation is enough to convict. I bet they'd make good jury members in a witch trial.

I dunno. If the scepter of power were within the grasp of either me or Trump I would do everything I could to keep it away from him too.

Except that's not what we're seeing. Her ambition has nothing to do with protecting the country from him. He's just an obstacle.

You have not been paying attention.

We need a new word that actually means 'racist'

Lejuan, you haven't been paying attention.

Perhaps the left should pocket their racism.

I hear, "White people did...white people do...white people should..." and my first reaction is, "Shut your ****ing mouth, racist." But it's a rare opportunity because no one blames any particular race in this country for their own goddamned problems.

Did you suppose that kind of thinking is somehow not racist?

99% of the time the supposed offense wouldn't even be racist, it would be bigoted but these finger-pointers are too stupid to understand the language they're using

People in this country don't understand the difference between racism and bigotry. There's tons of bigotry going around that's incorrectly labeled as racism.

Such as?

It would behoove you to elaborate.

So he automatically would show supportive data of new hires by the gov early in his presidency. lol

WHat's the percentage of Americans that consider quitting their job every day?

Good. The odds of them not being a total waste of my tax dollars is 0.

bluuuuuuuffing.

Has this ever happened before?

I'm sure it has, especially when the party changes.

I'm just going by the literal definitions. Bigotry is intolerance. Racism is the belief one's race is superior or that other races are inferior. That's how I look at it. So people are intolerant towards aspects of different cultures but that alone doesn't make them racists. When an individual says that a person did or said something racist then whatever it is should at least appear to demonstrate the person believes another race is inferior.

I'm relieved to see that I am just a bigot.

Most people probably are bigots today. Instead of saying the country is more polarized, the media should say we've become more bigoted than ever before.

Yeah right. How many were polled. I work with 10K+ federal employees at my location and not one was polled. So it can't be a real 25%. Even if true, it's just talk. "Polls" said similar things in 2008.....anything for a click.

I would define racism as the belief that one's character is somehow determined by their lineage. In the extreme, it identifies lineage with landmasses (i.e., my people have lived on this land for x centuries, therefore, it is ours). Superiority/inferiority are a function of bigotry (which I'd define as irrational bias) and are integral to racial pride. Since there is no such thing as individual virtue in racism, there is no such thing as individual achievement. Since a healthy human psychology requires personal achievement to maintain itself, and because racial achievement is a myth, relying on racial pride will leave a person with no self-esteem. Race ends up being a surrogate, and now the idea of superiority or inferiority among races becomes inevitable. All achievement by outsiders will be a reproach, and all failures by outsiders will be a vindication.

What I have seen of late is that the sense of superiority/inferiority has become less of a power standard (land, women, etc) and more of a moral standard ('this race', or 'that race', is evil). But, racial guilt is as real as racial pride and it's all the same primitive, hidebound, anti-cognitive mindset. It makes smart people idiots and it gives idiots a chance to excel. If anything deserves intolerance, racism deserves it in spades, and to the hilt.
